Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 11. The ISmpress of Austria was assassinated .near a pier here yesterday afternoon by an anarchist named Lucchoui, who was arrested, lie stabbed the empress with some small, keen weapon. The empress was walking' from the hotel to the landing place of theateam er at about 1 o'clock when the an archist suddenly approached and slabbed her near the heart. The em press fell, got up again and was car Tied to tiie steamer unconscious. The boat started, but seeing that the mpress had not recovered conscious ness the captain returned and the em press was carried to the Hotel Ueau Tivagv, where she expired. The stretcher upon which the em press Avar- carried to the hotel was hastily improvised with oars anil sail -cloth. Doctors and priests were imme--tiiatcly summoned and a telegram was sent to Emperor Francis Joseph. All efforts to revive her majesty were una vailing and she expired at 3 o'clock. The medical examination showed 1hat the assassin must have used a ikeen stiletto or small triangular file. After striking the Mow he ran along the Rue des Allies, with the evident intention of entering the Square des Alpes. but before reaching it he was seized by two cabmen who hail wit nessed the crime. They handed him over to a boatman and a gendarme, vim conveyed him to the police sta tion. Tlan for the Funeral. Vienna. Sept. 1C.

Every flag in the city is at half mast to-day and the theatres, races and other amusements are suspended indefinitely. All the archdukes and the Arch duchess Marie Valerie have arrived at Schocnbrunn. It was reported Satur day evening that Emperor Francis Joseph had gone to Geneva by a spe cial train, but this was an error. At noon yesterday he had not yet left .Schocnbrunn. Crown I'rincess Stephanie, who has "been staying at Darmstadt, has been summoned. The Kmperor's Fortltntle. The emperor's fortitude is the topic of universal admiration. He is bear ing up manfully despite the terrible shock, which, in view of his age, had inspired the gravest apprehension. Al though at first stunned and then slightly hysterical, he soon regained his self-control and displayed remark able calmness. Occasionally, however, completely over-powered by his grief, tie moantd piteously, repeatedly sob bing the name of the empress. Inconceivable lleartlessuess. Addressing Trinee Von Liechten stein, chief marshal of the imperial household, he exclaimed last evening: "It is :nconceivabIe how a man could lift his hand against one who never in her life injured anybody, one who did nothing but good." Then he moaned. "Nothing is spared to me in this world." He managed to sleep several hours Saturday night, and said yesterday morning that he felt comparatively Veil, discouraging the attempts of his r.ttendants to display solicitude for his fcealth. A Conrt Servant Crazed hy the News. The shock of the tews crazed one of the court servants, who rushed from the palace to Ruryplatz, shrieking: 'Where is the murderer of our em press?" Dispatches of condolence are arriv ing at the palace from all parts of the world, testifying to profound horror and sympathy. Among them are mes sages from President McKinley, from Kmperor William and from nearly all the European sovereigns. The court will go into mourning for six months.

CoL James A. Seiton, of Chicago, Chose) Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic Cincinnati, Sept 9. Col. Jame A. Sexton, of Chicago, has been elected commander-in-chief of the G. A. It., receiving 424 votes against 241 for A. D. Shaw, of New York. Xo other names were presented. COL. JAMES A. SEXTON. Col. James A. Sexton, of Chicago, the new commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., was born in Chicago, January 5, 1S44. When Lincoln, in 1SG1, issued the call for 75,000 volunteers, Col. Sex ton enlisted, on April 19, 1S01, as a private soldier. He was then only 17 years old. After three months' serv ice he re-enlisted in the Sixty-seventh Illinois volunteer infantry, and was commissioned a first lieutenant. He was later transferred to the Seventy second Illinois volunteers, and was made captain of Company D. He I served in Ransom's brigade, McAr- thur's division, Seventeenth army corps, of the army of Tennessee, and participated in its campaigns, sieges and battles. As a regimental commander, he ! fought his regiment in the battles of Columbia, Duck River, Spring Hill, Franklin and Nashville, and through out the Nashville campaign. In 1S65 lie was on the staff of Maj.-Gen. A. J. Smith, the commander of the Six teenth army corps, and remained with Smith until the end of the war. At the assault and capture of the fort at Mobile, April IS, 1SC5, his left leg was broken below the knee, being struck by a piece of shell. He was wounded at the battle of Franklin, and at the battle of Nashville. After the war he remained two years in Alabama, owning a planta tion near Montgomery. In ISO" he re turned to Chicago and founded the firm of J. A. & T. S. Sexton. In 1872, after the Chicago fire, this firm was succeeded by Gribben & Co., and is still manufacturing stoves, hollow ware, etc. Col. Sexton has been a prosperous and nn active citizen in every move ment for the public. President Har rison made him postmaster of Chicago in April, 1SS9. Col. Sexton gave him self up to his duties as postmaster. and did much to make the olhce a ! well-managed public concern. The World's fair was held during his term. He is an active worker in the G. A. R., the military order of the Loyal Legion, and other soldier and army so cieties. He is a past commander of the department of Illinois, G. A. R. At the present time he is president of the board of trustees of the Illinois state soldiers' home at Quincy. He has been j a presidential elector, a Lincoln park commissioner, a coionei in me Illinois national guard, and has held several positions of honor and responsibility in the state. The National Encampment Proper. There were about 1,200 national del egates present when the encampment proper was called to order at Music j hall at 10 a. in., with Charles Wentzel i as officer of the day. The welcome ad ! dress was delivered by Gov. llushnell of Ohio with a supplemental welcome address by Mayor Tafel of Cincinnati and by M. E. lngalls, chairman of the citizens' committee, and president of the Ilig Four and Chesapeake & Ohio railways. There was excellent music for the opening session, and the hall was elaborately decorated. In his response Commander-in-Chief Gobin referred most eloquently to the attractions of the week and the lavish entertainment of the citizens of Cin cinnati. rn. Collin's Tresent. Gen. Gobin wore a fine gold watch and chain that had been presented him, at the camp fire Wednesday night, by his old comrades of the Forty-seventh Pennsylvania regiment, and on the assembling of the encamp ment he was presented with a fine gavel made of historic timber. The encampment will have much work in considering the proposed re vision of the ritual and also in consid ering propositions for amalgamation. Sentiment In Favor of lllne and (.ray Meet Ins; Together. There is more sentiment in favor of uniting those who fought on different sides in the same war, and a resolu tion will be offered inviting the con federate veterans to meet with G. A. R. next year. The Missouri delegation will likely present the resolution, as that state was about equally divided during the civil war. If no joint en campment is arranged it is proposed to have fraternal delegates sent from one encampment to the other. Accidents to Veterans. Cincinnati, Sept. 9. While mount ing his horse for the G. A. R. parade, Wednesday, Charles A. Partridge, ad jutant of the Illinois department, slipped and fell, severely straining the tendons of his ankle. He viewed the parade from his hotel.

NEARLY ALL OF IT WENT TO THE ARMY, almost Three Hundred and Seventy-Five Bullions Spent In an Endeavor to Main tain Authority In Cuba She Has, He sides Lost all Her Navy, and Has Only a Kemnant of Her Honor to Show fur tho Expenditure. Washington, Sept. 13. Aside from the loss of her colonics and the ships destroyed in battle, the war has cost Spain about $74,800,000. Information to this effect has been received at the navy department froai the naval at taches of this iroveriiment abroad. In cluding the cost of preparation in an ticipation of the war begun by Spain in May, 193, these sums have been raised and expended: Iloiv tiie Money was liaised. From the sale of o22,944Cuban notes. From the sale of 00,000 Cuban notes of ISM"., ?.j.7s4,8y7. Loan of 400,0uo,0i;0 pesetas on the cus toms guarantee, $74,400,000. From the sale of silver, etc., iSu,333. Loan of the Rank of Spain on the Cuban guarantee, $.".8,400,000. Loan of the Hank of Spain on tha :ustoms guarantee, $48,200,000. Loan of the Rank of SpM'n on guar antee of contributions, $:)2,000,000. Loan of Rank of Spain, 4 per cent internal debt, $29,000,000. Philippine taxes, $37,0:1,000. These sums do not include debts for transports, etc., contracted by the gov ernment, which are placed at approx imately $02,000,000. Nearly All Went to the Army. According to the information in Hit possession of the department, all the money obtained has been expended on expeditions sent to the colonies, whose total amounted to 1S0.431 soldiers, 6, 2L'2 officers and about 70 generals. Of the millions expended only $.", tOO.OOO was spent by the Spanish gov ernment to increase its naval force. El Mundo, of Spain, commenting up on this small appropriation for the navy, wnen such a large sum was ex pended for the army, points out that this sum was su'lieient to have bought and maintained a battleship of 10.00C Ions. "With the entire appropriation," it continues, "fifi battleships could have been secured." Spain. Too I.nte, Sees Her Mistake. According to the reports received here, it is evident that Spain deeply deplores her faili.re to add a large lumber of ships to her navy instead of applying at least half of the appropri ations made by the cortes to the main tenance of the army. It is appreciated by the Madrid gov- j They manifested however, willingness ernment that, in view of the condi- j to secure as much expedition as possi tion of her treasury and the further ble and our commissioners arc satis faet that her naval force is now great- j fied with the way in which their de ly inferior, it would be useless to try wands have been informally received, to continue the struggle, especially as ; The adjournment gives the Spaniards there is no nation of Europe willing time to prepare their reply. When to support her in case she should again i resort to the arbitrament of arms. I'ecause of this the authorities have no reason to believe there will be any serious hitch in the negotiations of the peace commission, and while they ex pect the Spaniards will do everything possible to delay the completion of the treaty, believing they may bring about complications advantageous to their government, the American representa tives wili be in a possition at any time to bring them to terms by a simple threat to withdraw. THE OREGON AND IOWA. Shifting Officers of the Tiro Iluttleshipf Preparatory to Tlielr Trip Aruund the Horn. Washington, Sept. 13. The navy de- j part men t is shifting some of the of ficers of the battleships Oregon and Iowa preparatory to their departure from New York on their long cruise to San Francisco by way of the straits of Magellan. The department has just selected from the fleet of colliers, ac quired during the war, four of the best atid largest to accompany the battle ships on their long run. These are the Cassius. Scindia, Alexander and Aberendia, and their coal capacity is sufficient to assure a full supply for the battleships as well as for them selves without subjecting the fleet to the refusal of any of the South Amer ican republics to take on coal on ac count of the technical existence of a state of war between the United States i and Spain. Xo attempt is to be made j to drive the big ships so as to equal the famous run of the Oregon coming ; enstward. the need for the ships on the Tacific side not'being so pressing as to warrant incurring the risk of injur !ng the boilers or the machinery by keeping up full speed. It is expected that the battleships, with their col liers, will be able to start from Xew York about the end of the month. Agnlnaldo's Commissioners. San Francisco. Sept. 13.

The last Spanish garrisons at Ilocos and Laguna have surrendered, and tho whole island of Luzon is in the hands of the insurgents except at Manila and Cavite. Will Convene an Assembly of Filipinos, Aguinaldo went to Lclc'.los on Fri day. He has announced his intention of convening an assembly of the Fili pinos on September 13, in order to de cide upon the policy to be adopted by the insurgents. Ready to Fight for Their Independence. In an interview Aguinaldo said there were 67,000 insurgents armed with rifles. He added he could raise 100,000 men. Indeed, the insurgent leader pointed out, the whole population of the Philippine islands was willing to fight for their independence. The Provisional Government Spreading.

The two evacuation commissions held an hour's session yesterdaj- aud ad journed until Wednesday. The Ameri can commissioners made known their "; osition regarding the evacuation and ransfer uf the island in accordance with their instructions from Washing- ' ton. These instructions they decline to make public at present, as bublici 1y might lead to embai rassment in negotiations; but the Spanish commis sioners is!d not disclose their positions nor the nature of their instructions. that is presented issues will 1 be joined and the situation become clear. What effect, if any, the appearance of yellow fever among the troops at Ponce will have, is problematical.

Washington, Sept. IX Mr. Charles ! Penbv. former minister of the L'nitcd States to China, arrived here yesterday from Pckin, and in the afternoon paid his respects to the president. On leav ing the White House, Mr. Deiiby, in answer to a question, said that, in his judgment, the United States should maintain possession of all or practical ly all of the Philippine islands. Mr. Dcnby thought that the eastert, question had been practically settled, for the present at least. He did not believe there was anything in the sit uation to justify the expectation of & partition of China among the Powers, Russia has already secured territorial concessions which completely satisfied all her desires in that particular direc- lion, and as trade and trade facilities were tiie only objects of Knglish and German concern in China, he saw n good reason why they should desire her dismemberment. In any event Mr. I)enby said, he did not look foranj immediate change in the prcsen status. Belief that the Battleship Texas Will III Sent to Replace the Olyrapla. Xew York, Sept. 13.

The understanding is that she will replace the protected cruiser Olympia, which is to be or dered to the United States as soon a: her relief arrives on the Asiatic sta tion. The Olympia's cruiss expired some months ago, but the breaking out of the war with Spain necessitated her retention in the east. GRAND ARMY STATISTICS. Folnts Made by Commander-in-Chief Go bin In Bis Annual Address Pen sion and Other Statistics. EX-COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF GOBDI. Cincinnati, Sept. 10. The following excerpts are made from the address of the retiring commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, whose annual encampment has Just closed, togetherwith pension and other statistic!, of interest to the veterans of the civil war: Commander-in-Chief Gobin, in his report, said in part: As comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic, we can look over the events of the year just passed with feelings of con gratulation and just pride. No equal pe riod of time in the world's history has been fraught with more momentous events, and the result to us, as a nation, rnn not but place us upon a much higher plane amonsr the governments of the world. The feature, however, that effects imuimmea, iioniins over a. reunneu coun. try sind its blessings and protection ex tended to the isles of the sea. To our esteemed comrade. President William Mc Kinley, and his secretary of war, our p;t commander-in-chief, R. A. Alger, have given our individual and organized sup port in the arduous duties imposed upon them. Never in the world's history has there been an occasion when the experi ence of leaders in national strife renilcre 1 them so thoroughly competent to meet the clifHciilties encountered. A proposition has been made to admit Into membership with the Grand Army of the Republic the soldiers of ti:e war with Spain, regardless of other qualifications, the principal reason being that in this way the Grand army of the Repuhllo could he continued as an organization, even after every member who had Joined It under its present system had been mus tered out. It occurs to me that there is no renson for altering the rule3 and reg ulalions of our organization or changing Its distinctive character for any such pur pose. The object of the Grand Army of the Republic Is fully set forth In our rules and regulations, our rituals and our charges, and will all have been accom plished when the comrades who are now authoriz"d to compose It are no longer factors within it. It is urged by well-meaning comrades to propose the return of the flags cap tured during the war. presumably t. tho states recently in rebellion. I can not but deprecate any agitation of this question. Thi action of the Confederate Veterans' Camp of New York seemed to suggest a ! method which will end all discussion and satisfy those gentlemen who continually recur to this subject. Their resolution presents for the consideration of the va rious Grand Army posts and others the proposition that a building be erected at Washington under appropriate legislation of congress, to be a national depository In which not only the captured nags, but all such emblems and trophies of each side as may be offered from any quarter should properly be collected and lodged for their careful preservation and identi fication. If it is desirable to take any steps relative to this matter, this is the most satisfactory solution of the entire question. (en. Gobin then took the pension question, and presented a letter from Commissioner of Pensions Evans, which contained the following figures: Number of pensioners on rolls June 30. hill 97C.140 Originals granted included in report not on rolls 6.S32 Restorations granted includ ed in report not on the rolls 762 7.614 Originals granted in lS9S....52.fiB Restorations granted In ISMS. 4.0!3 56,737 Total Dropped in 1n;is: Jty deaths , ty rem:irri:ige lty expiration minority.

William was indicted by the next to tha last grand jury for grand larceny, and he was brought from jail this morning to be arraigned. Thomas has what is termed a "tough case," so he agreed with the prosecutor to plead guilty and receive the minimum sentence two years in tha Denitentiarv. "Stand up, Thomas," said Judge Wofford. "Are you guilty or not guilty?" "Judge," answered the man, with a sigh, "I do hate to tell a lie, but 1 guess I'll have to. I'm guilty." "Oh, you hate to tell a lie, do you? I won't let any man plead guilty if he think he is innocent. You'll stand trial." Tins was exactly what William's attorney did not want. "Your honor," he said, "this man is not accustomed to court ways. He did not mean that." "That's right, judge. I never was in court before, and I don't think I quite got you."
