M Jbrancis Jalcly United States minister
at the court ot Vienna to which K Hoy
was appointed as his successor by Vretf
dent Cleveland was seen ytnterday bv a
Tribune reporter at tho huusooij C
Hawmeycr at Yonkcrs KrancU with
drew Irom tho mission on August 3 since
which time owing to the rctusal of
tho Austrian government to receive
Kcllor the duties ot the olUco havo been
perforuiod by James lennorllc secrqlnry
of legation and clurp do affairs ad
interim DM you understand tho Aus
trian government to base Its objectlou to
Mr Kollcy either on tho taut thathls lo
was n Jewess or on the fact that thoir
inarrlane wus only a civil contract
asked tho reporter I did notl replied
Ilancls emphatically Neither of theso
considerations was longed upon by Ails
tila olllclally as grounds for rejection
and It was never tor a moment lutcnded
that this Kovornmcnt sliouhl bo so ad
vised I had a long conversation iIUi
Count Kalnoky on tho subject at tho
tluio tho dlfllciiUy arose and while ho
poluted out that a Jewess or oven a lady
ot proximate Semitic origin could
hare no social status In Vienna ho ucver
onco hinted to me officially that that
would in any way lulltienco the judgment
ot tho Austrian gov eminent 1 know that
Hebrews are not received In aristocratic
society In Austria or at least of tbo capi
tal yet I am sure tho fjovcromeut takts
no notice of this fact olllclally while It Is
rjnlto powerless to alter It even If It so
doslrcd I am nwnro also that a civil
mnrrlago Is uot iccognlzcd In Austria
They havo civil marriages thcroit Is trno
tuongh Jhci o require to he sealed by tho
solemnity of an ecclesiastical ceiemuny
before they aro looked upon as valid yet
ceu this fait would not exclude the only
accndlted ropusontatlvo of ouo ot tho
foreign countries Tvcro ho in other re
spects qualified I think for Instance
it a Hebrew hud been appointed Inocail
ot Sir Kelley ho would havo been received
and recognized In his offlclal capacity
Wlnl led to the current belief th tt Stri

Air Kellny that his govcrnnieut
would Hko to havo an opportunity
of constricting tho nppoiutment
before dually coneutlnp to it ai Is tho
custom In such casts and comldentlally
hlutoil nt Mrs Kcileys being a Jewess
Karon Schaeffors action In glv lug pub
licity to this confidential communication
was gratuitous on his part and certainly
illadvised It was only natural for Mr
Itujurd to protest uudcr tho circum
stances and of course ho did only what
any American would be likely to do In his
placo IfasCountKalnoky remarked to mo
ilaron Schaeffcr had simply directed tho
attention of Mr Bayard in a friendly way
to tho fact that Mr Kcllcys nomination
was a surprise und that thcto wore some
reasons why tltuo should bo allowed tho
Austrian government to decide on In tho
premises and this Count Kalnoky assert
ed was what ho had In mind vvhen he scut
the dispatch no publication would havo
been made of tho facts and Mr Kcllcys
marital relations would not havo been
made the subject ot dlscuislon and all
this troublo would havo beeu avoided
Is thero nuy truth In tho statement
that the rejection was duo to the Inter
vention of Italy
Not a shadow Count Kalnoky aays
distinctly that the Italian embassador
nevor alluded to tho subject In eonversn
Hon with him and Mrhiogjony declares
tho Italian government never Interfered
in any way whatever Uoth ot
them In giving tho reasons for the re
jection spoko of the want of political
tact Kelley had manifested In liH speeches
and it was plainly thought uuadvlsahio to
havo so Imprudent a pirson as the Ameri
can representative
Did tbo Austrian government ecctn to
havo any feeling of unfriendliness towards
tho United States
Noj I was always reminded In my In
terviews with the Austrlau foreign olllco ot
the fact of the friendly relations existing
between tbo two countries and It was a
sincere deslro of tho Auitrlan govern
ment to maintain the so relations without
Interruption or misunderstanding
What harm could result if tho diplo
matic relations should bo broken off be
tween the two countries
Suspension of diplomatic relations
would operate Injuriously to our lutcrests
in that tho Austrian gov eminent would
bo very likely to give tho usual twelve
monthsnotice of Wo termination of tho
treaty and that treaty affords tho oply
real security wo have for tbo protection
of AustroAmcrlcan citizens
Who would bo tho losers by thcubro
gaton ot the treaty
Vo should Ausfrla might assnrnc
as Germany is assuming the doctrine
onco a subject always ft subject and
therefore on thoicluru of an AustroAmer
Ican citizen to Austria ho would he ar
rested aud Impressed Into tho army
vvhen by discrimination against our
of wblch Enormous quantities
products
aro used in Austria they could be driven
out of tho market > by imposing heavy
duties which would arcouut absolutely
to prohibition
Would It be n easy thing for tbo
United States to gt anpther treat
With tho condition of tbo feeling pro
voked by tho Kollcy cplsodo It would be
extremely dlUhuit and this corf
dltlon Is not likely to ceaso txnill
