HUNGARIAN Liberals
GET BIG CONCESSIONS
National Sentiment Has Practically
Won Everything-Language in
Army Forbidden.

BUDAPEST, Oct. 31.-After a confer
ence between members of the liberal
party which lasted three days and
which was attended with much heated
discussion. it was resolved to accept
the amendments to the program of the
military party suggested by Emperor
Francis Joseph and approved by Count
Stephen Tisza, the new Hungarian
premier.
The program thus amended grants
almost all the national concessions de-
manded. including the transfer Of all
Hungarian officers to Hungarian regi-
ments and the use of the national
tongue in Hungarian military colleges,
but it does not concede the use of Hun
garlan in words Of command in the
army.
The acceptance Of this compromise By
the liberals has avefted a dangerous
crisis. and has caused rejoicing through
out the country. 1t is also regarded as
victory for Count Tisza. and the
cabinet formed by him will not receive
the Emepror's approval.
Count Apponyi. who is also leader of
the national section of the liberal party.
declared he could not recognize the
right of the crown to fix the language
of command p the Hungarian army.
and he reserved liberty of action If this
question were ever raised IN parliament.
He consented. however, to remain a
member Of the liberal party in order to
facilitate a solution of the crisis. His
resignation as president of the lower
house is held, however. 70 indicate that
the unity OF the party Will not last long,
and It is believed that this complete Sc
cession would have strengthened the

SURPRISING BUCKET SHOPS.
Business Man Says the Campaign F Injured City.


 Chicago. Dec 15.-Has the Chicago board of trade made a total failure in Its efforts to suppress bucket shops9 w. $. Crosby, member of the bus1- ness interests of the city during thirty years. says it has. He says further that the fight against bucket shops was i'll advised from the start, that It has driven away business, and that the pretense the campaign has been con ducted for moral motives is sham.
 MT Crosby has written a pamphlet giving his views on the bucket shop question, on trading in puts and calls, and on corners. which are diametrical- ly opposed to the present official Toli- cies of the board, although they repre- sent the views of many of the mem bers.
 As to the assertion that the fight against bucket shops is not commercial but purely moral MT Crosby asks why the board of trade should enforce the state law against bucket shopping any more than the state laws against other forms of gambling. or the factory laws or dozen others.
 Referring to corners, ' v which prac- tically are sanctioned by hoard of trade rules. althoreh ilfeGal according to a statI1te Of this state. Mir Crosby refers to the growinc dispos'tiou to deei5e disputes between members arising from "cornprs'' according to principals Of eaI1ity rather than to permit the board of trade itself to be the final arbiter.

ROOT DEFENDS WOOD.
Secretary Addresses Chairman of Mili-
 tary Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. Elihu Root, secretary of war, has addressed the following letter to Senator Proctor, acting chairman of the committee on military affairs:
 'sI inelose a letter from Brigadier General Tasker H. Bliss asking atten- tion to the report of his recent testi- mony before your committee as a wit ness regarding certain objections to the confirmation of General Wood. 1t ap- pears that the press report of General Bliss testimony is the precise con trary of what he in fact testified. He wishes this set right for his own repu- tation, and I shall take the liberty of doing so as far as practicable by glv- ing his letter to the press.
 At the same time I wish to call the attention of your committee to the fact that some person seems to be per sistently furnishing to the press false statements of the testimony taken be- fore you, the perversion of the evidence being in every case to the prejudice of General Wood. It cannot be doubted that the newspapers publishing these reports believe them to be true and that the reports are sent to them by the representatives of the press in good faith under the same belief.
 'It is evident that some person is un- dertaking to convey to the press rep resentatives information of what goes on in the committee and is taking ad- vantage of the fact that the evidence is not published to state it falsely for the purpose of injuring General Wood in the public estimation, so that, while your committee will act upon the evi- dence actually before it, the public judgement as to how you ought to act will be based upon an entirely different and erroneous idea of what the evil dence is
 ''If the evidence actually given called for General Woods presence I should of course bring him back from the Philippines, but do not feel justified in withdrawing him from the impor- tant duties which he is performing on account of false reports of evidence which has never in fact been given. It hardly seems fair that an officer who is not here to protect himself, but is serving his country faithfully under orders on the other side of the world, should have his reputation stabbed in this way. I earnestly request your committee's attention to this subject"
