Haugsy to finally conclude the Revised Treaty within a week. But proceeds the correspondent, it is doubtful whether the Austrian Goverment, weak as morning dew," can take tnch a bold step as was promised. If the vegetalions for the final conclusion of the Treaty with Aubirias Hungary fall through at the present stage, the Japanes Government wil be obliged to denounce the existing Transy with that cousky, Whatever may be the climate result, however, "the question of the Austro-Hungaria Treaty has caused Count Okuma's head to a/se."
