lnauSurdIeQ Dy the SIQQe0tS yesterday was
continued to-day. AS matter of precau-
ton, there greater and increased
display of mourning ernblems this morn
ing, as the students had threatened the
citizens who refused to make such an ex-
hibition of respect to the memory of Kos
suth. This afternoon the students gathered
on the streets and public squares and made
violent 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 allowing
him to die in exile. The students were still
further incensed at the fact that the au-
thorities had permitted the removal of the
black flags which the students had placed
inside the theaters last night, and upon
making this discovery they prepared for a
systematic renewal Of the disorder of yes
terday. They started to raid the theaters,
but were met by large body OF police
and driven away
Soon after 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, in
sisting that Parliament was not doing suffl-
cient TO honor the memory Of the dead pa

and sharp engagement with the police
followed. The police, strongly reinforced,
drove back the mob, but the excited people
seemed determined to force entrance
into the House of Parliament, for Ii re-
quired a number of charges on the part of
the police before the crowd was kept within
a reasonable distance of the doors. The
police also had the greatest difficulty in

ACTION OF THE DEPUTIES.
Inside the Parliament house there was
a large attendance of Deputies. and the
public galleries were packed with people.

ly wearing mourning 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. and almost broke down when he
spoke of the patriots death in a foreign
| land. He concluded by asking for the
unanimous Ii adoption Of the proposals made
| the Council of Ministers, who, at the con-
| ference of the Liberal members of the Hun
garfan Diet, last evening, suggested that
the house express the nations gratitude
| for the service rendered 10y Kossuth, and
that 1t also send telegram expressing;
| sympathy with the family of the dead
general. DR.. Wekerle also suggested that
deputation of members of the lower house
be appointed to go to Turin in order to

RIOTING RENEWED.

day assembled before the opera house and
| made riotous demonstration. insisting that
the mourning flag should be rehoisted on
| the building. At first the managers of the
| opera house refused to listen to the de-
| mands of the mob, but when the latter
| seemed upon the point OF forcing it's way
| into the building the black flag was hoisted.
! The Journalists Club was also threatened
| by riotous mob, and the people. headed
by students, became SO demonstrative that
| the police were compelled to fire with blank
| cartridges upon the mob, and, in addition,
| the police made several charges, scattering
| the crowd, wounding number of people
| and making many arrests. Cavalry and in
| fantry patTolled the streets during the aft
ernoon and night, but their presence was
not sufficient to preserve order.
| Shortly after dark crowds began to gather
| in certain of the cafes and other places of
public resort. Soon the crowds took to the
| streets, where their numbers were rapidly
| augmented, and began acting in riotous
| manner. The most serious disorder occurred
| outside the opera house. The black flag
had been hauled down again after the mill
| tary had succeeded in driving the crowd
from the vicinity of the building late in
| the afternoon, but when this news spread
| ii excited the deepest Indignation among
the populace. 1t was said the flag had been
of Kossuth. but simply for the purpose OF
| appeasing the fury of the mob. Tonight
| Andrassy strasse and other streets in the
| vicinity were filled with a mob the mem
| bers of which bitterly denounced the gov
| eminent and the director of the opera

| Finally some men in the crowd began TO
| throw stones. while others hurled insulting
| epithets at the troops and the police. The
! cavalry and police charged upon them with
| drawn swords. The mob resisted, and stub
| bornly defended every inch of ground. The
| soldiers and police had their hands full.

In the meantime. rioting of a less dan
