Berlin, Oct 12.-The prevailing off, cial opinion here is that should En- peror Francis Joseph of Austria die soon the transfer of the crown to Archduke Francis Ferdinand would take place without a shock to the dual monarchy, or without a con- troversy of moment arising between Hungary and the new sovereign. This opinion is based upon knowledge of the private policies of the Austrian court During the present period of doubt concerning the result of the Austrian emperor's illness, telegra- phic reports on the subject have been receivey by Emperor William twice q day from Schoenbrunn castle.

 Emperor Francis Joseph
NEAR DEATHS DOOR

Vienna, Oct 12-The condition of Emperor Francis Joseph took turn for the worse at noon} and is now considered serious. .
 The following bulletin has been is sued by the official news agency:
 1.-The coughing continues, though the emperor spent quite good night y
 The report from Madrid that the visit of King Alphonso and Queen Victoria to Vienna has been post poped indefinitely, is confirmed. !.
 Vienna, Oct 12.-Emperor Fran cis Joseph passed an unexpectedly good night. He coughed and slept more quietly. The catarrhal intlam- nation, however, has not diminished and his appetite continues poor. al- though he partakes sufficient nour- -ishment to maintain his strength, The temperature of his majesty this morning was only slightly above nor nal and at o'clock he received his aide de campe general, Baron Bolfras Von Ahnenburg, and others, listening to the reports which they read.
 An unsatisfactory symptom of the emperors condition is his recurring indifference to what is going on around him. and to his own state of health which his physicians declare is only slightly improved to-day.

Where to take Fish

Ranchmen and others, who
bring in fish for the Railroad Gel
ebration, will please take them at
once to the Island, where a place
has been prepared to store them.
Every ranchman who can is urg-
ed to bring as many trout as he
can, as there will be great demand
for them. The fish should be
dressed and a teaspoonful of salt
placed inside of each one to keep
them from spelling.

PRETTY BIG LOANS
Insurance Companies Are Lend ing Direct to the Policy
 Holders.

New York, Nov 13.-.Many mill lions of dollars in loans have been placed by the big insurance com panies of the city during the present period of financial stringency, it was learned to-day. The majority of these loans were made direct to pol icy holders, with their policies as se- curity, at the rate of per cent in- terest. The largest single loan made, so far as known, was one of $90,000. Loans of s25,00O have not been at all infrequent.
 Most of the companies have largely increased their total number of loans in the last few weeks in comparison with similar periods before, but the one exception to this proves conclu- sively that the borrowing recently has been by men of large means, men who are carrying large policies. In this company the total number of loans for October were less than for September but the total amount bor- rowed increased in the month by $1,- 00O,000. The total amountof policy loans carried on November 1 was $63, 3,000,000, many of which had been carried for some years. In the last year the company has increased it's policy loans by $S,000,O00 or S9,- 100000.
