EMPEROR OUT OF DANGER.
Francis Joseph of Austria Improves
in Condition.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
VIENNA, December 3O.-It was definite
ly learned this evening that Emperor
Francis Joseph, whose illness during the
past two weeks gave rise to widespread
anxiety, had passed the danger point and
is on the road to recovery.
Following the announcement today,
that by order of the court physicians.
the aged monarch would not attend the
New Year reception planned for the royal
circle and that ms place would be taken
by the heir apparent, Francis Ferdinand,
reports were circulated that Francis
Joseph had suffered a relapse. When 1t
became known that the emperor had can
celed this engagement on orders from
his doctors merely to rest up, the news
lost most of it's serious effect.
