strongly guarded by police. In add

In spite of the fact that all the police
force of Buda-Pesth and the neigh bor-
hood is on duty here today, and
though reiniOrcements of the police
have been drafted here from neighs
! boring cities, the authorities find the
greatest difficulty in preserving order.
The officers in charge of the police
were instructed to do everything pos
sible to prevent viOleut outbreak, as
it is feared that any conflict will re
suit in considerable bloodshed.
An enormous and excited crowd
gathered in front OF the parliament
house, which was strongly guarded.
Led on by the excited students, the
people filled the air with shouts and
threats, insisting that parliament was
not doing sufficient 10 homer the NOM
DRY Of the dead patriot. Finally the
crowd made rush toward the doors
of the parliament house and sharp
engagement with the police followed.
The police, strongly reinforced, drove
back the mob, but the excited people
seemed determined to force an en-
trance into the house of parliament,
for it required number of charges
upon the part of the police before the
crowd was kept within a reas enable
distance of the doors.
The police also had the greatest
difficulty in keeping passage way
through the crowd for the arrival of
the deputies. But when il was no.
wore mourning the people became
better humored and heartily cheered
the popular deputies, who were recog-
nized on their way to the entrance
gates.
Inside the parliament house there
was large attendance of deputies
and the public galleries were packed
with people, either dressed in mourn
ing or copspicuously wearing mourn
ing badges. When the president
arose to address the house the most
profound silence was observed
throughout the chamber. All the
deputies arose from their seats and
stood with bowed heads while the
president announced the death of
Louis Kossuth. The president was
most deeply affected while making
his address to the deputies and almost
broke down when he spoke of the pa
triot's death in foreign land. He
concluded by asking for the unani-
nous adoption of the proposals
made by DR.. Alexander Wekerle,
president of the council of ministers,
who at the conference of the Liberal
members of the Hungarian diet last
evening suggested that the house ex-
press the nations gratitude for the
services rendered by KOssuth, and
that it also send telegram express
jns sympathy with the family of this
dead general.
DIR. Wekerle suggested that depu.
tation of members from the lower
house be appointed to GO to Turin
in order to place wreath upon Kos
suth's bier, and that the house ad-
journ until after the funeral.
After the president of the house had
made the propositions agreed upon
with DIR. Wekerle, M. Justh, leader
of the Hungarian dependents, warm d.
ly protested against thu proposals as
being inadequate, lengthily extolling
Kossuth's services to Hungary and
moved that the expense ofhls funeral
be borne by the state, that
his services be recorded in act of par
lament, anu that the municipal au-
thOrities be instructed to close all the
theatres until after the funeral. FL.
nally NJ. Justh proposed vote of
the Italian government and to the
municipal authorities of Turin for thu
hospitable way they had treated the
exiled patriot.
Count Apponyi moved. that Kos
sUth's death be declared a national
loss and that the lower house OF the
diet itself pay the expenses of his fu-
neral.
DR.. Wekerle, who arose to reply for
the Cover nment, declared that the
latter could only accept the proposals
