LONDON, Feb. 1,-There is pretty gen.
ersl agreement that Herr TisEA's declars.
tion to the Lower House Of the Hungarian
Diet is more warlike than peaceful. The
Hungarian Prime Minister is at Paris to
contradict various warlike rumors, and
profeases himself sincerely desirous oi
peace. What alarms Europe is his blunt
statement about tho steady displacement
Of Russian troops toward the western
frontier, and the equally blunt and some.
what stern declaration that Australia
gary had taken and would continue to
take all necessary measures for her own
eecurity and for the effective use Of her
own army. Herr Tifz1 is not frat rate
figure among European statesmen, but 1t
Is certain that no such language as this
would be used without the full concur
renee Of Count Kalnoky.

DUBLIN, Feb. 1.-The FreemGn'S Journal
demands that the government and the
police use the same vigilance to unearth
the men who murdered farmer Fitzmaur-
ice, near Trslse, County Kerry, as they
exert against priests and members OF Par
lament who venture to make speeches.
II the assssains are permitted to Escape, 1t
says, the fact will bs established beyond
yea or nay that the powers Of government
are. used, not for the detection and pun
ishmeMt Of crime, but for the exaction OF
tax rents. The police know every man in
Tralee and there will be nothing to ex-
cuse their failure to arrest the mufderers.
The Press (Conssrvstiye) says that
Fiizmaurics had been denounced as a
land.Rrsbbsr and that this charge fur
nished the motive for his murder. The
users Of such language. 1t says, ought to
be indicted as accessories to the crime.
The murder Is the direct and natural re-
suit OF the National Lsagus's teaching
and influence.

ment extending the investigation into tht

sion ss he did not believe II had the
authority to investigate institutions in the

the strike was not lockout forced by the
railroad corporation, whereby thousAnda
Of men were thrown out Of temploymenE, FOR
the purpose Of raising the price OF coal.
II these immense corporations, built up
by Congress, were choking the very life
blood out OF the nation Congress ought to
know II.
Mr.. White, Of Now York, suggested an
amendment extending the inquiry into
the question as to whether there has been
any unlawful combination Of large bodiea
OF men to interrupt the business OF the
Reading Railroad Company and to de-
prive It Of freight destined for transporta.
ton to points outside OF Pennsylvania,
and II such combination Is found to exist,

After Rome delay the various pr0posi-

Company TO transport such commerce and

facts relating 10 mining corporations,
and individual miners OF anthracite

The House then adjourned.
Mr.. Cox, the Speaker, pro tenn, states

he read, as follows:

here to-day to organize State bureau Of
