TO THE HUNGARIAN FLAG
Premier Tisza Says Austrian Army
Commanders Are Warm
in Their Praise.

BUDAPEST. February IA. via Lon
don, February 15.-Count Michael ha-
rolyi, president of the Hungarian 1nde-
pendent party, today in the Diet inter
pellated the government concerning a
major having ordered company OF
Hungarians to remove the Hungarian
flag during a march.
Count TisZa, the Hungarian premier
in answering the Interpolation, SAID
the incident was explainable on other
grounds than had been desert bed
There could be no talk Of an Insult to
the Hungarian flag. as the 'Austro-
Hungarian war minister had by express
order permitted the use of the flag by
the army, with. however. the single
proviso that it must not be larger than
the regimental flag.
The premier rcbuked Count Karolyi
for his insnuation that the higher mil
iitary authorities were prejudiced
against the Hungarian flag, and read a
letter from Field Marshal Archduke
Frederick. COMMANDMENT chief of the
Austrian army, praising the sacrifcial
spirit and bravery of the Hungarian
| troops. Count TisZa also said that he
had lately had an opportunity to learn
that Emperor Francis Joseph was filled
with joy over the heroic deeds of the
Hungarian nation. but was grieved
when he learned that certain misunder-
standings had arisen.

ICE HALTS RIVER CRAFT.

thin ice was encountered as far down
the river as Lower Cedar point, and
from Glymont up it was two or more
inches in thickness. This does not in
tcrferc with the movement of the
steamers. hut is sufficiently thick to
give trouble to light powered craft.
All the crceks tributary to the Po-
tomac are covered with ice from two to
four inches in thickness and the vessels
that were in them making ready to re-
turn to service will have to lie where
they are until thaw comes.
The tidal basin has thin sheet of
ice on it, and with two or three nights
as cold as last night there will be
skating on the basin. This morning it
was thin enough to punch stick
through it and what looked to he spots
or very thin ice or open water could be
seen toward the center of the basin.
me rlvermen are consoIing themselves
with the thought that even should a
freeze come the season is so well adj
vanced that the ice will be of short
duration. Along Occoquan creek and
other river tributaries the residents
are preparing to cut the ice for summer
use.
