copyrighted 1897 by Associated Presso
London, Dec 4.-International ques-
tons have been temporarily over.fnad-
owed by the gravity of the situation in
Austria, where things are as gloomy as
imaginable. In addition to the immi-
nence Of a civil war, the next few hours
may possibly witness historic revolu-
ton in the relations between Austria
and Hungary, which might mean the re-
construction Of the map Of Europe. II
is hardly an exaggeration TO say that
the factions are drawing up like con-
tending armies. The Germans have ap-
pealed to their compatriots on both
sides of the frontier and are apparently
prepared to run all risks tc keep the
mated Czechs in subjeetion. The Czechs
make no secret of the fact that their
final aim is to abolish the dual empire
and to make it a triple empire by plac-
ing Bohemia on equal footing with Aus
tria and Hungary. To grant these de-
mands would set Hungary on fire and
destroy the foundations of the present
imperial system. 1t looks as though the
employment OF force is the only solu-
ton Of the question; but against which
faction will it be used?
The question of the provisional Ausg
lich bill (or agreement to proiong for a
year instead Of ten years the compact
between Austria and Hungary, pending
arrangement. for longer compscD is,
if possible, question more grave than
the threatened civil war. The Hungar-
ian diet mas given Baron Won Gautsch
Won Frankentllurn, the Austrian pre-
mier, until Monday next in which to
state whether he can reasonably expect
the Ausglich bill to pass. and, failing
decisive answer, Baron Banffy, the Hun
garisn premier, will introduce on Mon
day a bin whereby Hungary will act in
dependently az regards the duties to
be levied, continuance Of commercial
relations with Austria and the charter
Of the Au.tria-Hungarian bank. The
compact between the two portions OF
the dual state thus lapses and, though
the status quo may be maintained tenn
porariiy, Hungary will establish her
claim to the right of independently dis
posing Of these questions. 1t is easy to
see that victory will only whet the Hun
garians' appetite and that it will be but
a snort step to the dissolution of Austria,
which, in turn, will hurl Europe into a
furnace of terrible possibilities.
Apparently the only hope OF escape is
that the personal ascendancy OF the old
emperor will once again enable him to
solve an apparently impossible situation.
Failing in this, the reicshsrath will be
dissolved and reign of absolutism will
begin in Austria and, technically, Hun
gary will have resumed her independ-
ence, the first step toward federated,
as distinguished from a dual, Austrro-
Hungarian mOparc

ANYTHING FOR MORE ARMY
British Government Supporters Even Raise
the Invasion Bugaboo

London, Dec 4.-The army bin takes
precedence over all others in the coming
session OF the British parliament. and
the government is preparing TO force the
measure through before Easter. The in
creased amounts required viii probably
exceed any budget surplus which may
exist, but there will be no objection,
even upon the part OF the Little Eng
landers." The question OF raising a iarg-
er army for Great Britain is the topic
Of the hour, and even the bogey of the
possibility of an invasion has been rails
ed. All the Conservative and many OF
the Liberal speeches are largely devoted
to shetcsling the possible combinations
of tn powers against Great Britain. with
the view OF convincing the public OF the
necessity of militarism.
Sir Arthur B. Farwood, Bart, Conserv-
ative member of parliament for the
Southwest division Of Lancashire. in a.
speech al Liverpool. on Tuesday, in dis
cussing Great Britain'e frictions and the
attitude Of the other powers toward
Great Britain, spoke or the foreign pol
icy of the United States being difficult
to forecast. Speaking broadly, he ex-
planned that the United States would be
slow TO draw the sword in any quarrel
excepting with herself, but, at the same
time he added:
Her domestic and political divisions
are so keen, her politicians are. so un-
scrupulous as to the means they use to
injure their opponents and their press is
so sensational that any day the United
States might unwlttingly and without
real intent be found in conflict with some
other power.
"At the bottom OF the Americans heart
there is regard for England; but their re-
CARDS are SO overloaded with old preju-
dices that We could not with reasona-
Die certainty calculate on which side Of
an issue the great American republic
might stand"

Republicans here. The Sixteenth ward
club yesterday drew up resolutions to tt

that theF would withdraw from the Re

The protest 10 be presented declares
that Detnas v as elected as a delegate to
the st Louis convention as Reed man,
and after pledging himself to vote for
Reed; that he wrote to Reed that he would
support him; that he solicited money at
the same time from the Mckinley man
agtrs In the North to pay the railroad
fares and hotel bills Of the delegates at
st. LOUIS, and pocketed it, the delegates
not getting a cent.
he is also charged in the protest with
selling his vote st various times to tht

The nomination of Demas has badly

every Republican paper in the State re
