OF course there Is no truth in these

wish is father to the thought that there

who would like the public to believe
there Is. The rpet=bHggers, seeing

Hence they have called to their help the
Cabinet wreokers, who are as unsorupu-

The cable dispatches indicate that the
most nervous power in Europe during
the present tcomplicatinns is the Austro.
Hungarian EN- pire. It is reported that
the desire OF the government IL tn form
q coalition with Eug land against Russia
and that Austria may possibly occupy
Bosnia. Austria Is made up Of aptago-
nistic elements. Her population is sus-
ceptible of the following divisions
Germans, 8, ,0o0, 600; Czecbs and Slovaks,
1000. 600; Poles. $500. 900: Ruthemans,
5000, 900; Slovens, 100000 Croats and
Serbs, 100000; Magyars. 5.70O,o00
Italians, 600 600; Roumans, 2.G55,00
Jews, 1.372, 600.
Magyars and Scaves predominate. The
Magyars sympathize with Turkey; the
Sclaves sympathize with their brethren
the Sclaves OF the Turkish provinces
the Germans are not strong enough to
maintain the Imperial government
The public debt OF Austria. exclusive of
the special debt Of Hungary, is 81 $50,
600, and the revenues do not cover the
expenditures. The army, on pence
footing, numbers 300,0 men. The
navy consists OF tfty-seven vessels, Ul
which ten are ironclads. 1t is evident
from this brief statement OF Austria''

According to the st. Petersburg dis

about to en- bark is immensely popular
This patriotism Is somewhat surprising
when it is remembered that the labor
ing classes in Russia have to bear TIE
burden OF taxation. the estates OF tn

template the complete political and e
cial reorganization Of the empire on d
republican basis.
The Sclavonic Committee, which has
been so active in promoting antagonist
to Turkey. is the prime factor in thi;
Socialistic organization. The govern
ment has appreciated its danger from
this internal mass Of dynamite, and
instead OF leaving 1t to explode, has
very wisely fostered the war feeling
and, by welding the country together il
the crusade against the Turks, obtains
control over this most dangerous politi
