All It's Bearings.
Vienna, May 12.-Emperor Francis Jo-
seph to-day gave an audience to Baron
Banffy, the Hungarian prime minister,
and they discussed the political situation
in all its bearings. Baron Banffy urged
that a formal complaint be made to the
vatican in respect to the action of Mgr
Agliardi the papal nuncio at Vienna,
whose denunciation of the ecclestiastical
bill made imminent a crisis in the Hun
garian ministry and brought about the
resignation of Count Kalnoky, the imperi-
al foreign minister, which, however the
emperor refused to accept.
Baron Banffy also urged that the en-
peror should make a public declaration
of his confidence in the ministry, con-
tending that this course was necessary
TO allay the discomfort that prevailed in
Hungary.
The emperor said that the question was
a difficult one to settle satisfactorily ana
that he would take time to consider the
matter before he took action.
