Many Notables Present-Festivities
and Exhibition to Be Continued
Until the End of October.

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY, May 2.-The
inaugural ceremonies of the celebration
of the national millennium of Hung ary
were opened to-day. The skies were
clouded in the forenoon, but the weather
was otherwise pleasant.
Emperor Francis Joseph, as King of
Hungary. wearing the uniform of gem
eral and looking remarkably healthy and
vigorous, was received with great en-
thusiasm as he arrived upon the scene of
the ceremonies. His Majesty was accom-
panied by the Empress Elizabeth, Queen

The exercises were very successfully
carried out. The Austro- Hungarian Par
lament and the Austrian and Hungarian
Ministers, together with large number of
delegates from various Hungarian towns
and notables from all parts, were present.

last until October 81. The Millennial Ex-
hibition, which will be continued until

CANNOT BE PROSECUTED.
Many of the Noidtors of the Interstate
Commerce Law Have Gone
Into Retirement.

CHICAGO. ILL, May 2.-The prospect
is not bright for successful investigation
of the alleged beef trust and violations of
the interstate commerce law by railroad
men before the Federal Grand Jury, which
assem- bles in this city next Monday.
1t is known that only three men for
whom subpenas have been issued for
weeks have been served. They are A R.
Fay, freight manager for the packing firm
of Swift e. Co.; c. L. Thomas, freight
soliciting agent for the Chicago and Erie
G. E. Davis. confidential man with
Nelson Morris & Co., the packers.
Private detectives have been assisting
the Deputy United States Marshals in his
still hunt for the freight agents of the
railroads and shippers, but they were
quick to scent trouble ahead for them
selves and higher officials. All but the
unfortunate three went into hiding, being
given unlimited vacations on salary. Some
went to Europe and others to various parts
of the country.
A few are in Canada for their health. 1t
is common talk that substitutes are at
work for many employees of Armour,
Swift, Morris, Fowler Bros. and other
packers at their stockyard offices and
downtown, while many new faces are seen
in the city freight offices of the railroads.
Under these circumstances there is likely
to be a mistrial.

Bullets

MIDDLETOWN, N. Y, May 2.-Jay
Hit of Russellbrook has incurred the en-
nifty of whitecaps in that vicinity by liv-
ing with a woman not his wife. They
called on him on Saturday night and put
a notice on his door reading: You must
leave this vicinity by Tuesday night, or
YOU will nave trouble"
HIT did not prepare to leave, but went
to Cooks Falls and purchased rifle.
Tuesday night the wbitecaps went to his
place armed. They gathered about the
fouse and demanded that he come out
Hit replied by raising window in the
second story and appeared with the rife.
He fired one shot in the air and ordered
them to go away.
The disguised young men fed in all
directions and took refuge behind trees
and fences. Hit espied one more reckless
than the others creeping toward the house
and. fred. His bullet went wild, but it was
a signal for fusillade of shots from the
whitecaps. One hundred shots were fired
in the next half hour. TIE whitecaps
finally exhausted their ammunition and
withdrew. No one was injured, but every
window in the house was broken aud the
siding was full of holes. Hit and the
woman fed yesterday.

A BUCKET--SHOP VICTORY.
Declared by a Chicago Judge to
Be as Legitimate as
Boards of Trade.
The Grand Jury Ignores the Decision
and Issues Another Batch
of Indictments.

CHICAGO, ILL, May 2.-Judge Horton
to-day decided that bucket-shops are as
legitimate as the Board of Trade, and
quashed the eleven indictments against
William Skakel and ten others, charged
with being proprietors or employees in
bucket-shops.
The Board of Trade does a wholesale
business in wheat dealing" said Judge
Horton, land what are called the bucket
shops do retail trade. There is absolutely
no difference in the method of operating,
and the statute which makes the Board of
Trade business legitimate does the same
for all dealers who conduct the same line
of trade. While l believe personally that
it is all nothing but gambling, the law
allows it, and the courts are powrrless."
The remaining 400 cases against people
who have been indicted for the same
offense will be called up on Monday and
will be thrown out of court in the same
way.
The Grand Jury this afternoon ignored
Judge Horizons decision and issued 149
more indictments against proprietors of
