Her Body to Arrive from Geneva ON
Thursday, to Lay in State on Friday
and to BE Inferred on Saturday.
POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION
FRANCIS JOSEPH AUTHORIZES THE
HOLDING OF AN AUTOPSY,
And Surgeons Find Both Heart and
WeapOn-ActiOn of Swiss Council.

VIENNA, Sept. 1.-THE plans for the fu-
neral Of the late Empress Elizabeth, who
was assassinated by an Anarchist yester-
day at Geneva, contemplate bringing the
remains to Vienna on Thursday, lying-in-
state on Friday, and the obsequies of inter-
ment on Saturday. Every flag in the city
is at half mast to-day. and the theaters,
races and other amusements are suspended
indefinitely.
All the archdukes and the Archduchess
Marie Valerie have arrived at Schoenbrunn
1t was reported last evening that Emperor
Francis Joseph had gone to Geneva by a
special train. but this was error. At
noon to-day he had not yet left Schoen-
brunn. Crown Princess Stephanie, who has
been staying at Darmstadt, has been sum-
moned.
The Emperor's fortitude is the topic of
universal admiration. He is bearing up
n.anfully despite the terrible shock, which,
in view of his age. had inspired the gravest
apprehension. Although at first stunned,
and then slightly hysterical. he soon re-
gained his self control and displayed re-
markable calmness. Occasionally, however
completely overpowered by his grief, he
noaned piteously, repeatedly sobbing the
name of the Empress. Addressing Prince
Won Liechtenstein, chief marshal of the
imperial household, he exclaimed last even
ing: 1T is inconceivable how a man
could lift his hand against one who
never in her life injured anybody
one who did nothing but good"
Then he moaned: Nothing is spared
to me in this world He managed to sleep
several hours last night, and said this morn
ing he felt comparatively well, discourage
ing the attempts of his attendants to dis
play solicitude for his health.
The shock of the news crazed one of the
court servants, who rushed from the pal
ace to Buryplatz. shrieking: Where is the
murderer OF our Empress"
Dispatches of coincidence are arriving at
the palace from all parts of the world, tes-
tifying to profound horror and sympathy
Among them are messages from President
Mckinley, from Emperor William and from
rearly all the European sovereigns.
The court will go into mourning for six
months.

A Pretty Blonde Said to be Toying
with the Young Duke of York.

NEW YORK, Sept IA copyrighted
cable letter from London to the World says:
Rumor declares that Princess Henry of
Pless is the beautiful trt to whom the
Duke of York has lost his heart. AS was
cabled last week, the duke has followed
her from city to city and recently ended
his yachting cruise suddenly when she was
bundled off to the continent. The Princess
Pless is one of the most exquisitely pretty
women of fashion in England. She was
born Miss Daisy Cornwallis West, and is
the oldest daughter of Mrs. CORVALLIS
West, the English beauty. This same Eng
lish beauty fairly upset the Prince of
Wales, and he is not easily phased, some
twenty years ago, and created no end of
gossip. Now all England is asking, is it a
case of like father, like son, like mother,
like daughter? 1t is difficult to describe
beauty of the type of Mrs. CORVALLIS West
and her daughter, because it consists in
loveliness which does not exist in any other
one type The Princess Fless is very blonde,
of little more than medium height. slender
and graceful, with laughing gray eyes,
dainty mouth, perfect teeth and wonderful
skin of pink and white. She is known for
her saucy w.t. for her grace and sprightli
ness and for the fact that she is rot afraid
The Princess May was never, even at her
best, a good looking young woman. 1t is
understood in England that the present
Duchess was really much in love with the
Duke of Clarence, whose untimely death
occurred just before the day set for their
marriage Her betrothal TO the Duke of
York was a matter of state necessity, and
one can but sympatbize with her in the 20
sition which forced her to become the wife
of man who manifestly cared nothing for
her and for whom she could not, under the
circumstances, entertain romantic affec-
ton. The duchess, in point of personal
charm and magnetism, stands no chance
with the merry little Princess of Pless. She
is a rather stolid aid conscientious young
woman, at present much occupied with the
cares and responsibilities of her three
babies She is tall, of large frame, inclined
already to embonpoint, distinctly German,
English in her di iess-the sort Of woman
who will follow up the footsteps of her
mother and make a good, comfortable ma
tron, looking forty-five before she is thir-
ty. The mother of the Princess of Pless,
Mrs. Cornwallis West is still woman of
remarkable beauty. Her f1irtation-if you
choose to call it so-with the Prince of
Wales. which occurred so many years ego,
gave the gentle Alexandria much grief.
1t is said in England that the Prince of
Wales, who is very fond of the Duchess of
York, has detern ined that the duke shall
cease his after ticns to the Princess Pless.
1t will be interesting TO know how the
Prince of Wales proposes to accomplish
this task. Will he. perhaps, read him les
son from the history of his own life? Will
there be a heart to heart talk between
father and son, and, If so, ouldn't it make
interesting res ding?

AN AUTOPSY HELD.
Both Lungs, Well as the Heart,
Pierced by the ASA ssin's weapon.

BERNE, Switzerland, Sept. 1.-THE Fed
eral Council met this morning and sent the
following telegram to Emperor Francis Jo-
seph:
'hThe Swiss Federal Council has the honor
to express to your Majesty it's profoundest
grief and deepest indignation at the horrible
crime to which her Majesty, Empress Eliza
beth, has fallen victim. Our pain and indig-
nation are all the greater owing to the foul
crime having been committed on Swiss ter
ritory, where the Departed as she had often
done before, was seeking recovery from
bodily suffering, which recovery, as on pre-
vious occasions, she had every hope of find
ing. The council hastens to assure your
Majesty at the same time of its own warm
est sympathy and that of the whole Swiss
people in the irreparable loss your Majesty
the imperial house and the peoples of Aus
tria and Hungary have suffered through
your exalted lady's death"
The flag on the federal building is at half
mast. The council reassembled this after
noon to receive reports regarding the crime
and to consider the steps to be taken. 1t is
expected that the judicia! authorities of the
Canton of vaud will conduct the inquiry
and the trial.
The Geneva cantonal government met to-
day and decided to issue proclamation ex-
pressing the horror of the government and
people of Geneva, and a decree directing
popular demonstration tomorrow. All the
civil officers will march past the Hotel
Beaurivage, followed by the citizens, all of
whom are invited to participate. During
the procession the great bell of the cathe-
dral associated with all Swiss national
demonstrations of grief and joy, will be
to,ltd.
Emperor Francis Joseph telegraphed the
Austrian minister, Count Won Kuefstein, the
consent to a post-mortem examination. DR..
Reverdin, DIR. Megevaus and DR.. Golday
were intrusted with the examina-
ton of the wound on behalf of the
judicial authorities. and accordingly pro-
ceeded to the Hotel Beaurjyage, where they
carried out their instructions. At the close
of the examination they announced that
death was caused by internal hemorrhage
from a triangular incised wound" They
decided that the injury was of a character
to leave no grounds Cor the theory, which
had been advanced, that the Empress, who
suffered from weakness of heart, might have
succumbed simply to the shock of the blow
The autopsy showed that the lungs as we'll
as the heart were pierced.
The Geneva Council will place upon the
coffin wreaths intertwined with the Aus
trian and Geneva colors, and bearing the
inscription: "A token of sorrowful sympa-
thy from the people Of Geneva"

the assassin his demeanor was one of re-
voting cynicism.

ANTr-ANARcHIsT CRUSADE.
European Newspapers Urging joint
Action Against Assassins.


Action Against Assassins.
LONDON, Sept. 11.-Many of the principal
European journals are again urging inter-
national action against Anarchists. They
recall that both the late NJ Carnot Presi-
dent of the French republic, and the late
Senior Canovas del Castillo. the Spanish
prime minister were victims of Italian An
archists.
The terrible news has thrilled Europe
from end to end. and everywhere but one
question is asked, how can society protect
itself against anarchism? Special dispatches
from every capital describe the effect pro-
duced and quote newspaper comments that
palpitate with bitter Indignation that a de-
fenseless woman, who Stunned politics and
did nothing but good, should be selected, at
the moment of the approaching jubilee, for
the assassin's knife
Perhaps the most poignant grief is dis
played in Italy, because the public mind
there is touched with shame that so many
political crimes have been committed by
Italians. King Humbert, with his own
hands, wrote a telegram expressing the
deepest sympathy. The Pope wired En-
peror Francis Joseph as follows: May God
give the strength of resignation to our dear
son Joseph, who in SO short period has
been tried by so many misfortunes. We
pray that God may bestow upon the house
of Hapsburg that peace and tranquility
which it merits by reason of it's sentiments
toward the church and the papacy."
The Pope ordered solemn mass in the
churches of Rome for the repose of the soul
of the deceased. 1t is understood that the
Prince of Naples and Emperor William,
with Empress Augusta Victoria, will at
tend the funeral.
Another feature is the intense sorrow and
sympathy evoked in Hungary. 1t Is hoped
that the sad event will tend to compose the
political troubles between the two parties
of the dual monarchy.
Emperor Francis Joseph, it is said, has
been troubled from the beginning Of the
year with gloomy forebodings, and was
often heard to express a fervent wish that
the jubilee were safely over. His brother,
Archduke Ludwig Victor, was dining at a
restaurant in the jubilee exhibition at Vi
emma when the news Of the assassination
reached him. He hastened to Schoenbrunn,
where, on meeting the Emperor, deeply
affecting scene ensued. The Emperor is
very much agitated. Twice he has started
for Vienna, each time changing his mind.
He is unable to eat anything. His daughter,
Archduchess Valerie, remains constantly at
his side. number of Italian workmen
were severely mobbed and i'll treated in a
Vienna restaurant Saturday, and were only
saved by the police from a worse fate.
1t appears that last Thursday Empress
Elizabeth had read to her passages from
one of Marion Crawford's novels describing
the Sicilian vendetta murders. She was
much Mortified at the details, which resem-
BILE those of her own death. 1t is under
stood the book had been chosen for her
with the idea of dissuading her from an in
tended visit to Sicily

cred serious The members of the signal

the negroes will land.
Colonel Roosevelt expects to have his
regiment of Rough Riders mustered out on
Thursday and the men will leave camp and
go to their homes The officers and men of
the regiment are preparing TO present to
Colonel Roosevelt testimonial of their re-
gard in the form of small bronze statue

artist. 1t is called the "Broncho Buster"
and represents a cowboy on the back of a
bucking mustang. The testimonial will cost
$3.50 and it is their intention to have every
officer and man in the regiment subscribe
something TO its purchase.

MADRID, Sept lin the Chamber Of
Deputies yesterday Captain Aunon, minister
of marine, replying to the attacks of Senior
Canalejas editor of Ell Heraldo, reminded
the deputies that when he became minister
of marine the Spanish squadron under Ad-
miral Cervera was already at Santiago de
Cuba. Therefore, he declared, he could not
be held responsible for the acts charged by
Senor Canalejas. Moreover, he asserted
that the admirals met in council and ex-
pressed a unanimous opinion that the
squadron should go to Cuba. Admiral
Cervera, not having coal or food, was un-
able" said Captain Aunon, ''to leave the
blockaded port Of Santiago. He wanted to
destroy his ships in the harbor, but 1 in
formed him that it would be preferable to
leave the port and engage the enemy Gen.
Blanco ordered Admiral Cervera to leave
Santiago and fixed the day of his depart

BUDA-PESTH, Hungary. Sept. 11.-Both
houses of the Hungarian Diet met to-day in
extraordinary session. Long before the
magnates and deputies arrived the legisla-

concourses of sorrowing people. A band of
five hundred students, carrying craped BAN
ners. lined the road leading to the entrance
to the Unterhaus. The president of the
chamber expressed the Nations sorrow and
coincidence, and in both houses motions be-
fitting the occasion were adopted. The Diet
then adjourned.

GENERAL ALGER SPEAKS.
He Says the Volunteers Did Not Take
Care of Themselves.

Care of Themselves.
DETROIT, Sept. 11.-Secretary Alger this
afternoon expressed himself as well pleased
at the Presidents selections of members of
a commission to investigate the conduct Of
the commissary, quartermaster and medical
departments of the War Department during
the war.
On the subject of sickness among the SOL
diers General Alger said 1.-THE whole
trouble has been in the volunteer troops
not knowing how to care for themselves
and carelessness in warding off disease.
The regular army men have not been
troubled as the volunteers have. They have
had yellow fever and fevers from exposure
in the trenches before Santiago, but their
general health has been good and the pro-
portion of sick and the deaths from sickness
very small The most stringent orders
have been issued in regard to keeping the
camps clean. After my tour of inspection
1 will go over the whole situation carefully,
and it is possible that a new set of regula-
tions that will be better may be issued.
1.-THE day before 1 left Washington" said
General Alger, 81 called Surgeon General
Sternberg into my Office and told him /
wanted him to build winter hospitals for
5000 men, We will have enough hospitals
if we have to raise the 5000 to $1,000. They
will be located at points where they can be
reached by transports, although just where
is not yet determined One of the hospitals
however will be at Havana. 1t will be
built just as soon as our troops are sent
to the island. 1 do not know what they
have in the city in the shape of hospitals
now, but 1 very much doubt if we would
want to take any of their infected buildings
for hospitals for our soldiers"
Brigadier General Dufield arrived home
to-day from the coast of Maine, where he
had been recuperating from illness incurred
during the Santiago campaign. Secretary
Aleer visited him this evening.

THE PROPOSED COMMISSION.
Gordon, Lamont and Lincoln Will
Probably Decline to Serve.


Probably Decline to Serve.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-At the White
House no statement was made tonight as
to the status of the commission to inquire
into the administration of army bureaus.
although it was understood that most of the
gentlemen invited by the President TO serve
on the commission had been heard from.
Some Of them, however. had written that
they had the matter under consideration
and it was thought to be desirable to await
final conclusions by all of those asked to
serve before making any announcement 1t
appears to be accepted among high officials
that General Gordon, Mr.. Lamont and Mr..
Lincoln are not likely to accept. The two
ex-secretaries of war are very busy men
of affairs, and ii is thought to be hardly
probable that they can spare the time for
the work of the commission. 1t was re-
ported tonight that Mr.. Lamont's decina-
ton had been received but this, on inquiry
failed of confirmation. The opinion was ex-
pressed by high officials that General Man
derson, Colonel Sexton and DR.. Keen
might serve. AS stated however, some of
the gentlemen have written that they had
the matter under advisement, and there is
considerable doubt what the result will be-

character. No word had come from Ma

camp.
