AMICABLE RELATIONS
Exist Between Austria Hungary and Russia Says President
 Banffy.

Buda Pest. May 12.-dn the lower house of the Hungarian parliment today Baron Banffy. the president replying to an interpolation with respect to the recent visit of the Emperor Francis Poseph to St. Petersburg. said: .-
 "Austria-Hungary position towards a,er allies is unified. The triple alliance is not one of those short lived political combinations which cam easily be re- placed by other arrangements The triple alliance constitutes the unchang ble basis of AuStria's foreign policy. It is absolutely peaceful. and therefore allows it's members to enter into friendly agree menss with other. powers.
 Russia, like AustriaLHungary, has de- clared that she is not pursuing selfish ends in the east, but that she has as her only end the maintenance of order, se- curity and the preservation of the status quo. In the light of these facts, I de- clare positively 'alrat Austrfa-Hungary and Russia have identical and harmoni- ous aims in their eastern policies, and she visit of the emperor to St. Petersburg has doubtless helped to foster and strengthen the good relations existing be- tween the two countries" .s.,5
