A GREAT STRIKE.
Hungary Threatened With Mighty
Labor Trouble.


In Hungary the harvest is in crit
zeal state, says the London Economist.
Not only has the Indictment weather
dashed the hopes of an excellent mar
vest to the ground, but for the first
time the effect of the Socialist propa-
ganda is felt to a large extent IN the
very heart of agricultural Hungary, III
the fertile Alfoid country. a universal
strike of harvest laborers has been an
nounced, but the Hungarian Govern
ment have decided not to expose the
ingathering of the harvest, upon which
the well-being of the whole country
depends, to the good or bad will of the
labOrerS.
A great number of most energetic
measures have been taken. Not only
has the number of gendarmes in all
the threatened provinces been IN
creased, but the consent of the war
Minister has been given to the CON
centratiOn of troops, whose task 1t Will
| be to protect the laborers who Will
work, so that the strikers cannot ter
roriZe them. The Minister OF Agr1cul-
| ture has decided to concentrate an
! army of harvest laborers on the Gov
eminent estate of Mezohegyes, where
| they will be provided for until need
| for them arises.
AS long as the laborers engaged for
| the harvest keep their engagements,
! these reserve labOrerS will Work on
| the Government estate. But the mo-
ment that any proprietor sends word
| that his laborerS have struck work, the
| required number of labOrers Will De
sent to the property in question, pro-
tected by soldiers, who will stay on
the property until the harvest is over
| Should these reserves be insufficient to
satisfy all demands, the Government
has provided that the men employed IN
the extensive Government forests shall
be ready to help in the harvest, ana II
more still are needed, convicts will be
taken from the prisons.

JOHN MILTON DEAD.
Failed to Recover From Wound
on Head.

Failed to RECOVER FROM "OuH0
on Head.
John Milton the man who was beat
en- about the head in drunken row at
Iwilei, some time ago, and who had
been in the hospital for treatment,
died at 3:15 p. m. yesterday without
being able to make any kind of state
ment. his mind appearing to be COM
nIetely gone. The injury to the skull,
affecting the brain, was the cause of
death
Some of the natives who took part
in the fight in which Milton was in
iured have been arrested, and others
will probably follow. Part of the story
of the ARRAY has already been OBJ
tanned.
1t seems that in previous encounters
of the kind Milton had always been the
| toughest man, and succeeded in
knocking out all corners. The natives
| did not like this and swore they would
| down him some time or other. The
opportunity came, and while Milton
was struggling against number OF
| natives, a very young fellow stepped
I'D and hit him over the head with
stick. He was not given chance
to see that the blow was coming, as it
! fell from behind, and Milton became
| senseless.
He was picked up by the mounted
police, examined at the Police Sta
| ton and sent Immediately to the hos
pital. which place he never left.
A day or so ago Captain Parker ex-
amined a couple of the natives, but
they professed total ignorance of the
whole affair. The next day they were
confronted with Milton's friend, ma
tive who was on the scene at the time
| of the fight, and who swore out the
warrants of arrest for the assailants.
At that time they became frightened
and told the whole story, each varying
hut little from the other.
The funeral services of the late John
Milton will take place from the Queens
HOSPITAL at II a. m. today, the Rev

ROBBER LOCATED.

Sacramento, Cal, April 13.-In an
interview published in the Bee, James
Collins, now in Jail here acknowledges
that he is Cuckoo" Collins wanted by
the police of Denver for the robbery
of a jewelry store March 9, 1896. The
robbery was one of the most daring
on record, a man having no confeder-
ates going into a store and boldly es-
Gaping with a tray containing $4,000
worth of diamonds. Collins tells of
his movements after his flight from
Denver. He related his adventures in
Australian gold fields and tells how
change in the charter of a British ves-
sci on which he was steward saved
him from being captured by the Pin
kertons at Honolulu.

ton of $4,000 to pay Bacon & Graves
for land on which patents cannot is
sue was adopted.

ment providing that hereafter all
state and county officers, including
the secretary of state, shall be elected
for four years instead of two.
The resolution was engrossed after

PROBABLY LOST.

San Francisco, April 1S-The gener-
al opinion in shipping circles is that
some dire calamity has befallen the
American ship Samaria, twenty-three
days out from Seattle for San Francis
co, coal laden. Several captains who
started from Seattle at the same time
are firmly convinced that the Samaria
is at the bottom of the sea. The mas
ter, Capt. McRae, had on board his
wife and two children. The other YES
sci which started in company with the
Samaria made the trip in eleven or
twelve days. 1t is known that several
days after the Samaria sailed she was
caught in a severe gale which Capt.
Ryder, of the Ewell, declared was the
worst he ever encountered. The Sa-
maria was built in 1876 and it is said
she was under a disadvantage of hav-
ing poor shifting boards.

Washington, April 13.-To the Re-
publicans of Texas: take this meth
cd of explaining to the people of our
state, who are in quest of Federal po-
sitions, some of the needs and require
ments from their standpoint. l am
daily receiving such volume of mail
from Texas, that l find it a matter of
utter tnpossibilty to reply. My time
is taken up during the day and great
part of the night in attending to the
demands of the situation, and l rely
upon the good judgment and courteous
regard with which l have been uni
formly the recipient of from the people
of Texas, to pardon what may seem
like neglect in not answering commu-
nicatiOns. 1t will be remembered, /
hope, that while at home, l make it a
point to reply to all letters, and that
promptly, which l find my time total
ly too much occupied to do now
while here. desire to say
that it will be my pleasure to advance
the interests of those whom l deem
worthy for positions of trust under the
present administration. In forming
my conclusions / shall be largely in
fluenced by the desires Of the people,
whom / regard as the best judges of
who should serve them in their locali-
ties; and when l say the people l mean
the whole people. OF course in the
selection of office holders, those in har-
mony with the administration will be
the ones considered. 1t is needless for
those who cannot get a good endorse
ment to apply, as, in order to most sat
isfactorily serve the people, they must
be pleased with the Apprentices, there
fore, their voice will be heard. Due
regard will, in every instance, be given
to the wishes of the Republican organ
ization in all it's branches. 1t is the
we'll defined policy of the administra-
ton to allow incumbents to serve their
time out. No special consideration
will be given to cases that have not al
ready expired or soon will expire. My
advice is to get as large an endorse
ment as possible in all cases, and to
keep all papers bearing on the case
together, and finally send them direct
to the proper departments for filing,
where l will come in contact with
them.

able to reply. My address, while here

western lawn tennis in the retirement
from the courts of Champion Neal has
Mapped. As was announced some time

never given UP hope that he would
defend his title as champion tennis
player during the coming season.
Delegations of tennis enthusiasts
have been to see him repeatedly in the
last three weeks and have labored
with him to represent Chicago again
this season. But last night the mat
ter was put beyond argument. Mr..
