Peker, of Buda Pest. Hungary, was Mt

"Your people" he said yesterday, do
Hungarians great injustice when you
give that name to the Slavs and Bohe-
mians who come to this country. In

SIT is different with the slays, These
people though living in Hungary pro-
per are not known as nor called IIunga-
rians. They occupy the northern por-
ton OF the country, which is wild,
mountainous and. barren, and incapable
Of providing living for the people in
any way. The land is so poor and bro
ken that no farming is possible, and
the manufacturing establishments in
the south have long since destroyed the
only source OF livelihood the people
ever had, the manufacture OF clothes,
etc, in their own homes by hand. This
system of "hand manufacture" was car.
ried on very extensively, but has lapsed
into nothing. The result is that the
slavs have enigrated. The steamship
agents have gone amongst them ana
contrasted in glowing terms the magnit-
icent prospects Of rich living and high
wages in America with their poverty

SlaHs have left tho country in thous-

fonnd that Hungarians who come TO
America and prosper return home and
re-engage in business or farming. so
they don't make very good colonists.
he cRirIusEs EMPEROR WILLIAM.
Speaking of the regard in which King
William Of Germany was held among
German-spcaking nations, Mr.. Pekar
said:
"Thc genoralfeelingis hathisthought
and action are due to his ineXperience.
His many speeches, in which he so
often alludes to himself as king, soldier
and to W rat he viii do, are all set down
to the same cause, inexperience. 1t Is
generally regarded as a mistake, his re-
moyal Of Bismarck. That 81 soldier
and statesman built up the GcrrIln En-
pire and was his grandfather chosen
friend. II he was worthy OF that conf
dence from the Emperor's two ancestors
he was worthy OF their successors.
1.-THE mystery of Prince Rudolfs
death,n continued Mr.. Pekar, twill
never be revealed as long as Franz Josef
lives. There is scarcely doubt he was
killed. The story lately published In
New York paper is about near tho
actual facts. At the time OF his death
the most conflicting reports we're sent
over the country, and the labored
official bulletin at length issued from
the court as to the cause and attributing
1t to suicide was not accepted by the
public as being the truth, Nobody
said go openly, however. The Emperor
knows the facts and will retain them.
Hapsburg's sister was an exceedingly
beautiful woman and the general i'm.
preston is that the Prince was killed
by the brother.
