TISZA TALKS TO THE DIET.
PEsTH, Sept. 80 Prime Minister
Tiszs, replying to interpretations for the
Government In the Lower House Of the
Hungarian Parlisment to day, said
that Austro-H Hungary intended to pre-
vsnt any single power from establish
| ing prote ctorate over Bulgaria 1--WE
want independence among the Balkan
ttates, he continued, "without having
any covetous designs towards any Of
them. No community Of interests ex-
lists in the Balkans. Austro- Hungary
will not allow any single power to make
armed interference in Bulgaria and ear
nes:ly intends to follow this policy dur
l ing these critical times"
The Unterhaus presented lively Rp.
pearance during the Prime Minister q
speech. The day had been looked for
ward TO as an eventful one, the Premier
having several days ago announced hif
intention of publicly declaring the atti'
tude decided upon by the Empire
toward the threatened aggressions Of
Russia in the Balkans. Herr Tisza com.
inenced by refuti1g the assumption that
Austro- Hungary had in the slightest
degree approved of the plot to deposs
Prince Alexander. Neither was Austrc
Hungary aware, he continued, tha
Prince Alexander regarded his crowr
ms having been received direct from tn,
Gear, or that Prince Alexander mad
his stay in Bulgaria dependent on tn
Czar's consent.
"No agreement whatever exists,
Herr Tisza said, "between Austro. Hun
gary and Russia regarding the exertiol
OF their respective influence either II
the western or the eastern portion of th,
Balkan States. AustI O. Hungary firml!
adheres to .he Berlin treaty which
whilst it is upheld, sufficiontly CORE
sponds with Austro Hungary's inter
ests. Austro. Hungary has taken NJ
steps on behalf of the kidnappers O.
Prince Alexander. She has merely
warned Bulgaria il her own interes
against the adoption of any hasty reso
luton and the results that would b
lsure to ensue therefrom. In 1868
stated in reference to the Eastern ques
tion that IL was my private opinion
that In event of changes occurring II
the East our interests would requir,
that the nations inhabiting that portion
of Europe should form themselves int
independent states according to theil
separate individualities. This opinion
is now shared by the Austro- II ungarial
foreign ministry.
"As regards Austro- Hungary ALI
lance with Germany" continued the
Premier, I'VE stand on the old basis
We have no doubt We shall be able Il
preserve the mutual conditions neces
sary to the existence OF each state with
out endangering the general peace.
When Herr Titza finished he wat
greeted with cheers from all parts of th'
house.
A REPLY POSTPONED.
SOPHIA, Sept. 3O-The Bulgarian
Ministry have decided to postpon,
their reply to Ruseia's note. The min
