on Franchise Bill.

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 29.-The Hunga-
rian Independence party, Of which Count
Michael karolyi IS the head, has decided
to adopt an attitude of opposition toward

ments franchise bill, Budapest despatch
reports.
In political circles in Budapest this de
cision is believed TO have been due to a
difference of opinion between Count IA

rious foreign and domestic questions The
premier asked Count Theodor Ratthyany
a member OF the Independence party
who was minister of public welfare ii
the cabinet which has just retired, to re
tain his portfolio on condition that he
should leave his party. This is believed
to have been one of the principal cause.
