Transports at Woosana.

A dispatch from Shanghai says that
Japanese warships arrived in the offing
at Woosung Saturday and attacked the
Russian ships, but a later dispatch says
that the Russian transports are to stay
in the vicinity of Shanghai while the
vessels Of the volunteer fleet are to leave
for either German or French territory. 1t
is reported that Rojestvensky squad

islands off the east cost of China. in the
province of Che.tiang) as naval base,
and it is also stated that the Chinese au-
thorities ordered the vessels to leave Woo

rumor that the Japanese will attack the
Russians at Woosung, which rumor lacks
confirmation from any other quarter.

Much Mischief Is Done in Colorado by

POPULAR RIGHTS
TO Be MAINTAINED
STRUGGLE IN HUNGARY AGAINST
UNDUE PREVALENCE OF ROYAL
PRERoGATIvE AND UNFOLDING
OF THE CONSTITUTION.

Vienna, May 2s.-The struggle in Hun
gary today can fairly be called in its
broader outlines an energetic affirmation
of popular rights against the undue pre-
valence of the royal prerogative. In the
developments which will probably follow
the appointment of cabinet under the
premiership of Baron Fejervary, the
Hungarians forsee serious Infringement
of their rights guaranteed by the con-
stitution which the king is sworn to
respect and which dates back thou
sand years, consecrated by the blood Of
countless thousands of Hungarians.a
The country is thoroughly aroused with
view to protecting it's most sacred in
stitution against any assault.
The Fejervary ministry would be color
less and neutral, and composed of men,
bers of the minority would be unconsti-
tutional unlawful and unparliamentary
and be sharply attacked by the COM
bined majority. 1t would be Immediate
ly discredited and the house of deputies
would then have to be adjourned. Such
an adjournment in the present condi-
ton of the country it is pointed out
would be unconstitutional
The Hungarans are in no spirit to ac-
cept such procedure. Among the meas
ures which the Hungarians declare they
will employ in defense of their constitu-
tional rights are the refusal to pay taxes
which cannot be legally collected before
the house of deputies passes the budget
by the refusal to grant recruits and the
refusal of Hungary of its prorata contri-
button to the common expenses of the
dual monarchy. In short, Hungary will
oppose the demands of the state in every
possible way.
Throughout the entire country it Is be-
coming increasingly evident that the par
liamentary majority will not allow itself
to be pushed aside, and the Hungarian
counties are beginning to petition the
house to preserve the integrity of the
constitution with all the means at it's
command. 4-a
The Hungarians are now threatening
every man who may accept portfolio in
the Fejervary ministry with social os-
tracism.
The proposal of Francis T<ossuth. leader
of the usited opposition for the elabor-
alton of an independent tariff for Hum
gary, will be debated Monday.

JUDGE RANDOLPH
IS LAID TO REST
One of Most Remarkable Ca
reerS in the South
HIS FRIENDS WERE LEGION
Even the Man Who Was Forced to
Take His Life Had Been His
Lifelong Friend and
Companion.

Montgomery. May 2S.-(Special )-The
last rites and the last honors were paid
to the life and body of the late Judge
Francis c. Randolph today, when he was
laid to rest in the lakewood cemetery by
the men who had known him for many
years. He was buried from the residence
of his sister, Mrs. w. L. Stewart, the
Rev. Stewart Mcqueen officiating The
pallbearers were IL. II. Matthews, George
Halls, 3. f. Burch Ira Virgin, Samuel
Wescott c. L. Matthews w d. Wescott
and J. T. Robinson. The funeral exercises
were attended by large concourse of
friends and men who have admired the
Judge through all the vicissities of his
career.
Judge Francis c. Randolph had a re-
markable career and, no matter what
may be said of some of his acts, had
many. very many, manly characteristics
and qualities. He could not brook the
dominion of the oppressor just after the
war and at the peril of his own life on
many occasions made the carpet baggers
unloose their hands from the throats of
the people. He stood up and openly defied
them and dared them to do rnings that
they would have done but for his BRAY.
cry. He was "A man who knew no fear,
good friend and bitter and unrelenting
enemy. He went wrong, but not from any
desire to take that which did not belong
to him; 1t rather being result of care
less methods that came of the indulgence
of his convivial and cordial nature. He
need never have left the United States
when he found himself short with the
county, his friends say to this day, for
they would have helped him to replace
all that was then due.

Crew Promptly obeyed.

The engine crew promptly obeyed the
summons and were then ordered to de-
scend and cut loose the express car This
was done and the bandit ordered them to
pull out, he remaining on the engine and
keeping the engineer and fireman COW
cred with his revolvers. When mile post
81, two miles east of Bearmouth was
reached the engine was halted and there
the man marched the engineer to the ex-
press car, where he was ordered to sum-
mon the messenger to come out The mes
senger, taken unawares opened the door
at the engineers summons, and seeing
that a hod-up was in progress, quickly
closed it and refused to allow the engineer
or bandit to enter
The robber, however, had a plentiful
supply of dynamite and threatened that If
the messenger did not leave the car he
would blow the car up with the mes
senger inside of 1t. Under this demand the
messenger came forth, and after being
relieved of his revolver he was lined up
with the engineer and fireman. The rob-
Der then attached a stick of dynamite
to the safe in the car and blew off the
door, badly shattering the side of the car.
When the SNAKE of the explosion had
cleared away, the engineer was ordered
to enter the car ahead of the robber and
the messenger was ordered to follow. AS
the bandit climbed into the car, he or
dered Wilson to strike a match, that
they might take view of the damage
done by the explosion. As the flame
flickered the bandit swept his eye over
the wrecked car and saw the wealth of
the safe scattered about in great confu-
sion. But Engineer Wilson saw more.

He saw that Messenger Laub who was

The express car was not so badly

train, and after the scattered contents

Grew Morose.

After his acquittal, however the judge
seemed to grow morose His wife UNI
dertook to secure divorce, pleading the
fact that he had been convicted of felony
in Central America. At the same time he
filed a cross bill. Both were denied by
the court. He spent less and less time
with his friends, until he became es-
tranged from his cousin John Randolph,
who had done more for him than any
other man in the world, and grew SO bit
ter towards him that he finally told
him that II he did not place certain
amount of money to his credit he would
kill him. The money was not placed.
The Judge started into the office OF his
kinsman, which kinsman occupied. The
latter saw him coming and as soon as
he darkened the door the gun which he
had picked up spoke out twice. One
shot went home in the neck, the other
in the left breast. Death was in mo-
ment, and Judge Randolph had gone TO
the beyond, closing one of the most re-
marbable tragic existencies in the history
of the south.
