They Were Deter ined That Proper Re-
 spect Should Be Paid to the Dead Pa-
 triot.
 BUDA PEsTH, March 24 The stu dents of Hungary, who have long been admirers of Louis Kossuth, determined yesterday that the people of this city should show outwardly at least the proper respect to the memory of the dead patriot. In accordance with that determination, hundreds of them at nightfall last night marched through the streets breaking lamps and win dowG of houses where no mourning was displayed, and also raided the theaters and concert halls and drove the actors from the stage and forced the audi ences to leave. The police rallied in force, and in the conflicts which fol- lowed twenty-two men were wounded.
 When strong band of the students entered the Royal opera house and Ma. tional theater, the attaches and the po- lice guards attempted to prevent them. The students fought their way into the bodies of the houses and stopped the performances They demanded that banners be displayed, and upon being met with refusals, themselves hoisted mourning banners brought with them over the boxes.
 Persons began to gather in crowds about the squares and other similar places this afternoon and their number was rapidly increased when the stu dents put in an appearance in force and began making addresses in which they referred in fiery language to the immense services which Kossuth had rendered to the cause of liberty and denounced in strong terms the action of the government in al- lowing him to die in exile. They were still luther incensed at the fact that the authorities had permitted the removal of the black flags placed in- side the theaters last night, they pre- pared to make further attacks upon the theaters, but the authorities had been preparing for disturbances and | the students found the theaters, con cert halls and other places of amuse- ment as well as the public buildings, strongly guarded by police. In addi- tion detachments of infantry and cav airy were under arms at the barracks and they were notified that the au thorities had determined to preserv C i the peace at any cost

 Two ragged newsboys were trying to sell the earlier editions of the after noon papers. while a bootblack, with his box slung over his back, was keep ing keen lookout for possible custom CTS Meanwhile, the three boys kept up running fire of street chaff, such as these Arabs delight in.
 Presently a man carrying a large bunch of fine bananas on his shoulder passed close by. The motion of his body loosened one of the biggest and ripest, and it fell to the sidewalk. The man kept on, not noticing or caring for his loss.
 The banana lay on the pavement for about half minute. Then the boot black spied it. and, with a cry of de- light, ran over and picked it up.
 The two newsboys saw him in the act, and in moment were by his side, eyeing the prize greedily.
 drew closer and watched the little comedy with interest At first, I ex- pected to see the bootblack eat the ba- mana himself, and triumph over his less fortunate companions, and was agree ably surprised to see him produce a pocket-knife and proceed to cut it into three pieces
 Every generous" l said to myself. | But then l noticed that one piece was considerably larger than either of the other two and my admiration was somewhat dampened. The others also noticed it, and one | of them said
 Huh! Jerry got the best of this deall''
 Jerry heard the remark, but he | grinned good-naturedly, and when the others had gone away with their share, | he unslung his box, sat down on it, and looked slyly around him. l followed the direction of his eyes, and presently saw little girl, who looked to be about eight years of age, with little faded shawl drawn around her thin form, and most distressed look in her pinched face
 She had three or four boxes of matches in her hand, but appeared to lack courage to sell them
 Say, Lu," said the bootblack, in a low voice.
 The girl approached slowly and tim idly.
 Dye like bananas?"
 The girl nodded her head vigorously.
 ''Then here's something for you"
 For me?" she asked, amazedly.
 "Yes; saved it for you"
 The girl took it in her hand eagerly and then paused with sudden thought
 'Where's yours?" she asked.
 I don't care for bananas" said Jerry springing up suddenly. "'Deed and double don't And I've had an apple and pear, and a peach to-day. Blacl your boots, sir? Shine?'

 Army win DIsband.

c.yrox O., March 2G-In the face ., sharp, cold wind that brought V' 't,r,rs to the frames of well-clad peo- C,v,v's army marched eight miles Ps,,r,I,y on the road to Washington. T,,ra were a few less than hundred
 t,b,m Not to exceed a dozen had Orarroots or gloves, They had slept .bo nicht before on pallets of straw in I,, airy and cheerless circus tent, and .Eor were greeted yesterday morning tr the disagrcea ble discovery that no J,,oiled arrangements had been made S,r feeding them Several hundred per- s,ns watched their departure from Mas si,Ion. About 5000 persons assembled o, inc temporary camp at Reedurban and host greeted the crusaders at canton. A heavy snow storm set in be- t,re the details of the camp had been c,mpleted and the trampers were hud- ded around roaring camp fires. About two-thirds of the men enlisted made the trip.
 One group of five men ran away in a bodv after breakfast and boarded a nassing freight train. Thirty of the ccmmonwealers spent the night as Iodrers at the Massillon police station. They comprised two entire groups, who could not be found when they were needed for picket duty. They were on hand for breakfast At s o'clock Mar sbal Louis smith summoned the men to come together and they were found to number eleven groups They were organized into commune. Smith drilled them on the meadows for half an hour. He has added several formal ities of military discipline to the rules of the commouweal. One of them is the plan of having them march in files of two, and more surprising iunova- ton is the adoption of military salutes.
 Two hours before the time for de- parture the tents were pulled down and preparations made for the trip. Outsiders were directed to leave the field and await the commonweal on the main streets of the town. Camp wagons and saddle horses were brought in from Coxiana, and the soldiers had 8 busy time of it A diversion was caused by bulletin from Coxiana an- nouncing that a steamer loaded with recruits had just passed that point laden with recruits from Canton. The steamer made the trip of nine miles in two and half hours, but only a few men from Canton were enrolled
 There is a we'll defined belief that Mir Coxey intends to desert the army here next Tuesday, and go to Chicago on the evening express Last Thurs day while returning from Pittsburgh Coxey asked a railroad official of this city at what time the evening west bound train was due to leave here. When informed it left at $40 he said he would be compelled to go to Chicago Tuesday night, as he had several trot- ters there that he wanted to sell at a horse sale on Wednesday. He said he expected to return and take charge of the army again at Beaver Falls on Sum- day. Bets were offered here of two tc one, with no takers, that the army woTld disband before they reached Pittsburgh.

AGRICULTURAL SOILS.

secretary Morton Creates a New Division
 in His Department.
 WASHINGTON, March 26.-Secretary Morton has created new division in the weather bureau to be known as the division of agricultural soils Prof. Milton Whitney has been appointed chief of the new division.
 The purpose of the new division is to pursue investigations of an analogous character carrying the climatic ob- servations of the weather bureau into the soil, where the moisture effects its work and makes it's influence felt upon the plant life. The secretary's order briefly defines the work as follows:
 Tt shall be the duty of this division to study the climatic conditions of heat and moisture under the surface of the ground, and the relation of these con- ditions to crop distribution"
 It is hoped that the work of the new division will result in acquiring a great deal of information of value to farmers on the character of soils in re- lation to the distribution of moisture to plants The solution of the prob lens involved will serve to determine the adaptability of certain kinds of soil to certain crops by which the value of land may be greatly increased, instances of this kind are strikingly furnished by the utiliza- ton for truck-farming in Maryland of lands unavailable for other crops and which as result have increased ten and twenty fold in value, and also by the adaptation in other states of cer- tain soils regarded heretofore as worthless for tillage, but which, hay ing been found to be of nature suited to the production of certain varieties or tobacco are now among the most valuable in their respe ctive states.
