rushed into the streets and cried and

THE HUNGARIAN CRISIS.
VIENNA, Sept. 17.-Emperor Francis
Joseph, who today returned from the
army maneuvers, has Issued an impor-
tant army order, emphatically declar-
ing that he will never consent to the
demands of the Hungarian party, who
insist on the use of their own language
by officers in giving commands to the
Hungarian section of the forces. The
Emperor's order caused an immense
sensation in Austria and in Hungary
The pathetic assurance that he will
never give up his rights and preroga-
tives as chief commander sounds like
a war proclamation against the Hun
garian national army demands. The
impression caused by the imperial or
der is almost indescribable. Hitherto
the Emperor has been regarded as the
most silent monarch in Europe. Never
before, even in the gravest constitu-
tional conflicts, has he used such Ian
guage as contained in today's order
1t is taken elsewhere as being the !.e-
ginning of a conflict between the throne
and the Hungarian Parliament.

ROTHSCHILD'S VIEWS.
| LONDON, Sept. 1S.-Lord RothschiId
was interviewed today as to the prob
able effect on the empire, especially in
| the national finances, of Mr.. Chamber
| lain's resignation. He said to a rep
resentative of the Associated Press:
Il am not saying he has resigned.
but the announcement would not~sur-
prise me. The Duke of Devonshire re-
mains in the Cabinet, and Mr.. Bal
tours enunciated policy, which I take
to mean no taxes on food or raw ma
terial, in the near future, at any rate,
seems popular. Over a million copies
of his pamphlet have been sold or ap-
piled for. Mr. Chamberlains resigna-
ton would not affect consols. If the
Duke of Devonshire had gotten out
and Mr.. Balfour had not put his policy
before the country, it might have been
serious.
why should not Mr.. Chamberlain
resign? He believes his zollverein is
essential to the empire. He cannot &c
on campaigning for it and remain il
the Cabinet. Therefore, if he continues
to want the zollverein he must WORK
for il outside"
