Vienna, December 4-(Special. )-Hun gary has fallen into line for the big navy and the fear that the Hungarion delegaI ton would refuse to affirm the navy estil mate proved groundless The dominant idee among the Hungarians was voiced by Captain Lucich, speaking on behalI of the commander-in-chief of the navy who stated that the naval administration regarded the chief task of the navy to bt exclusively the protection of the coasts and of maritime trade.
 We need" he continued. "a navy which in size and strength can compets witls the fleets of powers which may en- ter into combination for any essentia war. The fleet must be in position tt determine itself the moment of any bat tie, and it's attack must be surprise tc the enemy. A fleet which is based solely on defense and would have to retire be fore the enemy has no value. The ob ject of the fleet is to still certain aspira. tions in the cradle and to guarantee the ma'ntainance of peace. The naval ad. ministraton does not consider it oppor- tune, nor is it at present in q position ta give detailed explanations of it's future plans"

A story that reads like transcribr iron. Edgar Allan Poe is told by tht 'Hetfoot Hrlap,' a Budapest organ.
 Returning to his home, Castle Rosen-l berg, day or two ago, Count Seefried walked into his library and when he switched on the electric light was hol- rified to discover the head of a girl on the table. The count noticed that the Ii j brary window was open Along che floor from the window to the table was a trail of blood.
 None of the servants could give any explanation of the matter. and the police were put into possession Of the facts They failed to find any clue until a man came forward who said that he had seen dog trying to drag a headess body of a girl. After this the police made a sys- tematic search of the railway line which skirts the grounds of the counts estate. and there they found the body of ths girl, who had evidently thrown herself before a train, thus ending her life.
 It is pretty clearly established that a huge dog, which the count owns, had found the body and head of the girl on the line, and dragged the head into his masters house across the park and through the window.
