Compensation.
BY Cable 10 The Tribune !

Paris, April 26.-The Montenegrins
just now are the idols of the Partisan
public. Enthusiastic sympathy with
them is expressed everywhere. Those
best informed in diplomatic circles are
confident in spite Of the threatening
attitude of Austria. that the Emperor
Of Russia will by his personal influence
succeed in inducing King Nicholas. who
is absolutely in the hands Of his people.
TO prevail upon them TO relinquish Sou
tart, in return for which supreme sac
rifce and enormous pecuniary and ter
ritorial compensation will be given.
The German Emperor meanwhile is
eXerting strong influence with the EN-
peror Francis Joseph to assent to the
granting of these compensations. 1t
should be remembered that King Mich
olas is not a free agent. and would GER
tainly be deposed if he took the initia-
tive in proposing concessions by the
Montenegrins. who have lost more than
one-third of their able bodied popula-
ton in the war, including three thou
sand killed in the final assault on Sou
tart alone.
The vital question OF the hour is
whether Austria will assent TO the con-
cessions that all the other great powers
except Austria agree TO make 10 Monte
negro as the only means of ayerting
war between Austria and Russia, in
both Of which countries patriotic feel
ing is al fever point.

TOP HAT 80 YEARS OLD
Talk of Celebrating Centenary
Is Somewhat Premature.
[From The Tribune,s Correspondent.

From The Trbune's Correspondent -
London April 19-There is some talk OF
celebrating this year the centenary OF the
top hat, but, though the beginning OF the
cylinder Of civilization" as 1t has been
called, can be traced back 70 the Eliza
bethan era, az a matter of fact IL is only
about seventy or eighty years ago that
the top hat OF the present day reached
it's final shape. Since then It has altered
slightly from season TO season in the
dimensions OF the crown and the curl OF
the br.m. but the hat itself has remained
essentially unchanged since the 30s OF the
last century.
The top hat seems 10 have had its be-
ginning in the habit of gallants in the
Elizabethan period Of cooking up one side
OF their broad brimmed. high crowned
felt or beaver hats and securing them
with jewel. The French court later de-.
veloped this gallantry into cooking up
three sides OF the hat and fastening one
with a loop of ribbon. From this fashion
came the cockade, now used only By
grooms and footmen.
The silk hat of to-day was born in
France. and supplanted the now nearly
extinct beaver hat of practically the same
shape, though considerably larger. This
hat was made Of real beaver skins. and
few still survive among owners Of
coaching teams.

Vienna. April 26.-Austria Hungary

cisive action Of the powers regarding

in official quarters. Should the powers
fail by that time 10 agree on united

conference which the Foreign Minister

this evening. The conference lasted
until s:45 o'clock. although the En-
peror usually retires at 5 o'clock.

IF Austria Hungary Is TO be really
tranquillized the great powers must
not stop at a platonic declaration OF
their unanimous intentions; they must
convert their good will into deeds with
out delay. In this connection the con-
slant talk abroad OF compensating
Montenegro for her military successes
makes an especially bad impression.
The political and military prestige
OF Europe has suffered by the fall Of
scutari. II this injury 10 their pres
tige this check 10 their actions, is a
matter OF indifference to the powers,
Austria cannot follow them along such
a path. She must insist with all the
emphasis at her command on a remedy

"The minimum she demands is the
immediate presentation by the powers

ready decided upon in the form Of a
vigorous demand for the evacuation of
Scutari at once, and, in the event of re-
fusal, the adoption Of further military
measures for the forcible carrying out
of the will Of Europe.
