Conflict Between Citizens
and Troops.

BUDA PEsTH, April 23.-Sunday 300
workmen marched on the Town Hall in
Il old-Mezo Vasarhelp. County Csongrad,
on Lake Hodos, with the declared nren-
tion of recovering pamphlets, documents,
etc., belonging TO the socialist leaders.
which were recently seized. The authori-
ties mustered force of gendarmes to re-
sist the attack. Upon arriving at the
Town Hall the spokesman OF the mob
asked for the return of the pamphlets, etc.,
claiming that they had been Illegally
seized. The authorities warned the work
men that force would be used unless they
abandoned their threats. The mob re-
fused to dispense and the geDdarmes were
ordered to charge. The police were met
by showers of stones and driven back. A
number were injured.
The municipal authorities called for
detachment of troops, which had
been held in reserve in anticipation of
serious disturbances. The gsndarmes
made another attempt to dispense the
mob, but were again repulsed. The
military being drawn up in front of
the Town Hall, the mob were warned that
unless they dispersed the troops would
ire upon them. The only reply was a
volley of stones fired at the military.
The soldiers were then ordered TO
load with blank cartridges and a vol
ley was fired at the rioters. The
latter. seeing no one killed or wounded,
con tinued stoning the troops, and the or
der was then given to load with ball. A
second volley was fired into the
mob, wounding six severely aud slightly

of the wounded men will die. After this
volley a detachment of hussars charged
the mob with drawn swords, riding down
the rioters, pricking a number with
swords and driving them away from the
town hall. The hussars also arrested
sixty. The prison is strongly guarded.
The streets are still being patrolled by
hussars and by eendarmes.
The result of the conflict between the
rioters and the troops was even more
serious than at first stated 1t is now
known that one peasant was shot dead.
Four men received wounds from which
they will die and others were more or less
cut from the sabers of the Hussars.
The disturbed district is one of
the richest in Hungary. but it
has been disturbed by Agrarian
agitation which lad been assigned by
socialist societies in the town. For some
time past the peasants have declined to
pay taxes, being prompted thereto by the
socialists.
When the order was given for the Hus-
sars tn charge and the mob saw that the
soldiers were about to ride down upon them
some one in the crowd shouted: eff you
are Hungarians forbear to harm your
blood brothers." This, of course, had no
effect and the troop charged. causing the
rioters to scatter. The mob. however,
was not dispersed until after severe fight

rage. and badly equipped as they we're to
contend against the military. they fought
in the fiercest manner.

ers at Washington, warning the Industrial
Army from invading the Capitol. and hay-
ing perused it carefully he said:
MY answer to it is this, The wicked
flee when no man pursueth.'
Thus with Biblical quotation did the
Common ealer seek to answer the
official warning OF the authorities. There
can be no mistaking the fact the general
intends to push his army to the steps of
the Capitol, and by its physical presence
force Congress to listen to their demands.
For the first time since his arrival in this
city, the general showed that he was
wrought up. although be outwardly strove
to repress all signs of emotion. 1t was
with forced smile that he said:
''Then my army struck terror into the
hearts of the President and Congress-
men,"

General Coxey made these declarations
while on his way to address the mem bers
of the PEOPLES Industrial League. where
heshad been invited by David Rosseau OF
the Peoples party.
About 500 Populists were present TO
hear Coxey. AS he entered Clarence l..
Davis was speaking. and the first words
that fell on the generals ears were !:
They are not going to hang Coxey, al
though they may put him in jail" Gen
eral Coxey stopped abruptly and said:
Il hardly think they will do that"
Instantly the general was recognized and
a mighty cheer arose and he was intro
duced. Mr. Rosseau is the man who in
troduced Mrs. Lease of Kansas several
weeks ago.
General Coxey talked for over an hour
on the decentralization of gold and silver
