SLIGHTLY BETTER
Reports from His Bedside Indica te
that He IL Considerably
Easier.

VIENNA, Oct 14.-Optimistic accounts
of the progress made by Emperor Francis
Joseph were received from Schoenbrunn
castle this morning. Though his night was
repeatedly disturbed by bad fits of cough
Ing. the emperor felt considerably eased
when he arose somewhat later than usual,
and seated himself in his chair, and his
mood was noticeably more cheerful. DR..
Herzel, the imperial physician, who ex-
amined the emperor carefully today, found
that the patients exrectoration was abun-
dant and that though the inhammation con-
tinued, it had not increased. His majesty
manifested more interest in affairs of state
than in recent days, and so 1t is hoped THAT
any steps contemplated for transferring
part of the official business to other shoul-
ders and insuring the smooth running of
the state machinery can De postponed for
a few days, even should It become neces-
sary at all. Archduke Francis Ferdinand,
the heir apparent, is in constant touch with
tho foreign minister
II the emperor's condition does not be-
come any worse perhaps &c will suffice II
the baron, in his quality as minister Of the
imperial house. concludes the necessary ne
gotiations with the Hungarian government
to assure the carrying out OF the recently
concluded arrangements between the two
governments providing for their shares in
the common expenses OF the dual monarchy.
/ The optimistic official opinions expressed
regarding the emperors health are not
confirmed from tho best informed private
! sources, whence It is persistently stated
that the Inflammation continues to be a
bad symptom and does not give promise
of the patients speedy convalescence. The
imperial physicians, 1t is stated, desire to
move the emperor to another and more
suitable room. but he steadfastly refuses
to permit them to do so. The room now
occupied by his majesty is the one in which
he was horn, and therefore he has a SEN
timontal attachment for 1t.

dered decision relative to the manufac-
ture and sale of alleged medicinal alcoholic

of alcohol is greater than is necessary to
preserve the ingredients, or to extract the

In solution.
Manufacturers of alcoholic medicinal
compounds, malt extracts havoring ex-
tracts, essences and soda water syrups

ucts are within the limits herein defined
and those who put out alcoholic compounds
of doubtful medicinal value, or containing

so at the risk of being required to pay spe-
cial taxes for the manufacture and sale OF

ferred to Attorney General Bonaparte for

pany. Testimony was given last week that
the Southern Pipe Line company had

that the books OF the company showed that
It had never been paid back. Mr.. Brainard
said thar he was the American secretary OF

made 10y the Anglo-American company OF
$217O,OOO in 1905 and S1,427,9OO in 1906 to MI

Mr.. Brainard was asked concerning the
loans made by the Southern Pipe Line
company Of over S2OOOO,OOO to p. s. Trainor.

Trainor reported his loss to the Standard
on company and that the Southern Pipe
Line company reimbursed the Standard for
the losses and charged the amounts to the
account Of p r. Tralnor Mr. Brainard
said he thought the losses were incurred
by Mr. Trainor in the purchase and sale OF
oil. Mt. Brainard said he knew nothing
about the loan made by the Standard OIL
company of New York, aggregating S32,
O61, 500, in 1906, to interests other than
Standard Oil" He said that account came
to him from the treasurer's office. William

tees which Mr.. Kellogg has been desirous
Of obtaining, could be found. Mr.. Brainard
