May Name Won Jagow
 to Post in Vienna

Berlin, Nov. 22---It is reported with increasing probability that Gott1ieb Von Jagow, the minister of Foreign Affairs, may be appointed ambassa- dor to Vienna to succeed the late Count Won Tschirschky. The possi- btaity has been discussed in diplomatic tircles ever since the death of Von Tschirschky. particularly because it is known that Won Jagow accepted his ministerial post reluctantly and never intended to hold it permanently. !.
 The Tageblatt gives prominence to this report and declares that Cham cell0r Von Bethmann~H Ho1Iweg's visit to army Headquarters is connected with filling the Vienna post.

London, Nov. 22-Emperor Francis Joseph died last night at o'clock at Schoenbrunn Castle, according to a Reuter- dispatch from Vienna, by way of Amsterdam.
 He had been suffering for some time from lung trouble. which few days ago became acute.
 A Geneva dispatch forwarded to Reuters by way of Amsterdam yester- day quoted the Katolische Zeitung as saying the Sacrament was administer ed on Saturday.
 The Emperor retained his extraor- dinary vigor to the end. and his dis inclination to obey the orders of his physician caused them the greatest anxiety. He insisted on giving audi ences daily, and on Sunday conferred with Premier von Koerber for an hour, according to Vienna advices. He was out of bed all day Monday, it is stated, and in the evening received several visitors.
 The first intimation received here that his health was again the subject of solicitation was contained in a dis patch dated Nov. 12, emanating from a Vienna news agency, which report ed that the Emperor had been suffer- ing for some days from a slight ea- tarrha1 affection.
 Subsequent reports from various sources, more or less conflicting, rep resented that his condition was be- coming worse, but none indicated that his illness threatened to reach a crit ical state.
 What gave credence to the sus- picion that his condition was much graver than the official bulletins indi- cated was the report, which still lacks official confirmation, that it had been decided to associate the heir to the throne, Archduke Charles Francis, in the government of the country and that he was to assume the position or Dec. ?, on the sixty-eighth anniver- sary of the Emperor's ascension to the throne.
 So far as is known here, Archduke Charles is still at the front in conn mand of the army.
 The death of Emperor Francis Jo- seph has caused notable emotion in Vienna, says the Exchange Telegraph Co.'s Amsterdam correspondent. The general public was not aware of the serious nature of his illness, according to these advices, because of the non- committal character of the bulletins issued.
 The Emperor, the despatch adds was feverish yesterday afternoon, be- ing unable to eat his evening meal and retired at o'clock. being assisted to his bed chamber by his daughter, Archduchess Valerie. He found him. self unable to sleep and asked that his physician be summoned, complaining of pains in the throat. At g o'clock the Emperor appeared to be in g more restful state. A few moments later. according to the details receiv- ed, the doctors saw him and he made a gesture pointing to his throat. A second afterward he was dead.
 The members of the imperial fam fly were Immediately summoned, as were the officials of state who prepar- ed an announceInent of the death.
 Emperor William was immediately informed of the passing of his ally the messageb eing sent over the tele- phone which links the headquarters of the German army with Schoen- brunn Palace,
 Nothing has yet been decided. it is said with regard to the new En- peror's accession.
