CRISIS IN HUNGARY.
General Baron Ferjervary Tenders
His Resignation.

Vienna, Sept. 13.-General Baron
Fejervary, the Hungarian premier,
after long interviews with the king
emperor in the morning and the after
noon, rendered his resignation. 1t is
understood that the resignation will
be accepted and that his majesty will
in the next few days receive Francis
Kossuth and other members of the
United Opposition in the Hungarian
parliament with the view of endeavor-
ing to arrange compromise.
Complete uncertainty, however, pre-
walls regarding the outcome of the
crisis. 1t is understood that the rea-
son the premier resigned was because
the king-emperor refused to consent
to the carrying out of his scheme for
the granting of universal suffrage to
the Hungarians, which he advanced
as one of the means of bringing about
the defeat of the United Opposition.
Parliament will meet Sept. Is, when
Premier Fejervary is expected to pre-
sent decree of propagation and at
the same time accept the resignation
OF his cabinet

Officials Are Getting Ready For
Trouble in Chicago.
They Prepare For But Do Not
Expect a Strike.
Both Sides Trying to Avoid
the Trouble.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-Demands of tn;
members of the Freight Handlers
union of Chicago for an increase o!
10 per cent in wages or an arbitration
of their demands and the demand fol
a conference have been refused. The
general managers of the twenty-five
railroads centering in Chicago notified
President p. ]. Flannery of the unior
that negotiations were ended. The
news of the refusal of the genera
managers to grant the increase in
wages or arbitrate the dispute and the
defamation to hold a conference was
received angrily by the men. They
Immediately arranged to call a
series of mass meetings to consider
the action of the roads.
At the meeting of the railroad Off
Gals there was little discussion as to
what the action of the railroads
should be. The meeting lasted only
a few moments and before adjourn
ment the officials OF the railroads haC
pledged themselves not to deal indi
vidually with any committee of the
freight handlers. 1t developed after
the meeting that the general freight
agents and general managers had
communicated with the freight hand
lers as individual employees and in
formed each of them that the rail
roads were paying the highest wages
II To Iotu hot n
ing feeling of confidence said to
have resulted after individual inter
views with employees that there will
be no strike, the railroad companies
are going ahead with preparations for
one. The preparations are precau
freight houses and hundreds of men
have been tentatively hired to take
the place of the union men should
they vote to strike.
Chief of Police Collins has been
communicated with and he will fur
nish the freight houses with police
protection.
One of the general managers at the
meeting said:
While it looks like trouble, we are
confident that the men do not want
to strike
Despite the prompt refusal of the
various railroads to grant the de-
mands of the freight handlers for an
increase of wages, an outward calm
pervades the situation and If strike
does come it will be only after every
effort has been exhausted by both
sides to avoid it. The union officials
announce that whatever is done will
be along conservative lines.
The executive board of the freight
handlers will meet and seek to ar.
range conference with the railroads,
individually or collectively.

RESULT OF SHOOTING AFFAIR
Two Men Dead and a Woman Serious
ly Wounded.

Washington, Sept. 1.-TWO men
dead and woman seriously wounded
is the result of a shooting affair at
night in southeast Washington The
dead are George T. Morgan and
Charles Souder, and Lillian ] Souder,
wife of the latter, is wounded. Souder
and his wife were not living together,
and the woman was living at the place
where Morgan boarded. Souder met
his wife as she was coming from her
work and accompanied her home.
Loud talk was heard by the neighbors,
followed by the shooting and when the
first persons arrived the men were
dead and the woman wounded She
was removed to Providence hospital,
but was too weak to make a state
ment. The police theory is that Sou
der shot and killed Morgan, shot his
wife and then committed suicide.

As Yet the Actual Death List
Cannot be Ascertained.
Famous Admiral Not on Board
Vessel at the Time.
Profound Disappointment and
Sorrow Prevail.

Sasebo, Sept. 13.-Admiral Togo's
flagship: the Mikasa, was destroyed by
FIRE and the explosion of her maya,
zine at an early hour last Monday
morning while peacefully lying at an
Choir in this harbor. Hundreds OF
lives, including members of her crew
and men from other ships who went
to the rescue, were lost. This little
town, which has suddenly risen to a
prominent eminence since the out
break of the recent war, had spent a
quiet Sunday. The presence in the
harbor of several warships that had
taken part in the humiliation of the
formidable navy of a rival power af.
forded some excitement, but the night
was quiet with the people dreaming
OF peace after period of war. The
quietness was broken by terrible eX-
plosion, accompanied by terrific
shock. The people awoke on the
coast to discover that terrible dis
aster had overtaken the beloved Mi
kasa, the flagship of the great Togo,
who led his men to victory in the life
and death struggle in which the ma.
ton had just been engaged Words
are powerless to describe the pro-
found disappointment and sorrow at
tending this great catastrophe. The
absence of Admiral Togo from the
ship at the time of the explosion and
the hope that the vessel can be re-
paired are the only redeeming fea
lures of the unprecedented calamity.
A deep feeling of sympathy toward
the unfortunate sufferers after a ces
sation of hostilities permeates every
class.
The Mikasa was first class battle
ship of 1920 tons displacement. She
was built in England and was launched
in 1902. The battleship was 400 feet
long, had speed of over Is knots
and carried crew of 935 officers and
men. She was heavily armored and
carried four Pinch guns, fourteen g.
inch guns, two 12-pounders and a num-
Der of smaller rapidfire guns. She
had four submerged torpedo tubes.
