strike yesterday by appealing to em-

strike" drawn up by the commission

The appeal was sent to the president

was forwarded after the president had

ling. There have been dozen ver-7
sions of what occurred. One true
story" relates that the crown prince
was struck dead by Baltazzi, Hun
garian chevalier who loved the Bar
|oness Marie Vetsera, and who was
frenzied by finding the girl and Prince
Rudolf together in the castle of Meyer
ling, after the crown prince had given
his pledge not to see the girl again.
Another that the crown prince killed
the uncle of the young baroness when
he came to rescue her and that both
OF the young lovers afterward commit
ted suicide. The truth is not known.
Clouded in still deeper mystery, If
possible, was the disappearance that
same year of Francis Joseph,s favorite
nephew, the Archduke Johann Saliva
tor. Heir to the throne at the death
of Rudolf, he renounced all of his inn
pe.ial dignities and fed the country as
John Orth, captain Of the merchant
ship, never to be heard of again. The
next of kin. the Archduke Francis
Ferdinand, who became heir presump-
tive, added a further burden to his
|.uncle's heart by morganatic marriage
to Sophie, the countess of Chotek, by
whom he has had three children, no
one of which can. succeed to the throne.

these reverses weighed more heavily
upon the emperor's heart than the al
most recent tragedy at Geneva, when
the Empress Elizabeth, who had been
called the most beautiful woman in
Europe, was stabbed to death by mad
italian anarchist in 1898. True, she
long had been estranged from the en-
peror, but he had never ceased to re-
spect and adore her. When courier
brought him the news of the crime he
exclaimed, ALAS, nothing can be SPAR
ed me. nothing.
After each blow he renewed his de-
j votion to the state, his only solace
being in harder work. He labored
prodigiousIy. He was beloved for his
kindness, his modesty, and rectitude,
and his high moral courage made 1t
possible for him to hold in leash the
Czechs, the Poles, the Serbs, the
Ruthenians and the Bulgars, who made
up the mosaic of nationalities in his
dual empire
Gossip dealt plentifully with his
| private life, filed with romance and
misfortune. It is related that his
mother intended him to carry Princess
Helena, eldest daughter of Duke Max
of Bavaria. With passive indifference
the young emperor agreed to his
mothers Wishes and set out to pay
court to his intended bride. He got
no further than the park surrounding
the Dukes castle, where he spied a
little girl whose extraordinary beauty
attracted him.
He learned that she was Princess
Elizabeth, younger sister of his in
tended. He resolved that Elizabeth
should be his bride and so she became
in 1854.
In addition to her beauty Elizabeth
was highly endowed with talents, but
she found no welcome at court. The
emperor's mother would hardly count
enance the match, and all Of the Wen
nese aristocracy held aloof from her.
Elizabeth returned scorn for scorn.
Her enemies bore her every tale that
could wound her pride and estrange
her love. At least they succeeded. In
burst of pique she fed to her native
Bavaria. She came back, but the
viennese never forgave her. They
charged her with loving fox hunting

tie difficulties. a commission OF three
men named by the president shall step
in and act as the final referee OF all

Under the agreement the claim for
