Vienna, Austriai, June 29.-The as.

Francis Ferdinand, the heir apparent,
at Sarajevo, is certain to have an i'm

The arch duke and his morganatic
wife, Duchess of Hohenberg, were
shot by Gavrio Prinzipi, a young Ser.
Wan student, while they were sitting
in an automobile, and both died i'm

Prinzipi was arrested, but remain

AN OLD SCHOOL POLITICIAN.
Sketch of the Late Frank Hiscock,
Who Was Twice Democrat.

Sketch of the Late Frank Hiscock,
Who Was Twice a Democrat.
The late Frank Hiscock was one of
the old school politicians who helped
to make famous the political history
Of the last quarter of the nineteenth
century.
Hiscock was natural politician. He
was born at Pompey. Onondaga coun-
ty. N. Y, seventy-nine years ago. He
got on good terms with Levi p. Nor
ton, James G.. Blaine, Roscoe Conkling,
David B. Hill, Chester A. Arthur.
Thomas C. Platt and many other inf1u-
entail men of both of the big parties.
After the free soil movement in 1856
that supported General Fremont Mr..
Hfscock became a Republican. When
Horace Greeley was nominated in 1872
Mr.. Hiscock went over to that side
and was nominated for congress by the
Liberal Republicans and Democrats Of
his district. But he failed of election.
and when the Greeley candidacy col
lapsed Mr.. Hiscock returned to the Re-
publican party. He finally reinstated
himself with the leaders OF the party
and in 1876 got the nomination for con-
gress and was elected.
In 1887, while he served In the house,
he was elected a United States sena-
tor and served on important commit
tees.

ANOTHER DELAY ON ACCOUNT

Washington, June 29.-Carranza5s
request for time to consult with the
constitutionalist military chiefs over
a conference with Huerta's delegates

The constitutionalist agents here
