Count Tisza of Hungary Says
Envoy Will Be Sent to US.
in Due Course.
HARMONY IS RESTORED
IN THE PARLIAMENT
Count Apponyi Fears Foreign Min
lister Will Overlook Chance to
Make Advantageous Peace.

BUDAPEST, September 81, via Lon
don, September "a (delayed).-Har-
mony has been re-established in the
Hungarian parliament, through the de-
feat of the opposition plan to convene
the Austro- Hungarian delegations. Dur
ing the debate Count Tisza made men
ton Of the relations between the dual
monarchy and the United States, re-
ferring to the charge that the Austro-
Hungarian government was sulking,
and that this was the reason why thus
far Vienna had failed to appoint a new
ambassador at Washington. Count
Tisza denied that the government was
sulking, adding:
TT would serve no purpose to enter
into the details of this question. but 1
must state that in the relations be-
tween our minister of foreign affairs
and the American ambassador there is
nothing that could serve as reason
for such a conclusion. There is not a
single fact for this-not a single one.
Are Far From Sulking.
"As usual in such cases, the repre-
sentation made by the member is only
partly justified. I can assure the
honorable house that all the factors
concerned in the monarchy lay the
greatest weight upon the relations
with the United States: that we are
far from sulking and that ultimately
ways and means will be found to dis
pose of this matter"
1t is understood that Count Tisza's
reference had to do with the appoint
ment of another ambassador to the
United States.
Count Apponyi criticised the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister, Baron
Burian. expressing fear that the min
lister might overlook a chance to make
an advantageous peace. =,
To-day this question is not actual.
he said, because so long as our
annihilate us there can be no talk of
peace. But it Is important that an OPP
portunity must not be overlooked.
"Hobbles After Events"
THE activity of our foreign minister
SO far has not been such that he ap-
pears to be the statesman suited for
this. His work in the past has been
such that. instead of anticipating
events, he has hobbled after them. He
has shown this in the negotiations with
Italy and now is showing it in his atti-
tude toward the United States.
TT is fact that the United States
would like to see that we had an am
bassador there; it is a fact that we have
not, which is great negligence, in view
of it's affecting the most powerful neu-
trail state. which in the preliminaries of
peace will have Yeighty words to say
Defends National Policy.
Count Tisza again defended the Aus
tro-Hungarian policy and Baron Blu
rian, as well as the military. He point
ed out that the monarchy's enemies had
all acted from the basic principle that
they would attack Austria Hungary.
no matter what was done, no matter
what concessions were made, that moth
ing, for instance would have prevented
Italy and Rumania from entering the
war
Speaking of the military. Count TisZa
said il was easy to attack that body
so far as measures for single local
ity were concerned-anybody could do
that-but generalization here was dan
gerous because not the needs of a sin
gle front, but the situation regarding
the entire war had to be considered by
those responsible for the progress of
events.
The premier then paid high compli-
ment to the Austro- Hungarian and
German armies and all the other allies
of the central powers
Count Apponyi and Count Andrassy
followed suit and were loudly applaud
ed by the entire house.
