100 years ago today: today’s leading articles focus on
country towns and the centenary of the novel “Waverley” by Sir Walter
Scott. There are articles about the continuing
debate in the House of Lords, the King’s visit to Shrewsbury, the thunderstorms
which have helped break the heatwave in London and the murder of a patient in a
doctor’s surgery. The German Emperor has
an attack of lumbago which has prevented him from attending the funeral of
Archduke Franz Ferdinand. There are
further details about the plot to assassinate the Archduke and martial law
continues to be in force in Bosnia.
