VIENNA, Sept 2o.-CoCnt Khuen-Heder-
vary, the Hungarian Prime Minister. who
fow days ago was reappointed to that
Office, has again resigned owing to his
own party voting against him because
he did not sufficiently. repudiate the at
lacks OF DR.. Won Fosfher. tho Austrian
Prime Minister, upon Hungarian national
aspirations
DR. Won Koerber's declaration was To the
effect that Austria would maintain her
influence in the military questions of the
dual monarchy and would never agree to
Hungary's demand concerning the use OF
Hun garian words OF command in the army.
There is great sxoitement'in Budapest,
where there is a tendency to take an alarnist
view Of the situation. 1t is, indeed. some-
what critical and the outlook is chaotic.
1t Ia feared that the Austrian advisers OF
the crown will regard the defeat OF the
Hungarian Prime Minister as a personal
airront to the Emperor, thus deepening the
cause OF the conflict.
The Car will arrive here tomorrow,
and as soon as his visit is ended the Emperor
will probably 60 again to Hungary, whence
he has just returned, to try to straighten
out the difficulty which threatens to de-
velop into grave troubles.

MINER VISITS THE PREMIER
MAKEUP OF BRITISH CABINET
STILL UNCERTAIN.
Announcement Expected Before Mr.. Bal-

Tariff QuestiOn--I-Ondon Newspaper
TO Test Public Feeling on tho Question.


Special Cable Despatch TO THE SUN.
LONDON, Sept. 29.-Beyond the fact that
Mr.. Balfour had q conference with Lord
Miner there is nothing important to record
in reference to the Cabinet crisis. Rumors
abound, but as the Government is keeping
its own secrets with complete success they
can all be dismissed as speculations.
It has been assumed that the new ap-
pointments will be announced before Mr.
Balfour makes his promised speech at
Sheffield, on Oct. l., but the Stand
ard, Ministerial organ, which, by
the way, Ii In nowise necessarily minis
terially inspired, declares that there Is
reason to believe that appointments are
not likely to be announced until next week
probably on Oct. S.
Meanwhile anticipation 10 fixed on the
Prime Minister'S forthcoming declaration
to the annual conference Of the National
Union OF Conservative and Constitutional
Associations.
Nearly two thousand elected delegates
and 13O Members Of Parliament viii attend
the conference, which ID likely to be the
most momentous in that organizations
history.
The choice Of Sheffield as a meeting
place is appropriate to the policy which
will be discussed, for that city is almost
wholly. proteotionist and has suffered
severely from the free import system.
Sir Charles Howard Vincent, M. p, ad-
dressing his constituents there last evening
illustrated this fact. He mentioned that
while In 1882 the exports Of cutlery and hard
ware from Sheffield amounted to 81, 500, 900
in 1902 they amounted to less than e.. o0O, 900
Moreover, the imports Of foreign cutlery
had doubled In FIVE years, reaching total
In 1907 Of nearly E1, 10000.
The discussion OF dozen fs cal resolu-
tions appears In the agenda. Tho con-
ference will begin on the afternoon Of Oct
I. Tho Prime Minister'S speech VIII be
delivered in the evening.
1t will intervene In the middle OF the
debate, which will be continued on Friday
when the Anal decision OF the conference
will be taken, after which Mr.. BaRour will
speak again.
Pending his utterances tho decision Of the
conference cannot be forecast, but the
general belief Is that q ma jority Of the dele
gates at least will favor the Prime Minister
The DAILY Mai announces that It ha.
arranged to take q referendum Of tho adult
males Of the United Kingdom on tho tariff
question, and that It will close on Dec 1

ALASKAN ARGUMENT CLOSING.
MR.. ROBINSON, THOUGH ILL.,,
FINISHES HIS SPEECH.
Hannis Taylor Now Arguing Our Case
From the Standpoint Of International
It~-Aefian Of Trading Companies
Bound the Nations Interested.

Special CfhIe Despatch 10 The sun.
LONDON, Sept. %. Christopher Robinson,
&c, OF counsel for Canada, who lost con-
soiousness during yesterdays session OF the
Alaskan Boundary Commission, had so far
recovered that he was able to continue his
argument when the sitting was resumed
to-day.
Mr. Robinson, in behalf Of the Canadian
claim, contended that Article VII. OF the
treaty of 1925 meant reciprocal privileges
In the ksilre (borter) and that this implied
tho Jurisdiction ofsGssae Britain over. cor
tain Inland wateas. and that south Of tho
parallel OF "a deg. - min, to- which tho
United States asserts that Article VII.
refers, Russia had no right to grant such
privileges.
He said that Russia wanted an absolutely
unbroken kSifrs, while the treaty shows
that she did not get It,. A treaty and not
tho negotiation Of one, he asserted, must
govern
On the question OF occupation he said that
from 1867 to 1880 the American occupation
was from the decks Of United States war
vessels, az the natives refused to allow the
Americans 10 land. He ridicIlod The later
assertion Of tho Americans. which was based
on ths allegiance Of the natives, saying,
with bottle Of whiskey and blanket
you can obtain the allegiance OF any Indian.
Mr.. Robinson denied absolutely the
statement that the United States had no
Official knowledge OF Great Britains claims
10 the heads of the inets until 1898. He
held that the United States had knowl-
edge Of these claims ten years before that.
Mr.. Robinson concluded his argument
this afternoon and was congratulated both
By the Americans and Canadians on his
pluck
After Mr. Robinson had closed Mr.. Hannis
Taylor OF counsel for the United States
took up the case from the standpoint OF
international law. He dealt with the status
Of the two trading companies In Hudson
Bay, the Russian and American concerns.
Great Britain, he said, has commended that
the actions Of these companies has not
bound the nations interested. Mr. Taylor
maintained that they were not private
companies, nut great political agencies
quasi sovereign In power and as such sub
iect to International law. These companies,
he asserted, negotiated as political agents
In making the lease OF Russian territory
In 1910 and also at the beginning OF the
Crimean war. The British and Russian
governments authorized the presidents OF
these two companies to deal with each other
a. plsnipotentiaries. Az such they made
q treaty Of territorial neutrality to preserve
from forfeiture the lease above mentioned
during tbs pro gress Of the Crirnean war;
Mr.. Taylor will conclude tomorrow.

SURPRISES 1851.
1908 Holds the Record for High
Water.

The evidence continues to grow in
support of those who claim that the
water in the recent flood rose higher
than it did in 1851. In the last issue
of the Keosauqua Republican which is
devoted largely to an account of the
conditions existing there during the
ed positively that the water this year
was four feet and seven inches higher
than it was in 1851. This is the
strongest claim in favor of the flood
of 1903 that has been advanced. The
writer's statement is as follows:
about l o'clock Thursday morning
June 2, 1908, just fifty-two years and
one day since the waters of the Des
Moines river reached the highest stage
known up to that time (1S51) at Keo-
sauqua, the waters of that river reach
ed the highest mark of the flood that
has carried destruction all along it's
course. In the 1851 flood at the hour
of the highest the water just passed
over the stills of the lower windows in
what Is known as the Joel Walker
brick residence in this place, the first
residence back from the power house.
Tuesday we were taken in skiff by
Harlan Smith to this building where
we took the depth of the water to the
window sill from the highest mark it
had reached a few hours previously
and we found it just four feet and seven
inches above the mark of 1851. We
are satisfied that the 1851 mark is cor
rect for we received our information
from such old settlers as Edwin Man
ming, Capt. J. II. Bonney and James
Kinnersey, all of whom have passed
to the other world, the last named be-
ing very explicit in details of that flood
at Keosauqua. Mr.. Kinnersley kept
store down towards the river from
the Walker residence not over seven
ty-five feet from it.
