much from a frontal attack. They are
obliged, however to maintain

years sentence lat hard labor" has
not even been begun.
1t has been approximately a year
since Hunter was convicted a second
time and had his sentence reduced
from life Imprisonment to twenty-five
years. He was not satisfied with that,
however, and declared he would never

DO NOT WANT ARBITRATION
Lower House of Hungarian Diet De-
clines to Act on SUGGESTION.

Budapest, Hungary, Nov. 4.-Tne
lower house of the Hungarian diet
has declined to approve LIE resolu-
ton of Francis Kossuth, president Of
the Independent party, calling on the
premier to urge the Austro- Hungarian
foreign minister to support any diplo-
matte action on the part of the United
States tending to put an end to the
bloodshed IN the far east. Supporting
his motion, Kossuth today declared
that Russia, despite her defeats, had
brilliantly maintained the reputation
for gaaantry Of her army, SO that she
can accept Intervention without feel
ing that her honor Is affected.
Premier TisZa, however, while de-
claring that he fully appreciated Kos
suth's noble intentions, pointed out
that action by the neutral power could
only be effective if the belligerants
desired it.
At the premier's request the motiop
was rejected.

Four points of the Russian case, as
presented simultaneously by specia
dispatches from PARIS to two papers
here. which bear evidences that they
came from inspired, sources, are as
follows
First-Information which reached
Vive Admiral Rojestvensky as he was
leaving Danish waters showed thai
suspicious vessels were in the NORTH
sea, navigating first under one flag
and then under another
Second-The transport KamptchatU
ka's report by wireless telegraph
some time before the incident occur
red, that she had seeen two torpedo
boats, (the Kamptchatka being ther
thirty miles behind the squadron.)
Third-Later the receipt of a sus
picious wireless message signed
"Kamptchatka" asking for the exac
latitude and longitude of the squad
ron. q message which it was after
wards ascertained was never sent By
the Kamptchatka.
Fourth-Then the appearance o
two torpedo boats alongside thu
squadron, which could not have beef
Russian. as all the Russian TORPEDO
boats were then in the English chan
mel. The squadron did not fire unit
the torpedo boats were seen.
