" tBy thr United Press)
.London, Nov.' 22. The' eyes of, Che jtfofld today turned
to Charles Francis Joseph, the new Emperor of Austria
Hungary, Although Vienna so far" has withheld official
confirmation of the death of the aged" Emperor Fram j0
self, his demise is confirmed in various sburces. The new
riiler is twenty-nine years of age, and new is supnosecUy
commanding the Austrian armies in the Carpathians. He
is known to have a good military education, to be demo
cratically inclined, but lacking in diplomatic training. He
assumes the throne at a time when the strongest of men
would have a great task in maintaining the integrity of
the nation.
Rungary is growing restless under the Hapsbiirc-
yoke. The death of the strong figure of the aged mon
arch, it is feared, may result in an increase of Prussian
domination. A mere stripling, unversed in statecraft,
succeed Franz Joser. Germany probably will find him
pliant to Prussian wishes.
The Vienna court is the most formal of all Europe.
Many curious -medieval ceremonies will attend the prepa
ration! of the brigy, the burial, and the interment, and the
crowning of thenew ruler. According to custom, the
heart was removed' today and placed in a separate recep
tacle, later to oe puried with the body.
Sixty-eight years ago, whenthe last previous Ham
burg rider died, his heart was" placed in an urn n.nd pre
served with 55 other urns, each containing the heart of
a member of'the royal family. Franz Josef issued a royal
decree against this ancient custom. '
The body will probably lie in state a wek in the Hof
burg Augustiner church, .four hundred years old. Inter
ment will be in the royal crypt, for four centuries the
keeper Of the Hapsburg dead. Franz Josef will number
the 133rd.
Condition Not Generally Known.
& London, Nov. 22. EmpeTor Fran
cis Joseph died last night at nine o'
clock at Schoenbrunn Castle, accord
ing to a Reuter dispatch from Vi
enna, by way of Amsterdam.
The first intimation 'received here
that Emperor Francis Joseph's health
was again the subject of "olicitude
was contained in a dispatch dated
Nov. 12, emanating from a Vienna
inews agency.JicHclL parted. tr .U
the Emperor had been suffering for
some days from a slight catarrhal af
fection. Subsequent reports from va
rious sources more or less conflict
ing, represented that his condition
was becoming worse, but "none of
them indicated that his illness threat
ened to reach a critical state, and
from Vienna came assurances that
he was still able to give audiences to
one or more ministers dally.
What gave some credence to the
suspicion that his condition was much
graver than the official bulletins in
dicated was the report, which still
lacks confirmation; that it had been I
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 on
December 2, on the sixty-eighth an
niversary of the Emperor's ascension
to the throne.
So far as is known here Archduke
Cnarles is still at the front in com
mand of the army.
Unprecedented Reign.
The death of Francis Joseph is a
remarkable climax to the long list of
tragedies in. the Hapsburg family
a list unparallellel in any, other
reign kig house hi Europe. He die
in the midst' of the world's greatest
war, which he himself largelybrought
about by bis determination to avenge
the act of assassination of his heir,
the Archduke "Francis Ferdinand, as
the' lesult of an all3ged Serbian con
spiracy, 'wTate on a fc3tate visit to
