DEATH OF EMPEROR FRANCIS JOSEPH WAS PEACEFUL Passed Away as if Slee| Vienna, Nov. 22, 12.0 p. m. via London, 10.85 p. m—The death of Em- peror Francis Joseph last night occur- Ted at 9.05 o'clock. The end was peaceful, the aged monarch passing away as If sinking into sleep. Among those in the death chamber at Schoenbrinn Castle was the heir- apparent, Archduke Charles Francis foseph. Shortly after midday there was an appreciable rise in the emperor's tem- g:'r:ltllre. Although the emperor had about early to attend to state duties and had eaten a light meal, it ‘was evident after 2 o'clock that a crisis was approaching. About 6 o° efock in the evening the attending physiclans were almost ready to aban- don hope, the emperor lapsing slowly into unconsciousness. The emperor had been suffering from a bronchial inflammation, but pneumonia developed and suddenly reached a critical stage and from six o'clock ‘on the chances of the patient surviving grew slimmer. Baron Bur- fan, who, in addition to being foreizn minister, is also minister of the im- perial and royal household, was sum- moned. He left' the sick chamber a little after eight o'clock, but hardly had reached his office when the death of_the emperor was announced. The death of Francis Joseph was known to but few people In Vienna last night, but rumors which had been in ecirculation during the day cast a gloom over the city. Comment in the newspapers volced' regret tha tthe emperor had not been long enough to see the end of ‘war, which, according to the ac- cepted view here, nobody regretted more than he, as he never tired of as- suring his intimates.
