Vienna, oct. i3.-Tlc condition of
emperor Francis Joseph showed Il

siderable fever ana some signs of
apathy. His Majesty passed his time i'll

1t can no longer be concealed that the
Emperor is seriously i'll. He is suffer-
ing from bronchitis. accompanied by
fever. but Inflammation through the
back are growing and occasionally
nervous spells occur. The doctors. how
ever place confidence in the strong
constitution of the aged patient.
The Emperor'S nature is that of Il
soldier. He diSlikeS to admit being ill
and causes the doctors much trouble
by opposing their directions. His devo-
ton to duty cxcites the admiration of
the court. Today he rose at 4.30. as

signed documents and personally re-

The doctors begged him to return to
bed and take q longer rest. but he re-
fused and seated himself in Il chair
where he appeared to rest comforta-

Later the Hungarian premier, Dr.
Weckerle. was also admitted to the
