FIFTY YEARS AN EMPEROR.
Difficulties About tie Golden An
niversary of AuStria's Ruler.

From the New YORK SUM-
/ On December ., 1913, Francis Joseph,
present Emperor of Austria, King of Hun
! gary and King of Bohemia, though he never
has been crowned as such, succeeded Fer
dinand Nv, who ahdicated. and his corona
ton took place in Vienna. On December
2, 1888, there viii tie celebrated in vi

King of Hungary until June s, 1867, thirty
years ago, the fift ieth anniversary OF the
coronation of the Austrian monarch, and
| already, Notwithstanding the condition of

rate preparations are being made for the
Austrian mona Tohs with record of fifty
! years upon the throne are rare in history
Indeed, there has been only one other since
the founder OF the house OF Ha psburg, Ru-
dolph /, assembled what was then the
throne of Austria and of Germany as well
in 1878, more than six centuries ago.
Rudolph of Hapsburg Teigned only thir-
teen years, and the one A ustr rian or Austro-
German monarch in the long line between
Rudolph and Francis Joseph. who ruled
for more than fifty years, was Frederick
w. He was known as the Pacific-possi-
bly, the attribute of pIacidity accounted for
his long reign-and ascended the throne
in 1439 and retaine dit ahtil 1893.
Tne conditionof affairs in ustro- Hungary
al present is not propitious for a very hearty
celebration of any political anniversary
commemorative of the events of fifty wears
ago. These Were somewhat eNcit ing.
An insurrection in Vienna began on March
IL. An msurrection against the power OF
Austria among the Italian-spea king sub
Jects of the Emperor began one week later:
an uprising against the Emperor caused
his flight TO the Tyrol in May: an insurrec-
ton among the Bohemians, against the
power or the Emperor of Austria, began in
June in the city of Prague, and in the au-
tuinn or the same year the Hungarian re-
beliion against the power OF the Vienna
government, and the establishment OF the
Hungarian national government under
hossuta took place in September.
1t would seem to be evident enough from
all this that in the present excited state
oil affairs in the Austrian Empire the prop
osition to have a golden anniversary ceIe-
bration OF events that took place in the
tufnultuous period OF 1S4S, would be
neither Timely nor prudent, but to avoid the
perils of such celebration it is intended
10y those having charge of the matter to
make the anniversary of the crow ming of
the Emperor a personal celehrat ION merely
the conlmemorationof an event W hich was
entirely distinct from the other occurrences
OF 1S4S.
With one exception, Francis Joseph is
now the senior OF European monarchs in
length of reign the exception being Queen
Victoria, who assembled the throne in
1887, and whose sixtieth Anniversary was
celebrated last year. Francis .Ioseph was
eighteen when he assembled tie throne.

Waiting Anxiously.

- o the neglect of ordinary matters,
the mind Of the people of this
country turned all day yester-
day to the islands at the southeast OF

had come and that the events OF ire
mendous Importance" which the press
dispatches OF a day or two had prefg-
j. ured were about to be a reality. There
was an Irresistible longing for tidings
from Sampson or from Schley. or from
any commander in the navy whose for
tunes II might be to fall in with the
Spaniards.
The news of yesterday afternoon, un-
der Madrid date. was that Cervera had
taken his ships out of Santiago de Cuba.
This word received no confirmation,
Just as the original news by way OF
Madrid OF the arrival OF the Spanish
feet at that Cuban port had not been
supported by bulletins from Washing
ton. One of last nights early bulle-
tins contained the sweeping report that.

Spanish warships had gone down. This

ard gave It out with the c%autionary
word that II lacked confirmation.
This station. on the west coas of

believed to be by those who discredited
the report that he had returned to Key
West. Later in the night the press bull
letins were an intimation thai nno
aiding had been heard of the point men
toned: these messages came from Cape
Haytien. which is on the north coast of
the island.

strengthen the rumor of a battle. Rath-
