FRANCIS JOSEPH ANGRY
AuStria'S Emperor Threatens to
Establish q Dictatorship.
Disguised With the Dis0rderIy
Scenes in the Reichsrath, Which,
Before the Worid-The PFemier's
Successful Plea fer Another Trial.

LONDON, Feb. 2L-Following the scene
in the lower house of the Reichsrath at
Vienna yesterday, the political situation,
according to a despatch from that city,
has become most serious The suspension
of the sitting of the Legislature yester-
day on account of the rietous proceedings
Of the excited SIav and German members,
when the President of the Reichsrath was
brazenly insulted and threatened with vi
olence, has aroused Emperor Francis Jo-
seph TO greater anger than ever before.
Because Of this trouble in Parliament.
which prevents the transaction of any of
the business of the Government. the Empe-
ror has openly threatened to assume an
absolute dictatorship and take the man
agement OF the country exclusively into
his hands
At midnight last night the Emperor
summoned Dr.. Won Koerber. the Premier,
and told him candidly that he intended to
prorogue the Reichsrath and govern with
out Parliament unless the members of
the legislative body ceased to bring aus
tria into disgrace and iH-repute before the
eyes of all the world The Emperor was
in = very angry state Of mind and utterly
out of patience with the elements in the
Reichsrath that have substituted rowdyism
for calm deIiberation on matters that de-
snand immediate consideration.
Or. vo2 Koerber pleaded with the EN-
peror for more time, stating that he had
hoped that the disorderly spirit in he
Reiehsrath would subside and that The
Emperor's condemnation Of yesterdays
disorderly proceedings would have the ef-
feet of bringing the insurgents to their
right senses.
Finally, Francis Joseph relented. after
an eloquent plea for more time from the
Premier, and agreed TO give the Reic1s-
ratli another chance, which, ne said,
would be the last.
The outlook for the disturbing factions
coming together and transactng business
peacefully, however, is very gloomy
It is feared that there will be anot.sr
outbreak and that the Emperor will carry
out his threat to assume a dictatorship.

Advices were received az the State De
partment today from Minister CO. ger
that the Chinese Government had yielded
to the demands of the foreign represen a
tives at Pekin for the inficting Of the Sc
yerest punishment or the dignitaries cen
cerned in the Boxer troubles.
There is no doubt felt here that this
result was attained through the threat of
Count yon WaIde7see TO send military
expedition TO Singan-fu. where the En-
pero- and the Empress Dowager are resid-
ing. and while the United States Govern
ment did not sympathize with that hostile
movement. il is nevertheless gratided that

CATION of the peace negotiations has been
removed
Minister Conger said in his despatch that
the Chinese peace pIenipo5entiaries, Ii
Hung Chang and Prince Ching, have in
formed The representatives Of the Powers
that the Emperor has agreed to infict pun
iehaent on those persons mentioned in a
despatch from the minister dated February
6. in accordance with the demands of the
ministers
This despatch said that the death pen
atty had been demanded for Yu Hsien,
Chih Ii Lu. and Hsu Cheng Yu, and deg
radiation and exile for Prince Tuan and
Duke Ian 1t was represented by the
Chinese ENJOYS that the Court was IN
able at that time TO innict the dsath pen
atty upon Tung Fuh Slang. but that he
would be punished il some way, yet to
be determined Demands were made also
that posthumous honors be conferred
on the four members Of the Tsung-li-Ya-
men who we're executed on account Of
their pro-foreign sympathies.
L IS believed at the State Department
that the Chinese acQuiescence in the de-
mands Of the ministers covers also the ad-
diti02s to the punishment programme
made by the ministers on February 8.
These provide for the degradation and ex-
lie Of Chao Chi CEao and Wing Lien, and
death for Prince Chwang. the chief of the
Boxers Society.
Later official information from Minister
conger was received that the Chinese
Government had consented to order
Prince Cbwang to commit suicide, to de-

that it is At any rate the cause for the
