A FORTUNE IN HUNGARY.
Two Million Dollars Awaiting Two Ell
tricians of Illinois.

Two Million Dollars Awaiting Two E1ec-
tricians of Illinois.
CHICAGO, May 29.-A fortune in Hum
gary estimated to b. worth $4,000, 900
has been left to E. s. Karoly, a prosper
GUS electrician of this city, and his
brother, q. s., also an electrician, living
in Aurora, LIS. Their father was Kar-
oily Szenassy, Hungarian nobleman,
who dropped his sir name when he came
to Albany in 1s4S, and practiced medi-
cine. He married an American woman
in Salem, Mass, and died in ignorance
of the fact that the family estate had
succeeded to him.
Two years ago the only son of Count
Allois Karoly, the Austrian ambassa Tor
to Great Britain, eloped with Boriska
Frank, pretty but inferior Hungarian
actress. The couple were traced to
America, and returned from Chicago
last year to London, where the count
did last January, leaving an immense
fortune. This led to the discovery that
an equally large estate was waiting to
be claimed by the heirs of Dr. Kgroly.

BRAZILIAN ADVfGEs.
Rumors of a BattIe-Letter From Admiral
MeIIo-Town Fortified


Me1lo-Town Fortified.
NEW YORK, May 29.-The Herald's
Buenos Ayres dispatch says:
There are rumors here that battle
has taken place between the local Bra
lillian forces under General Pinheiro
Machado and the rebels under General
Sarayia. The result of the battle has
been impossible to obtain as yet.
The Uruguayan consul at Desterro,
Brazil, has been arrested and placed in
prison, charged with showing sympathy
to the rebel president of the provisional
government, General Lorena. 1t is also
said that he aided in supplying coal to
the ships in the rebel squadron.
The Brazilian consul at Santa Ana
has occupied and fortified the town with
the help of government forces.
Several officers of the rebel squadron
have determined to return to Rio ia
metro and submit to trial by government
courtmartial.
The newspaper La Prensa prints a
letter from Admiral Mello in which he
says that the revolution has only begun.
He also says that correspondent of the
London Times offered money and aid in
procuring ships if the revclutionistS
would embrace the monarchical cause.
This offer was refused by the rebels,
Mello says, on the ground that they had
forsaken their families and homes in
order to fight for republican principles,
and nothing would induce them to alter
their position.
The correspondent in Montevideo,
Uruguay says that orders have been
sent to the frontier to prevent the pas
sage into the province of Rio Grande do
Sui, Brazil, of armed bodies of rebels
from Uruguay The government, how
ever, complains of the excessive expense
entailed in keeping soldiers at the
boundary line between the two coun-
tries.

prove another bonanza to the producers
of petroleum. The owners of the patent

There are three involving the validity of
foreign judgments in the courts of the
United States, an important customs
case involving the rates upon tobacco for
cigar wrappers, and the cases to test the
validity of the Massachusetts, oleomarga-

of legislation still further restricting the

Proteeted MonopoII,s LAST Plea.


The last plea of protected monop-
" is that Congress should delay
any action on the tariff until after
the ncxt election. Could anything
be more childish? The question of
Tariff Reform was referred to the
people in 1890, and again in 1892.
On both occasions there was an
overwhelming demand for tariff re-
form. Reform was impossible fol-
lowing the election of 1890, because
there was a Republican President
in the White House to fiout the
will of the people, and BECAUSE the
Senate had been SO fortified in the
interest of monopoly by bringing
into it members practically without
constituencies that it was deemed
impregnable to popular assault.
The political earthquake of 1892,
however, upset all calculations. 1t
put Democratic President in the
White House, and gave the Demo
Gratis an apparent majority in the
Senate. If the peoples behest shall
not now be observed it will be the
fault of a few recreant Senators
who are more interested in the
pecuniary results of tariff spoilation
than in the success of the party
which they pretend to represent.
But neither Senatorial default nor
the whimpering cry for a third ap-
peal to the voters offers any sufi-
Gent reason for delayin revenue re.
form legislation. What answer
would it be possible for the Demo-
cratic party to make in November
next if it should go before the peo-
pie with its finger in its mouth,
having done nothing it was COM
missioned to do? 1t would deserve
the rebuke it would surely get. No
baby plea would suffice to excuse
wilful failure. Let Congress pass a
Tariff bill; quiet business apprehen-
sion; restore basis for trade; and
put a platform instead of an unre-
deemed promise under the feet of
the Democratic party. November
would then take care ofitseIf. The
people will respond to Democracy
when Democracy shall respond to
the people.

Senator Teller Wants Speedy Vote.
Kanawha Gazette.
Senator Teller is a stalwart Re
publican, but a manly fellow, and
the course of his Republican col.
leagues in obstructing the passage
of the tariff bill has greatly disgust
ed him. On Tuesday he took part
in the discussion in the Senate and
in the course of his remarks adj
ministered a rebuke to the Repub-
lican Senators for their action in
unnecessarily delaying a vote on
the bill. He declared "there is ev-
cry reason in the world why this
bill should be brought to vote.
"Just now the country demands
prompt action on our part" To
this he added:
ain my opinion, the bill is ample
for the protection of American in
dustries. 1 believe that the de
mands of the Government for reve-
nue. are SO great that a bill laid for
revenue only, if wisely laid, will,
on four fifths of the articles it
touches, give to the American peo-
pie ample protection against for
eign cheap labor. But L do not
think that the bill is SO wisely
drawn that it does that, in the sense
it ought. And yet l am bound to
say that it is better bill than l
had an idea would come to us from
the Democratic party after its dec
laration at Chicago.
at is better bill than we, on
this side of the chamber, hoped to
get. And L am glad to get it, with
all its inconsistencies thrown in.
Let us address ourselves to the
question like men charged with a
duty, on the result of which the
interests of seventy millions of peo-
pie are dependent. And if, when
we get through, the bill is not what
We want, let us go to the people
and submit the question in the
great forum where right will ul-
timately prevail"
