to Foreign Minister Burian.
In the afternoon his condition grew
worse and in the early evening his

LONGEST REIGN ON RECORD
Francis Joseph Assembled the Throne
Dec. 2, 1848.


London, Nov. 22.-It is doubtful il

authenticated reign longer than that

territorial demesne, while a pickering
family of petty principalities was
welded into united Italy; he saw
Spain, once the greatest Of colonial
powers, lose the last of her depend

opened to Western civilization and
later defeat the sprawling Colossus OF
two continents; he saw the most abso-

Persia-concede representation to the
people; he saw at distance the
United States cement It's federation
with the blood of great internecine
war, and he saw his own brother prove
that monarchy could not take new root
on American soil.

 Native of Stratford.

Frank Booth, the oldest plumber in Bridgeport and proprietor of large business, died this morning at his home, 1345 Park avenue, after a brief illness. Mr..

 It is not expected here that the ex- petition to enter Mexico at least from this point. will be started for several days because of the poor railroad fla cilities with which to concentrate the troops
 Meanwhile, Francisco Villa, with a small body of men, it is reported here, is fleeing further from the United States border daily and into the noun tains which parallel the border of Chihuahua and Sonora toward Guer- rera where his career as an outlaw began. Army men here point out that once back in the mountains among his friends the pursuit of Villa is apt to resemble a game Of hide and seek. Some officers believe that the pursuit may be a matter of months.
