AUSTRIA STUBBORN.
Russia's Efforts in Tmn-Warlike
Tone IN Vienna.

81 petersburP oct 1O-The utmost efforts Of
Pussion Diplomacy have been directed for the
entire week toward endeavor to secure some
modification os the recalcitrant attitude OF Aus
tria- Hungary regarding the scope Of the de-
libcrations of the proposed congress Of the
powers on the Balkan situation, but these efforts
have been frutless. NJ. Tcharykon, the acting
Foreign Minister has spent several hours daily
in consultation with Count Berchthod. the Aus
trian Ambassador. but apparently to no purpose.
Austria although its first announcement was
that as a great power it could not permit other
nations TO question It's action in annexing Bosnia
IS willing TO discuss the questions or compensa-
ton to the great powers the limitation OF the
desires Of the Balkan states and the cancella-
ton of obnoxious clauses in the Berlin treaty
but IS obdurate on the all important point of its
responsibility TO the siSnatories to that treaty.
4 bclIicose note Is now beginning to he sound
ed from Vienna It was learned to-day from a
well informed source that Austria would not
shrink from war. rather than yield TO dictation
in the form of a joint call for an International
congress issued by Great Britain. France. Rus
sia and Italy. According to this authority, Aus
tria and Germany have seized this opportunity
to test the strength of the frequently discussed
"hemming In policy" They believe that the
time is favorable to shatter the narrowing circle
of alliances and understandings.
1t is entirely possible that Austria may make
an issue of the formal refusal of the powers to
recognize the annexation of Bosnia as an ac
complished fact
Count Berchthold has been in an embarrassing
position for it is nearly a week since he de-
manded an audience with Emperor Nicholas
to which he was entitled as the personal rep
resantative of Emperor Francis Joseph. This
audience was put off, however, for various rea
sons. and it is understood here that ;hu Empe-
ror will not receive the Austrian Ambassador
until after the return of NJ. Iswolshy from the
London conferences.
