ANTI-ENGLISH IDEA
is STRONG IN AUSTRIA
Grand Duke iH StiII Highly Furious
Oxer His Treatment on Recent
Visit 10 London.
RY,EMIL ANpRAssY

VIENNA, June 4.-(Special Dispatch to
The Bee 1.-The anti-English feeling in Aus
tria is stronger today than it has been IN
years The charge that Austria really
was building her dreadnaughts for Ger
many which was made by some or the
English papers caused much indlgna-
ton here. This has been increased by the
fact that the Grand Duke Francis Ferdi-
nand heir apparent to the Austria-Hungar
ian throne and representative of the en-
pire at the funeral OF King Edward, had
been given place below that assigned to
the car of Bulgaria, practically a self
declared king, and held here in some quar-
tiers to be legally vassal to the sultan
OF Turkey.
The grand duke am told, is still furious
over his treatment in London, and his in
dignation is generally shared.
Ii may safely be said that so far as the
influence of the heir TO the throne can be
exerted with the government of Austria
Hungary, it will be opposed to Great Bril-
tain, whenever a question in European
politics arises, for the grand duke is a
vindictive man who will remember the
sight he feels has been put upon him.

DUBLIN, June 4-(Special Dispatch to

Cork and still lives to tell the tale. The
O'Brienites made good their threat to give
him hot reception and it was lovely
ruction. That the demonstration, which
was practically melted by Mr.. OBrien, has
strengthened the position of the Redmond
ties not alone in Cork but throughout Ire
land is the general opinion. In fact it is
freely predicted that in, the next general
election O'Brien will be defeated in Cork
and Timothy Healy in North South.
Redmond is today stronger than he ever
was in Ireland and among the Irish on the
other side of the channel His leadership
during the crisis in Parliament has been
equal to that of Charles Stewart Parnell,

The great evil of the direct primary
law is the interference OF democrats in
republican primaries, and the only way
to put a stop to such work is for re-
publicans to stand by the nominees of
their party when they are not person
ally unworthy. If this had been done
when Mr.. Cake was nominated, he
would have been elected United States
senator instead of Jonathan Bourne,
and the motive for further Interference
in republican primaries would have
been removed.
Republican dissensions have been of
great benefit to certain democrats, but
not to the democratic party. No voice
is raised for democratic principles in
oregon today, the efforts of the So
called leaders of that party being de-
voted to promoting strife among repub
licans in order that certain individuals
on both sides may remain the benefit
