N'eue Frele Presse.) Archduke FtjiticIs Ferdinand, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, and his wife, the Ducheas of Hohenberg. were shot and killed a Bosnian student here today. The fatal shooting was the necond atltrnpt upon the 'lives of the coupl during th day. and is Iwlleved to hnv len the result of a political conspiracy. This morning, as Archduke Francis Ferdinand and th Duchess were driving to a reception at the Town Hall R-tMtm)) wnn thrown nl their motor car.i The Archduke pushed It off wtth his arm.

The bomb did not explode until after the Archduke's car had passed on. and the occupant of. the next car. Count von Boon I deck and Col. Morlrzl.

lh Archduke's aide camp, were slightly Injured. Among the spectators, six persons were more or less seriously hurt. The author of the attempt at assas-nlnatlon was a compositor named Oa-brlnovlcp. who comes from TrehlnJ. After the attempt upon his life the Archduke ordered hF car to halt, and after be found out what bnd happened he drove to the Town Hall, where the Town Councillors, with the Mayor Bt their head, awaited him.

The Mayor was nhout to begin his address of welcome, when the Archduke Interrupted him angrily, saying: Herr Burgermelster, It Is perfectly outrageous! "iVe have come to Sara- Jevo on a visit and have had a bomb The Archdk paused a moment, nn(J hr.n s-w vou ma go on." Thereupon the Mayor delivered his nddress ami the Archduke made a suitable reply. The public by this time had heard of the bomb attempt, and burst Into the hall with loud cries of Zivio! the Slav word for hurrah." After going around the Town Hall, which took half an hour, the Archduke for the Harrison Hospital to visit Col. Morl.zl. who bad been taken ner re fired In tpilck succession by an indl vldual who called himself Gavrlo Prln- clp. The first shot struck the T)uch-ess In the alKlomen.

Servian Minister Feared Troublp if Heir Went to Bosnia. 1 Special Cable to The New Yontc TjMfis. tMtpattfa'ts fbt UndAa bail? Uatt.

1KXNA, June 2S. When the news of the asmisslnation of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand and the Duchess was hroaen to the aged Kmperor Francis Joseph he said: "Horrible, horrible! No sorrow is spared me." The Emperor, who yesterday left here for Ischl. his favorite Summer resort, amid acclamations of the people, will return to Vienna at once. In spile of the hardships of the Journey ln the terrible heat. The Archduke, who was created head of the army, went to Bosnia to represent the Kmperor at the grand manoeuvres there.

This was the first Mm th Archduke had paid an official visit to Bosnia. The Emperor visited the provinces Immediately after their annexation, ln 10OM, and the manner in which he mixed freely with the people was much criticised at the time. those In his party were always afraid lest some Slav or Mohammedan fanatic might attempt tho monarch's life. The Emperor's Popularity, however, saved him from all danger of this kind. Before therchduke went 'to Bosnia last Wednesday the Servian Minister here expressed doubtns to the wisdom of the Journey; saying the country was ln a very turbulent condition and the Servian part of -tho population might organize a demonstration against the Archduke.

The Minister said if the Archduke went himself he certainly ought to leave his wife at home, because Bosnia was no place for a woman in Its present dlturlxd state. The Minister's word proved correct. The people of Sarajevo welcomed the Archduke with a display of Servian flags, and the authorities had some difficulty in removing them before the Archduke made his state entry Into the city yesterday, after the conclusion of the manoeuvres. In these manoeuvres were the famous Fifteenth and Sixteenth Army Corps, which were stationed on the frontier throughout the recent Balkan war. and they carried out the uvnlutinriM.

In fore the Archduke. fireeted Tilth Cheer. The details of the tragedy, as received in Vienna, were as follows: The Archduke was driving in a motor car toward the Town Hall In Sarajevo, with the Duchess of Hohenberg by his side. A large crowd assembled to watch them go hy. The Archduke, raising his hand to his military cap, acknowledged the cheers, while the Duchess was smiling and bowing, her pretty face framed by her blonde hair.

Suddenly the Archduke's sharp eye caught sight of a bomb hurling through the air. His first thought was for his wife, and he threw up his i i. i i. thus wns lurneil sslile from lis course and fell on the pavement and explrxL-ed. The Archduke's motor car linsteneil on Its way.

Its ccupants unharmed, but the two AdJutantswho were seat- e4 in tho next motor car were injured i by splinters the bomb. Several on the pavement were very serious hurt by the explosion of the bomb, whli was thrown by young man nuncd Tabrinovitch.

The- boy must have been carefully instructed in his part, for it was a well-guarded secret tht the Archduke always woro a coot of silk strands which were woven obliquely, so that no Weapon or bullet rmild pierce it. I once saw a strip of this fabric used for a motor-car tire, and It was punitureproiif This new Invention enable! the Archduke to brave attempts on his life, but his head naturally was uncovered.

The DurlicsH was shot ln the body. The boy fired several times, but only two phots took effect. The Archduke and Ills wife were carried to th Ko-nak, or palace, ln a dying condition.

The favt that no one stopped him. and that he was allowed to perpetrate the dastardly act Indicate that the conspiracy was carefully planned and that the Archduke fell a victim to a political plot The nspira-tlon of the Servian population In Bosnia to Join with Servhi and form a Servian Kingdom well known. N'u doubt today's assassination was regarded as a means of forwarding this plan. Ilrenk Sf'na to Children. The Archduke's children are.

at Glume. In Bohemia, nil already have left Vienna to break the news to them. The Duke of Cumberland motored to Ischl Immediately upon receipt of the news ani was received by the Emperor, who will arrive In Vienna, at o'clock tomorrow. The bodies) of the Archduke and his wife will bot be brought to Vienna until tomorrow a week. It In feared that Jt will lead to serious complications with that unruly kingdom, and may hare far-reaching re-' suits.

Tlw future of the empire is a subject of general dlrfcusslon. It is felt that, the Servians have been treated too lenlrntly, end some hard words are telng said about the pres-ent foreign policy. All tbe public building aire drapd in long black streamers and the flags are all ut half-mast. BRAVERY OF ARCHDUKE. Gave First Aid to Those Wounded by the Bomb.

SARAJEVO, Bosnia. -June 28. Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hgngarian throne, and the Duchess of Hohenberg. his morganatlo wife, were shot dead ln the main street of the Bosnian capital by a student today while they were making an apparently triumphant progress through the city on' their annual visit to the annexed provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
