SWISS PEOPLE SHOCKED.
Deep Regret Expressed for the Act
of the Assassin.

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 it's profoundest grief
and deepest indignation at the horrible crime
TO which her majesty, Empress Elizabeth has
fallen a victim. Our pain and Indignation
are all the greater owing to the foul crime
having been committed on Swiss territory,
where the empress, as she had often done
before, was seemingly recovering from her
bodily suf1erings, which recovery as on pre-
vious occasions, she had every hope of find
Ing. The council hastens to assure your ma
iesty at the same time Of its warmest SYM
pathy, and that of the whole Swiss people,
IN the irreparable loss your majesty, the i'm
perial house and the people of Austria and
Hungary have suffered through your exalted
lady's death.
The council reassembled this after
noon to receive reports regarding the
crime and to consider the steps to he
taken. 1t Is expected that the judicial
authorities of the canton of Vaud will
conduct the inquiry and the trial
The Geneva cantonal government met
today and decided to issue g. proclama-
tion expressing the horror of the gov
eminent and people of Geneva and pro-
viding for a popular demonstration to-
morrow.
All the civil officers will march past
the Hotel Beauavidge, followed by the
citizens, all Of whom are invited to par
ticipate. During the procession the
great bell of the Catholic cathedral,
associated with all semi-national dem
onstrations of grief and Joy, will be
tolled.
Emperor Francis Joseph telegraphed
the Austrian minister to consent to a
Dost-mortem examination. DR.. Reuves
end Mayor Gollia, Of Geneva, were en-
trusted with the examination of the
wound, on behalf of the judicial au-
thorities, and accordingly proceeded to
the Hotel Beauavidge, where they car
ried out their Instructions At the
close Of the examination they declared
that death was caused by internal hem
orrhage from triangular-shaped

ALL EUROPE SHOCKED.
Masses in the Catholic Churches Or.
dered by the Pope.

Gered by the Pope.
LONDON, Sept. 1L-Special dis
patches from every European capital
describe the effect produced and quote
newspaper comments, that are full Of
indignation that a defenseIess woman,
unmixed with politics, but dignided
and good, should be selected at the
moment Of the approaching jubilee
for the assassin's knife.
Perhaps the most poignant grief is
displayed in Italy, because the pub
lie mind there is full Of shame that
SO many political assassins have been
Italians. King Humbert with his own
hand wrote a telegram expressing the
deepest sympathy. The pope wired
Emperor Francis Joseph as follows:
May God give the strength Of resignation
TO our dear son, Joseph, who In so short q
period has been tried by SO many misfor-
tunes. We pray that God may bestow upon
the house Of Hapsburg that peace and tran
GUILTY. which 1t merits By reason Of It's SEN
tments toward the church and the papacy.
The pope orders solemn masses 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 attend
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 be-
tween 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 fer
vent wish that the jubilee was safely
over. His brother, Archduke Ludwig
Victor, was dining at a restaurant
in the jubilee exhibition at Vienna
when the news OF the assassination
reached him. He hastened to Schoen-
brunn, 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, Arch
duchess Valeria, remains constantly at
his side

WESTMINSTER WIPED OUT.
Heavy Loss by Fire on the Fraser
River.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Sept. 11.-New
Westminster, the chief city on Fraser
river, presents a scene of desolation
tonight, fire having eaten out the whole
of the business portion. There Is not
a public building standing in the CEN
trail portion Of the town. Famed by
an immense wind, almost a gale, the
blaze, which started on the water side
by sparks from an approaching steam
er, spread with such a fearful rapidity
that ten streets were blazing in three
hours and only smoking ashes mark
the spots where formerly scores Of
houses stood.
Handsome business houses, banks
and blocks went up in smoke. Over
400 people are homeless, and help is
being rushed from this city. The two
newspaper offices are gone, as we'll as
the Canadian Pacific railway station,
a railway bridge and a number of pri-
vate houses. The telegraph office at
New Westminster has been burned
The burned city is twelve miles from
here. Returning from New Westmin-
ster to here Is coming from a land of
desolatlon into land Of smiling plenty.
In New Westminster not g stone Of
the business houses is standing. Food,
clothing and aid Of all kinds are being
dispatched from Vancouver to the III
fated city. At the time of writing II
Is not known how many people lost
their lives, but It is feared that several
must have been burned to death. It
is said that Campbell, a. fireman, fell
from the roof of g. burning building
and was killed, and woman dropped
dead from fright. Two other women
who were i'll died while being taken
from their homes

the Edgar, Gladys and Bon Air.
WITHOUT FOOD.
New Westminster does not possess a
store Of any kind, is without newspa-
pers. and without food, except that that
is being hurried over from here. It Is
impossible to estimate the amount of
damage, but it runs up into the hun
dreds Of thousands. Every industry ex-
| cept the big Royal City Planning mills
and Glove City Iron company have
been wiped out. Every manufactory
| and Office have been burned out Bank
| ers, merchants. Gamers and business
men Of all description have nothing
| left With which to begin business again.

Branchman & Kerr's warehouse on
Front street. From there it spread
down to the Canadian Pacific depot.
It did not cross the street until it
reached that spot. From there 1t went
UP the other side Of Front street and
UP Columbia street. the chief thor
oughfares of the city. Then block af-
ter block was licked up, until nothing
was left of the business portion of New
Westminster. From Columbia street
the fire spread up to the hill to a huge
bridge built over a gully on Carnhan
street. Under the bridge was a space
filed with dry timber. The fire con-
sumed it,
From this point the fire consumed
everything all around. The Episcopal
church was destroyed, then the Bap-
tist and the Methodist churches went
next. Here, too, large number of
residences were situated. They all
went up in smoke, and the inhabitants
had to flee for their lives The fire
swept down new Carnhan street, and
quickly encompassed the big court
house and wooden city hall. Fortu-
nately there is a big open space here,
and the flames were not able to leap
far enough to take in the big Central
school. Another street. however, had
got afire, and one side Of Royal avenue
was completely destroyed
The spread Of the fire may be partly
ascribed to the fact that the firemen
lost a large quantity Of hose in the
fire. There is not a single butchery,
bakery or provision shop that was not
destroyed, and there was only one
small hotel saved.
Some Of the burned-out people re-
tired in the early hours Of the morning
to the open front opposite the school
house. They covered themselves with
blankets and lay down to sleep. All
they had was lost.
The loss by the fire at New Westmin-
ster is roughly estimated at $3.50, 900,
with insurance of $15O,0O The London
Assurance company is said to be the
heaviest loser. The buildings on ten
streets are destroyed. The vaults Of
the bank buildings withstood the fire.

LIFE OF THE EMPRESS.
Her Career a Mixture OF Romance
and Tragedy.

VIENNA, Sept. 1.-THE empress of
Austria, daughter Of the Duke and
Duchess Macmillan Of Bavaria. was
married to Emperor Franz Josef April
2l, 1854. and their reign had been a long
and just one, although not always Of
peaceful or even happy character.
Romance and tragedy mingled strange
ly With their private and political life.
and many historical events are grouped
about the union of the houses of Ba-
varia and Hapsburg
The Princess Elizabeth was born In
1886 at the royal home Of her parents
in Munich. She grew up among sur
roundings far different from the court
scenes in which she was destined to
spend the later years of her life, and
the ways she had acquired in this SIM
pie and free country life never left her.
She had a sister, Princess Caroline,
three years her senior, who had been
promised as the wife of the young en-
peror, Franz Josef.
Kaiser Franz Josef was twenty-eight
years Of age when he succeeded to the
throne Of Austria, abdicated by Ferdi-
nand l.. his uncle. He was q popular
young AlOHdICnS dIlu IOllu OIL SpOTLS,
with decidedly martial instincts. He
entered into the duties of government
with zeal, and the year after his acces-
sion abolished the ancient constitution
Of Hungary. A successful war against
Italy followed. and having thus assur-
ed himself of his power he set out to
complete his accession by following the
wishes of his father, the Archdule
Charles. who, having married the Prin-
cess Sophie OF Bavaria, united with her
in arranging for the marriage Of the
young emperor to a Bavarlan princess.
The Duchess Caroline was chosen and
the emperor went to visit his lady at
the palace in Munich.
The duchess was a charming young
girl Of twenty, and quite capable Of
fascinating any man, but her younger
sister. Elizabeth, was one Of the most

VIENNA, Sept. 1.-THE planned fun
eral arrangements Of the late Empress
Elizabeth, who was assasslnated by an
anarchist yesterday, contemplate
bringing the remains to Vienna next
Thursday, a lying in state on Friday
and the interment on Saturday.
Every flag in the city is at half-mast
today, and the theateTs, races and
other amusements are suspended in

Archduchess Marie Valerie have ar
rived at Schoenbrunen. 1t was report
ed last evening that Emperor Francis
Joseph had gone to Geneva by q special
train. At noon today he had not yet
left Schoenbrunen. Crown Princess
Stephanie, who has been staying at
Dsrmstadt, has been summoned.
The emperors fOrtitude is the topic
Of universal admiration. He is bearing
up manfulIy, despite the terrible shock,
which, in view of his age, has inspired
the graYest apprehension. Although at
frst stunned and then slightly excited,
he soon regained his self-control and
displayed remarkable calmness. Oc-
cassionally, however, completely over
powered by agitation, he moaned pite-
ously, repeatedly sobbing the name Of
the empress.
Addressing Prince Won Leccthstein,
chief marshal of the imperial house
hold, he exclaimed last evening: at Is
inCOnceivable how a man could lift his
hand against one who never in her life

Took a Bath,

Fred McCabc has written Il letter
home from Santiago telling of his eX-
periences in the battles before that city.
but as the main points of the letter have
been covered by those already published,
only a few extracts are taken from it, as
follows:
son the morning of July %, | went
down to the creek and had a good wash,
something very rare among the boys.
All | have in the clothing line is one
suit of underwear, one blue shirt, one
pair of trousers, one pair of socks and
a pair of shoes. Everything else was
laid aside when | went into battle and
was stolen. Many of the men are much
worse off than | m We expect new
clothing in the morning.
"Hiram LowitZki is with the pack
train, and have not seen him for over a
week. w. Z. Dame was promoted some
days ago to I'd lieutenant in some other
company, and we now have a new lst ser
geant. Colonel Wood has been appointed
governor general of the province OF San
tiago de Cuba. Captain Luna is his in
terpreter, and Will Griffin is II of hi
secretaries. They are all in the city o
Santiago. Captain Muller was in town
Yesterday and says he does not like thu
place, and was glad to get out of it, az
it is full of mosquitoes and there is moth
ing to eat there. The Spaniards seen
to be glad that the Americans have
taken the place since they are fed b.
the United States. They had had n
bread for fully a month, and are read.
to trade anything they have for some
thing to eat.
IF there was any fighting done it wa
by the Rough Riders and the lott
cavalry, colored. They were with us
would fight with no II else, and the,
are fighters, too"
Fred is now at Montauk Point wit
the regiment, and Judging from the ton
of the letters that have been receive
from different members of the ''Roug
Riders" the boys are rejoiced to &C
back to the United States.
