VIENNA, Jan. lin the lower house of
the Hungarian Diet, to-day, Count Czaky,
the new Minister of Education, referring to
the government refusal to insert clause
in the army bill declaring it unnecessary

Tended the government On the ground
that its promise of exemption, backed by
the EmperOr's promise, was sufficient with
out the insertion of the clause referred to,
the adoption of which would lead to sim
liar demand on behalf of all the Austrian
provinces. He was interrupted at this
point by shouts of 'Germanizer," German
minister etc, Minister Czaky, however,
continued coolly,- saying: THE ability of
the country to defend itself is a matter
which takes precedence of education.
Everyone is better Hungarian, and bet
ter patriot the better he knows German"
HereupOn there arose a deafening up
roar, which lasted five minutes, but Count
Czaky stuck to his guns and was eventual
ly rewarded for his persistence by cheers of
approval from members of the Ministerial
party.

Letter Illustrative of the Feeling of Burling-
ton Officials Toward the Strikers.
CHICAGO, Jan. 1O.-A dispatch from Gales
burg, ILL.,, this morning, said that mem-
Der of the engineers committee which
settled the Burlington strike had told the
engineers at that point that there was a
document in connection with the settle
ment which ad not been made public. A
reporter for the Evening Journal asked
Vice-president Stone for copy of it this
afternoon. Mr.. Stone said that the dOcu-
ment referred to was NO part of the agree
ment, but was letter to Mr.. Ripley, the
general manager of the Burlington road,
and that copy of it had been given to the
strikers, as it showed the spirit in which
the agreemeet was to be carried out. The
letter reads as follows:
CHICAGO. Jan. 5, 1889.
Mr.. f. z. Ripley, General Manager:
Dear Sir-The enclosed Is copy of the com.
munication which was directed to give to the
committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers and Firemen who have been In con-
ference with us to-day, and which was accepted
by them, and they have declared the strike set
tied. 1t Is important that no question should
arise as to the good faith of the company. and it
Is our desire and intention that there should be
no opportunity for such question. As to the
meaning of the word available" desire to say
that when it becomes necessary to employ men
taken to consider all the qualifications that go to
make up availability, including experience and
familiarity with our surroundings and rules In
short, that the very best men are to be selected,
regardless of personal relations or prejudices
against any men or class of men. 1t should fur
ther be fully understood that the company does
not desire to pursue those who have been guilty
of improper conduct during the late strike, and
while such men cannot be re-emplOyed, and
while we cannot give letters to them no officer
or emplOye should continue the anmOsities of
the conflict after it Is over or interfere to prevent
the employment of such men elsewhere.
Yours truly, HENRY b. STONE.

A Celebrated Land Case.


VALPARAISO, Jan. 10.-A celebrated case
is on trial in the Porter county Circuit
Court. 1t came there on a change of venue
from Lake county. In 1852, Frederick Eggers
settled on Lot in the northwest corner of In
diana, near the monument on the State
line. He has resided there ever since. He
also claims by adverse possession, Lot 2,
adjoining. Edward Roby, of Chicago,
claims title to Lot 2. The first litigation
over this land began in the Lake county
Circuit Court in January, 1875. Eggers
won. The case was appealed to the feder-
al court at Indianapolis. There, Judge
Gresham decided for Eggers. Next the
United States Supreme Court, by Justice
Harlan, in January, 1886, decided for Egg
gers. In October, 1888, Justice Harlan again
decided for Eggers. Now the case is going
over the same road again. Eggers says he
claims about twenty Eve acres. This land
is worth perhaps 81 900 an acre, and is in
creasing rapidly in value. The case is be-
fore special Judge, Hon. VIM. b. Biddle,
of LaPOrte, and "a jury. The plaintiff is
his own attorney, assisted by VIM. John
son, of Valparaiso. The attorneys for Mr..
Eggers are Mai. VIM. III. Calkins, of In
