offered Him New Years Congratulations.
Pesth. Jan. 1.-The liberal members
of the diet today waited on Premier
Tissea anc offered him New Year con-
eratulations. Finance Minister Sea-
pay, who acted as spokesman, referred
to the services of Herr Tissea and ex-
pressed the absolute confidence of the
liberals in him as a leader assuring
him of the full support of the party in
his foreign policy. Herr Tessia in his
reply said:
In the foreign political situation the
alliance of central European powers
offers most prominent guarantee of
peace; and history records various
alliances which as a rule were only
concluded for purpose of conquest and
compared with such alliance to
a grerter value must be attached
one which does not seek to conquer or
destroy anything, aiming morally to
secure peace in the interest of human
ity and the progress of nations. l may
without risk of disappointing give eX-
preston to the hope that with this al
lance and in view of the fact that
lutely DESTROYS of war we shall sucseed
in preserving this year the blessings of
peace. Cheers.
Herr Tissea's hopeful tone agrees
with the opinion of leading diplomats
and military men in Austria, that
peace will continue a year. This
belief is based chiefly on the renewal
of armaments and the adoption of new
repeating rifles, new explosives, ETC.,
coniOined with attendant re-
forms in military drill and
tactics. These changes are
considered sufficient to prevent any
power from taking the field perfectly
equipped for number of months.
Austrian and German watchers of Rus
sian preparations concur in declaring
that Russia in spite of her recent efforts
to continue in a state of military
disorganiZation and that her cavalry
and artillery would be unable to face
to Austrian forces alone if war should
be declared, in Russia and Poland is
certain to be carried without a
fications as Cracow and PreZmyrsl are
| among the strongest in Europe, the
Gar is conscious of his weakness and
| is not likely to provoke a war. Herr
Tissea declaration is therefor hailed as
an assurance of wears peace.
Nevertheless Russia is prepan
ing to face the contingency of an
immediate conflict, although the from

Reports from Galaria refer to the
dreadful sufferingS of the Russians on
the frontier, who are said to be badly
sheltered and i'll fed.
