MURDER OR SUICIDE !?
UNITED STATES SOLDIER FOUND HANGING
BY NECK NEAR LEAKSWILE.
Judge Adams Endeavoring to ConciIiate Settle :
Friends and Arrange Fusion Deal with
PopuIists. Loves Labor Vain.

Reidsville, n. c., Sept. 17.-(Special.) =
Judge Adams, Republican nominee for
Congress in this district, arrived in the
city to-day and at once had a conference
with the Republican bosses.
The object of his visit here is said to
be to inspire warmth and enthusiasm
among Settles friends, who are very sore
over Settles defeat; also taking a hand
in fixing up fusion deal between the
Republicans and populists.
The Populists hold their county CON
vcntion on the Goth inst, and Judge
Adams is bending all his energies to get
them to endorse him. This the POpulisr
convention will probably 90, but the rank
and file of the party, especially those
who were former Democrats, will not
support him, nor will they support n
Rep. Pop fusion county ticket.
A United States soldier named Humid
ley, was found hanging by the neck on
the Barnes place, near Leaksyille, this
morning. He had been dead several
hours.
It is not known whether he committed
suicide or was hung by unknown parties.

and the Empress of Germany deposited
on the casket containing the remains of
the late Empress of Austria, a floral
wreath which His Majesty had brought
from Germany. The Emperor dined at
the German Embassy after the funeral
and started for Berlin this evening.
The aspect of this city to-day was more
sombre than upon any day of the
mourning. Hardly a house was without
black drapery, and the entire populace
seemed to have poured out into the
streets. The streets lamps were all
alight. shining dimly throught coverings
of Grape.
Great torches threw glaring flames
over the Royal Chapel in which the re-
mains of the late Empress have lain in
state since yesterday morning. The
doors of the chapel were closed at noon,
thus barring out thousands of people
who were anxious to see the casket.
At four o'clock the tolling Of the bells
announced the starting of the procession.
The most imposing feature of the pro-
cession was several companies of the foot
guards and squadron of the horse
guards, followed by a detachment of
yeomen all georgously uniformed. This
preceded the cossal eight-horsed funeral
car. On either side were four footmen
and four pages with lighted tapers; but.
the immediate escort of the car was
composed of six stalwart gentlemen of
the archer guard, eight yeomcn,
six Hungarian life guards and eight
mounted life guards. Following the car
were several bodies of infantry and
cavalry.
A large number of priests in full

a commission who, without fear or fa-
vor, would probe to the bottom the
charges made by newspapers and indi

tegrity of officers of the army, and give
to the country the facts. The Secretary
of War had asked for an investigation
and the President thought it due to all
concerned that it be made at once by Il

and ability there could be no question.
Under these circumstances Mr.. Howell

gladly accept the appointment, as he
regarded it a duty which no citizen
should eyade
The only purpose of the President in
securing. if possible, nine-tenths Of the
commission, is to tighten the labor of the
individual members If, however, the
President is unable to secure the services
o nine members he will proceed with
seven He expects the commission will
be completed within the next few days.
The gentlemen who already have accept
ed or who, it is confidently expected, will
consent TO serve are Col. Sexton, Gen.
Dodge. Mr. Menby. Mr.. Howell Mr..
Gilman and DIR. Keene.
AS to the power of the commission to
compel officers and others to testify as
TO facts within their knowledge, the
President assured Mr. Howell that if the
commission met with any difficulty in
that regard, which, however, he did not
expect, he, the President, would know
the reason why.
After n half hours conference with
the President to-day General Schofield
announced that he would not serve as Il
member of the commission.

that the body will be sent back
to this city without delay and buried by

oUTCRY AGAINST ANARCHISTS.

Berlin September 1.-THE assassina-
ton of the Empress of Austria at Ge-
neva. Switzerland, on Saturday last, by
an Italian anarchist has led to n violent
outcry in some of the reactionary organs
for repressive measures against anar-
chists.
Diplomatic circles win not be surprised
if Russia and Austria set on foot pro-
posals for international action against
anarchists, in which Germany will prob
ably join; but, they consider it extremely
doubtful whether Great Britain, the
United States and Switzerland will CO.
operate.
The Deutsche Zeituns suggests that
all the European governments agree to
deport confessed anarchists TO a far
away island and keep them there until
