LONDON, March 20.-A dispatch from
Buda Pesih says the Hungarian Govern
ment and the members of the National
party in the Diet have arrived at an agree
ment regarding the donors that will be
shown Louis Kos~uth, now that he is dead.
BY reaching this agreement the fall of the
Ministry is averted.
Louis Kossuth was born on April 81.
1902. at Monok. in the county of Z-mplln,
Northern Hungary. His parents were
81 avonic and noble. The best that his
father could do for the family was to
give them liberal education, and this
Kossuth enjoyed, finishing his collegiate
course at Patak. When a young man he
knew five languages we'll. including Latin.
For short time he practced law, but his
genius was for government and for the
controversies of politics, in which he soon
showed himself an adept. In the old
Presburg Diet OF 1892 SO he acted as proxy
for a magnate in the Upper House, and
this gave him deliberative voice in the
Lower Houee. To reach the people he
circulated in manuscript a succession of
parliamentary communications" and
afterward he published a photographic
sheet. He excited the wrath of the Aus
trians and was seized and sentenced to
four years Imprisonment.
Being released before the expiration of
his sentence be found that his popularity
had increased. In the main he occupied
himself with journalistic work and with

he edited four years, had large circula-
tion. In 1S47 he was elected member of
the Diet fer Pesth and was recognized as
the leader of the House.
Hungary was thrown into Intense excite

Paris in 1S4S. Kossuth proposed an ad-

restoration Of Hungarian Independence

the whole Austrian empire. The people
of Vienna supported Kossuth's movement.
The Ministry fell and Metternich fed.

the formation of a ministry in Hungary.
made Kossuth Minister of Finance. In
1S4S the Hungarian National Assembly
WAS convoked at Pestb, in the room of
the Presburg Diet. Kossuth bent all his
energies TO prepare for the struggle which
he saw was inevitable. Austria revoked
all CONCESSIONS which had been made, and
while civil war was raging Kossuth de-
clared that the Hapsburg dynasty had
forfeited the throne and acted with extra
ordinary vigor as president of the commit

Hungary its independence. Unfortunately
for the Hungarian cause the opportunity
was allowed TO pass and With the arrival
of Russian invading army under Prince
Pa -kewich the popular movement was
crushed.
