IoNp IN, Oct 2.-The face Of European politics
has been changed by Herr Tiszas speech in the
Hungarian Parliament. Perfectly decorpus IN form
since he has nothing of fear about him. the Hun
sarian Prime Minister'S declarations were in sub
stance sufficiently meuacing to send down stocks
OH all the bourses of Europe. The speech is Doti-

To-,lay's dispatches from Sophia give conflicting
accounts of what is actually passing between Cen
erai Kaulbers and the Bulgarian Regency. One
correspondent asserts tbaC submission is the order
of tue day. Another usually accurate says that the
Regency, while avoiding point-blank refusal

There has not yet been time for Herr Tiszas speech
TO take full effect.

the Parncllte leaders multiply. Mr. Dillons dec

caution. Various letters aud other pieces of evl-

Nh. Gladstone has followed up his Home Rule

National Liberal Federation of Scotland. rather
Radical than Liberal, had already seized on the
hints in Mr. GladstoDe's pamphlets, issned mani
