HAD PREMONITI0NS THAT
 HER END WAS NEAR
Became a Changed Woman Since the Suicide of Her Son
 Rudolph.

Of late Empress Elizabeth had fallen upon the idea that her end was near and that she would soon die. Since the death of her son Rudolph she has built memorial chapels and monuments throughout the empire, and these she visited from time to time as the fancy seized her.
 Her latest employment in this line was to arrange for her final resting place at great expense. She had built at Corfu. upon plans approved by her self, magnificent villa, and had chris tened 1t "L'Achilleion." To her will she added a codicil in which she said T wish to be inferred at Corfu. near the sea, 50 that the waters can con- tinually break on my tomb"
 Empress Elizabeth was the daughter of Maximilian Joseph. Duke of Bavaria She was born December "A. 1887, and welded the Emperor in 1854.
 For five years. since the tragic sui-

PARIS, Sept 1.-The Figaro pub fishes this morning the following from Geneva The Tribune de Geneva pub lished an interview with M. Teisset, a merchant member of the Chamber of Commerce at Clermont- t-Ferrand, who was an eyewitness of the death scene of the Empress Elizabeth of Austria Accompanied by party he went on board the steamer at Geneva at 20 minutes to 2 o'clock p. m.
 He was exchanging a few words with the captain on deck when lady came forward, walking with difficult ty and supported by another lady. M. Teisset, without knowing who the lady was, took her in his arms, carried her across the deck and seated her on bench. The lady then opened her eyes and gave him a look of grati- tude M. Teisset left the boat and re- turned to the Hotel Beaurivage. A short time afterward messengers came up shouting that the steamer had re- turned and misfortune happened. M. Teisset ran to ask Dr. Golay to go to the landing stage as his services would probably be required. Captain Roux had already given all attention to the Empress, who was accompanied only by one lady in waiting and a servant.
 Gebel, the pilot of the boat, had cut the stays of the Empress and found a very small wound only one centimeter In width above the left breast from which issued only two or three drops of blood.
 The lady in waiting asked the Elm. press, who for moment regained con sciousness, Are you suffering?"
 The reply was "No."
 Captain Roux then brought the yes sel aroupd and made straight for the landing place. Gebel had litter all ready prepared of two bars, four camp stools and velvet cushions. The Elm press was laid upon it and carried to the Hotel Beaurivage by Captain Roux, M Teisset and two of the crew.
 M. Teisset carried her Majesty in his arms up the stairs to her apartment on the first floor, which she had just left, and laid her on bed.
 Dr. Golay assisted by M. Teisset and the lady in waiting, and also by nurse who was in the hotel, rapidly undressed her Majesty and endeavored to induce artificial respiration by friction and the application of eau de cologne and vinegar.
 All efforts, however, were in vain.. Golay sent for Dr. Mayer, who has tened to the hotel at the request of the lady in waiting. A slight incision was made in the patients right wrist. but all was over in short time. | Before her Majesty's death par ish priest had come and administered extreme junction. Everything possible, humanly speaking, was done. The | body was laid out by Mime. Mayer. M. Teisset believes the Empress breathed her last at the moment he laid her head on the bed. When her Majesty's death was announced all present knelt down in prayer. The murderer has finally given some explanation regarding the crime. He says he came to Geneva to assassinate some high parsonage. and he added that he chiefly had in view the Due d. d'Orleans-probably Prince Henri-but he could not put his scheme into, .exe cution for reasons which he does not give. It was quite by chance that he heard that the Empress of Austria was in Geneva
The San Francisco call., 1898-09-11

The stretcher upon which the Elm press was carried to the hotel was hast fly improvised with oars and sail cloth. Doctors and priests were immediately summoned and a telegram was sent to Emperor Francis Joseph.
 All efforts to revive her Majesty were unavailing, and she expired at 3 o'clock The medical examination shows that the assassin must have used a small triangular file. The wound was just over the left breast. There was hardly any bleeding.
 After striking the blow he ran along the Rue des Apes, with the evident in tention of entering the Square Les Apes, but before reaching it he was seized by two cabmen who had wit messed the crime. They handed him over to a boatman and gendarme, who conveyed him to the police sta tion.
 The prisoner made no resistance. He even sang as he walked along; saying T did it, and She must be dead"
 At the police station he declared that he was starving anarchist, with no hatred for the poor but only for the rich"
 
 and interrogated by a magistrate in the presence of three members of the local government and the police off cials, he pretended not to know French. and refused to answer questions. The police, on searching him, found docu- ment showing his name to be Luigi Laochini, born in Paris in 1874, and an Italian soldier.
 A great crowd quickly assembled around the Hotel Beaurivage, where the officials proceeded after interrogat- ing the prisoner. The police searched the scene of the crime for the weapon and the accomplices of the assassin.
 It appears that a boatman noticed three persons closely following the Elm press, who was making purchases In the shops.
 The local government, immediately on receiving the news of her Majesty's death, half-masted the flag on the Hotel de Vile, the municipal office, and proceeded in a body to the Hotel Beau rivage as a token of respect. The shops on the Kursaal were closed.
 The assassin told the magistrate that he came to Geneva in order to assassi- nate 'another important person" but h; d been unable to execute the project. The reason of his failure he did not give. but he declared that it was only by accident he had learned of the pres ence of the Austrian Empress in Ge- neva.
 The assassin, on being interrogated bv the magistrate, said he came to Geneva with the intention of killing the Due d'Orleans, but the latter had already left. He followed the Due to Evian. about 25 miles north of Geneva, on the lake, where he was again un successful. He then returned to Gene va and learned of the arrival of the Ennnress. Yesterday he dogged her footsteps, but found no opportunity to carry out his purpose, though he watched the Hotel Beaurivage all day.
 This afternoon about half past 1 o'clock, he said, he saw the valet of the Empress leaving the hotel and going toward the landing. He inferred from this that the Empress was going to take the steamboat and he hid him. self behind a tree on the quay with the knife concealed in his right hand. In a few minutes the Empress, accompa- nied by her lady of honor, appeared and the assassin struck the knife home. He confessed that he has been an an-

maintained great coolness. When asked if she wished to return to the hotel she replied: No; he only struck me on the breast and doubtless wished to steal my watch.'
 The assassin. made a complete con- fession, adding that he regrets that the death penalty does not exist in the Canton where the tragedy occurred.
 The Geneva police believe that they are on the track of two accomplices of the assassin.

PARIS, Sept. 1.-The Figaro states that the weapon used by the assassin of the Empress of Austria was found in the lake. It was three-sided file, very slender and sharp. The postmor- tenn examination showed one almost imperceptible wound, the file having penetrated the heart and not causing exterior bleeding. The Empress, 1t seems, only supposed that she had re- ceived violent blow. At first she
