Vjsnna , Jan 23. [ Now York Herald Cable
Sncclalto Tub Deb I I have Just had the
honor of an mtcrviow with Count Tniifo , the
Austrian proinlcr.uttho Imperial mlncstcrlum
in Ilcrrcngasso His oxcollcncy was affable
In thn extreme , and holitnd the hurrasscd
jirlmo minister was to bo soon the brlght-
liumored Irish peer , for ho 19 by descent viscount -
I count of Corron , baron of Ballymoto , county
Bllpo , us well as oount of the Holy Uouiati
empire
j j , The peace of Huropo never seemed moro
* assured , " said his excellency In reply to my
first question The unlsor desires ardently
n eontlnunnco of peace , which Is so ncodful
to our Industrial and political development
1 feel hopeful of peace , but cm not say that I
fool assured of it , for history shows that war
comes when least expected
Now for the Bohemian question , for the
compromise wo have reached Is ending this
* y thirty years of lntornoclno war , for it boiran
in 1801. Ills majesty called on mo to form a
cabinet In 1878 , succeeding Prince Aners-
bcrg My mission was by a policy of concil
iation to rcconoilo the disputing nationalities
of the empire My ministry was cnlled a
'versoohnunps miiiistorlum' .nnd by some was
much laughed at.Tho condition of the
country was compared by superficial critics
to the condition of the workmen on the
tower of Babel TIicbo overlooked the pat
riotism of the Austriuns , tnolr loyalty , 'on-
hncnglichkoit' to the kalsor and his house
These sentiments , which are common to all
his inaiesty's subjects , bo they Germans ,
B Slavs or Hungarians , have brought about the
H hoppy result in Bohemia which was
B officially signalled to the world
B yesterday The 'vcrsoohnungs' ministry
M has boon long at work , but I think it will bo
B found on inspection to have worked well
• How it was done Is a long story , but 1 shall
tell It all to tlio Herald , were it only out of
Bfl recognition for the great news which-Tour
| BJ paper has often laid before the civilized world
jjH from distant parts of the glebe at a cost of
BB y great expenditures of money and often with
Bfc BffIohi of life
w _ 3 r' ' * v'AIy first stop as premlor was to attempt
what , thauks to circumstances I shall soon
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
R _ _ _ _ Y onumoruto , I have now succeeded in acrom-
B p ' plishing Nearly ten years ago HorrHorbst ,
B f the German loader , and Dr Hicger , thou as
BH dow chief of the . old Czechs , 6uld in this very
H room , after a few moments conversation ,
BB , that tlio time had not yet coino for a scttlo-
BB ment Hotli parties thought tbomsclves
HB much the strongest and powerful cuoueh to
BB ] oppress the other , so during my first year my
BB ] ministry had to watch and wait , until I llually
BB succeeded'in settling the Polish dliTorcnces
BV with the ' uld of the Polish deputies I found
BB myself with a small majority behind mo ,
BB with which 1 have govcrnod ever since I
BB waltod ten years before intervening again
BB in the question Mcantimo many things
BB changed Both parties grow weaker with
BB their unsuccessful onslaughts upon each
BB other Prom them sprang the smaller and
BB simply imposslblo parties , the Gorman na-
BB tiotiulists , who enqueued disloyally with
BB their neighbors on the north , with the anti
BB Semites ana with.tho old Czechs , who talked
BB Pun-Slavism nnd MNach liUBBlnnd hinuebor
BVBBw Bchcllten , ' casting eyes nt Russia The
BBfvery radicalism of these extremists indl-
BB roctly brought about the * reconciliation bo-
Bj twren the four important Justifiable parties
Bj In Bohemia , viz , Germans , old Czechs , the
BB German nobility una the Czech nobility
BB Thcsc , , weakened bv the long struggles and
BB Bering the dangers which threat
BB ened the country from the Impossi-
BB bio parties I have mentioned have
BB iiuido mutual concessions , until , though
Bfl weakened separately , they now form a
BB strong united 'roglorungsfuchle' party
BB biuco the result of the conference has been
Bfl published nil the young Czechs and nil the
HB other radical extremists have remained moro
Bfl qulot and docile than I ever cxpoctcd
Bfl Probably they now porcclvc the absolute ltn-
Bfl possibility of their policy ever being rocog-
BB nizod My ludofatignblo assistant and honest
| brother throughout the whole arduous pro
HB cccdings has boon Count Von Schocuburg ,
Bfl upon whom toduy the kalsor has slguitlrd
_ _ _ _ _ fc..4 _ , his Intention of conferring the Leopold order
BBBr } of the first class , tno second highest order In"
BB' the sovereigns gift I believe the promises
HH - mndn at the conference will bo kept and the
HH cm of rump parliaments and parliamentary
Bfl rows Is ever in Hohomla Hero In this
HH chamber some clays ago the lenders
HB of antagonistic parties found they could
HB moot In council In the snino hall without
HB qunrrollinp Clubs and groups of every
Bfl faction , as you will sea in the papa r this
HH morning , have npprovod this conduct At
HB the next , sosslon , for the first time for years ,
BB Bohemia will have roprcsontativcs of every
BB section In tl.o landtag and ' the era of non
BB Intercourse between nationalists Is nt an
Bfl cud I am a great believer In making our
BB pcoplo know oaoli other If they do , all will
Bfl thou settle their little differences which havu
Bfl orison generally through misuiidorstandings
BH The moment 1 hud them nil here I fet ) conU-
Bfl dent of success Another thing that encour-
Bfl aged mo was that I have noticed of late that
Bfl the Czechs as n nation nro beginning to pro
BBY servo their geographical isolation from their
Bfl follow Slavs and have clvon with old time
flfl loyalty the alloglanco to our gracious sov-
. , orclgu upon whom , surrounded as they uro
) by hnstllo states , their future depends "
m 't\Vuat effect will the now oracr
BB of things have upon the complexion
BB ) and composition of the central parliament or
Bfl 'nilchsratht " A very great and bonollclal
BB ono , I hope and expect 1 hope the whole
BB complexion of the imperial parliament will
Bfl undergo a transformation and that wo will
HH have no moro national groups , no longer op-
HB position for oppositions sake With the
HB rightful deniaqds and logltlmnto aspirations
BB of these four great national oppositional
BB groups in Hohomla once fully satlsflod , It Is
Bfl to be expected that they will cojso to remain
HB lu opposition , and it is to be cxpoctcd that
Bfl they will support the government which has
Bfl 1 brought about such a happy change Single
BB [ cases of opposition on facial grounds may
Bfl * occur In Isolated eases , but I believe in my
Bfl heart that with the settlement of the Polish
BB y1 Bohemian questions the acuta era of radical
_ _ L _ _ i struggles passed away lu Austria for over
BflflY "Is it the intontlon of your excellency to
HflWTJte settle the radical differences concerning the

Moravia , Carnlola nnd Styrlo My ministry

In continuing this work of consolidation It

ber of his majesty's subjects Now , with
that great , most difllcult task finished , the
national groups nro satlsllcd and 1 think the
completion of our task will bo ea y.
Lot mo again resume , nnd acccntuatn the
fact that It is not owing to the skill of party
lenders or political finesse that this happy
result has been brougnt about The prlmo
factor which dav by day Is welding the people -
plo of the cmplro closer together is their
love for the kaiser I can only claim credit
for having chosen an opportune moment for
calling the conference tofothor "
Hut , " I ventured to su ggest , your ex
cellency , wo have the authority of the
the greatest of your poets that , 'U'or don
uugcnbllck orgrloft dcr 1st dcr rccht mann , '
or as Bayard Taylor translates , 'Ho who
hits the moment is the ablest tnun '
"Smco wo have got back Into the cool at
mosphere of the classics from the heated po
litical nrenn , " replied Taafo with a smile , " 1
may say tiuit from no sovoreigu's lips might
fnll moro fittingly the noble words of King
Philip in Schiller's poem than
from the lips of His Majesty the
Knlser Prnnz Josophi 'Unter den Melnlgen
1st kolnor oin verlorolnor , ' and with our
constitutional and liberal monarchy wo pro
pose to show that wo can govern our popu
lation of Germans , Hungarians , Czechs and
Slavonians with ni much regard nnd respect
for porsnnal , religious and provincial or hoc
tional liberty as your federal govorumont in
Washington has for its northerners , south
erners , easterners and westerners "
His excellency then honored mo with half
an hours general cotivorsation on American
nnd African subjects , which gave mo a clear
insight into the great and general kuo wledgo
this truly worthy successor of ICauaitz ,
Mcttornlch and Schwarzonberg possesses
upon all current topics of interest
When I told him that I had the pleasure of
shaking Stanley by the hand bo grasped
mine again and said with simple earnestness ,
"I envy you "
The political wlsoaores nnd writers of
premature obituarlos of the Austrlna-
Hungarlan monarchy hero and abroad will
never forgive Count Taafo for upsetting all
their doleful prognostication ; . His proposed
plan for a coufcronco and compromise com
mission were at first laughed at as chimeri
cal , and even when the delegates wcro all
seated in tbo council chamber , almost unani
mously tbo prcssdcclared that the conference
must end badly nnd the stnto of Bohemia bo
worse than before Hut the conference , over
which ho presided with such monchalauce
'
nnd with n fragrant Havana alwa ys alight
between his lips , hud boon carefully pro
nared and arranged , as wa3 shown
whenever proceedings came to a posltivo
standstill When the antagonistic parties
could not agree Count Taafo would pull n
little project of his own out of his pocket and
In every instance it was accepted Count
Taafe'B ancestors came from Ireland in the
seventeenth century , and tbo second Aus
trian of that name defended Vlonna when
besieged by the Turks His estates nro in
Bohemia , a land in which , as ho said to mo
modestly this morning , Patriotism , and not
I , has handled the bleeding wound "
