Devoted Considerable Time Yesterday

the Dominion of Francis Joseph.
lBy Associated Press.l

VIENNA, Oct l4.-Today has
brought distinct change for the bet
Ter in the condition of Francis Joseph,
the aged emperor-king of Austria.
Hungary, whose Illness of the last fort
night has aroused tie interest OF
the civilized world and the apprehen
sion of his subjects. The doctors CON
slider that the immediate danger has
passed unless unforeseen complications
arise, and rs result hopeful antici
patton has come TO the Viennese in
place of the fears and foreboding of
the past three days.
The patient had a fairly good night
Sunday and felt better when he arose
this morning. Today he rested easy
and although he still suffered con
siderably from coughing. the day On
the whole was good one.
The fever has almost entirely dis
appeared and the spread of the inila-
nation has ceased. In fact his mai
esty was so much better that he was
able TO devote considerable time to
state affairs and he granted audiences
TO number of court officials
1t Is semi-officially reported that
the recovery of the patient really be-

has been pessimistic, is more hopeful
The Position Of Germany.
BERLIN, Oct. 14.-Regarding the
persistent reports published in the
English press that Germany desires
to absorb Austria in the event of the
death of Francis Joseph. it may be
stated that the policy of Germany with
reference to the internal affairs Of the
Austria-liungary monarchy has been
declared TO he one of entire aloftness.
The foreign office some months ago
sent dispatch on this subject to Bar
on Speck Won Sternburg, German am
bassador at Washington, for the in
formation OF President Roosevelt.
The entrance of Austria into the
German imperial system would, ac-
cording to the Prussian view tend to
revive the old antagonisms which had
come to an end with the entire cxclu-
sion of Austria from the German coun-
Gil, and furthermore a strong Austrian
empire was shown to be of Advantage
to Germany because it was friendly To
the government of Emperor William
and support TO the present equilb-
rum of Europe. In addition the Ger
man official view is that the Austro.
Hungarian monarchy is not in tie
slightest danger of dissolution.
