INTERNAL
 MACHINE.
Found Under Stair.
 way at Budapest.
Coalition of Leaders Were Holding a Meeting in the Building-Count Czaky's Visitto the Hing Emperor.

Budapest, Hungary, Sept 29.-A tin box filled with powder of some kind was found this morning under the staircase of a hotel in which the coali- ton leaders were meeting. The box, which is alleged to be an internal ma chine, was taken to police headquar- ters for examination.
 The fact that Count Albin CZaky, president of the upper house of the Hungarian diet, has been summoned to an audience of the king-emperor next Saturday is not considered here as implying that the count will neces- sarily be invited to form cabinet. On the contrary there is disposition in many quarters to believe that Baron Fejervary may be re-appointed to the premiership. The latter Is now under stood to support the contention that Hungary has the right to establish in dependent customs in her territory. This has created a favorable impress sion.
 The nationalist students are demand ing the expulsion from the university of all students of socailistic tenden- cies.
 The leaders of the coalition major ity and the newspapers are doing their utmost to calm the political pas sions and prevent clashing of the factions during street demonstrations, warning the people that the reaction aries would thereby be given pretext for oppressive action.
 Count Apponyi, who is inclined to the view that a solution of the Hun garian crisis will be found, suggests that the former liberal premier, Kolo- man de Szell. should be nominated by the king-emperor to negotiate with the coalition.

AFTER sCHIFF.
Head of We'll Known Banking Firm
 Was Under Fire To-Day.

New York, Sept 29.-Jacob H. Schiff, head of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb x Co, bankers, of this city, and formerly director of the Equitable Life Assur- ance society, was the nrst witness called before the legislative life insur- ance investigation committee to-day.
 NIT Schiff said that he had become director of the Equitable society in the latter part of 1893 or the first part of 1894. His firm had had dealings with the society for quarter of century prior to that time.
 The question of the propriety of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co dealing with the Equitable society occurred to him and he took counsel upon the matter and was advised that there was noth- ing to prevent his firm from properly maintaining such relations. He was a director of the society four or five years before he became a member of any committee of it. Then he was made a member of the finance commit tee.
 Mir schif stated that the position of director in large corporations in New York, and he presemued elsewhere, was a negligible quantity. If any ex- ecutive officer wished to conceal any thing from the directors he could easily do so and the director, under prevailing conditions, is powerless to prevent any irregularity.
 Mr Schiff testified that the Equitable was in the hands of the executive ofii- cers, and he had no way of knowing more than these executive officers chose to tell him.
 He refused an election to the ex- ecutive committee because of the rela- tions of his firm to the society, belley- ing that it would be improper for him as member of the executive commit tee to pass upon any dealings his firm might have with the society.
 Up to a recent time slr Schiff was qualified as a director by shares trans ferred by Mir Hyde. MT Hyde drew the dividends on these shares. Mr Schiff received no beneficial results of these shares. They were re-transferred to the trustees under the Ryan pur- chase. Prior to last February Mir Schiff said he was not policy holder in the Equitable, and was not in any different position from many other di- rectors, and held his position at the request of Mir Hyde.
 He was asked to become member of the finance committee so that he could give his judgment on the securi- ties the society purchased. The ques- ton of propriety did not occur to him on this point because the finance com mittee does not decide the actual pur- chase, but merely advises the sale or purchase of securities. The value oi his advice in this regard. witness said, was the same as a judge of a high court, because of his experience Hi. position was not one of much impor. tance because he could not insist that his judgment be followed. He could not say 1t was a surprise 10 him to find that his position as a member of the finance committee was perfume. tory.

KEEPING DARK.
Thief Who Stole $500. 900 Worth of Bonds
 Yesterday.

New York, Sept 29.-So far as could be ascertained today no attempt has yet been made by the thief who got possession of S36O,0O0 worth of securi- ties by presenting a forged check for them at the National City bank yester- day. to dispose of them. Detectives GEd the financial men interested in the loss are making every effort to prevent tne negotiation or sale of the securi- ties and to find the young man who presented to the bank a forged check tearing what purp0rted to be the sig nature of Pearl & Co, the real owners of the securities.
 An official of the National City bank who to-day described the transaction involving the surrender of the securi- ties by the bank, said that they did nol differ from many bona fide trans actions common in the financial dis trict
 It was stated that the young man for whom the detective are searching was probably only an office boy and may have been acting in behalf of some more experienced operator. The forged check was executed in very am8teurish fashion and wonder is ex- pressed by those who have seen it that it was accepted.
 liuch significance is attached to tile fact that the certified check exchanged for the valuables was made out with one days interest at AZ per cent in stead of Az. Pearl & Co, the owners of the securities, which they had de posited as collateral on the previous day, thought the rate was A, although the bank authorities put it down at 4h on their books, and this fact tends to show, according to the detectives that the forger must have been in close touch with the loan department of the National City.

RICH DRAMA PRODUCTION
Miss Comsteck and company iii The
Crisls," One OF the Best Ever
Given Here.

The production OF The Crisis by
Nanuette Comstock and her capable
company at the opera house Monday
evening was ar event in dramatic
circles which has not been exceeded
in many years. and we can recall of
but one event that may have SUR
passed it-when Clara Thropp APP
peared in "A Dolls House. The
Crisis is dramatized from the
book of that name and it is presented
in lntelligible shape. In the role OF
Virginia Carvel, Miss Comstock was
the southern giil p%ersonilied in the
days of the wan. Her pretty wo-
manly graces were charming and
there was a beauty and dignity in
her acting that won for her a warm
place in the hearts OF the people.
lle- costumes were of the war period
and they were highly becoming.
Crosby Leonard as stephen Brice
shared the honors of the evening
With Miss ComstocI. who was given
Il curtain call twice, which She
shared with MI. leonard. In bis
character of Stephen Brice Mr..
Leonard made a deep impression with
his manner of presenting it. He
was dignitied, manly and courteous,
keeping i'm close touch with the
thought of the author, and many
times he was applauded. Judge Whip
pie was done with good taste by Al
bert Perry. and in several scenes bis
work was strong. Melvine Hunt as
Clarence ColfaX, and Fred Maynard
as Colonel Carvel, the two southern
gentlemen. were both excellent in
their parts. The support of the COM
pany throughout was all that could
be desired. and the people showed a
most hearty appreciation.
The scenery and the costumes were
in strict accord with the time of the
play. The clothes of 1860 looked
rather peculiar today. although they
are not ST far remvoed in some par
: ticularS. The garden scene was a
charming one, and with IA little more
light on the stage it would have been
better.
Mitchell is proving Il most excellent
show town as shown by the large
audience on this occasion, u the
patronage that is given by outside
towns is also very good indeed, all
of which goes to make possible tn,
fulfillment of the opera house en-.
terprise spoken Of in these columns
a few days ago.
