SENSATION IN HUNGARY.
suggestion of AbsOIutist Govern
ment I'm Austria,

BUDAPEST, October N.-In the lower
house of the Hungarian parliament to-
day, Baron Banffy, the Premier, reply
ing to Herr Francis Kossuth, son Of the
celebrated Hungarian patriot who urged
the government to take advantage Of
Austria's choas, and try for Hungary's
independence" declared that the minis
try had no intention Of turning Austria's
difficulties to the advantage Of the Hun
garians
"The union Of the two countries" he
declared, must be regarded as indsso-
luble. Should the Austrian constitutional
system break down, which God forbid,
the Hungarian Government would be
obliged TO act independently regarding
the joint questions of the customs and
commercial treaty between Austria and
Hungary, and the charter provisions of
the Austro-H Hungarian banks
This announcement caused a great sem
sation, as IL is believed that Baron
Banffy spoke with the consent of the
Empero<King, and that his statement
points to the possibility OF Absolutist
government in Austria.

GENERAL LEES DEPARTURE.
His Political POsitiOn-He Is Always
Democrat.

~
WASHINGTON, d. c.. october 27.-(Spe-
cial)-A private letter received here
states that General Fitzhugh Lee will
arrive in this city about the 9Th of No
vember. and will probably remain here
several days He will have conferences
with the President and Secretary Of
state. and then. probably, sail for Cuba
Close friends of General Lees deny the
published statement that he ever wrote
a letter while Internal Revenue Collector
at I.ynohburg. at the instance Of Seere-
tary Carlisle, in favor of the gold stand
ard and the Indianapolis platform.
IL has always. they say, been the fixed
policy of the General not to interfere in
nolitics while in the Federal service, and
his course for several years past bears out
this assertion. They claim that the Gene
raj Is always a Democrat, and that he
has ever been a devoted and active sup.
porter Of all the Democratic platforms,
both State and national, since he has
been in political life.
It is understood this evening that the
excitement in Spain and Cuba, consequent
upon the change of administration in
hoth countries, may render General Lees
departure for Habana earlier than he an
tlcipated. though there is no official in
timation at the State Department to this
effect

financial condition of the country to the
discovery of gold in Alaska, and to the
famine in India, which. he said, the Re-
publicans were rejoicing over, even
though the famine resulted in the loss OF
thousands of lives.
From Montpelier the train was hurried
to Defiance, where an afternoon meeting
was held. There was a large crowd at
the depot at Defiance, and crowds had
assembled at the stations along the way.
An audience of 5000 people, majority of
whom were Republicans, 1t is said,
listened to the Defiance speech, which
did not differ materially from that de-
livered at Montpelier. The applause was
liberal, though IL was apparent that Nlr.
Bryan was less of an attraction than
when, as presidential candidate, he
visited Ohio last fall.

NEW YORK CENTRAL WRECK.
Depew's Opinion That Ii Was Caused
by Dynamite.

COLD SPRING, n. Y, October H.-
President Depews opinion that the dis
aster of Monday morning on the New
York Central railway was the result Of
a dynamite explosion, planned by enc
mics OF the corporation. finds many up
holders among railway officials and citi-
zens familiar with the conditions.
IF the embankment of the railway was
torn up by dynamite, the motive of those
who did it was not robbery, but revenge" T"
was the statement made by one official
OF the road to-day "A rigorous inves-
tigation is being made, and at least one
man may be arrested to-day"
When the party Of twenty-six road
masters Of the New York Central system
arrived at the scene early Monday morn
ing and commenced a critical survey of
the section OF the embankment which
had been either washed or blown out.
one OF the roadmasters. man who has
had great experience In the use OF dyna-
mite. said that the excavation looked to
him very much like the work Of dyna-
mite. The tendency OF dynamite is 10
blast downward. rather than upward or
outward, and one OF the expert track
builders OF the railroad says that very
light charge OF dynamite would have coll
lapsed a section OF track fully as ex-
tensive as the section In question.
The locomotive was found In the river
al least thirty feet south OF the depres-
si n in the track. which makes II seem
reasonably certain that the engine leaped
he space before IL started In It's plunge
into the muddy bottom OF the river. 1t
is known that the engineer had shut OF
his steam and applied the air-brakes 10
the train before the crash came, and
these conditions lead the officials TO be-
lave that Engineer Foyle saw that some-
thing was wrong with the track In
time to apply the brakes before he went
into the river with his engine. Still. II

mission.

VAN VERT, o.. October H.-W. j.
BRYAN began a short campaigning tour IN
Ohio this morning. He travelled In
private car. The first meeting was at
MONTPELIER. where an audience OF 5000
persons. from all parts of the county,
had assembled. Mr.. Bryan questioned the
honesty OF the vote Of Ohio lest year.
and then took UP the silver question.
He said the Republican party promised
last year to do what it could to get rid
of the gold standard. He then reviewed
the work of the monetary commission
which had been sent to Europe, and said
,ts mission had failed because the money
changers were opposed to 1t.
Mr.. Bryan attributed the improved

his engine sinking.
Gencral-Manager Toucey. OF the New
York Central, believes that the disaster
was caused by a break In the engines
machinery. Mr.. Toucey said to-day:
II believe something broke on the en-
gine. and ploughed up. the ground and
Jared the roadbed so that il loosened the
embankmcnt. The sudden stoppage OF
the train caused the cars TO double up on
each other. and helped TO loosen the road
bed. That is what i believe caused
the accident. That Is the conclusion
reached from my investigation of the
facts. II there had been dynamite ex-
plosion before the train reached that
place. the engine could not have passed
over 1t and come seventy-five feet this
side, as IL did"
