Minister'S Resignation.

VIENNA. May 16.-Count Kalnoky, the
imperial minister of foreign affairs, has
resigned and the emperor has accepted his
resignation. The count rendered his resg-
nation over week ago, but 1t was not
then accepted.

of Mgr Agliardi, the papal nuncio, who
denounced the ecclesiastical laws The
matter was taken up by Baron Banffy, the
Hungarian premier, who communicated on
the subject with Count Kalnoky The lat
ter expressed surprise at the action of the
huhclo, and animated that representations
would be made on the subject to the Vati-
can Count kalnoky intended this to be a
private communication to Baron Banffy,
but the latter made it public in a speech in
the lower house OF the Hungarian diet.

led to the acceptance of Count Kalnoky' S
resignation.

FoRsAKEN Boom Towns IN KAN
sAs.-According to the Wall Street
Netos /" there are twenty well-built
towns in Kansas without a single in
habitant to waken the echoes Of their
deserted streets" 1t Is said that
Saratoga, one of these deserted viii
lagos, has "a thirty-thousand dollar
opera house, a large brick hotel, a
twenty-thousand dollar school house
and number Of fine business houses
with nobody to claim even a place
to sleep" All Of this came about
by booming on borrowed capital
without resources enough to pay the
interest. People moved away from
these towns as a new way of paying
old debts.
