Austria Sends Ultimatum.
VIENNA, March 22. The Austro-Hun-garlan
government today addressed a
strongly worded note to Montenegro,
which was In the nature of an ultima
tum. Beyond promising that the future bom
bardment of Scutari will be directed
against the fortifications and not against fixes am annual occupation tax upon cor
the town, Montenegro's reply to Austria's I poratlons and places tho sending -out of
remonstrances, is a refusal to comply
with the Austrian demands.
The note declares that for military
reasons Montenegro must refuse to per
mit civilians to leave ScutarJ and that
it cannot allow the Austro-Hungarlan
consul in Scutari to take part In the
Inquiry into tho death of the Priest Palle
or the alleged coercive conversion of
Catholics, declaring that such an Inves
tigation by u, foreign official would be
Inbpmpatlblo with the sovereign rights
ot the king of lontenegro.
Finally, the reply contains some evaslvo
remarks concerning the alleged molesta
tion of the Austrian steamer, Skodra, at
T?an Giovanni Dl Medua. Austria de-mnnded-tlio
punishment of the military
afldjfjyll authorities responsible for or
dering Captain Dlaslch to assist In land-

PARIS. March 22.-Austria-Hungarya
Isolated action against Montenegro Is
lnnkpn iinon with considerable nnxletV
here. It Is believed that a naval demon
stration off the Montenegrin coast will
In the present temper of the Montene
grins result ln an armed collision. Should
such a clash occur, Russia, it Is believed,
certainly would Intervene.
Louis Brunet, the Montenegrin1 consul
general at Paris, commenting upon Aus
tria's note to Montenegro, today said;
"It Is clear that Austria seeks a fresh
quarrel with Montenegro and it recatu
the incident at Prlsrend, in whlo'n the
Austrian consul. Prochaska, was the
principal. On this occasion Austria se
lects the moment when the fortress of
Scutari Is about to fall to act.
"The pretext it uses Is trivial. The
Austrian government knows that to al
low the civil population of Scutari to
leave the citadel would be to paralyze
the Servian and Montenegrin military
operations, for the reason that tho
greater part of the civilian Inhabitants
have been armed and are. defending tho
city."

remarks In his speech, vrhlch were re-4
cnlvnd by the audience with much laugh-
ter and applause. In fact, his speech con
talned lines of humor and good will all
the way through.
Joseph Millard, former United states

man and ln tlntroduclng the speaker,
complimented the president, on hs cholc
ot Mr, Bryan to head the cabinet. Other
sentences In his Introductory remarks at
forded thoughts i -which the secretary
ot stato humorously elaborated. Mr,
Bryan said tho club had done him honor1
by making Senator Millard the toast
master "Senator Millard, who has not
always. votedthe same and who Is one
of those In tho opposite party broad
enough, liberal enough and generous
enough to let his Interest run across party
lines occasionally.'"

"As the toastmattcr has tuggected," h(
continued, "tho president probably se
lected me because of all th. people in th9
country I had cuuc most irequently oloso

In explaining some ot the duties ot thf
secretary of state the chairman had said
tho president made no mistake In ap
pointing Mr. Bryan because Mr. Bryan
knows tho troubles or public life and
"will know, better In a year from upW,
especially nftfcr handling the many gen
tlemcn who want to be sent abroad.1,
"I don't suppose," declared Mr. Bryan,
rather as a rtnly to tils,. ''that there s

lands, ilt Is mjvregret that 12,506 mileu
