instance OF Prince Bismarck, was quite in.
compatible with the laws of the Empire.
Herr Won Schelling, the new Minis or
OF Justice, reminded the House how the
Progressist journals had at first clamored
for the publication of the indictment.
Their demands, he said, had not influ-
enced the course taken by the Govern
ment, which perceived that il was only
by giving publicity to the document that
the country would be enabled to see that
there was no material divergence of opin-
ion between public prosecutor and the
imperial tribunal, and that the tribunal
regarded the objective existence OF treason
as moved. Although the document pub.
lished was called an indictment, it was in
reality an objective statement OF facts.
The tribunal only differed with the new
public prosecutor on minor points. If
there was any flaw in the Indictment Il
was due TO there being no law to bring the
accused to justice for committing an un-
exampled breach OF trust. Herr Won
Seedlings response impressed the House
with his tact and Clearness OF exposition
in dealing with such difficult matter.
The question Of succession To the
Austrian throne is causing increasing ex-
element in official and diplomatic circles.
The papers quote an article from the Italia,
the official journal of Signor Crispi, the
Italian Prime Minister, declaring that the
Sallc law had been virtually abandoned in
Austria Hungary since the pragmatic
sanction; therefore Crown Prince Ru.
dolph's daughter is the heir TO the throne.
II is certain that Siguor Crispi does not
relish the prospect OF the heir of the Duke
OF Modena, who was disposicsscd by the
uninhcation OF Italy, should become the
presumptive heir to the throne OF Austria.
Furthermore, both Archduke Karl end
his son Franz are ultra Catholic foes of the
house OF Savoy aud enemies OF Italian
unity, and are ardent allies OF the Vatican.
Apart from these enmities. even il class
interests did not raise the question OF sue
ccssion, il would he doubtful il official
opinion here would maintain the right OF
Emperor Francis Joseph in following
precedent TO declare, through an act OF
succession, the Princess Elizabeth the
heir TO the throne
Adyces from Pesth say that the ques-
ton already engages the anxious attention
OF the ministers, although no official
notification respecting the succession will
be made until the end OF the year. The
Government organ, the Potr lloyd,
vaguely suggested yesterday the right OF
Princess Elizabeth TO succeed 10 the throne.
The Vienna press in the meantime treats
the right Of Archduke Karl rs ncontcst-
able. Austrian politicians share in the
existing arrangement OF the public mind.
When the excitement ahatcs and a clearer
vision comes OF the results OF Rudolph's
death, it will be seen that IL involves u
probability Of formidable conflict over
the succession.
