Vienna, June 29.-Careworn and
feeble, Emperor Francis Joseph ar
rived at IL today from his summer
palace at lschhl. A great crowd
awaited him at the station and with
barred heads welcomed him in quiet
sympathy and respect, because of the
assassination of his nephew, Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand, yesterday
On account of the shock, coupled with
his advanced age of So years, grave
fears are felt that the emperor will
relapse into serious illness. He was
driven directly to the palace.

els Ferdinand, nephew of Emperor
Francis Joseph and neir to the Aus
trian throne, and the Duchess of
