members OF his cabinet, the presidents
of the Senate and Chamber OF Deputies
and the members of his military house
hold. welcomed NJ. Fallieres and in 4
few earnest words committed the exesu-
tive functions to the new presidsn'.
The reply of NJ. Fallieres was without
formaliiy. 1t was simple acceptance
of The new responsibilities and an assur-
ance of his best efforts in carrying them
out. There were no spectacular fea-
lures like those seen at an Inauguration
of the Presid ent OF the United States.

Trouble Feared.

Advices from Budapeslh say that today
bids fair to be an important day in the
conflict which the Hungarian people,
represented by the Parliamentary cOali-
ton, is waging against the throne for
the recognition ofconstitutions liberty as
against the royal prerogative.
Parliament will be dissolved by the
Grown, b. force Of arms, il necessary.
The coalition has no programme of action.
1t is provided for all contingencies. The
last meeting held by the party showed
that its spirit was clearly for resistance.
1t was declared then that the Crowns
alleged unconstitutional act should be re-
sisted. Both sides declare that they are
in the right and are confident of success.
1t was reiterated last night that the
government had brought a regiment of
Roumanian troops to Budapesth.
If the day passes without serious
clashes the dissolution OF Parliament
will still be important for Hungary. for
the Crown will have to call new elections,
ia which the coalition is fully confident
of maintaining its msjorlties, or, failing
10 call the electiona.- il will mean the
breaking of the constitution by the King
aud will nectssitate the introduction Of
absolnlist measures of government.

undertaking in which they had been en-.
engaged, and whose appointments were
wholly due 20 political influence without
regard to their ability to fill the Pos'-
tons to which they had been assigned.
The consular service in general he
declared to be ridieuled by foreigners all
over the world, and a reproach to Amer

There are some excellent men in the
service, he said, but they, are handi-
capped by system that if applied to a

The iallacy of trying to shift indivId-
ual responsibility upon the federal gov
eminent and the narrow limitations OF
the national constitution when it be-
comes question of enforcing laws
which should be enforced by the States,
were main topics discussed by Mr. Can
non, Speaker of the National House OF
Representatives, in an address before
the members Of the Union League IN
the assembly room iu Philadelphia Satur-
day night. Besides these points, Mr.
Cannon referred TO the "glories OF the
republican PARTY" and declared, without
an evidence OF sarcasm or even OF
humor, "that Philadelphia hes been no
big represented in the House for gen.
Grafton" 1t goes without saying that
even the Philadeiphians had to stuff
handke.chiels in their mouths to keep

Killed by Explosion.

A terrific explosion occurred early
Yesterday in the Buttonwood mine, oper-
ated by the Parish Coal Company, about
two miles from Wilkesbarre, Pa, which
caused the death Of four men. The ex-
plosion occurred in small structure
known as a timber mans shanty, located
along the gangway, a short distance from
the foot OF the shaft. In this shanty
was stored LOT of giant powder and
this exploded. A number of company
hands were al work Saturday night in
the mine, and it is thought they went TO
the shsnty to get warm and eat their
lunch. The supposition is that the heat
from the steam pipes ignited the powder
AMI exploded it. The four men were in the
center OF the conclusion. Three of them
met instant death, and their bodies were
multilated and dismembered in CHASTITY
manner. The fourth man died few
hours later at the hospital. His head
WAS crushed and several ribs were
broken.
