The Vienna Papers Touch the Pfesl-

 Vienna, Dec 5.-The papers here generally criticise the United States Chinese policy as outlined in Presi- dent McKinley's message to Congress. While admitting the great influence Washington has exercised with the European powers the official F'remden- blatt complains that the United States appears unable to compensate individ- ual foreigners for infringement of their rights. while the Neues Weiner Tag blatt touching on the same subject. asks if President Mckinley Showed the same solicitude in the case of the Austro-Hungarians who lost their money, health and lives in the United States. as he now shows with refer ence to Austro-Hungarians arrested for evading military service.
