With Hungarian Army.

The demand for the adoption of the
Hungarian language is merely part and
parcel Of this campaign. which has for
it's object TO render the Hungarian part
of the military forces OF the empire dis
tinct national Hungarian army by itself.
Now this is contrary, not only TO the
terms of the compromise of 1867 regu-
lating the relations between the Austrian
empire and the Hungarian kingdom,
army should be common to the entire
dual empire, and its command and con-
troll vested in the Emperor King but
also opposed to the stipulations of the
Hungarian constitution, which embodied
that particular portion OF the compro-
mise relating to the common army.
Francis Joseph therefore feels that
any compliance with these demands on
the subject of the language would prove
a notable step in the direction OF the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the army. and in the
diminution of it's efficiency. For 1t natu-
rally follows that IL Magyar were TO be
adopted for the language of command in
the Hungarian regiments. the same con-
cession would have to be made in course
of time to the other sixteen or seven
teen different races subject to the rule
of Francis Joseph, and which each have
a language OF their own. Even in the
so-called Hungarian moiety of the COM
mon army. which consists of SOME forty
seven regiments. only four are composed
exclusively of Magyars.

Trouble in Languages.

The cause OF the actual trouble in
Hungary is a question of languages. To
put the matter briefly, the Hungarian
majority in the national legislature at
Budapest demands that IN all the reg
iments OF the Hungarian moiety of the
common army of the dual empire. Mag
var instead of German should be used
IN giving the words OF command They
do not ask that Magyar should take the
place OF German in the higher grades Of
the service. or that general orders 10
field officers should be couched in other
langusge than German, but merely that
from the colonel downward the officers
OF all the Hungarian regiments should
give their commands in Magyar. They
add that II is unreasonable that officers
in command of Hungarian regiments.
who have sometimes lived for two or
three decades In Hungary. should have
never taken the trouble to learn Magyar
and that their inability TO speak the
language of the country in which they
have been stationed constitutes an af-
front to its people.
While there is a certain amount of
pleusloflity In these arguments, and the
concession demanded of the Emperor ap-
pears at first sight one of so little i'm
portance that it could readily be grant
ed, there are a number of other ques-
items involved which render IL quite i'm
possible for the Emperor to give way in
the matter. While Hungary Is not only
ir theory. but also by the terms OF her
constitution, nation with a King.
government and a parliament OF her
own, her army constitutes a fragment of
the polygot forces of the empire Ever
since the relations Of the two states,
that Is 10 say, OF Austria and Hungary
were regulated by the so-called compro-
mise OF 1857, Hungarian statesmen and
politicians have professed TO regard the
Magyar portion Of the common army Of
the entire empire as their own national
and distinctivsly Magyar army. and time
and again have they endeaYored by all

COUNTRY WEDDING DECORATION.

In the autumn woods and fields OF gar
dens are many suggestions for decora-
tions for weddings either at the church
or house. A recent decoration in an out
of-town church was designed and car
ried out by several women who gathered
dahlias from their garden and arbor-
vitae from their hedges and. making a
foundation of the latter by covering a
large screen of wire with the arbor-
vitae, fastened the stems of dahlias
into this green background and made a
glowing eenterpiece in front of the pull
pit Vases and altar rail were also deco
rated with these combinations OF bios

Hopes for a Settlement.

II is possible that the latter may prove
of a merely temporary character and
that the apprehensions expressed lest
the conflict between the throne and the
Magyar people should develop into a
revolution, and into revival of those
sanguinary scenes that marked the
opening OF the Emperor's reign, may re-
main unfulhl1ed. Hopes Of this kind are
based upon the fact that even those
most violent in their attacks upon the
Emperor reproach him with having
yielded to the "nefsrious counsel" of his
Austrian advisers, for whom their bit
terest invectives are reserved, the in
ference being therefore that they hold
the military digritaries and statesmen at
Vienna as primarily responsible for his
present attitude. and this impression Is
confirmed by the comment frequently
heard Of late that had the lameuted
Empress Elizabeth been alive, her in
nuence would have been successful in
evertins the actual deadlock.
This goes to show that IN spite Of
their momentary evaporation against
him, Emperor Francis Joseph still finds
a place in the hearts OF his Magyar
lieges. and that by a few well-chosen
words in the right place he may re-
kindle their loyal affection for him TO
such an extent as to stife the burning
embers Of discomfort without receding
from the position which he has felt
himself compelled TO assume. Certain
il IS that no one else but the chivalrous
old Emperor could undertake this task
with any prospect of success. and no
greater calamity could befall Austria
Hungary than his death at the present
junctrre.

Affairs in Hungary.

Emperor Francis Joseph. in his letter
TO the Magyar premier, Count Kheun
Hedervary, dated Vienna, September p.
declares the state Of affairs in Hungary
Ito be fraught with peril alike to the
nation and to the monarchy" The SOW
ereigD who makes use of these mo-
mentous words, which have been by his
direction published in the "Ohlcial Ga
zette." at Vienna and at Budapest, is
Justly renowned as the most sagaeious
and experienced of Old World rulers, by
whom indeed, now that Queen Victoria
is no more, he is regarded as their dean.
having not merely reigned, but also
governed, for a period of fifty-1ve years.
His proclamation of the state of affairs
in his kingdom as being critical can
not, therefore. be lightly regarded, and
must command attention in this country.
where the welfare and progress of Hun
gary have always been followed with
sympathetic interest.
A disquieting feature OF the situation
at Budapest is r be found in the
fact that for the first time since the
great revolution OF 1s4s-49. the Emperor
himself is being abused and assaulted In
Hungary. In all the many disputes
which have taken place during the last
half century between the Cisleithan and
Translelthan portions OF the dual en-
pire and which have had the effect of
year by year increasing the antagonism
and the gap between them, the personal
popularity Of Francis Joseph had. until
a few weeks ago, remained unimpaired
in Hungary. and has indeed been con-
sidered as 90 powerful a factor in hold
ing the Magyars and the Austrians to-
gether that many have predicted that
his disappearance from the scene when
gathered to his fathers in the Capucine
Monastery vaults at Vienna would bring
about a complete severance OF the union
between the two countries. Now, how
ever. he is being charged with having
violated the Hungarian constitution.
with having insulted the Hungarian peo-
pie. and with having trampled upon
their rights. Public opinion Is being
melted against him throughout the
length aud breadth of the Magyar king
dom. and taxpayers arc invited not TO
pay their imposts. so as 10 "starve out
his absolutist rule" In one word, his
popularity in Hungary, upon which so
much was believed TO depend. is subject
at the present moment to an eclipse.

amusement by his sarcastic comments
upon the member from Maine. He spoke
of Mr. Littlehelds speech just made as
his defense for his failure to pass
his ANTITRUST bill In fulhlment OF his

PANAMA TREATY TO
HAVE THE PRECEDENCE
iBy AssocIa red press.l

( WASH1N GTON, D. c., February IL
The Republican Senators he'd a caucus
to. day and decided to have the Senate
continue consideration OF the Panama
Canal treaty Tomorrow and on future
days until the treaty shsl be disposed Of.
The understanding Is that the statehood
bill does not lose Its advantageous posi-
ton In the order Of business when the
Senate Is In legislative session. The Re-
publican supporters Of the statehood bill
agree not to antagonize a motion for an
Treaty. nor to make any objection to the
prolongation Of such sessions to any ex-
tent necessary to secure ratification.
Senator Cullom. chairman of the Com
nittee on Foreign Relations. presented a
motion declaring 1t to be the sense Of the
caucus that the Senate should ''go into
executive session tomorrow. February
18th. Immediately after the conclusion OF
the morning business. to ratification OF
the Panama Canal treaty"
As only two weeks of the session re-
main. and there was determined though
limited opposition to the treaty, II was
absolutely necessary that no further time
should be lost In getting down to serious
work Oil the treaty.
speeches expressed the opinion that the
chief purpose Of the motion was to side
track the statehood bill. Speeches based
on this apprehension were made by Sem
ators Quay. Elklns. Gallinge. and Fora
ker.
Senator Hoar madt an argumen, TO
prove that the executive business Of the
Senate occupies q different plane from
legislative business, and that courtesy to
wards other nations demands that treaties
should have preferential consideration at
the hands OF the Senate. This view was
cepted generally by the Senator's, and was
| the view acted on. Some Of the Senators
! present afterwards commented on it as
| likely to form a new departure and an
| important precedent in the Senate.
