THE HuNeARlAN STUDENTS

They Were Deter lined That Proper Re-
spect Should Be Paid to the Dead Pa
rriot.
RUDA PEsrH, 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
dows 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-five men-were wounded
When a 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
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 futher 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 Hamuse-
ment as well as the public buildings,
strongly guarded by police. In addi-
ton detachments of infantry and cav
airy were under arms at the barracks
and they were notified that the au
thorities had determined to preserv
the peace at any cost.

AGRICULTURAL SOILS.

Secretary Morton Creates a New Division
in His Department..
WASHINGTON, March 26.-Secretary
Morton has created a 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 OBJ
servations of the weather bureau in 20
the soil, where the moisture effects its
work and makes its influence felt upon
the plant life. The secretary's order
briefly defines the work as follows:
ut 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"
1t 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 adapta bility of certain kinds
of soil to certain crops by which
the VdIue OF ldnu may De greatly
increased, instances of this kind
are strikingly furnished by the utiliza-
ton for understanding 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 GER
tain soils regarded heretofore as
worthless for tillage, but which, hav-
ing been found to be of nature suited
to the production of certain varieties
of tobacco. are now among the most
valuable in their respe ctiTe states.
