for the crime, and that is what we
are looking for. Do you happen to
know if your uncle had an enemy of
any sort?'
WILDLY shook his head thoughtfully.
81 can't think who it could be, if he
had one" he said. "On the contrary,

CHAPTER XIII.

Hendricks called a cab at the door
and drove to the office of Capt Welsh.
He found Welsh pacing the floor in a
fever of Impotence.
81 thought you would never turn up
in the world" said Welsh, as they took
seats. at seems to me that everything
is at standstill. The city is wild with
excitement and demanding that some
thing be done"
Hendricks shrugged his shoulders as
if he had only half heard the remark
and had been disturbed in some train of
| thought. He reached for a cigar in a
box on the captains desk, bit the end
of it, and then seemed to sink into a
reyerie again.
Welsh stared at him a moment in
yexation, then he said:
81 was on the watch myself at the
mayors last night. About ten O'Clock
l saw Mrs. Walters slip out on the lawn.
She came very cautiously from the
rear of the house. l saw her stoOp to
pickup something near where your UNI
brella was left, and then she returned
by the front door"
Hendricks nodded slowly, but did not
look up from the spot on the carpet
at which he had been staring for sew
eral minutes. Welsh flushed slightly
and went on awlwardly:
81 had expected to find out lot about
her early life from lady friend OF
mine, but, as bad luck will have it,
the lady has left the city for the sum
mer and 1 don't exactly know where
she has gone. was thinking of hunt
ing her up and going to see her, if you
! think"
Hendricks rose abruptly.
81 must write letter" he said. "Give
me some paper, please"
Welsh's face fell as he rose and drew
some writing materials from a drawer
and put them before the detective.
''Do you want me to cease my investi-
gations?" he asked, impatiently.
Hendricks dipped a pen in the ink
well, and as he did so he looked up and
caught sight of the captains face.
"Oh, hang it all, captain!" he said
pardon me; 1 have not heard half of
what you were saying. only caught
enough at the start to know that you
were not on the right track. Let the
woman alone for awhile. Do you re-
member l said that if discovered GER
tain things about mysterious
stranger in the city l should have to
begin all over again2'
yes, certainly, but"
Il have begun all over again" And
Hendricks began to write hurriedly.
Can help you in any way?"
81 am afraid not now, captain. A
little later, perhaps; but time is too val
liable just now for useless explana-
tions; every minute must count. This
is the hardest nut l ever tried to crack. -
Welsh said nothing further. He sank
into a chair and looked out of a win
dow till Hendricks had finished and
sealed his letter.
"Now," said the detective, as he rose
and grasped his hat, 81 am going out
for a little lunch, and then have an
] appointment. 1 shall see you later. -

THE BODY EMBALMED.
The Assassin Congratu1ates Him
self on His Crime

GENEVA. Sept 11.-No strangers are
allowed to approach the coffin of the
murdered Empress Elizabeth. The
body has been embalmed and is dressed
in white. The doctors photographed
the wound, but the plate will be de-
stroyed. 1t is understood that EN-
peror Francis Joseph will not leave
Austria, but will send high court Off
cials to take the body to Vienna. Flow
ers are arriving in profusion.
The assassin of Empress Elizabeth is
calm in demeanor, and frankly congrat-
ulates himself upon the success or his
crime. He says: 7 am an anarcg st,
but j belong to no committee. I acted
on my own initiative Let them do as
they like with me. That is my
strength"
Midnight-A file found late this even
ing in the passage of house on the
Rue de Alpes has been identified by the
assassin as the weapon used.
His name, though heretofore various
ly given and published here as Luc-
cheni, Luccesi and Lucchesi, is now
said to be Luigini.
The Italian records show that Luigini
was an illegitimate child and took his
mothers name. He has been twice ar
rested as a defaulter of the military
service.

AT $40 o'clock tonight a Sergeant
of police was talking with one o. his
men on the opposite side of the street,
when without a moments warning,
there was a terrific explosion which
almost instantly was followed by Il
great crash. Mingled with this We're
the cries of human beings. Without
loss of time one of the policemen struck
the fire alarm box near by, while the
other rang for ambulances.
The work of rescue was begun forth
with, but was temporarily abandoned
later when the twilight had deepened
into night. All the dead and injured
were in the buildings at the time of
the disaster, and as the walls collapsed
almost in a perpendicular direction,
no passers-by were injured By flying
debris.
None of the injured are expected to
die.

and CaYite.
They Hold 5000 Spanish Prisoners
and Capture Guns and Ammu-
nition-Aguina1do Makes I'm

Suburbs or Suffer the Conse-
tegrating.

LONDON, Sept. 12.-The Manila COR
respondent of the Times" telegraph
ing September 9th, says:
The insurgent conquest of the island
of Luzon is rapidly approaching COM
pletion Recent authentic reports an
nounce the capture of successive Span
ish positions, and at present the rebels
control every foot of the island except
Manila, Cavite and a small portion of
the province Of -41bay.
They hold over 5000 Spanish prison
ers, and have recently captured sew
eral thousand rifles. some cannon, a
large quantity of ammunition and sew
eral armed stands.
The Spaniards held out valorously,
but were fighting against the inev-
liable.
1t is undeniable that the action of
the insurgents in pursuing the cam
paign after an armistice is declared
has caused much useless suffering and
destruction Of property, and has ami
hilated their every claim to be con-
sidered in any respect as the allies of
America. Their motive has been two
fo1d-first, an implaca BILE hatred of the
Spanish, with an innate racial thirst
for revenge, and secondly, their wish
to place themselves on record before
the world as a successful revolution
airy Government and as complete
masters of the Luzon provinces and as
many adjacent islands as they may
have to occupy before the Philippine
question has been settled by the Paris
Commission
They are now free to withdraw their
troops to make an expedition against
Panay and to capture Iloilo. BY con-
tinuing the campaign now, regardless
of the armistice they put themselves
in the wrong with everybody, just as
by crowding into the suburbs Of Man
liza, and refusing to vacate the same
unless compelled to by superior force,
they have put themselves in the wrong
with the, Americans.
Their action is doubtless due partly
to a disordered organization of their
force, which, by their own confession,
consists of an aggregation of independ-
ent units, with chiefs, each ambitious
of power and distinction, and all strug-

for everybody booty, or otherwise pri-

Manila. The situation has been i'm
possible from the beginning. and con-
f1icts have been avoided only by great
tact and the extraordinary patience of
the American troops, who Loyalty OBJ
serve their duty of preserving the
peace of the town.
The policy of permitting the insur-
gents to occupy the Spanish positions
has been fruitful of many difficulties,
not the least Of which is the stimulus
given to the conceit of the natives, who
consider themselves the conquerors Of

The Emperor's Fortitude the Topic
of Universal Admirat1on-he
Bears Up Manfully, Despite the
Terrible Shock-Dispatches or
Coincidence Arriving From All
Parts of the World and the Ma
tion Mourns.

VIENNA, Sept 1.-THE plans for the
funeral of the late Empress Elizabeth,
who was assassinated by an anarchist
yesterday at Geneva, contemplate
bringing of the remains to Vienna next
Thursday. a lying in state on Friday
and the obsequies of interment on Sat
urday.
Every flag in the city is at half-mast
to-day, and the theaters. races and
other amusements are suspended indefl-
nitely. All the Archdukes and Arch
duchesses have arrived at Schoenbrunn.
1t was reported last evening that En-
peror Francis Joseph had gone to Ge-
neva by a special train, but this was an
error. At noon to-day he had not yet
left Schoenbrunn. Crown Princess
Stephanie, who has been staying at
Darmstadt, has been summoned.
The Emperor's fortitude is the topic
of universal admiration. He is bearing
up manfully, despite the terrible shock,
which. in view of his age, had inspired
the gravest apprehension, although al
first stunned and then slightly hysterl-
cal, he soon regained his self-control
and displayed remarkable calmness. Oc-
casionally, however, completely over
powered by his grief, he moaned pit
eously, repeatedly sobbing the name or
the Empress.
Addressing Prince Won Lfchtenstein,
Chief Marshal of the imperial house
hold. he exclaimed last evening: 1T is
inconceivable how a man could lift his
hand against one who never in her life
injured anyone, who did nothing but
good.
Nothing is spared to me in this
world"
He managed to sleep several hours
last night and said this morning he felt
comparatively well, discouraging the
attempts of his attendants to display
solicitude for his health.
The shock of the news crazed one of
theS~e9art@se servants, who rushed from
the palace of Buryplatz shrieking:
Where is the murderer of our EN-
press?"
Dispatches of coincidence are arriving
at the palace from all parts of the
world, testifying to the profound horror
and sympathy. Among them are mes
sages from President Mckinley, from
Emperor William and from nearly all
the European sovereigns. The court
viii go into mourning for six months.
