Hungarian Ambassador at the Imperial
Couri, has a far-reaching significance for
European politics. 1t means that Austria
Hungary is about to press Germany to make
decided stand against Russian intrigue in
the Balkans, and eventually to recognize
Prince Ferdinand, of Bulgaria. The in
strument 10 accomplish this work will be
Count Ladislaus Won Szogyenyi, the new
Arbassaior whose great personal popu-
Iarity at the Berlin court and pronounced
snti-Russian views, particularly fit him for
the service.
To be sure the Austrian Hungarian Gov
errment has explained that Count Szogy-
en,'s infirmitv is the sole reason for his
re lrement, and the Austro-Hungarian
mogrHpieces in this city have taken pains
20 spread the same explanation in official
circles OF Germany. Yet few people regard
such declarations as otherwise than absurd
,lalkeshifts, for Count Szechenyi is the
Youngest old man in the Austrian-Hunga-
1sn diplomatic service, and his abilities are
s-I unimpaired by age. He has been, more
Cvcr so exceptionally popular in Berlin,
tatn nothing save desire for some innova-
ton in his country's diplomatic policy could
ue responsible for his recall.
Kalnoky's Dislike for Russia.
Count kalnoky has what his people cali
en- "idiosyncras" AGAINST Russia, and in this
he at least is not discouraged by Emperor
Franz Joseph. For many years nothing
caused more irritation in the Vienna
Foreign Office than Prince Btsmarck's re-
rleated declarations that Germany had no
interest In the Balkans His celebrated as
seEIon that the whole Eastern question was
cot worth the bonds of a single Pomeranian
grenRdier ranked in the breasts of Emperor
sr,d lar M a ~
pose to alter this Indifference of the Berlin
Government has been latent in the Foreign
flee ever since. Both have felt that,
Berlin treaty or no Berlin treaty, Germany
should recognize the status quo in Bull
EariG, and not by loud-mouthed declarations
indifference encourage the Russian PAN
avists to make further encroachments
ClOn tie disputed ground
More than once Bismarck's appeal to the
Berlin treaty endangered the Integrity of
Triple Alliance, and rather than run
such risks again, Austro- Hun gary is de-
Cermined to have clear understanding that
Germany shall give at least her moral sup
port to the present Bulgarian regime as
~ ell as to the Autrian occupation of Bosnia
and Herzegovina.
a Big Thorn in Russia's Side.
This occupation is thorn in Russia's side
hardly less painful than Austria -Hungary's
1rien dship with the Coburg Prince and is
the subject of constant agitation by the
Russian pan-Slavist agents. Although Aus
only in trust, they are practically a part OF
TIE empire and Russian or German declara-
JioTs to the contrary. while altering MOTH
ing, tend to increase the difficulties OF gov
erning their intractable people.
The emDa arrassment of the Vienna Gov
trnment in amalgamating these fragments
Cf its Empire Is increased by the attitude of
the sultan, who, always suspicious of Aus
Cria, Is doubly so whenever he hears de-
rrecatorv word frem Berlin. The Sultan re-
CARDS Austria as little less dangerous to him
l.uSSia and Is firmly convinced that
Tvunt halnoky has a covetous eye upon
Salon ca. This apprehension is encouraged
by Russia whenever the Sultan shows dis
position to be friendly with the Triple
Al ance.
This network of intrigue, suspicion and
sn1Ouldering rebellion Count kalpoky thinks
cOu d lie greatly smpified to the advantage
@ Au- tria- Hungary, if the remouest possi-
b5licv Of Il Ge1man-lnssian approachment

Declaring that Russian occupation of Bull
Eal,a would be casus belli. and that the
Coburger Prince was the legitimate ruler of
the country.
Then Russia would be placed in a position
where she must squelch her pans -Slavist agi-
trtors in the Balkan or fight From Count
SErcNenOl halnoky could get little SYM
-athy for these plans. TIE former had be-
come lmbu"d with the Bisrharckian tradi-
tons as to leaving Russia free hand to plot

! face against any innovation. When be
saw thar kalnoky was determined he set
Balkan policy to grief. Thus he placed Kali
rokv I'm 40 awkward position by advocating
in Berlin that Italy and Germany should

treaty which concern the guarantee that the
Pone's temporal power should not be re.
rH-d, SuCa a publication would irritate
beyond cuucilation the reactionary party in
Austria and Hungary, and would upset the
Is. .aaEv Cabinet. if not the Triple Alliance.

Berlin late in this month.

An apra .ently harmless event, which
nevertheless already casts dark political
shadows, is the Wurtemberg celebration on
