The resignation of the Spanish ministry will of course delay the answer to our letter, as it would be wrong for the Government to press for an answer while affairs are so unsettled in Spain. * * * * * Austria has been having her share of excitement during the past week. On the opening of the parliament in Vienna, a disgraceful scene was made by the members of the lower house. |
