Charges Made in Hungarian
Diet Lead to Lively
Scene.

Buda Pest, Feb. 8-A renewed dis
cussion in the lower house of the diet
today in relation to the riots at
Maros- Vasar-Hely, led to such an up
roar that the sitting had to be sus-
pended.
A member of the opposition, Endry,
having charged the minister of JUS
tice with forcing the judicial author
tiles at Marcos asar-Hely to support
the ministerial candidate, the minister
declared Endry's statements false.
The greatest uproar ensued and the
sitting was suspended.
On the resumption Of business the
minister said his observations were
merely hypothetical. He did not wish
to reflect on Endry's honor, but if the
latter desired other satisfaction he
would willingly oblige him. Endry
said he thought he had the right to
some satisfactory explanation.

BOUND TO FIGHT
Pugs Deny Jurisdiction of Court
to Restrain Boxing
Matches.

Cincinnati, Feb. 8-With the excep-
ton of W. A. Brady, who did not ar
rive from New York till tonight, all
the witnesses have been heard on the
application for an injunction against
the Jeffries- Rubin contest. Counsel
for the Saengerfest Athletic club are,
not sure tonight that Brady will be
called. In any event counsel on both
sides have agreed to limit their argu-
ments so that the case will be closed
tomorrow night.
Judge Hollister is not expected to
reserve his decision longer than next
Monday.
Even if an injunction is issued
against a prizefght it is stated that
the promoters will claim the right to
pull of a boxing contest here next Fri
day night, and keep within the bounds
of a sparring match in both the 10
round bouts between Childs and Mar
lin and the 30 round contest between
Jeffries and Rubin. The defedants
deny the jurisdiction of the court to
restrain such a boxing contest as is

STILL ONE MORE
Newspaper Railroad Manipulation
A1nalgamates Northern Pac-
ifc and Burlington.

St. Paul, Feb. 8-The Pioneer Press
tomorrow will say upon the author
ity'of a railroad man, who is said to
be in the counsels Of parties interest
ed, that a plan is Oh foot for the
amalgamation Of the Northern Pa
cific and Burlington roads.
The Great Northern will not be a
factor in the scheme.
It is pointed out that the Burlington
and Northern Pacific now have a close
traffic arrangement, the former haul
ing Northern Pacific cars from Kansas
City to Billings and the latter hauling
Burlington cars through to the coast.
In addition the Burlington runs its
own solid trains to Portland.
The idea is that amalgamation will
be in the interest Of economy in
operating the roads.
President Mellen is now in New
| York, and it is said that when he re-
turns he will have scored a point on
his rivals.

SHALL PAY PART
Cubans to Share in Cost Of
War for Their
Freedom.

Washington, Feb. 8-Representative
Levy of New York today introduced
a resolution in the house authorizing
the president to appoint a commission
to ascertain the actual amount of
money expended by the United States
in the prosecution of the war with
Spain to secure the freedom and indie
pendence of the island of Cuba, in
Guiding probably the pension pay
ments. The commission shall report
just what fair proportion Of this total
amount shall be borne by Cuba, to the
president, who is directed to commun-
ioate it to the constitutional conven-
tion of Cuba, with the suggestion that
it is regarded by the United States as
a claim against the island of Cuba and
that the United States demands that
the constitutional convention shall
not recognize or contract other claims
or debts which shall take precedence Of
my claim of the United States.

GREAT LOSS MAY FOLLOW

Against Fire-Caused by
Frozen Streams.

Butte, Feb. 8-Buttte is suffering
from a serious water famine and the
city is almost without fire protection.
All of the mines of the Anaconda,
Boston & Montana, Butte & Boston,
Washoe-P arrott, Colorado and Mon
tana Ore Purchasing companies have
been compelled to suspend operations
on account of the failure IF the water
supply, about 800 men have been tenn
porarily laid off. Many of the min

stop the pumps at some Of the mines,
and if the suspension continues for any
length of time the mines will fill with
water and the damage be very great
Consumers in the city have been
notified that water may be used only
for two hours in the morning and two
hours i'll the evening.
The shortage is due to the continued
cold weather which has frozen solid
the mountain streams from which the
supply of water is derived. In addi-
tion the big pumps of the water com-
pany have become disabled.

THEIR LAST DAY
House Will Consider No More
Private Pension Bills
This Term.

Washington, Feb. 8-This was prob
ably the last day to be devoted to pri-
vate pension legislation by the house
of representatives in this congress.
The high water mark, made in the
Fifty-first congress, was almost
reached today when 1874 bills were
passed, against 1877 passed at a single
session in the former congress. In all,
the house at this congress has passed
about 900 bills, a number considerably
exceeded in the Fity-frst.
A general pension bill a passed to
restore to the pension rolls widows of
soldiers of the rebellion who subse-
quently married and became widows
or divorced. By the terms of the bill,
however, its benefits are limited to
widows of soldiers who were married
before the close of the rebellion and
who are now dependent upon their
own labor for support.

MANY ARE GUILTY
Manila Business Men. Active
in Giving Aid to
Insurgents.

Manila, Feb. 8-Since the arrest of
Theodore Carranza and D. w. Car
man, charged with furnishing supplies
to aid the insurgents, evidence has
been rapidly developing tending to
show to show that not the Carman
company alone, but many business
men in Manila have been having re-
lations with the insurgents.
The secret service officers today
brought from Pagsamjan three natives,
.Cosme, Almonte and Llamos, mem
bers of General Cialla's insurgent
committee in that district. The
papers found on them were so per-
sonally discriminating that they were
led to divulge damaging information
concerning Carman and others not
arrested. Cosme acknowledged that
he was Carman's partner in insurgent
trading.
Llamos has become distinguished
by his o~ratory among the Filipinos.
The police learned that Faballo, ex-
president and ally of Carman in his
Laguna de Bay dealings, has $40, 600
in insurgent money deposited in the
Spanish Filipino bank at Manila. The
officers confiscated this money. Man
ager Bilbas, of the bank, who had
loaned Carman a considerable sum of
money without security, is under sus-
picion.
New patches of discriminating evil
dence were received by the provost
marshal today.
It has been ascertained that Fabello
Withdrew $40, 90 of the funds of Cen
eral Caille's insurgent committee that
had been deposited in the Spanish
Filipino hank and invested it in two
steamers and a tobacco concern. The
police will seize the property.
It is rumored again in Cavite prov
ince that Aguinaldo has been seen at
Indang.

SUBJECT DEEPLY ENGROSSEs
SENATORIAL MINDS.
PLANS that Are PROPOSED
May Be Made Subject of Amend
ments to Army Appro-
priation Bill.

Washington, Feb. 8-Reports to
the effect that the republican leaders
of the senate have formulated definite
plans for legislation during the present
session of congress on the Cuban and
Philippine Questions are premature,
but the leaders are engaged in an earn
est effort to find a solution of the
difficulties which beset them.
The Cuban problem offers far
greater intricacies than the Philip
pines and is looked upon as liable to
call for much prompter legislation.
There is a general disposition to ac-
-cept the Spooner bill as a sufficient
pronouncement on the Philippine
question and it is now the plan to
have Senator Lodge, chairman of the
Philippine committee. propose this
bill with possibly some notifications
as an amendment to the army appro-
priation bill.
Senator Platt of Connecticut, chair
man of the committee Oh relations
with Cuba, also is contemplating the
rropriety and e%xpediency of present
ing an amendment to the army bill
covering the Cuban situation and he
with other lawyers of the senate are
giving much attention to the subject.
They frankly admit the difficulties of
the case, but generally are agreed that
the situation demands action.
The Importance of the question as
we'll as it's delicacy is emphasized by
the failure Of the Cuban constitutional
convention to take any steps toward
defining the relation of Cuba to the
United States. Evidently there is dis
appointment over this failure and i'll
some quarters it is construed az al
evidence of hostility ID the part of the
Cuban leaders toward the government
of the United States. The Cuban con-
vention is still in session and it might
yet act upon this point. but the gene.
raj opinion is that it will not do SO.
Hope Of securing congressional &C.
ton upon the Cuban constitution at
the present session of congre SIS has
been quite definitely abandoned anC
the most that is hoped for is to secure
a declaration of the attitude of this
country toward Cuba, which would bt
a guide to the president during the
congressional interim. The present
plan is to try to c the incorpora
tion of such a declaration in the army
appropriation bill as the surest way Of
getting it through. There is, how
ever, much difficulty in agreeing ever
upon this declaration and the diff
Guilty extends. both to the form of thu
expression and the matter to be EN-
braced in it. The ground to be ira
versed is all new and both senators
and other administration advisers arr
anxious that if anything is done at al
it should be done in a way not to ere
ate difficulties for the future.
The probabilities are, however, tina
the declaration will take shape in tn
next few days.
Persons in a position to be Informed
as to the presidents purposes believ'
that an extra session will be inevitable
without congress shall take some &C
ton with respect to Cuba and it's rela
tions to this country. With that mat
ter disposed of there is good reason tt
believe that an extra session will ~
