No Truth ip Attempted Assassination
of Emperor Francis Joseph.

Vienna, Sept. cit is officially
stated that there is no truth in the re-
ports of the attempted assassination
of Emperor Francis Joseph. An old

OF presenting petition. which led
to some confusion and the circula-

had been made on the life of his
majesty.
Private information on the subject
corroborates the official statement
that no attempt was made to assas-
slnate the emperor.

see fit.
The last proposal for a copmittee

fore noon Thursday. The union men,
bers were told that nothing would be

ing to abide by the decision of the
