On Tuesday Dr. de Lukacs resigned the Hungarian Premiership, and
Count Khuen Hedervary succeeded him. Count Khuen Hedervary was Ban of Croatia from 1883 till 1903, and, as the Vienna correspondent of the Times says, earned the approval of the Hungarian Government by performing the difficult feats of maintaining in the Croatian Diet a Magyarophil majority, and of sending to the Hungarian Parliament Croat Deputies who could be relied upon to vote according to orders. In 1903 he became Hungarian Premier, and after the fall of his Government held office in the suc- ceeding Government till 1906. Since then he has been living in retirement. The correspondent thinks that Count Khnen Hedervary's programme will be framed on 1867, or Dualist, lines, and will be practically an attempt to sally the scattered forces of Dualism for an attack on the 1848, or Independent, elements.
