CALLED PRESS DOWN.
Premfer Wekerle Sore on Criticism of
 kalser's Visit.


 Budapest. Hungary. May 14.--Oficial note has been taken of the unfriendly comment of the Hungarian press on the approaching visit of Emperor Will liam to Emperor Francis Joseph at Vienna and both Premier Wekerle and Minister of Commerce Francis Kossuth have publicly discountenanced 1t.
 The premier took the opportunity of an election address at Bruesvar yes terday to declare his conviction that Austria Hungary wished to remain an equal factor in the German alliance, which not only was a guarantee of peace. but was the pillar of Austria Hungary's foreign policy"
 He further declared that there was absolutely no foundation for the ru- mors that Germany had in any way interfered in the internal affairs of the dual monarchy. rumors of which larga- ly occasioned the present display of bitterness.
 Kossuth expressed the opinion that the comments in the papers did not express the real opinion of Hungary. which thoroughly realized the desira- hility of the best relations with Ger many.
