IIIB MIMI.SU : OF nii.ioATns. : Hut the majority aio lempori/ers , oppoi- tunlsts , anxious only to prevent action and put otf the evil day. For the moment the greatdesiio Is to take no decisive slep before the meeting of the dolegales , which , unless the cholera should Increase , will take place nt Hilda Pesth eaily In November. Foielgn allairs will certainly bo well discussed and the hot headed Hungarians will press Count Kalnoky hard as to his Bulgarian policy. Kalnoky Is an excellent diplomatist , who trained his present position by hl.sremaikablo dispatches from St. Peteisburg , but ho Is not a great slatcsinan , and Is accused by some of being feeble , and under Itu&sian influence. He has even been accused of the intention of accepting the Russlon occupation of liulgaria without much opposition , once he has weath ered the storm ot thu delegates , and finds It's hands fieo. TIIR I'ltSTHEU r.I.OTD's OI'INION. This the Pesthor Llojd denies with much waiiutli. it culls ultcntlon to thu declarations of the Hungarian picmlcr , Tls/.a , nnd says : Kalnoky could not remain an hour In oHico If he acted contrary to the known wish of Hungary. Kalnoky has , however , himself said that ho will resign when ho finds ho cannot Keep the peace a declaration which may be Inteipreted In several wa > s. There am many signs thai Hungary Is not ically as ] ) oncitul In thodual emplioas the constitu tion would make It appear. Kalnoky , like thcTuiks , may let the futnic take care of Itself so long as ho sulllces for the mesont. So long as the c/ar takes no rash le.solntlons , diplomacy may settle the binning question without a war.

A prominent Hungarian statesman tild 1110 yesterday ho believed Kinlbars would linally succeed : Uiat with eastern people mistakes or failures counted for little. It the Inlilgues and Ihre.ils weio continued without wnvurlnst or husltntlou , a weak people must in tlie end be subjugated by obstinate perseverance. This was the strength of Ignatlafa'g policy nt Constan tinople. When nine Intrigues failed the pashas feared Iho lenth would succeed , and yielded lest they might coinpiomlsc them selves. No power has such a great Inlerest In Unlgaila as Russia. The olhci powers desire only lo piotecl commcielal or Indlieet political interests , llussla's political inletest in the Balkans Is positive as n .step toward something cMo and must eventually triumph. He believed the powers will not oppose Iho landing ot Rus sian marines at Varna If plausible icasons are given. Jly own Impression Is that Aus tria alone will not forcibly oppose the Rus sian occupation of liulcaria il it bo disguised as temporary , but will use all diplomatic means to prevent ordelay it DIsCIUMIN.VlIXO AOAINST AMKUICAN Pl > THOMH'M.

But If all the chancellor's eifoits fail lo attain lids , Bls- niaick would lalhurseo the Auslro-Gtnnian alliance knocked into a cocked hat than stir a finger agalnsl llussla.
