INDIAN TROOPS.

attention to the question whether such move
ment previous to notifying Parliament is con-
stitutlonal. The opposition, however, will not
move any resolution on the subject in the
House of Lords, and Lord Hartington's resolu-
him not intended to raise the question of the
policy of using Indian forces, bnt mere legal
issue.
The Times says when it is annaunesR hcfere-
hand that the leader of the opposition IN the
lower house will not raise the question of
policy, and when the principal lawyer of the
party in the House of Lords will not throw his
objections into the form of a resolution a
mere discussion of the constitutional law of
the case would be more suitable for the society
The fact is the issues of the present crisis have
passed beyond the control of even the British
parliament. The general policy of the govern
ment has received, at its most critical stage,
the support of the country, and the ministry
have accordingly taken steps which leave the
next turn of events in other hands.
AUsTRIA's POSITION.
The statement of Prince Aursperg and Herr
Tisza in the Austrian Reichsrath and Hungarian
Diet, respectively, are well received in Vienna,
and made favorable impression here. It is
believed they indicated, beyond doubt Austria's
intention to oppose Russia, so that if England
is compelled to go to war, she will do SO under
more favorable circumstances than were
recently hoped. It is also believed Austria's
attitude at this moment will have favorable
influence on the negotiations at st. Petersburg.
Herr Tisza, in the course of his speech, said the
government had no intention to act against but
rather in concert with Turkey in Bosnia The
ministers could not say in detail what they
wanted money for, but broadly it was
northern, southern and eastern frontierss ua sne
and to increase the number of troops to be safe
against surprise. Part of the money has al
ready been used as measures necessary to Sc
cure the Carpathean passes. Regarding the
state OF affairs in Roumania. Tisza said reports
were rather exaggerated, but not .groundless.
The government knew what was going on there,
and though it had no reason to suspect hostile
design, he thought it unsafe to explain what
was pa ssing on either side Of the frontier, but
he did think it necessary to take precautions in
Pennsylvania.
HoEDELs CRIME.
BERLIN, May 15.-At the reception Of minis
ters yesterday the Emperor said such occarren-

be treated too lightly. At the time when he
was himself member of the ministry, he had
always insisted upon the danger which would
result from the triumph of the tendencies of
the period hostile to the State. His apprehen-
still higher degree the duty Of the government
to make every exertion to prevent sevolStion-
ary elements from gaining the upper hand.
Before the police Hoedel reiterates his asser-
tlon he did not shoot at the Emperor, but sew
eral witnesses dcpose they saw him aim at his
majesty. It is expected his trial before the
high court will begin shortly. The penalty for
the crime is death.
