The Unterhaus presented lively ap-
peaTanCe during the Prime Minister'S
speech. The day had been looked for
ward to as an ,eysntful one, the Premier
having several days ago announced his in
tention Of publicly declaring the attitude
decided upon by the Empire towards the
threatened aRgresaions Of Russia In the
Balkans. Every seat in the chamber was
occupied and the galleries were crowded.
Herr Gzza commenced by reiuting the
assumption that Austro. Hungary had
either planned, or had been aware Of, or
in the slightest degree had approved OF,
the plot " depose Prince Alexander.
Neither was Austro-H Hungary aware,

rect from tho Czar, or that Prince Alexan-
der made his stay IN Bulgaria dependent
on the CEar's consent. No agreement
whatever exists between Austro-Hun-
gary and Russia regarding the exsrtion OF
their respective influence either In the
western or eastern portion Of the Balkan
States,
Austro. Hungary firmly adheres to the
Berlin treaty, which, whilst II Is upheld
sufficiently, corresponds with Austro-
Hungary's views, Austro-Hungary has
taken no stepson behalf Of the kldnappers
OF Prince Alexander. As regsrda Austro-
Hungary's alliance with Germany con-
tinued the Premier, "there has been no
change In AustIo.Huugary's foreign re-
lati0ns. We stand with Germany on the
old basis. We have no doubt we shall ba
able to preserve the mutual conditions
necessary to the existence OF each state
without endaugerlng the general :peace.
We regard the Berlin treaty as still In
force, although 1t has been violated In
certain cases, the most serious OF which
occurred last yesr In Eastern Roumelia.
We believe the treaty OF Berlin ougqt 10

power informed US Of its having assumed
a contrary position. Austro.Huugary ad-
heres to her repeatedly declared opinion
that should Turkey claim tho right &C,
corded TO the Balkan peninsula, no other
power would be entitled to resort to armed
Intervention or the ostablishment OF
proteCtorate therei also that no change
in the constitutional or territorial relation
oil Balkan countries can be effected without
the consent OF the powers signatory to the
treaty Of Berlin. These are the outlines
OF our aims, which we hope will be sue.

with the other powers and without dis.
tufbing the peace Of Europe, We shall
not endanger the success OF cur endesyors
by any premature declaration In grandllo-
quent phrases To attain this end We shall
labor with Calmness, which Is doubly
necessary in these critical times. We shall
labor moderately, but at the same time
with eRrnestness and repolItion,
When Herr TEXa finished he was
greeted with cheers from all parts Of tho
house.
