sombre record of the house of Hans.
burg To the mystery Of Meyerling.
the disappearance Of JOHN ORTIZ. the
cruel taking on of the Empress ELIZA.
BETH. succeeds the crime by which the
Archduke FRANCIS FERDINAND and his
wife died yesterday AZ Sarajevo.
II still lacks more than a month II
twenty-five years since the Emperor
FRANCIS JOSEPH was stricken by the
death Of his only son and heir. Prince
RUDOLPH. The intervening years have
brought succession Of crushing blows
10 his family affection and pride in
which death has alternated with scan.
dal almost as hard To bear. Now dis.
aster strikes him once more, removing
for the second time under appalling
circumstances his natural successor. TO
whom in his aged feeb,cness he had
recently confidel many Of the cares and
burdens Of the imperial crown.
Strange In say, the removal Of the
Archhukc FRANCIS FERDINAND may
cause u certain relaxation in the poll
tics both ~ Ausiria-Iiungary and OF
Europe. His proximate elevation 10
the throne on his uncle's death was re-
gardcd as bodlng trouble both NJ home
and abroad. His marriage TO the Coun-
tess CHoTEK. Of non-regal Lineage, and
the birth Of two sons threatened a com
plication in the succession, at least in
Hungary. II il true that at the time
OF his marriage he swore solemnly
never to claim the throne for any issue
Of the union, but 1t has always been
believed that he would seek to evnde
the obligation when he grasped the
refns Of power, and 1t Is said that
nothing in the Hungarian traditions or
constitution would prohibit his sons
from following him upon that throne
at least. His death. Of course. eliml
mates this possible complication. His
rights will now descend unquestoned
to his dead brothers son, Archduke
CHARLES FRANCIS JosErH. popular
Young Prince. who has always been
technically regarded as second heir
and also has n son to succeed him.
In international politics FRANCIS
FERDINAND had long been regarded a.
n man Of dangerous ambitions. A
close ally Of the German Kaiser. 1t had
been feared that his ascent to rulershiT
would mean new Outburst of pan
Germansm which would disturb ths
balance Of Europe and wreck the Ions
preserved peace. His death removes
this peril. The new heir, though n
bright personality and n competent
soldier. is not credited with any over
wecning ideas Of Austrian supremacy.
The Emperor FRANCIS JOSEPH, an
able and patriotic ruler, a devoted ser
want Of his people. will have the deer
felt sympathy Of the world in the new
misfortune that comes To him. II
may hardly be that in his frall condi
ton he can long survive the shock. All
that can he hoped is that the next
reign will bring to Austria as much
peace aud prosperity as the one now
waning to It's close.
