 Budapest, Hungary, Sept. 27.-Be- tween forty andi fifty persons were in jured in riots here this evening, when socialists and adherents of the coalition parties, including students, clashed op- posite the Royal hotel, and for two hours there were scenes of tremendous excitement. The Royal hotel is the headquarters of the Independence club, in which Is the council room of the coa- lition leaders.
 The students and other supporters of the coalition had arranged for big torehlight procession tonight, but dur ing the day the socialists issued in- fiammatory proelamations calling on all socialists and others opposed to the coalition to gather and fight for their rights, which they said the coalition was trying to sidetrack under cover of an alleged affront by the king-emperor to the whole nation. Owing to these proclamations the coalition leaders de- cided to postpone the torchlight process sion, seeking thus to avoid bloodshed.
 At o'clock about 1,50O socialists gathered outside the Independence club and announced their intention of enter ing and tearing down the council room. A large force of police was presented and was assisted by 15O of the leading citizens.
 The mob made an effort to enter, but was vigorously opposed by the police. A fight enslied and amid the widest clamor~ a number of persons were stabbed, but the socialists were finally scattered. Fifteen minutes later, how eyer, the socialists again gathered. By this time adherents of the coalition in large numbers appeared upon the scene and their appearance resulted in free fight between the two factions. A dense mass of humanity surged in every direction, shouting and singing the Marseillaise and other songs. Knives, sticks and stones were used vigorously. 8 I.
 In the meanwhile a thunder storm came tip and vivid lightning lit up the square, while the thunder added note of terror. Rain fell in torrents and dampened the ardor of the combatants, who were finally dispersed by the po- lice. gt# ess ,",
 It is reported that over forty persons were wounded eight of them seriously. There were no deaths. E Scattered fights continued in different quarters and a section of the socialists marched to s building in which is pub lished "a newspaper that supports the coalition, where they broke the win dows and attempted to gain an en- trance. The mob was held back by the police, while the printers and editors threw furniture from the windows on the heads of the crowd. Here, too, a number of persons received wounds. Finally quiet was restored, and up to 10 o'clock there was no renewal of the disorders
 It is not thought that the rioting of tonight will have any effect on the general situation, which certainly has grown worse, while the feeling through out Hungary against the dynasty is in- creasing. Among well-inforned per- sons it is believed that better counsel will prevail after the first flush of pas- sion dies away
