AUSTRIAN EMPER0R'S
 CONDITION IMPROVED
Francis Joseph Passes Comfortable
 Aight, Says Official Bulletin.

Vienna, Austria, April 2o.-"The Emperor Francis Joseph passed a fairly comfortable night. His health otherwise is not unsatisfa ctory.'
 This was the official bulletin issued today at the palace of Schoenbrunn. It also was stated that his majesty rose at his usual early hour and tram sacted official business.
 The imperial doctors bulletin is- sued earlier in the morning said:
 "For a fortnight his majesty has been suffering from intermittent hoarseness and catarrh of sthe bron- chial tubes, but without any feverish symptoms. On Saturday, however, his majesty was seized with an at- tack, of shivering. His temperature rose and there was also an accumula- ton of thick mucus in the smallest air passages of the upper lobe of the right lung"
 The guarded language of the of- hcial bulletin caused apprehension in Vienna that the emperor's condition was graver than was admitted by his physicians. Fear was expressed in court circles that unless the catarrh from which he Is suffering diminishes within a short time serious compli- cations may develop.
 Archduchess Marie Valerie. the emperor's daughter. arrived at Schoenbrunn today from Walicee.
 Beginning tomorrow official bulle- tins as to his majesty's health are to be issued daily through the premier's office In Vienna and Budapest.
