government in Italian piazzi. Yet
Trieste has been held by Austria since
1852, save for only the few years when
it was Napoleon's prize in battle.
Fiume Is hardly less Italian, although
1t is the only port of Hungary. For
many centuries II, too, has been under
Hapsburg rule, bdt without losing its
native character.
Much the same thing is true of that
entire Mttoral. From top to bottom the
very coast of iAustria-Hungary remains
almost as alien TO the Austrian and
Hungarian as if iVwere divided by seas
from the ruling land, and IL 1t were in
India or South Africa ~
In the Land of the slav. ~.
When one goes to Trieste or F1ume he
thinks he Is going TO Austria Hungary,
but he hnfs he has landed in Italy. Quite
another surprise awaits him when he
takes a train out of either Of those
cities. ...-
Suppose he is going to Vienna or Buda-
pest. Almost at the first station from
Trieste or Ffume his ear and his eye tell
him that ne mas left Italy wholly penind
him at the shore. Iffunwarned he natu-
rally might assume that he.had entered
the real Austria or the true Hungary.
But he is still far from either.
From Fiume it is all of 200 miles on the
Budapest road to the first really Hun
garian or Magyar town., and 1t is nearly
as far from Trieste in Vienna train to
the nearest Austrian or Teutonic village.
In all that wide tract between the sea
and the Drave the people are almost
wholly slavs, as Slavic in their faces and
their speech as the Poles or the Rus

Grist for the Hxpsburss.
All these racial feuds are grist for the
Hapsburg mill The more the Crosts hate
the iMagyars and Italians the less they
will hate the Austrians. And always the
strength Of the Austrian monarchy has
been in the weakness Of a divided people.

turned upon the Hungarians and fought
for the young emperor. The chieftain
of their army, JeIEchich, has a statue
at Agram, and he remains the national

But when the time came to make a
trade with the Hungarians, the Crown,
OF course sacrificed the loyal Crosts
and coldIy delivered, them over to Hun
gary, Of which kingdom they have been
a suspected and discontented province
since 1858. In the midst OF one Of their
frequent agftations they appealed in 1ss
to Francis Joseph for an audience and
hearing, but he refused to receive their
deputation. The Hapsburg- throne does
not trust itself to the friendship OF the
subject races, but thrives on their en-
mites toward one another.
This sinister policy is not failing the

the loyalty Of the Croatisn troops has
