LONDON, March ia Vienna dispatch
says that the resignation of Count By
landt- Rheidt. the Austrian minister of war,
which was foccshadowcd in these dis.
patches several weeks ago. and which
was presented on Saturday last, was due
to the fact that the court for q long time,
has not been in accord with Count Kali
ncky's views on many subjects and that
he particularly dissented from the lattcr's
policy as regards Russia. The official
journal up to Saturday persisted in deny
ing that the count was about TO resign,
although n Of their did adj as n saving
clause that II he should retire from the
cabinet it would be merely on account of
i'll health. But it is asserted in military
circles TINT his determination was not due
to any failure it health, but solely to a
Discrimination OF his part to shoulder the
responsibility of a war with Russia. 1t
is also declared that the cx-minister of
war quite recently declared ut a military
council that Austria Hungary had not the
slightest chance of successfully contend
ing with Russia. AS for German coop
Grafton, he insisted that any
unforeseen political complication
might render sich cooperation
ill,is0ry, and that Austria, left to struggle
alone against Russia would inevitably be
crushed. The opposition press and many
of the army officers. nonc of whom are
disposed to he enthusiastic over the Ger
man alliance, received the remarks of the
minister of war with great satisfaction.
Vienna is not 70, far dlstant from the
Galiciah frontier but that the notes of
preparation in Little Russia can be plain
ly heard; and while the ministerial jour
mails continue to show a brave front they
arc far from rei.cctihg The true opinions
os the Viennesc. The provincial news
papers, however, are outspoken in their
dcnunciation. Of the alliance with Ger
many, the Politik, of Prague, going SO
far as TO remind Count Kalnoky that
Count de Beust would never entertain
the proposition of an Austro-G German al
lance, and. demanding that Austria shall
cease TO-. allow herself to be used by
Prince Bismarck as n cats paw. Gen.
Baron Won Bauer, Count Bylandt-
itheidt's successor, is much better known
as the head of the secret police than as a
military man.

friends of the late Gen. Hancock. who
have been raising a fund here to purchase
a home in this city for Mrs. Hancock,
have succeeded and the house is to be

Important i~,ecisicn.

WAeniSerus, March l9.-A decision was
rendered by the United States supreme court
in the ease of Bowman Bros. VS.. Chicago and
Northwestern Railroad company, which in
wolves the validity of the statute of Iowa for
bidding a railroad company to bring intoxi-
eating liquor into the state unless such COM
paDy had been furnished with a certificate
from the county auditor of the county to
which the liquor ls 10 he transferred show
Ing that the 'orslsnsc is legally authorized
to seH Il. The court holds that the power to
regulate Or forbid sales of a commodity after
it has been brought into the state does not
carry with it the right and power to prevent
its introduction by transportation from an
other state. The section Of the love statute
of April :, lsss. r.irA.: prohibits railroad com
i'aa.cs from bringing liquor into the state is
therefore declared to be iavalid, and the
