office 10 two years A similar resolution

VIENNA. oct. l2.-The condition OF EN-
peror Francis Joseph took a turn for the
worse at noon and Is now considered seri-
Gus.
The following bulletin has been issued by
the oficial news agency:
'"rhe coughing coptinues, though the em-
peroR spent quite a good night"
The emperor was able to rise at his usual
early hour this morning, after having
passed an Unexpectedly good night. He
coughed less and slept more quietly. The
catarrhal Inflammation however, has not
diminished, and his appetite continues bad,
although he takes SUFFICIENT nourishment
to maintain his strength. His temperature
was only slightly above normal, and at s
o'clock an hour after his temperature had
been taken, the emperor received his aide
de-camp, General Baron Bolfras Won
Ahnenburg and other officials, listening to
the reports which they read.
An unsatisfactory symptom of the en-
peror's condition is his recurring indiffer-
ence to what is going on around him and
to his own state OF health, which his
physicians declare is only slightly improved
today. The report from Madrid says that
the visit Of King Alphonso and Queen Vic
toria to Vienna has been postponed inde-
finitely.

Succession WIN BE Peaceful.

BERLIN, Oct. 12.-The prevailing official
opinion here is that should Emperor
Francis Joseph Of Austria die in the near
future the transfer OF the crown to Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand would talae place
without a shock to the dual monarchy, or
without n controversy OF moment arising
between Hungary and the new sovereign.
This opinion is based upon study of the
personalities the Hungarian and Austrian
statesmen and from knowledge Of the prl-
vate affairs and policies OF the Austrian
court. The German government has taken
care for years to be always in possession
OF full information regarding the Austrian
situation. During the present period OF
doubt concerning the result OF the Austrian
emperor's Illness teIegraphic reports on the
subject have been received by Emperor
William twice a day from schoenbrunn
castle.

FRED BROWN IS
 DANGEROUSLY ILL
Well Known Young Man Underaoes Operation and Was Very Low
 Yesterday.

The numerous friends of Fred Brown. one of the most popular young men in the employ of the local newspapers, will keenly regret to learn of his dangerous illness from typhoid fever. About ten days ago Mir Brown was taken i'll with the fever which has since grown con- stantly worse. Saturday evening his con- dition was pronounced very dangerous by the attending physicians. and he was removed to St. Vincent's hospital, where an operation was performed on account of suppuration. The operation in itself was successful and Sunday morning the patients condition was considered some what improved He is, however, very low.
 Mir. Brown has been in the employ of The Age-Herald in one capacity or an other ever since his lungs were strong enough to cry the news upon the streets, and up to the time of the present ill- ness he was one of the mainstays of the mailing department. He has made many friends who sincerely regret his illness, and hope for his ultimate recovery.

TELECRAPHERS GO
 BACK ID THE KEYS
Strike Is Thing of the Past In
 Birmingham
SERVICE IS NOW NORMAL
Men Are Taken Back as Individuals and With No Change in Condi- tions Under Which They For
 merly Worked.

As far as the local telegraph offices are concerned. the strike of the union oper ators is thing of the past.
 Both companies have a normal force Of operators. and are now equipped to handle the business to and from Birmingham as before the strike was declared
 The majority of the operators who went out on the strike, according to the man agers of the two companies who were in- tervewed last night. have applied for and received employment. In takneAtheir posts again, according to the statements of the managers, the operators made complete surrender. having failed to carry | single point contended for and having failed to gain a single concession.
 As is remembered, the strike was de- clared in Birmingham more than II weeNs ago. On account of the impaired forces at the local offices of the companies. ser vice was greatly interfered with, and the people and the newspapers put to great deal of inconvenience. Now however, according to the managers of the com panles the strike is terminated as far as Birmingham is concerned
 It is learned that the companies dealt with the men applying for work as in dviduals and that no reference was made to union, or to the men belonging to it. Associated Press bulletins last night from New Orleans and Montgomery were to the effect that the operators in those cities were again applying for work with the companies.
 The Western Union became normal Fri day, having employed several of the erst- while strikers on that day. More were employed Saturday. The Postal employed former strikers. too, Saturday, and oth- CTS will 80 to work this morning. Man ager Jackson stated to The Age-Herald last night that the strike, as far as his company was concerned, was terminated, and this statement was reiterated by Manager Williams of the Western Union. The strikers return to their keyboard | under the conditions that prevailed before the strike. Manager Williams stated that no good man suffered However, from l his statement it was learned that the men were employed at the figure which 1 they were considered worth, and not ac- cording to the figure paid them prior 10 the strike. The strike and the return to work of the operators. served to even up l the salaries of all the men, those who l went out and those who remained faithful l to the companies employing them.

COOPERATION WILL
 ACCOMPLISH END
NsSsiTT SAYS RAILROAD coM- MISSION IS WILLING TO BE TAIE TO KITE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE PURPOSE.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Lawyer Rogers, in his card publish. ed in your issue of Sunday mornings. takes the position that differences be-s tween the citizens of the state and tha railroads should be settled only through the courts rather than by mu- tual agreement as was agreed to be done in the case of the Southern rail- way and it's allied lines.
 The average business man and citi. zen does not take MT. Rogers view of the case, but rather believes in avoid- ing, when possible. the courts. the con- sequent delays and necessary lawyerss fees l have no fault to find with MT. Rogers or anyone else. for expressing opinions on public questions. In order that the true facts might be known it was necessary. however. to correct the inference, if not plain statement, of his former charge that the state had no right to make without additional legislative action such settlement as was agreed to be made with the South ern railway, December l, next.
 This point Is now clear and ad- mitted by MT. Rogers. so there Is no further controversy. As member of the railroad commission. and a pare of the tall to the kite" l beg to ad- wise MT. Rogers of a fact we'll known to all of us kite flyers of the good old American type that is that for the sue cessful ascension of the kite the tail la a ,t.l
 fails in it's duties the kite no longer rises steadily against adverse winds, but is wrecked. Personally l have no objection to being a tail to a proper. kite; and since in MT. Rogers opinion such is the present position of the board of which l am member I will say that this tail will use it's utmost endeavor to fully perform it's functions and thereby steady the successful as- tension of the peoples kite in Ala bama.
 "The commission will steadily work to obtain with the least possible fric- ton those things to which the ship pers in this state are entitled. When such ends can be obtained by agree ments we will welcome the oppor- tunity, when impossible we will will lingly be attached as a tail to some other kite which gives promise of sue cess.
 Not all of =, MT. Rogers, can be kites, many fail through undue self vanity that looks down upon the useful work of "the tail" After all It's not the part we play, but the way we play it.
 "The contention of the people of Ala bama will in this instance. 1 conh- dently believe, reach d successful issue because a spirit of corporation is growing that makes each play his part large or small to the extent of his ability W. D. NESBITT.

CONFER CONFIRMS
 FOSTERS ACTION
Says He Was Frst-Rate Representa- stvc and Was on His Side in
 Railroad Fight.

Governor Conner stated last night that Manley Foster, representative from Tus- caloosa county, had given to him, per sonally, his resignation, an account of which was published Sunday morning.
 In speaking of this matter, Governor Conner paid a tribute to Representative Foster. You may say for me-" stated the governor, that MT Foster, in addition to being an excellent lawyer and citizen was a first rate representative. You may also state that he was with the people in the regulating of railroad traffic. We will sorely miss him"
 MT. Foster rendered his resicfWtion be- cause he was preparing to move from Tuscaloosa to Montgomery. As is gener- ally known, MT Fsster has received the appointment ce assistant district attorney of the Louisville and Nashville railroad.

CONER TALKS OF
 COMING MEETING
THREE GOVERNORS WILL MEET IN ATLANTA TO GO OVER RATE SITUATION AND. TO DISCUSS A PLAN OF UNIFORMITY.

Concerning the meeting of Governor Conner. Governor Smith of Georgia and Governor Glenn of North Carolina. re- ported to be scheduled for Atlanta next Thursday, Governor Conner had very little to say last night when asked for information relative to this sub ject.
 A dispatch in The Age-Herald yes- terday from Washington, quoted Gov ernor Glenn of North Carolina as stat ing that this meeting would be held in Atlanta Thursday, and that it was called for the purpose of considering uniform passenger rate for the states of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia, and, too, for the discus sion and exchange of ideas of the vex- atious question as to the best manner of reaching an amicable agreement
 While the governor refrained from giving out an interview relative to this matter, it was learned from him that it is planned to have the meeting in question. Governor Conner, it seemed wired Governor Smith, asking what time would suit him best TOT the meet ing. Governor Smith wired Governor Conner in return that next week (this week) would be satisfactory with him. Thereupon Governor Conner wired Gov ernor Glenn of North Carolina, asking what day of this week would suit him. Governor Conner has got no answer as yet from Governor Glenn.
 For that reason, Governor Conner stated that he learned more from The Age Herald account than he had known previously. It seems that Gov ernor Comer did not know that the meeting would be held Thursday.
 It is true. however, that~ the meeting will be held. and probably held Thurs day of this week. It is known, too, that the meeting was called for dis cussion of the railroad controversy which has been dominant in the ar- fairs of Alabama, Georgia. Virginia, North Carolina and other southern states for some time.

 Something happened here yesterday that I am exceedingly sorry of. My God who would have thought that d bottle from Ohio, with women and chil- dren trailing behind, would have beer paraded through the streets of Brming- ham? Bottle and leaders are both from Ohio, and both are of the same kind.
