EMPEROR'S REPLY.
Francis Joseph Answers Address of
the Delegations.

Buda Pest, Hungary, May As in
the past, SO in the future. the constant
endeavor of my government will be di-
rected to fostering close relations with
our allies. as we'll as feelings of conf
dence with all other powers, thus con-
tributing to the maintenance and con-
solidation of European peace
This was the most interesting passage
from a general, international view point.
in the reply of Emperor Francis Joseph
to the address of the delegations of Aus
tria- Hungary, at the reception held in
the castle this morning. at Buda.
The en- peror also made a brief but
important reference to the Balkan situ-
alton. saying: Our unvarying and
friendly understanding with the Russian
empire concerning events in the near
east is eonduciveato the continued main
tenance of order and tranuiAity in
those regions"
He remarked that since the last SEES
sion of the delegations the general po-
litical situation had in no way under
gone any material change. He paid 4
tribute to the AustfO-Hungarian forces
employed in the China expedition and
referred to the necessity for increased
expenditure for the artillery, for improv-
ing the naval stations, and for "dispen-
sable increases in the personnel of the
fleet and the construction of ships.
The address of the delegations alluded
to continued preservation of peace and
the increased prestige of the dual mon
archy in the councils of Europe as
largely due to the veneration in which
the emperor-king is held by all, and
promised full consideration of the in
creased demands Tor the army and of
the expenditure required for the devel-
opment of internal industry and agri-
culture, and for fostering foreign trade
relations. so as to enable Austro-Hun-
gary to compete with the nations of the
world.
The delegations address also empha-
sized the fact that complete success in
this direction largely depends on a
strong and lasting union of the econo-
mic forces of the two halves of the dual

FELL THREE STORIES.
John Evarts, Book Binder,
Has a Frightful Fall.

John Evarts, bookbinder in the en-
ploy of Crane & Co. fell from win
dow in the bindery department on the
third floor of the Crane building to the
pavement in the areaway in the rear Of
the building shortly after 10 O'Clock this

Evarts' almost lffeless body was
picked up by his fellow workmen. An
ambulance was summoned and he was
leaning out of the window cleaning the
outside of the glass when the accident
occurred. No one saw him when he
struck the bottom. Tt is believed. how
ever that the force of the shock was
diminished by his falling on the slant

dry buffalo dung, they found the
night blast piercing cold. On one
occasion, a herd of buffalo straying
near their evening camp, they killed
three of them merely for their hides,
wherewith to make shelter for the
night.
"They continued on for upwards
of u hundred miles; with vast
prairies extending before them as
they advanced sometimes diversified
by undulating hills, but destitute of
trees. in one place they saw gang
of sixty-five wild horses, but as to
the buffaloes, they seemed absolutely
to cover the country. Wild geese
abounded, anu they passed extensive
swamps that were alive with in
Vulnerable focks of waterfowl, among
which were few swans, but all end
less variety of ducks.
"The river continued winding
course to the east-northeast, nearly
mile in width. but too shallow to
float even all empty canoe. The
country spread out in vast level
plain, bounded by the horizon alone,
ex Jepting to the north, where line
of hills seemed like long promon-
tory stretching into the bosom of the
ocean. The dreary sameness of the
prairie wastes began to grow ex-
tremely irksome. The travellers
longed for the sight of forest, or
grove, or single tree, to break the
level uniformity, and began to notice
every object, that gave reason to
hope they were drawing towards the
end of this weary wilderness. Thus
the occurrence of particular kind
of grass was hailed as a proof that
they could not be far from the bot
toms of the Missouri and they were
rejoiced at putting up several prairie
hens, kind of grouse seldom found
far in the interior. In picking up
drift wood for fuel, also, they found
on some pieces the mark of an axe,
which caused much speculation as to
| the time Wnen ana the persons Dy
whom the trees had been felled.
Thus they went on, like sailors at
sea. who perceive in every floating
weed and wandering bird, harbingers
of the wishedfor land"
This, it should be noted, is the first
precise description OH record of the
interior of Nebraska and the valley
of the Platte.
"By the close of the month the
weather became very mild, and,
heavily burdened as they were, they
found the noontide temperature un-
comfortably warm. On the 3Oth,
they came to three deserted hunting
camps, either Of Pawnees or Ottoes,
about which were buffalo skulls in

once came to where the river thundered
down succession of precipices. throw
ing up clouds of spray, and making a
prodigious din and uproar. The travel
lers remained, for time, gazing with |
mingled awe and delight at this furious
cataract, to which Mr.. Stuart gave,
from the coloring of the impending
rocks, the name of "The Fiery Mar
rows"
The first chasm was probably the
DEVILS Gate on the Sweetwater, once a
famous landmark, now merely an Incl
dent of a ranchman's back pasture, and
damned for peaceful irrigation. The
second, Captain Chittenden says, was
the Upper Platte Canon. Here they
became totally lost. From the course of
the Platte at this point they concluded
that it could not be branch of that
river; they thought it must be the
Cheyenne or Niobrara, and they de-
cided to camp for the winter. Another
Indian scare dislodged them again,
however, and in the middle of Decem-
ber they moved a considerable distance
further down the North Platte. Com
ing into the range country about Deuel.
county, Nebraska, they were appalled,
at the emptiness of the landscape and
turned upstream again for three days,
when they pitched their final winter
camp; which Chittenden locates near
Wellesville, Cheyenne county.
"The winter passed away without
any Indian visitors, and the game con-
tinued to be plenty in the neighborhood.
They felled two large trees, and shaped
them into canoes; and, as the spring
opened, and thaw of several days
continuance melted the ice in the river,
they made every preparation for en-
barking. On the Sth of March they
launched forth in their canoes, but soon
found that the river had not depth suf-
ficient even for such slender barks. 1t
expanded into wide but extremely
shallow stream, with many sand-bars,
and occasionally various channels. They
got one of their canoes few miles down
it, with extreme difficulty, sometimes
wading, and dragging it over the shoals;
at length they had to abandon the at
tempt, and to resume their journey on
foot, aided by their faithful old pack
horse, who had recruited strength dur
ing the repose of the winter.
"The weather delayed them for
few days, having suddenly become
more rigorous than it had been at any
time during the winter; but OIL the
Goth of March they were again on
their journey.
In two days they arrived at the
vast naked prairie, the wintry aspect
of which had caused them, in De-

ern side of the mountain. The descent
was rugged and romantic, along deep
ravines and defiles, overhung with
crags and cliffs, among which they be.
held numbers of the ahsahta or bighorn,
skipping fearlessly from rock to rock.
Two of them they succeeded in bringing
down with their rifles, as they peered
fearlessly from the brow of their airy
precipices.
"Arrived at the foot of the mountain,
the travellers found rill of water
oozing out of the earth, and resembling
in look and taste the water of the Mis-
souri,. 1t was, in fact, the Sweet
water. Here they encamped for the
night, and supped sumptuously upon
their mountain mutton, which they
found in good condition and extremely
we'll tasted.
"The weather was now so severe, and
the hardships of travelling so great, that
he resolved to halt for the winter at the
first eligible place. That night they
had to encamp on the open prairie, near
scanty pool of water, and without any
wood to make fire. The northeast
wind blew keenly across the naked
waste, and they were fain to decamp
from their inhospitable bivouac before
the dawn.
X
'Late on the afternoon of the 3Oth,
they came to where the stream, now IN
creased to a considerable size, poured
along in ravine between precipices of
red stone two hundred feet in height.
For some distance it dashed along, over
huge masses of rock, with foaming vio-
lence, as if exasperated by being COM
pressed into so narrow channel, and
at length leaped down a chasm that
looked dark and frightful in the gather
ing twilight.
"For part of the next day, the wild
river, in its capricious wanderings, led
them through a variety of striking
scenes. At one time they would be
upon high plains, like platforms among
the mountains, with herds of buffaloes
roaming about them; at another, among
rude, rocky defles, broken into cliffs
and precipices, where the black tailed
deer bounded off among the crags, and
the bighorn basked on the SUI my brow
of the precipice.
"In the after part of the day, they
came to another scene, surprising in
savage grandeur those already de-
scribed. They had been travelling for
some distance through a pass of the
mountains, keeping parallel with the
river, as it roamed along, out of sight,
through deep ravine. Sometimes
