HUNGARIAN sITUATfON.
No Improvement in Conditions, Which
 Are Now Strained.

NO Improvement In COndttions, Which
 Are Now Strained.
 Vienna, May 3-The Austrian and Hungarian lower houses met today after the Easter holidays. the former for important work and the latter to discuss the opposition program.
 The situation in Hungary has expe- rienced no improvement since April l6 and can well be considered to have be- come more strained. The throne has made no concessions to the demands of the united opposition, and the old cabi- net ministers still hold nominal posi- tions. but are powerless. The budget has not been passed and consequently taxes are being collected without au- thorization. The recruiting bill and other needful legislation is delayed The opposition is pursuing course Of passive resistance and the attitude of the crown is similar. The hope pre- vails on the side of the crown that after a certain time there will come a process of disintegration among the opposition which is composed of vari- ous diversified clements united only against Count Tisza's cabinet in its effort to render parliamentary obstruc- tion impossible.
 At Budapest tomorrow the lower house will debate the address to the throne in which the opposition's de- mands will be set forth. The Austrian lower house takes up at this session the second reading of the new Austro- Hungarian tariff, drafted and made public three days ago, but only now coming to debate in the House. The new commercial treaty with Germany as well as the pending treaties with Italy, Russia, etc., which must be- come operative March 1. 1908, are based thereon. The possibility of Hungary s deciding to establish an indeoendent national tariff also greatly auSments the necessity, from the Austrian standpoint of the passage of the new tariff. Strong efforts are being made to get this Legislation through.
