Vienna, Oct 20.-Emperor Francis Jo-

He was disturbed frequently by fits of
coughing, which were followed by nerv-

This morning the patient arose at his
usual hour, but he was not able TO at
tend the religious services that had been
arranged for today and consequently the
mass was not said.
In spite of the doctors advice the en-
peror today insisted upon receiving the
heads of his civil and military cabinets.
General Bolfras, his aide-de-camp, stayed
with him for an hour. At the end of this
interview his majesty was somewhat IA
tigued.
The doctors found this morning that the
catarrh was slightly better, but the pa
tent still had fits of dry coughing. Con-
siderable care is necessary in conserving
the strength of the emperor.

That's the Way 1t Looked in
Rochester Saturday.
Especial to The Herald. }

Rochester, n. Y. Oct. 2O.-There was a
meeting here yesterday of the reorgani-
zation committee of the United States In
dependent company, at which Elmer B.
Jones and George L. Odell of the Utah In
dependent Telephone company, appeared
and asked for an extension of the option
secured by them on the Utah company.
When asked as to the outcome of the
meeting, Attorney Joseph w. Taylor for
the United States company said he did
not wish to give out what was done at
the meeting for several days. The only
information Mr.. Taylor would give was
that lit will be all right" This is taken
to mean that some terms for the extension
of the option for the desired three months
were arrived at. This is the general opin-
ion of those familiar with the situation.
1t is known that Mr.. Taylor's terms were
for the payment of $4,000 additional by
the Utah people for the extension. Neither
Mr.. Jones or Mr.. Odell could be reached
last night. Other members of the reor-
ganization committee were uncommunica-
tive, saying Mr.. Taylor was the only per-
son authorized to speak.
