The resolution was, of course, a. piece of excessive Magyarism.

The Emperor could not possibly abrogate the right to keep men. on with the colours at a moment of international stress. The more aggressive Magyars have long been throwing up fortifications, as it were, against what is said to be the absolutism of the Heir-Apparent. But this resolution is certainly an impossible kind of out-work. It may be that the Emperor's threat of abdication was a dramatic manoeuvre to help Count Khuen Hedervary out of his difficulty. If so

it has succeeded to this extent, that the resolution has been perforce withdrawn. But the Parliamentary crisis requires another solution that cannot be found, and some immoderate language is being directed against the aged Emperor in the Hungarian Parliament.
