Go Slow.

At last the country has got a
bouquet! 1t was thrown on to
the worlds stage by fate. AT
least it was put into Uncle Sans
hands so suddenly that like
stage struck actor heis overcome
with confusion and is perplexed
about his acknowledgements of
it. He knows something of the
nature of his newly adopted pro-
tegcs who show their most amia-
bic qualities when most needing
assistance and most humbly I'M
ploring it. In looking over his
farm Uncle Sam sees that they
will be as inquisitive about its
products as geese, as persistent
and annoying as a neighbours
hens, and as fierce as hornets in
harvest time. n poverty and
oppression they imagine that
they ought to fare better than
Spanish dons because they pro-
duce the wealth and luxury that
surround and support the Span
ish nabobs. Having the idea
that they are the source of all
comfort and luxury they will
have the idea that they must en-
JOY it ali. If they have an abund-
ance of goods they will owe it to
the fecundity of their soil or the
mineral and other resources of
the islands; and if there are any
disorders or i'll adaptation of
laws to their wild condition or
anything that does not conform
to their barbaric ideas this gov
eminent will be held responsible
for it.
THIS government must soon
meet these conditions which are
so often incident to prof1ered
services; and a little later that
ingratitude which is "sharper
than a serpent's tooth" Will the
government prescribe different
rules for the government Of it's
new possessions from those
adopted for the regulation of it's
own people? Will ituphold those
new people in anything that does
not conform to republican insti-
buttons? Is it expected that
church and state are to be put
,asunder easily after having been
woven together and grown dur
ing the centuries into such aeon.
tdition of coalescence as to make
the one indistinguishable from
the other? Where Spain has op
pressed them with taxes or i'm
posts they will now expect com
plete immunity. 1t is idle to sup
pose that with their incapacity
for national life that they will
conduct their intercourse or deal
ings with this or any other coun
try in accordance with thost
rules and laws of nations an(
that sagacious diplomacy anc
national etiquette which thu
times demand. And is this gov
ernment going to be responsible
for the conduct of their affairs
while it has no hand in directing
them? 1t has thus far declared
that Spain must leave Cuban sol
and that it would protect Cub;
in setting up just such a govern

KILLING OF AUsrRIA,s EMPRESS.
The Emperor's Fortitude-court ser-
 Yant Crazed by the News.

Vienna, Sept 1.-The plans for the funeral of the late Empress Elizabeth, who was assassinated by an anarchist yesterday, cor template bringing the re- mains to Vienna next Thursday, ly- ing-in state on Friday and the inter- | ment on Saturday. Every flag in the city is at half-mast to-day and theat- CTS, races and other amusements are suspended indefinitely. All the arch dukes and Archduchess Marie have arr rived at Schoenbrunn. It was reported last evening that Emperor Francis Jo- seph had gone to Geneva by a special train; but this was an error. At noon to-day he had not yet left Shoenbrunn.
 Crown Princess Stephanie, who has been staying at Darmstadt, has been summoned.
 The emperors fortitude is the topic of universal admiration. He is bearing
 up manfully despite the terrible shock which in view of his age has inspired the gravest apprehensfon Although at first stunned and then slightly hysteri- cal, he soon regained his self-control and displayed remarkable calmness. Occasionally, however, completely over powered by his grief, he moaned pite- ously. Addressing Prince Won Liech- tenstein, chief marshal of the imperial household, he exclaimed last evening:
 Tt is inconceivable that one could lift his hand against one who never in her life injured anybody; one who did noth- ing but good"
 He said this morning that he felt comparatively well, thus discoCraging 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
 palace to Bury Platz, shriekfng: Where is the murderer of our em- press?" Dispatches of condolence are arriving at the palace from all parts of the world testifying to profound hor
 TOT and sympathy. Among them are messages from President Mckinley, from Emperor William and from all European heads of nations.

AN AUTOPSY HELD.
The Lung as Well ns the Heart Was
 Pierced.

Berne, Switzerland Sept. 1.-The
 federal council met this morning and
 sent the following telegram to Emperor
 Francis Joseph:
 The Swiss federal council has the honor to express to your majesty its profoundest grief and deepest indignation at the horrible crime. Our pain and indignation are all the greater owing to the foul crime having been committed on Swiss territory, where the de- parted was seeking recovery from bodily suffenngs which, as on previous occasions, she had every hope of finding. The council haStens to assure your majesty at the same time of it's own warmest svrDpathy for the loss you hays sustained
 The flag on the federal building is at half-mast. The council re-assembled this afternoon to receive reports regard ing the crime and to consider steps to
 be taken. It is said that the judicial authorities of the canton of Vaud will conduct the inquiry and the trial. The Geneva cantonal government met to-
 day and decided to issue a proclama-
 tion expressing the sorrow of the gov
 ernment and the people of Geneva and decree declaring a popular demon- stration tomorrow. Dr. M. Derges and
 M. Devoga, mayor of Vienna, were en- trusted with the examination of the
 wound on behalf of the judicial author
 ites and accordingly proceeded to the hotel, where they carried out their in structions. They announced that death
 was caused by internal hemorrhage from a triangular incised wound" They decided that the injury was Of e char
 acter to leave no grounds for the
 theory that the empress, who suffered from weakness of heart, might have succumbed simply to the shock of the
 blow. The autopsy showed that the lung as well as the heart was pierced The Geneva council will place upon the coffin wreaths intertwined with the German and Austrian colors. The last words of the empress was addressed to the attendants on the steamer. Recov- ering consciousness for the moment she feebly asked what had happened As yet the authorities have found no con- frmation of the report that the murder
 was part of an anarchist conspiracy;
 but dozen persons with whom the assassin associated have been arrested for examination.

H1STY WORDS LE1D TO MURDER
Another Tragedy at Greenfield, Mass.-
 No Cause Apparent.

Greenfield, Mass, Sept. 11.-A few hasty words and a step forward led to the shooting and death of Patrick Toomey last night at the hands of Mel win Hamilton. The unfortunate affair occurred just outside the town. Hamil- ton had been visiting friends in the neighborhood and was returning home He had not gone far when he came across three men, all engaged in a warm argument According to Hamil tons statement, he merely exchanged a few words with the men, when Toomey rushed and grasped him by the shoui- ders, saying with an oath, ''Tll fix you" Hamilton pulled a revolver from his pocket and told Toomey to stand back. Toomey made a step and Hamilton fired, but without waiting to see if Toomey was hit he went back to the house where he had been visiting Word was soon brought there that Toomey was dead, and then Hamilton hunted up the police and surrendered, saying that the shooting was in self defense. An autopsy showed that Toomey had been shot through the heart,

ed Colbert, and the fourth was a girl about ten years old.
 How the explosion occurred is as yet unknown. The west wall of No 1i2 occupied by Wagner's clothing store was blown out. All the buildings were of brick, three stories in height. In the confusion and excitement following the disaster it is as yet impossible to secure anything like an accurate state ment of the occupants. Coming as it did at the supper hour 1t is feared that the loss of life was heavy. The list of injured will be long. They were taken mile. After the recovery of the four bodies the authorities decided to post pone further search until tomorrow morning, thus avoiding the danger of working upon the debris in the dark ness.
 Shettenstein and his son were picked upon the steps of No. IA. The unidenti- fled girl was found in a mass of tim bers. The injured are: J. l.. Shatten- stein, aged twelve, broken nose and laceration of the scalp. Alexander Shattenstein, aged six, lacerated scalp; condition serious. Mary Nealy, aged sixty-five, fractured leg; Annie Mo- Philomeny, forty years, confusion of ankle. At the Jefferson hospital are A. F.

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING GO.
SITUATION IN SANTIAGO.
Observance of Sunday-Cruiser Teresa
 Nearly Ready to Float.

Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 11.-Sunday was observed to-day, for the first time since the war terminated, as a day of rest and worship. All the military and civil offices were closed, as were also the shops; and the city's appearance was unusually quiet. Religious ser- vices were held at the palace and Gen eral Lawton, General Wood and other American officers attended. This af- ternoon the correspondent of the Asso- ciated Press visited the wrecks of the Spanish cruisers. The work of floating the Infanta Maria Teresa is nearly complete, but the Almirante Oquendo is not worth the cost of saving.
 Colonel Ray, who returned from Gu antanamo yesterday, reports the en- barkation of all the Spaniards save about eighty under General Pareja. The American authorities are awaiting the arrival of the San Juan with about two thousand Spanish troops from Sag ua de Tamyoma and Baracoa. The steamer is expected on Wednesday. The Spaniards will be re-embarked here on the San Augustin and the San Fran cisco for Spain. Tomorrow the Bessie and two other vessels will leave for Saguay, carrying supplies for the Americans and Cubans. The condition of the Spanish at Guantanamo prior to their departure for Spain was Colonel Ray says, most distressing. The death rate was over eighty per day, and Colo nel Ray believes that more than half will die on the passage. Seventy died on the wharf the day the San Ignacio was loaded, and there is yellow fever among those who remain behind.
 Colonel Ray had two mules killed for fresh meat supplies for the Spaniards. No fresh beef was to be had and the Spaniards were glad to get the mule meat. Indeed there has been no meat of any kind in Guantaamo for three weeks. Four hundred Cubans have laid down their arms at Guantanamo and gone to work on the plantations near the town No rations are supplied to armed Cubans. Santiago is now filled with Cuban soldiers from General Cas- tillo's command. One result is a large number of gala parties at the various clubs.
