The German Emperor PJaced a Floral Wreath on the Casket. Impressive
Funeral -Mass Held in St. Matthews Catholic Church in Wash
ington The President and Many Diplomats Present.
Vir:vN-., (By Cable). Emperor Fran
cis .Joseph, at 9 o'clock a. m. received
tho special representatives of foreign
Eovereigns. An hour later he received
the visiting sovereigns, with the excep
tion of the King of Saxony, whom he
personally greeted at the railroad sta
tion. Emperor Francis Joseph, Prince
Ifohenlohe, the German Imperial Chan
cellor, and Baron Von Bulow, the
(ierraan Minister for Foreign Affairs,
received Emperor William at the rail
road station. The Emperors shook
Lauds and kissed each other's cheeks
throe times. They then proceeded to
the church, where Emperor William,
in bc-hidf of himself and the Empress
of Germany, deposited - on the casket
containing the remains of the late Em
press of Austria a floral wreath which
his Majesty had brought from Ger
man'. The aspect of the oity was more
sombre than upon any day of the week
of uKuiining. Hardly a house was
.without black draperies and the entire
ponulaco seemed to have poured out
into toe streets. The street lamps were
all alight, shining dimly through cov
erings of crepe. Great torches threw
glaring flames over the royaUchapel in
which the remains of the late Empress
have rain in state.
At 4 o'clock the tolling of bolls an
nounced the starting of the procession.
The route from the Hofburg to tho iu
Biuniricant church of the Capuchins,
whoso vaults entomb the Hapsburgs, is
f o short that only a small proportion of
the populaco was able to crowd into the
adjoining streets. WThilo the proces
sion was being formed, the church was
tilled with the foreign Princes, who ar
rived without ostentation in closed car
riages and who were conducted to the
front pews. Even tho rafters and floors
of the church, in tho center of which
stood the catafalque, were hidden with
black drapery. Outside a company of
distinguished generals and staff officers
were aligned, A detachment of cavalry
led tho procession, followed by a single
horseman, a court officer, attired in a
tSiutuish costume. Then came car
riages, in which were seated the ser
vants of the late Empress, and they
were followed by a second detachment
i f cavalry. Af tor those horsemen were
three court carriages, drawn by six
horses cbvored with funeral trappings,
and escorted by footmen. They con
tained the court dignitaries and ladies
in waiting. A train of servants fol
lowed, walking two abreast, and then
camo tha most imposing feature of the
procession. Several companies of the
guards and a squadron of horse guards,
followed by a detachment of yeomau,
all gorgeously uniformed, preceded the
colossal eight-horse funeral car. On
either side were four footmen and four
pages with lighted tapers; but the im
mediate escort of the car was composed
of six stalwart gentlemen of the Archer
Guard, eight yeomen, six Hungarian
Life. Guards and eight mounted Life
'Guards.. Following the car were sev
eral bodies of infantry and cavalry.
A large number of priests in full can
onicals, met the procession at the Au
gustine church and proceeded with it
to the church of the Capuchins. The
clergy there marched down the
nislo boforo the coffin and united in in-,
toning prayers, which were also ex
quisitely chanted during the service by
the court choir. During the lastjirayer
the coffin was lifted from the catafaTque
and the clergy, bearing torches, walked
before it. Emperor Francis Joseph,
attended by the highest officers of
State, bearing wands, followed. This
procession slowly passed from the sight
of the congregation, down a stone stair
wa' to the vaults. After tho last bene
diction had been pronounced in the
vaults the mourners re-ascended and
the High Chamberlain handed the key
of the vault to the Capuchin who is the
guardian of the imperial niausolem.

Revenuers Couldn't Get Her, But Death Did.
News has reached Knoxville, Teun.,
of the death of Nahala Mullins, the fa
mous fat woman and moonshiner
of Hancock county. Mrs. Mullins
weighed 550 pounds and'lived on the
top of a mountain whore she conduct
ed a "still in defiance of the law. The
officers were unable to apprehend her
on account of her size, there being no
way to get her . down the mountain.
Mrs. Mullins was one of the tribe of
Elungtons, whose origin baa been a
uystery to ethnological students.
OF . DEEP IUK
of the murdered Empress, Elizabeth oi
Austria was celebrated at St. Mat
thew s Catholic church, Cardinal Gib
bons being the celebrant, The cere
mony was official in character, under
the auspices of the Austrian minister,
and among those in attendance were
1 resident McKinley and the members
of his cabinet, the ambassadors and
ministers of foreign governments in
their brilliant diplomatio uniforms,
representatives of the United States
army, navy, and Supreme Court, and a
largo gathering from private life. The
Austrian minister, M. Von Hengen
muller, was attended by all the mem
bors of his staff. The military attache,
Baron Riedl, in the uuiform of the
Austrian Imperial Guard, and Captain
Rodler, naval attache, in the uniform
of the Austrian navy, acting as ushers,
Minister Von Hengenmuller wore the
striking costume of the Hungarian
"magnat," denoting high diplomatio
rank. It was of sombre black satin
coat, knee breeches and high boots,
and a heavy black velvet cloak hung
from the left shoulder. His sword,
scabbard and hilt, was hid with wind
ings of crepe.
As the carriages of the President
and Cabinet reached the church, M.
Van Hengelmuller left his pew and met
the President at the church door, es
corting him to a pew to the front aud
right of the chancel. With the Presi
dent were Secretaries Gage and Wil
son, Postmaster-General' Emery Smith
and Acting Secretary Adee. Back of
them, as representatives of the army,
sat two of tho officers of General Milos'
staff, Colonel Mausand Lieutenant
Colonel Michler, in fatigue uniform,
while the judiciary was represented bv
Justice Harlan, of the United States
Supreme Court. In the absence of
the British Ambassador, Sir Julian
Pauncefote, he sent a larg9 floral cross"
of white roses and carnation, which
was in the middle of the chancel fac
ing the congregation. The embassy
was represented by Captain Paget aad
Mr. Young. The'charch interior was
simply arranged for tho occasion.
Back of the chancel hung long
crepe draperies, covering the : win
dows and darkening tho altar.
The pulpit was draped with
heavy bands of crepe. Cardinal Gib -bons
wa3 assisted in tho mass 'by a
large number of priest3 and acolytes,
the usual rich vestments being put
aside for those of black and white.
The Dreyfus Case.
At a meeting of the cabinet ministers
in Paris, it was decided to submit the
documents in the Dreyfus case to a
commission to be selected by tho Min
ister of Justice, M. Savrieu. The Min
ister of War, 'Genersl Zurlinden, and
the Minister of Public Works, Senator
Tillaye, lefs before the council ad
journed. General Zurlinden later sent
his written resignation to Premier
Brisson, declaring his firm belief in
Dreyfus' guilt. Later in tho day an
other cabinet council was held, at
which General Chanoi.ne, commander
of tho First Division of the First Army
Corps, (Department of the North and
tho Pas-de-Calais) was appointed Min
ister of War, in succession of General
Zurlinden, and Senator Godin, repre
senting French India, was appointed
Minister of Public Works, succeeding
M. Tillayo. The latter, in transmitting
his letter of resignation, is apparently
bidding for popular favor. He wrote:
"The council having decided to appoint
a commission to consider the request
for a revision of the trial of the con
vict, Dreyfus, I am unable to accept
any share in the responsibility for that
steps, which, in my opinion, involves a
revision of the case. "
Offers to Sell Us Coal.
The Spanish authorities at San Juan,
Porto Rico, have offered Admiral
Schley G,000 tons of coal at $6 per ton.
He has cabled to the Department at
Washington for instructions.
War Against the Anarchists.
The assassination of the Empress of
Austria, at Geneva, Switzerland, by an
Italian anarchist, has led to a violent
outcry in some of the reactionary or
gans for repressive measures against
anarchists. Indeed, some of them went
to extremes, advocating measures
against socialists and. their "allied po
litical parties. " Statements hate ap
peared in several of the newspapers to
the effect that the German government
intended to take the initiative in pro
posing international action. Official
circles, however, deny any such inten
tion, but they declare that any pro
posals on the subject will be well re
ceived by the Germnn government,
which will do all possible to co-operate
with united action.

ARMY AND N4VY DOINGS.
The Movements of Our Army and Navy
Breiflv Told. .j
It was announced at the war depart
ment recently that there will be no
more troops mustered out. i The situa
tion does not admit of any further re
duction in army, and efforts are being
made to put those volunteers who are
retained in the service as near as possi
ble to the footing of the regulars in the
matter of drill and discipline. A little
over 96,000 have .already been mustered
out, and it is announced positively that
there will bo no more mustered out,
no matter what influence is i brought to
bear. ! -
Col. AndeFof tha Fourth Illinois
Regiment, was placed under arrest at
Jacksonville, Fla., recently on charges
preferred by Lieut. -Col. McWilliams,
charging him with conduct unbecom
ing an officer and a gentle
man, and other things. The trouble
grows out of the arrest some time since
of one of the majors of the regiment,
for sending a telegram to the Governor
of Illinois, stating that the regiment
desired to go to Cuba.
In general the plan of reorganizing
the army consists in reducing the vol
unteer army about one-half and then
redistributing the' remaining forces,
regular and volunteer, to our new pos
sessions and dependencies: viz: Ma

drones, etc., at the same time maintain

ated including Cuba and Porto Rico.

Great Opposition in Cuba to an
American Protectorate.
THREE IMPOSING STREAMS ARE
Flowing From Mount Vesuvius Complying
With the Terms New Japanese Tariff
Corpse Weighed Half a Ton.
The predominant feature of the situa
tion in Cuba is the feverish and wide,
epread agitation'of the Cubans in favor
of the absolute independence of the
island at all cost. Manifestos are
being circulated invitiirg the co
operation tf Spanish residents and
merchants to this end, and pointing
out that either annexation or an
American protectorate would mean
death to all trade with Spain in a
couple of years. General Maximo
Gomez, who only a fortnight ago gave
expression to extremely moderate
views, counseling harmony and pa
tience, now expresses himself as strong
ly in favor of absolute indepemdence or
nothing. He says the Spanish element
cannot afford to delay uniting with the
Cubans, as a "necessary basis for the
establishment of conditions that will
forbid and prevent tha United States
grabbing and taking easy advantage of
the treasure both Spaniards and Cubans
have fought for at an expense of rivers
of blood on each side.
A Grand Spectacle.
A special from Naples feays: Mount
Vesuvius is now presenting the grand.
est spectacle since 1872, due to ;a
violent outburst of activity. The
central crater and a number of nev?
mouths are vomiting lava and ashes.
Threo" imposing streams are flowing
down the mountain side, burning the
chestnut woods at the base of Monto
Sommaj -nearly reaching the observa
tory, destroying part of the Funichu
lar Railroad leading thereto,, and
threatening the barracks of the Carbi
neers.
New Japanese Tariff.
The government of Japan proclaimed
that the new Japanese statutory tariff,
as well as the English, German, French
and Austro-Hungarian conventional
tariffs, would be put into operation os
the 1st of January, 1809. Thia etet
marks the inauguration of J'apan's new
treaty relations with the Western pow
ers. The United States and other
treaty powers, besides the ones having
conventional tariffs, will enjoy all the
benefits of those tariffs, by reason of
the favored nation chvises in their
treaties.
The I nsurgent Congress.
A special from Manila, says the in
surgents recently held a congress at
Malos. A strong party,, intoxicated by
the present measure of success, favor
ed opposition to any foreign protector
ate, being confident that the people
can govern ihemselves. Wiser coun
selors strenuously oppose such a sui
cidal policy. Apparently unanimity
now exists only in the determination to
free the islands forever from Spanish
rule.
Preparing for the German Emperor.
Extraordinary preparations are being
made in Jerusalem for the reception'of
the German emperor. The Sultan has
granted 60,000 piastres for the renova
tion of ihe palace, and Arajoio journals
Dunounce that in the principal street of
Jerusalem, which leads to tie holy
grave, many old houses are being torn
down to widen the street or improve it
by the erection of naw ones. The gate
at tho head of the street is also to be
made wider ao as to make room for the
passage of the imperial carriage.
Corpse Weighed Half a Ton.

The Pekin correspondent of the Lon

no interference from any other power
in the Niu Chang Railroad loan con
tract, he has now yielded to all the
conditions Russia imposed. As a result
the negotiations with the English syn
dicate have been broken off and those
with the Russo-Cninese Bank have
been resumed.
The Queen and Her Soldiers.
A special from Madrid savs the
Queen Regent pays daily visits to the
sick soldiers who have returned from
the colonies. She has ordered that the
convalescents be conveyed in the royal

JsJiNE-TCrrrris of
all the pain
and sickness from
which women
suffer is caused
by weakness or
derangement in
the organs cf
menstruation.
Nearly always
when a woman is net well these
organs are affected. But vhen
they are strong and healthy a
woman is very seldom sick.
Is nature's provision for the regu
lation of the menstrual . function.
It cures all ' female troubles." It
is equally effective for the girl in
her teens, the young wife with do
mestic and maternal cares, and
the woman approaching the period
known as the "Change of Life."
They all need it. They are all
benefitted by it.
