A NODUS NIXENpI.

The two divisions of the Austro- Hun
garian monarchy. after a protracted
Wrangle over the question Of renewing
the Ausgleich, are about to patch up a
modus vivendi, which will run to 1907.
Under the Ausgleich are regulated the
commercial and financial relations Of the
two inseparable-but, seeing that each
has a Parliament, Constitution, and a
ministry of its own, practically indepen-
dent-nations, and these relations are
reached by mutual concessions. The
Ausgleich was first adopted in 1867 for a
period Of ten years. was renewed without
trouble in 1877 and again in 1887, but failed
of renewal in 1897, owing TO the position
taken by the Austrians that the Hunga-
rians were not willing TO bear their share
Of the joint expenses Of the hyphenated
monarchy.
a deadlock occurred, but was finally
broken by provisional extension. though
much bitter feeling was engendered, and
it became a foregone conclusion that I'M
qualified renewal was impossible. By the
modus vivendi in sight, Hungary it is
said. will gain a great victory, for Austria
practically comedies all the former de-
mands. This. however, Is not surprising
It represents only another long stride In
the direction Of the Magyar's complete
domination Of the affairs Of the polyglot
possessions Of the Hapsburgs.
