FORGED BANK NOTES.

THE HUNGARIAN SCANDAL (Received 2 p.m.) LONDON, January 29. Budapest messages state that the forged bank notes affair continues to be the subject of inquiry by a Parliamentary committee, and a policy inquiry' is demanded. The French authorities are also pursuing the matter. The French Police Commissioner (M. Fouleet) is reported to be urging the re-examination of Count Windisgraetz and M. Nadosy to clear up the alleged discrepancies in their evidence. M. Fouleet also declared that it must be ascertained where the paper used to manufacture the forged notes was procured, and where the machinery used in the process was hidden, for the French authorities are of opinion that it will yet be found in Hungary. The Premier (Count Bcthlen), in a speech, declared that if the Cabinet found it had made mistakes the members would resign. He was determined to clear the affair up. The Government had nothing to hide. Attacks from abroad originated from wine despicable Hungarians, who knew that their only chance of success was to plunge honest leaders in the mire. (Reuter.)
