Emperor Is Greeted by
Cheer as He Arrives
at Station From Ischl


Vienna. Austria, June 29.-From all
parts of the dual monarchy as we'll as
from most foreign countries messages
poured in to-day testifying to the pro-
foundly painful impression produced
throughout the world by the assassi-
nation of Archduke Francis Ferdi-
nand. heir to the Austro- Hungarian
throne. and his consort, the Duchess
OF Hohenberg.
The newspapers pay the warmest
tributes to the late archduke and his
wife and reflect the sorrow and sym
pathy evoked among all classes by
their death.
When the old emperor arrived at
suburban station from Ischl at IL
o'clock this morning he was greeted
with cheers by large crowds. His Ma
jesty drove in an open carriage to
Schoenbrun castle, accompanied by
full staff of brilliantly uniformed off,
GERS. He appeared to be in the best
of health. He was received at the pal
ace by the Archduke Charles Francis
Joseph, new heir apparent to the
throne.
General expression was given by the
press to-day to the conviction that the
peoples of the dual monarchy would
rally round the person of the ven-
cradle emperor.
The opinion has gained ground in
authoritative circles here that the
future of Austria Hungary now more
than ever depends upon the health of
the venerable Emperor Francis Joseph.
1t was pointed out in high political
circles that If the emperor is per-
mitted to reign only few years more
everything may continue as usual and
Archduke Francis Ferdinands death
will have little lasting material effect
upon the foreign or domestic affairs
OF the dual monarchy.
1t was argued that should a success
full and inexperienced ruler like the
Archduke Charles Francis Joseph. son
of the late Archduke Otto, suddenly be
called on to take the reins of govern
ment a period of anxiety might super
vene.
The young archduke and his wife,
who was Princess Zita of Parma. are
both extremely popular among all
classes of society.
The suggestion put forward in some
quarters that Archduke Francis Ferdi-
nand's death is likely to cause a po-
litical upheaval is said to have little
real foundation.
Archduke Charles Fra ncis Joseph,
although he has no experience in
statecraft, possesses the happy faculty
OF getting on well with everybody. In
view of the exalted position he was
one day expected to occupy the new
heir presumptive was given a sound
and careful education. After his pre-
liminary schooling he attended classes
at the classical school conducted by
the Benedictine monks, who came
originally from Scotland. and which is
the most liberal Catholic seminary in
Austria. Here the young archduke
mingled freely with the sons Of pro-
fessional and business men who form
the best and most solid class In the
Vienna community.
In addition to his school education
the young archduke was thoroughly
coached by private tutors at home.
The archduke's wife. Princess Zita,
also Is an excellent linguist Since her
marriage she has learned the Hun
garian language at the special wish of
the emperor, who presented her with
the Hungarian library of the late EN-
press Elizabeth.
The bodies of the murdered couple
are expected to reach here tomorrow
and will be buried next week at Anstet-
ten, Upper Austria in accordance with
the late archduke's wish. Already the
city is draped in mourning.
