An Emperor's Indiscreet Utterances on the
European Political Situation.

An Emperor's Indiscreet Utterances on the
European Political Situation.
VIENNA. Nov. Notwithstanding the
denials made by high officials of the state
ment published in the Tageblatt on Satur-
day that the Emperor had declared that
the European situation was critical, that
paper to-day insisted that it's report was
strictly correct. 1t was this report that
was at the bottom of the panic which
prevailed on the Bourse Saturday. The
holders of stocks and bonds. fearing that
the Emperor's words as reported In tho
Tagebla.t presaged war. made wild rushes
to sell and the result was q
decline in prices that has not been equaled
In many years. The Abend Post having
received instructions from the Prime Minis
ter. issued q statement declaring that there
was no truth whatever in the Tageblatts
story. and this denial had the effect OF Civ
ing backbone TO the market, not, however,
until many of those who had thrown their
holdings on a rapidly falling market at any
price they could get, had lost large sums
of money. Some of the more cool-headed
and less credulous members of the Bourse
took no part in the selling movement.
The ragcblstt in its article to-day insists
upon the accuracy OF Its report as pub
hshed Saturday. 1t says that the language
of the Emperor was drawn forth upon the
occasion OF an audience granted by his
Majesty to the president of Polish club.
1t relterates that IN the conversation that
then took place the Emperor used the
words attributed to him by the Tageblatt
on Saturday. which in substance were
that Tho famine which now prevails in
Russia has greatly increased the chances
of war" So confident is the Tageblatt in
the reliability and truthfulness of the per-
son who furnished the information winch
had such serious financial results. that it
has asked the public prosecutor To make O
close and searching investigation as to the
truth Of the article Published on Saturday
and as TO the papers good faith In print
ing the statement.
At meeting of the budget committee to-
day. Count kainOky assured the committee
that the Emperors speech. referred To by
the Tageblatt, ought to cause no uneasi-
ness; that, although the Emperor drew at
the preparations for war and the
talk of peace, the government hoped
that the problem presented by
the strained situation would find
q peaceful solution. Referring to Satur-
days panic on the Vienna Bourse Count
Kalnoky said the public did not under
stand how to take q reasonable view of the
situation: that one serious word. exagger-
ated TO serve private ends, was sufficient to
evoke an urwarranted panic. Count Kali
noky announced that the new commercial
treaties would go into operation on Feb. 1,
1892.
