An Odd Event Among the Poor OF
Hungary.

An Odd Event Among the Poor OF
Hungary.
a striking article on the agricult
condition in Hungary has just been
published in the Nenes Wiener j ournal,
under the title Of 1.-THE Dance Of the
Starving" From this it appears that
the peasants of the Alfoeld plain have
recently organized a number Of popular
balls, which have been attended by
thousands. This does not imply that
the people are particularly happy or
prosperous. On the contrary, owing
to the strike Of last summer and the
bad harvest, their condition is one Of
great need. The dances are the result
OF the bill passed in the Hungarian
reichstag for regulating the relations
between land owners and their labor
ers. That bill is regarded as excep-
tionally hostile to the latter. For the
laborers, however, liberty Of speech and
CT public meeting is so restricted as to
render Ill gatherings for political pur-
poses practically impossible. Hence
this stratageln OF popular balls. It is
pointed out that the accounts Of these
peasant dancing parties are accom-
panied by the news of acts of pillage
and a strike against taxes, which have
rendered necessary the intervention of
the military. The present movement is
direct consequence of the harvest
strike Of last summer, and of the meas
ures adopted by the government to pre-
vent its recurrence. The obnoxious
bill, according to the Neues. Wiener
Journal, delivers up the laborer to the
arbitrary discretion of his employer,
emitting the latter to put an end to
. the agreement he has entered into, and
to withhold the wages he has agreed to
pay II the laborer should, in his opin-
ion, be socialist agitator. If the la
borer, however, should fail to appear
at the time and place appointed, the
employer is empowered to call upon
the authorities to force him to carry
out his contract. The laborer has no
legal remedy against this proceeding,
while the employer is assured of the
cooperation Of the authorities in the
event OF strike. Such Injustice as
this, as the writer remarks, might con-
vert q strike very easily into a rebel
lion.

Lack Of Forage Makes the Animals
Useless In Alaska.

Washington, April 10 The com
plete failure of the Alaskan reindeer
expedition was announced to the war
department Monday in a telegram
from General Merriam commanding
the department of the Columbia. The
telegram summarizes the report from
Or Sheldon Jackson at Dyea to the
eject that the reindeer are a failure
In Alaska for the want of proper for
Bye and are useless for all exploring
expeditions in Alaska and that many
are already dead On the advice of
Captain Ray and on his own judgment
Dr.. Jackson recommends the recall Of
the expedition, remarking that Cap
tain Ray brings full information OF
the region that IL was expected TO ex-
plore and the services OF Captain
Brainard are no longer required in
that connection. The expedition was
to have proceeded to Dawson from
Dyea. over the Dawson trail In com
mand OF Captain Brainard, An order
has accordingly been issued at the
war department relieving Captain
Brainard from duty with the expedi-
ton and directing him TO report 10
the commissary general Of subsistence

that IL farther attempts OF that kind
are in process they are being directed

rumors in that connection in circula-

To assure the Spanish ministry

from the mother country.
Probably with view of availing

miral is at his home in New York

London, April l9.-Si Charles Dixie,
a member OF parliament, is quoted in
an interview on the Spanish-Ameri-
can crisis as expressing the opinion
that the two opposing fleets are
about evenly balanced and therefore
the decisive battle will be fought at
sea. If said Sir Charles, the
Americans win, the war will be over.
If Spain wins it will be the beginning
of a long struggle which must end In
the crushing defeat of Spain. Sir
Charles expressed the opinion that
both sides would be allowed access to
British coaling stations, allowing "a
hours to elapse between the departure
of one nations ships and the arrival
of its enemy to coal. He also said he
anticipated considerable trouble from
the chaotic state of international law,
and announced that his sympathies
were with the United States and that
the United States is quite right in In
terfering in Cuba, adding although
