VIENNA, July 3-Even death the
ieveller today proved Dowerless to
break the iron rank distinctions Of
the Austrian court The royal birth
Of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was
emphasized over that of the Countess
OF Hohenherg, his inorganic wife, as
the bodies of the two victims of as
sassin's bullets lay in state here in
the little chapel OF the Palace of Hof-
burg.
High OF black catafalques, the
caskets OF the dead heir to the Haps-
burg throne and his wife lowered in
the little chapel But the archduke's
body lay in a golden coffin while that
Of his lifes partner was silver gray.
And the remains of royalty were
raised ono step higher than those Of
the woman who gave him her love
and life, WHO bore his children and
whose hands staunched the blood
which poured forth TO the shot Of
the assassin while her own life eb-
bed to another leaden call.
Every circumstance which rank and
power could supply added to the
solemnity Of the scene in the death
chapel Mobiles OF the produest em-
pre OF Europe we're ca guard be-
side the eatafalques which were
shouded by the richest OF fabrics.
Jlittering steel flashed in all the
courts Of the ancient palace and rep
Austrian house which 3Wed fealty to
the line OF Franz Ferdinand, trooped
ii and out of the little chapel. In
the whole district about the palace
funeral bells tolled and great throngs
OF the populace, held in check by SER
ried lines of halberdiers and cuiras-
siers, watched the procession oil
notables pass to visit the remains OF
the man who was to have worn the
double crown of Austria-Hungary.
In the chapel, the sanetuary's re.
ligious gloom was barely lighteneC
by the fare of huge waxen candles
which burned on each side of the cas-.
kets Beside them stood a guard o.
honor Of officers from the crack regi
ments of the army. All was stillnes,
within and from the outside only th,
dull murmur of the thousands pene
trated family as they shuffled on tn,
pavements awaiting their opportunity
TO look their last on the mortal rem
nant of the man who was TO hay,
been their emperor.
Emperor Francis Joseph lett hi

and visited the Hofburg Chapel wheri
the bodies of his heir and the Coun
tess Of Hohenburg lay
Throughout the city today there wa
considerable indignation against tn
court officials that the funeral of tn
Arehduke was comparatively incon
spicuous, admission to the casket
being limited, in great part, to tn
mobiles. the officers of the army an
10 officials Of the government. FEY
Of the common people were permitte
within the line.
To the irritation OF the public owe
the funeral arrangements was added dc
testation OF the archduke's assassin
and the conviction that Russian an
Servian intrigues in Bosnia had led I
the crime. In several quarters OF tn
city at midnight. students led in anti
Russian and anti-Servian dcmonstrs
tions and today the legations OF bot
countries were under strong militar
guard.
Tho bodies OF the archdulSo and hi
countess will be taken tonight for bul
