la Hungary.
BUDA-PESTH, HUNGARY, April 3.--An
attempt was made last night to blow up
the monument erected to the memory of
the Austrian General Hentzi and Ais sol
diers who fell while defending the fortress
against the Hungarians in 1S49. The mon
ument, which stands on Georg Platz, is a
Gothic column in bronze, Go feet high, ris-
ing over group of dying heroes, crowned
by victory. A well-dressed man was seen
to deposit near the monument parcel to
which was attached lighted fuse. A ire
mendous explosion followed, shattering
the windows of Archduke Josepb's palace,
the armory and other public buildings in
the vicinity. The monument, however,
was uninjured.
Later in the day it was announced that
the attempt to blow up the monument was
made by the editor of an evening paper,
the Olswad. He had previously been inn
prisoned, after having been convicted of
lese majestic. He has been taken into Gus
tody.

accused Hen Gire,s a Hearing dmd 1hen
admitted to Bail.


OMAHA, April 3.-The preliminary
hearing of the eight men who have been
arrested on the charge of having been i'm
phcated in the burning of St. PauFs Polish
Church began this afternoon IN the Police
Court. All of themen succeeded in lind
ing bondsmen. The hearing was not COM
pleted. There will be considerable evil
dence introduced The details of the evil
dence the police are not inclined to dis
cuss.
It's acknowledged that the night pre-
ceding the fire boy went to one of the
grocerv-stores in Shelly street and pur-
chased a can of kerosene, saying it was for
Priest Karminski. The name of this boy
has not yet been learned, but detectives
are working on the clew. Friends of the
accused men are confident they will all be
discharged. They claim that there is not
enough evidence to bind them over to the
District Court. Friends of the accused say
that they have had the detectives working
on the case since the fire and that they
have discovered sufficient evidence to war
rant them in swearing out complaints
against members of the Bishop Scannell
party,

oMAHA,s Police DEPARTMENT
The fiction of the Legislature May Cause
Supreme Court Litigation.

OMAHA, NEBR.. April "a special to
the Bee from Lincoln says: The bill which
will place Omaha's Fire and Police Depart
ment in the hands of the a. P. a. passed
the Legislature to-day over the Governors
veto. The measure provides that the Gov
ernor, Acknowledgement and Commissioner
of Public Lands and Buildings shall ap-
point the persons who shall constitute the
Omaha Fire and Police Commission, two
of whom may be of the same party.
The Attorney-General and Commits
sioner of Public Lands and Buildings are
A. P. a. men. Every business man of
prominence in Omaha protested against
the measure, since it cuts the Mayor of the
city off from all participation in the con-
troll of city affairs. The Police Commission
at present is a non-partisan body.
There was an exciting scene in the House
when the bill came up. NJ. o. Ricketts,
read from an editorial in an Omaha paper,
which said that policeman's club was
held over the heads of witnesses to pre-
vent them from testifying before the pend
ing investigation. Ricketts, said that the
same policeman's club prevented Omaha
from giving Tom Majors 5000 majority for
Governor last fall.
When the bill passed the House there
ensued scene of wild confusion. Tom
Majors sprang into the center of the aisle
and waved his hat, at the same time Civ
ing wild yell. The lobby joined, and
then the crowd began to sing "We'll Hang
jeff Davis to a Sour Apple Tree"
All Omaha is indignant over the result
and will probably carry the matter to the
SuDreme Court

books was changed from Is per cent adj
valorem to cents pound with an addi-
tional 1219 per cent on reprints of British
copyright works. A clause was attached,
however, providing that on March 81, 1895,
this additional duty of 121a per cent on re-
prints of copyright works should cease to
be collected, SO that the law to-day is
changed to this extent and the protection
afforded to British authors of Canadian
works has ceased. This duty has been
dubious source OF income to the authors,
but its withdrawal will doubtless con-
tribute to the controversy now going on in
England over the subject of Canada's right
to control this class of legislation.

select the members of the Nicaraguan
Canal Commission, but. the subject was
not considered at the meeting. Not one of
the three commissioners has yet been

army officer, and no determination has
yet been reached as to the civilian mem

the necessary works and then prepare
report before November 1 next.

MEDICAL PRACTITIONER.
Canadian Students Who Fail of Eram.
in0tion Come to the United States.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 3.-The
subject of the practice of medicine in the
United States by Canadian medical stu
dents who have failed to pass the examina-
ton required to admit them to practice in
the province of Ontario is brought to the
attention of the State Department by a
report from Consul Twitchell at Kingston,
Canada.
The Consul says during the year 1894
100 students were graduated from the On
tario Medical College. OF these fifty-three
passed the examination required by the
medical council of the Government before
being allowed to practice in Canada. The
other forty-seven he thinks probably went
to the United States, where the graduation
from the medical college permits them to
practice in most of the States without fur
ther examination.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 3.-The
President has suspended his action on the
proceedings and sentence of dismissal of
the naval court-martiai in the case of Com
mander Frederick E. Smith, retired, in
view of the fact that the officer, by power
of attorney, dated March %, had placed
the entire management of his financial
affairs in the hands of his brother, General
Joseph Smith of Bangor, Mo-, giving him
full authority to undertake the discharge
of his financial obligations. The practical
effect of the Presidents action is to retain
in him the power to give the sentence at
any time hereafter should the officer fail to
fulfill his promise.
