n n ENORMOUS aud excited crowd
I'M assembled this afternoon in front
I4\ of the parliament housr, which
II U was strongly guarded by police
Led on by the stuJsnts, the people
filed the air with shouts and threats,
insisting that parliament was not do
ing sufficient to hotoC the memory of
the dead patriot. Finally the crowd
made rush towards the doors OF tue
parliament house and sharp engage
ment with the police followed. Tns
mob was driven back, but the excited
people seemed determined t. force an
entrance aud it required number Of
charges before the crowd could be
forced back within reasonable dis
tunc9.
Inside the parliament houss there
was large Attendance of deputies,
and the public galleries were crowded
When the president arose to aiiress
che house the deputies arose aud stood
in profound silence and with bowed
heads while he announced the death Of
Louis Kossuth. He concluded his re
marks by asking for the unanl-
nous adoption Of the proposals
made by Dr. Alexander Wekerle,
president of the counsel. of Min
listers, who at the conference of the
liberal members OF the Hungarian
Diet, last evening suggested that the
house express the nations gratitude or
the services rendered by Kossuth. send
telegram expressing sympathy with
the family of the general
andsthat deputation of members of
the lower house be appointed to 90 to
Turin to place wreath upon Kos
suth's bier, the house to adjourn until
after the funeral
DR.. Wekerle had declared that should
any further demands be made such as
the passing of an act placing kossuth's
services on record, or providing for the
states detraying the funeral expenses,
1t would be impossible for the govern
msnt to ignore the fact that KOssuth,
to the end Of his life opposed the exist
ing constitution of Hungary.

thanks to the Italian government and
the mdnicipRl authorities Of Turin for
the hospitality which they had ex-
tended to the exled patriot.
Count ApponYi moved that Kossuth's
death be declared a national Loss, and
that the lower house of the Diet pay
the expenses of his funeral. DR.
Wekerle declared that the latter could
only accept the proposals which the
president of tue house bad made to the
