Conspiracy OF Ulcers Against the
Women of Hungar an Town.
From the Neio York Sun.
between civilians and officers in Bsja,
Hungary, is that the civilians won at every
point. Some nine weeks ago the Hussar
officers of the Baja garrison formed plan
to storm all the feminine hearts in Baja
worth storming. A meeting was held. and
a list of the handsomest and NEST eligible
young women was made. Slips
of paper bearing their names were
placed in u box, and every officer present
drew one. II was then agreed that all should
exert themselves to make complete con
quests of the young women in question,
every one devoting himself exclusively to
the daughter of BaJa whose name he had
drawn. At tho end of thu 90 months every
man must hand In at a sp; cial meeting "a
report of his experience, and, il successful,
proofs Of the completeness of his conquest.
The campaign against Baja hearts began
propitiously. When but O few days old,
however, the plan was suspected, and sus-
picion was confirmed by the finding of the
list Of threatened young women by mill
tary attendant whose home was in the city.
Through his parents the list came into the
hands OF Mayor Edusrd Drescher, whose
indignation was famed to white heat by
the discovery on it Of the name OF his
daughter. The mayor made public the
whole plan Of the campaign, and informed
parents throughout the city OF the intentions
of the young cavairyinen who visited their
daughters. He did not choose his words at
all.
The next day all Baja houses rang with
demands for reparation and all Baja bar
racks were in a state Of angry turmoil. In
the evening the mayor went to concert
hall. Into this resort says petition and

minister Of the interior, 1.-The imperial and
royal Capt Baron Vecsey, the imperial and
royal Lieuts. Joanovics aud Bber, and the
royal Hungarian Lieut.. Sivo forced their
way with drawn arms, and. 5randishing
whips, called on the mayor to come out
side. Amid storm of indignant protests
the mayor said that be might be found at
his office the next day, and under pressure
of tbs overpowering demonstration the
officers withdrew. The audiences expires
sion OF detestation and defiance can hardly
be deserted. We hope that the honored
government will at once take effective
measures in this matter"
The court Of inquiry which was imme-
diately ordered, however, was not quick
enough to prevent another military" dem
onsuation. A Pesth editor and member Of
parliament allowed himself the perilous
Luxury Of a few criticisms Of the Baja
officers. He was challenged to fght, and
although he has wife aud three children
be accepted the challenge. The officers
drew lots for man TO meet him. The
choice fell on married captain. Another
drawing resulted in the choice OF married
lieutenant. Lots we're cast again and a
