News has beea received that a beautiful young baroness, whose name has not transpired, committed suicide at Meyerling, where Archduke Rudolph died, on Tuesday night. It seems that Prince Rudolph arrived ic a cab at the chateau at 2 o’clock in the morning, accompanied by Count Hoyos, Tho Prince, who was singing, called bis valet at 6 o’clock, and ordered the cab to be brought. On the valet’s return he found the door locked, and on forcing it open discovered Prince Rudolpli lying in bed undressed and drenched in blood. The Archduke Carl has renounced the succession in favor of his son Francis. The body of Prince Rudolph is lying in state publicly. The funeral, which will be private, takes place to-morrow. The Emperor William will not be allowed to attend even informally. The evidence shows that Prince Rudolph’s suicide was premeditated. The Archduke Charles is delaying his formal renunciation of the succession, there being a possibility of a posthumous heir being boru. London, February 5.
