London, Oct. 10. LONDON FISHMONGER has "jumped the front pages" of the newspapers by a somewhat astonish- ing claim that he is the son and heir of the ill-fated Emperor Maximilian of Mexico. He has been in the fish trade in London for many years under the name of William Brightwell. Enquiries are on foot to establish the truth or otherwise of the romantic claim. '
