EMPEROR FRANCIS
 JOSEPH IS DEAD
AGED RULER OF HUNG AIRY SuccuMREp TO cATARRH- AL ATTACK LAST NIGHT.

London, Nov. 22, 3.41 a. m.-Emperor Francis Joseph died last night at g o'clock at Schoen5runn castle, accord ing to Reuter- despatch from Vienna, by way of Amsterdam.
 The first lntimation received here that Emperor Francis Josephs health was again the subject of solicitation was contained -n despatch dated Nov. 12 emanating from a Vienna news agency, which reported that the em peror had been suffering for some days from slight catarrhal affection.

Fears that the shock Of the assassination of his heir, the Arch duke Francis Ferdinand, and his con- sort while on a state visit to Bosnia on June 18th last, would kill the em- peror were answered in characteristic manner.
