CHASE UsURPs AUTHORITY.
Setting Military Over Civil---He Refuses to
Give Up Prisoners.
(By the Associated Press.l

Cripple Creek, Colo, Sept. 24.-Judge
William P Seeds, of the District court,
today decided against the military au-
thorities in the habeas corpus case of
Sherman Parker and three others, who
have been held prisoners by the military
for about two weeks without warrants,
and with no formal charges against them.
General John Chase, in command of the
troops, declined to recognize the authority
of the court until ordered by the governor
to do so. Tonight it is learned that Gov
ernor Peabody has instructed Adjutant
General Bell. who is in Cripple Creek to
issue an order to General Chase to turn
over all prisoners to the civil authorities
hereafter.
Cripple Creek, Colo, Sept 24-In the
district court here today, Judge Seeds
overruled the motion to quash in the case
of the four military prisoners for whom
writs of habeas corpus were issued recent
ly, anG ordered the prisoners turned over
to the civil authorities. Judge Seeds said
that he could not subscribe to the doctrine
advanced by the respondent, that the mil
itary was supreme and not amenable to
the court, because to do so would mean
to overthrow the government and substi-
tute a monarchy.
The court said that the question in
volved was: Does the executive order
calling troops constitute justification of
the arrest? He held that civil law had
not been overthrow in Teller county and
no evidence had been presented that law
breakers would not be prosecuted and pun
ished by the civil authorities.
Judge Seeds also strongly rebuked the
presence of the troops in the court room.
Counsel for the prisoners were not pres
ent when the decision was rendered.
General Chase declined to obey the or,
der of the cocurt, but it is understood
here that Governor Peabody will instruct
him to turn the prisoners over to the civil
authorities.
The four prisoners were brought into
court this afternoon guarded by thirty-five
soldiers. who removed them to camp Gold

A STORM IN THE DIET.
New Barabbas Leads the Uproar---Hint Of
Hungarian Revolution.
(BY the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated RfeSs.)
Buda Pest, Hungary, Sept. 24.-The SEES
sion of the Diet today was marked by
stormy scenes which became so boisterous
as to necessitate its suspension. Barab-
bas, a member of the Kossulp party, went
so far as to say his party no longer be-
heved the statements of the Emperor
King, Francis Joseph. Charges made
against Premier Hedervery of completely
in the Szapary bribery scandal started
the disturbance and then Franz Kossup
handed in an address to the Emperor
King complaining against His Majesty's
recent army order and the Interpretation
given to the Constitution in yesterdays
rescript
When Count Hedervery rose to reply
the uproar was so great that he was I'M
able tc make his voice heard. The depu-
ties left their seats and crowded upon the
floor of the House and the sitting had to
be suspended
Hedervery was speaking when he was sud
denly interrupted by Barabbas, who
shouted: 1--WE don't believe the King!"
Thereupon all the deputies, irrespective
of party, rose with shouts of "Rogue"
"TraltOri' Out with him.!
Barabbas tried to apologize but his col
leagues refused to permit it and a vote
of censure upon him was recorded on the
minutes.
London, England, September "a
The Daily Mails correspondent at Ber
lin telegraphs the sensational statement
that there is possibility of a Kossulpist
revolution in Hungary He says that as
a result of the German Emperor's visit to
Vienna Germany has promised to assist
Austria with troops should Austria be
faced with the necessity of using armed
force in Macedonia and simultaneously
suppressing a revolution in Hungary.
That the latter is not impossible continues
the correspondent, may be gathered from
the fact that General Won Beck, chief of
the Austrian staff, submitted a plan of
mobilization to Emperor William last
week. The idea of placing Prince Eitel
Frederick the second son of the German
Emperor, on the Hungarian throne, re-
ceives no support in Germany.
