HUNGARY PLEASED.
PEsTH, Nov. 10-The speech made by
Lord Salisbury at the Lord Mayors ban
quet strengthens the position of Count
kalDoky. The feeling in the Hungarian
delegation is becoming composed and the
members appear less distrustful OF Count
Kalnoky. The Magyar delegates express
hope that the speech pOrtends fresh
grouping of the powers similar to that
which Count Andrassy evoked at the Ber-
lin congress. A committee OF the delega-
tiOn will meet to- morrow, Count Andrassy
presiding. 1t is probable the committee
will demand that the imperial govern
ment resist the establishment of an ex-
cldsively Russian influence in Bulgaria.
sALIsBURY's DEFIANCE.
LONDON, Nov. 10.--The Times saws:
Lord Salisbury's language in regard to
Bulgaria is the same as Mr.. 6 adstone
might be expected 10 use. The most sig
nlticant passage ie that in reference to an
agreement to support Austria. The only
necessity now is that Herr Kaln0ky make
known that Austria is determined to Op-
pose Russian ambition in terms that can.

st, Petersburg newspapers daily pub
lish reports of crimes and atrocities prac-
ticed on RussOphiles in Bulgaria.
ST. PETERSBURG PAPERS SILENT.
LONDON, Nov. II, 3 A. MA dispatch
from st. Petersburg says that up to late
hour last night not word of Lord Sails
0ury's speech had been published in tnat
city. The German and Austrian press
generally comment favorably on the ut
terances OF Lord Salisbury as tend ding TO
preserve the peace. Many papers, how
ever, withhold decided expressions OF
opinion, as they are awaiting the
statement of Count KalnOky, who
is expected to throw light upon the An
glo-Austrian entente.
The Standard, commenting on the cleo
ton of Prince Waldemar, says 1t is
scarcely probable that the election will
dissipate the threatening clouds.
FRANCE UNDERSTANDS 1T.
PARIS, Nov. 10.-The statement by the
Marquis OF Salisbury at the Lord Mayors
banquet in London last night that Eng
land meant to remain in Egypt until her
work in that country was completed has
made a profound impression in French
political aud financial circles.
La National, France, and other news
papers, say they consider that the speech
settles the question OF evacuation, and
shows that England's determination is to
make the occupation OF Egypt indefinite
and protracted.
