VIENNA, Nov. Q, 1871,
When Count Hohenwart was Just on the point OF
carrying his federast pocy to the goal OF victory
Count Bcust stepped in. The result OF the Chancel
lors Intervention was the foil OF H0henwart In the
contest then, between Bohenwart and Beust
Beust came on, beyond question, victorious. This
happened but week ago; and yet, strangest OF
strange events our victor Of but seven days since
is now himself hopelessy defeated. cannot
picture TO pen the frightened astonishment with
which our German organs and German citizens re-
ceived the news OF Beusvs fall the lncreduOus JOY

When Hohenwarr, some time ago, appeared
likely 10 carry OF the victory, Beust handed IN his
resignation. Hoheawart being defeated, everybody
naturally concluded that the resignation was de

Beust was informed that this resignation which he
had sent in some time before, and which he, as
we'll as everybody else had considered Withdrawn,
had been accepted by the Emperor.
WHY WAS BEUsT LET COZ
WHAT secret agency has been at work to produce
this dismssal9 One theory Is that the Sclaves hav

Hohenwart 1t was thought necessary to offer them
some sop. This sop was Beust who Is known to
have been the great enemy OF the Sclave claims.
