HUNGARY IS STILL LOYAL

Vienna, February 12.-Francis Kos- suth, the leader of the independence party In the Hungarian parliament was re- eeived this morning by the Emperor-King, and discussed with his majesty the political situation and cabinet crisis in Hungary, arising from the coalition of the various minor parties in Hungary with the independence party, and the sweeping victory at the polls in Hun gary on January 26, which has resulted in united opposition parties being placed in control of the lower house of the Hun garian parliament.
 Herr Kossuth has declared that 1t Is impossible now to govern Hungary with out the help of this united party, or against its wishes. Herr Kossuth was with his majesty nearly an hour, and was treated with great distinction. He expressed fully his views and his partys also. The Emperor listened attentvely but did not make any reply affecting the situation. If Kossuth stands fast for hls party's programme, his position Is a strong one and it Is believed he will do so. The solution of the present situa- tion may be delayed, but 1t Is hoped that the Emperor's approaching visit to Budapest, where he will confer with other Hungarian leaders, will do much to help find the solution.
 Hungarian Party is Loyal.
 Herr Kossuth declared that he came to Vienna with the purpose and in the hope of convincing the Emperor that no party exists in Hungary desiring to sep arate the interests of Hungary from those t,, dependence party is most loyal, and that Hungary would become the strongest prop of the dynasty, if 1t was permitted to have free and untrammelled develop ment
 He says further, that when the inde- pendence party's programme is realized, all differences between Austria and Hun gary will disappear. The development and strengthening of Hungary as a na- ton would, he said, increase the security of the Kings throne and in future the fate of Hungary and the house of flaps burg would be closely interwoyen through mutual understanding.

 Herr Kossuths interview with Emperor Francis Joseph is regarded In Austria and Hungary as an historical event, be- cause 1t Is believed 1t will actually lead to closer relations between the house of Hapsburg and those Hungarlans who have been opposed to the existing double form of government.
 The prospects of the successful develop ment of the Independence party's pro- gramme are now brighter than they have been for thirty years past and it is hoped the near future may see the establish ment of a system of international life between Austria and Hungary, which ultimately will lead to relations similar to those existing between Norway and Sweden. In substance, the independence party's programme is the complete inde- pendence of Hungary from Austria as nation, but Hungary's continuance under the personal sovereignty of the head of the house of Hapsburg. Lnd mutual pro- tective unity between the two nations
 Herr Kossuth declares that this policy is in no sense 3nti-dynastic and refers to the fact that 1t was first enunciated by Emperor Charles
 The Hungarian parliament which was elected on January 26 should hold it's opening session on February 1T. but in the event no cabinet shall have been ap- pointed by that time, the session neces- sarily will be postponed.
 Suggestions Make Good Impression.
 Herr Kossuths suggestions have made a good impression in Vienna and par ticularly in certai Austrian circles. where fears were entertained regarding supposed revolutionary tendencies of the independ- ence party. In the future relations be- tween Austria ano Hungary Herr Kos suth will undoubtedly play an important part.
 When Herr Kossuth drove this morn ing to the imperial palace. the streets through which he passed were crowded with people interestedly watching the historical scene of former revoutionist entering the Viennesse-Hofburg the residence of the same Emperor who con- demned Louis Kossuth. the father of Francis. to death. Louis Kossuth being subsequently, hanged in effgy by Aus trian authority. This reception a few weeks ago would have been considered impossible.
