Vienna. Feb. 14.-t'rancis kossuth
| the leader of the independent party in
! the Hungarian parliame Mt was re-
ceived yesterday morning; by the en-
peror-king and discussed with his
majesty the political situation and cab
met crisis in Hungary arising from
the coalition of the various minor par
| ties in Hungary with the Independence
party and the sweeping victory at the
polls in Hungary on January 90, which
has resulted in the unit ed opposition
parties being placed in control of the
lower house of the Hungarian parlia
ment.
Herr Kossuth has declared that it
without the help of this united party
or against it's wishes. Herr Kossuth
was with his majesty nearly an hour
and was treated with great distinction
He expressed fully his views and his
partys views. The emperor listened
attentively. but did not make any re-
ply affecting the situation.
If kossuth stands fast for his party S
program. his position is a strong one,
and it is believed that he VIII do so.
The solution of the present situation
may be delayed, but it is hoped that
the emperor's approaching visit to
Budapest, where he will confer with
other Hungarian leaders, will do mucn
TO help find the solution.
Herr kossuth declared that he came
to Vienna with the purpos Sc and In the
hope of convincing the emperor that
no party exists in Hungary desiring
to separate the interests of Hungary
from those of the house Of Hapsburg;
that the independence party is most
loyal and that Hungary would become
the strongest prop of the dynasty IT
it We're permitted to have free and un-
trammeled development. He says fur
Their that when the independence par
tvs program is realized, al differences
between Austria and Hungary will
disappear The development and
strengthening of Hungary as a nation
would, he said increase the security
of the kings throne, and in the future
the fate of Hungary and the house of
Hapsburg would be closely interviewer
thru mutual understandings.
Herr kossuths Interview with En-
peror Francis Joseph is regarded in
Austria and Hungary as an historical
event. In substance the Independence
party's program is the complete indie
pendence of Hungary from Austria as
nation, but Hungary's continuance
under the personal sovereign of the
head of the Hapsburg family and the
mutual protective university between
the two nations.
Herr Kossuths explanations have
made good impression ir Vienna, and
particularly in certain Austrian circles
where fears were entertained regarding
supposed revolutionary tendencies Of
the independence party. In the future
relations between Austria and Hun
gary Herr kossuth will undoubtedly
play an important part.
When Herr Kossuth drove in the
morning to the imperial palace the
streets thru which he PASSED We're
crowded with people interestedly
watching the historical scene of a for
mer revolutionist entering he Viennese
Hofburg, the residence OF the same
emperor who condemned Louis Kos
suth, the father of Francis, to death,
Louis Nossuth being subsequently
hanged in effigy by Austrian authority.

Herr ilossuth returned 20 Budapest
in the afternoon. While he was loudly
cheered going to and from the Hof-
burg by some hundreds of adherents
he had to dissuade his followers from
making any boisterous demonstrations
His quiet demeanor created a favorable
impression. He declined to reveal any
thing the emperor said in he course of
the audience. but declared himself
deeply moved and charmed by the
emperor's gracious amiablity.
