FOSTER TRIPLE PACT. Emperor of Russia Promises to Main tain His Relations with Allies.


 Budapest, May 13.-"As in the past, so in the future, the constant endeavor of my government will be directed to fostering close relations with one allies, as we'll as feelings of confidence with all other powers, thus contribut- ing to the maintenance and consolida- tion of European peace"
 This was the most interesting pas sage, from a general international view point, in the reply of Emperor Francis Joseph to the address of the delegations of Austria-H Hungary at the reception held in the castle at Buda.
 The emperor also made brief but important reference to the Balkan sit uation, saying:
 Our unvarying and friendly unde:- standing with the Russian empire con- corning events in the near east is con- ducive to the continued maintenance of order and tranquility in those re- gions."
 He also referred to the necessity for increased expenditures for the artil- lery. for improving the naval stations, and for dispensable increases in the personnel of the fleet and of the con struction of ships"
 The delegation promised full consid- eration of the increased demands for the army, and of the expenditure re- quired for the development of inter- nal industry and agriculture, and for ! fostering foreign trade relations so as to enable Austra- Hungary to compete with the nations of the world. Subsequent to the meeting of the delegations, Count Goluchowski, the Austro- Hungarian minister of foreign affairs, in his opening adress, said:
 ''Tke enormous rise and daily grow ing importance of the United States from the standpoint of imperial policy, in addition to our growing interests in America in connection with our many subjects residing there, show it is no longer advisable to delay elevating the rank of our representative at Washing ton to equality with the representa- tives of other great powers"
 The imperial foreign minister was confident the delegations would ap- prove this, since the steps accorded with the wishes expressed in both the United States and Austria-Hungary.

A RUMOR THAT
 SHOULD BE RAGGED.

Without any visible means of sup port a rumor was started Saturday in Fl Paso, that 5000 rifles had been confscated recently by the Mexican officials at Cananea.
 By telephone yesterday numerous in quiriies were made in Naco. and each brought forth a reply that nothing was known about the matter there.
 Several weeks ago about a dozen rifles were confscated by customs of ficials while an attempt was being made to smuggle them across the bor- der. Since that time nothing has transpired that could be used for foun- dation for the Fl Paso report.
 Colonel Kosteriitzky who is now in the northern part of Sonora, and was a few days ago at Cananea is report ed to have said that the report is false. It is thought to have come from al unreliable source.
 There are various causes that might prompt arms to be secreted at Cana nea. The first is fear on the part os the Mexican government of strike of miners A revolutionary party might attempt to overthrow the government and annex Sonora to the United States.
 If there should be any truth in the finding of the arms, it's importance would depend largely upon from where they came. Fl Paso papers claim that they passed through that city short time ago, apparently en route to one of the Central American republics. Should Americans attempt to secretly take arms into Mexico, min ing titles might be seriously affected
