Tisza's mild warnings TO his countrymen against
sending their wares to Paris arc so many insults
m sensitive French souls. These insults consist
IN suggestions that the Hungarian flag might not
be respected and that disorders might occur in

Minister that he had no right to say such things,
,bat Count KalnolSy was sorry he had said them,
that the French policy is pacific, that never st
any epoch in any country has order been so secure

Whereupon the Vienna papers accuse NJ Goblet
~ suppressing the fact that Count kalnoliy while
recretting that France should feel hurt, declared
that he agreed with all NJ. Tisza had said. They
say. moreover, that as the French Foreign Min
lister has seen fit to make this reply, the hungarian
Prime Minister, who had meant to say something
civil in order to soothe French suscePtiDiltles'
will now be silent
There is nothing very serious in all this, but
the French papers are extremely angry and use
much violent language. They, however, put up
with Prince BismarcR's new passport order quietly

hardly worth contradctng. The personal reia-
tons between Lord Randolph and Mr. Chamberlain
continue intimate. Their political relations are
another matter. Not much is now heard oil the
last new Birmingham plan which Mr. Chamoer-
lan's friends launched for him in an experimental
way. Mr.. Gladstone who ought to be authority
has declared it all moonshine.

Yet the letter of this ignorant man, who in fact
has the whole literature of the Kree-Trade con-
troversy at his fingers ends, is described as an
epoch in the personal history of the Presidential
conflict and as showing the direction the contest
will take.
