Temoe Pekar, of Buda Pest, Hungary,
was at the Monongahela yesterday. Mr..
Pekar is legal student, with the qualifica-
tion of IL. D., who has been travelling
through the country for the past six months.
While his visit is Of a pleasure character,
his main object is to acquire information
relative to the institutions of the country,
and the practical application of Republi-
can form Of Government.
"Nour people, he said yesterday, "do
Hungarians great injustice when you give
that name to the SlavS and Bohemians who
come to this country In point of fact very
few Hungarians do come over here for the
reason that they have no especial incentive
10 do so. The Hungarians are generally a
well-to-do people, engaging in manufactures
and farming, and being prosperous have no
motive to emigrate.
NO WONDER SLAvS EMIGRATE-
'It is different with the Slavs. These
people though living in Hungary proper
are not known as nor called Hungarians.
They occupy the northern portion 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 broken that no farming is possible,
and the manufacturing establishments in
ihe south have long since DESTROYED the
only source of livelihood most of the people
mad, the manufacture of clothes etc, in
their own homes by hand. This system
OF hand manufacture" was carried on very
extensively, but has lapsed into nothing
The result is that the Slavs have en-
iCratcd. The steamship agents have gone
amongst them and contrasted in glowing
terms the magnificent prospects of rich
living and high wages in America with their
poverty al home Believing in these men
the Slavs have left the country in thousands,
only to find things very diffesent here to
what they were painted. 1 have found that
Huucarians who come to America and pros
per return home and re-engage in business
or farming. SO they don't make very good
colonistS."
HE CRTTICISEs EMPEROR WILLIAM.
Speaking of the regard in which King
William Of Germany was held among Ger
mau-speakinC nations, Nh. Pekar said:
The general feeling is that his thought
and action are due 10 his ineXperience. His
many speeches. in which he so often alIudes
TO himself as king, soldier and to what he
lneNperience. 1t is generally regarded as a
mistake, his removal of Bismarck That
old soldier and statesman built up the
German Empire and was his grandfather's
chosen friend. If he was worthy of that
confidence from the Emperor's two ances-
tors he was worthy of their successors.
The mystery of Prince Rudolf's DEATH"
continued Mr.. Pekar. will never be re-
Veaied as long as Franz Josef lives There
is scarcely a doubt he was killed. The
story lately published ina New York paper
is about near the actual facts. At the time
of his death the most conflicting reports
were sent over the country, and the labored
official bulletin at length issued from the
court as to the cause and attributing it to
suicide was not accepted by the public as
being the truth. Nobody said SO openly,
however. The Emperor knows the facts
and will retain them. Hapsburg's sister
was an exceedingly beautiful woman and
the general impression is that the Prince
was killed by the BROTHER
