TURIN, March 20.—Lajos Kossuth died at 10:565 o'clock this evening. Kossuth’s end was extremely painful. He showed signs of consclousness until the last. Ho expired in the arms of his son and died pressing the hand of the Hungarian deputy, Karolyl. The members of his family and a fow of his intimate friends stood around the bedside of the expiring riot Nothing has yet been settled in regard to the details of the funeral. The munici- pal authorities of this city have offered the family the privilege of having the remains buried in the Pantheon here, When Kossuth visited the United States many years ago the leader of the Magy was given more honor than any fore visitors to these shores with the exception of the great Lafayette, Kossuth was not really a was more of a Croal. ~He 1802 at Monol OF this famil for patriotism Kossuth’s silion trian _power an to manifest ftself when he was thirty years old.

He but little influence in that body of aristo- crats, but he at once began a report of its proceedings in a manuscript journal, whose printing was prohibited by an ancient law. The government estopped him from lith graphing his journal. But he was not to be cast aside by this. He undertook to he journal, and as there was no law p him from ecircy in manu- script form he employ 1ers, who copied the original, and there were as v as 10,000 coples of it in circulation After this he was especially active in many w that were not relished by the pow He defended political prisoners fiercely and in 1897 he was arrested. The result of the prosecution againse him was a term of imprisonment for threc vears. His friends were forbidden him and he was de- nied the privilege of writing. In the ond year of imprisonment the rigors of his life were relaxed and he was permitted to read—polttical books excepted. His se tion was singular. He chose for his enter- tainment an English grammar, Walker's pronouncing dictionary and a copy of Shakespeare's pla He knew not a word of English and his first self-taught lesson was “The Tempest.” Tt took him a week to get through the first page. Tn 1840, under a general amnesty, he was liberated. He became associated with a daily paper that had been started at Pesth called the Pesih Gazette, Seven years after his liberation he went to the Dief, representing the county of Pesth. He championed the common people as agninst the Hungarian nobility. ~ And then, throwing away all se- serve, he became the actual leader of the people of Hungary against the tyranny of Austria. In 1818, so keen had become the indignities suffered by Hungarians at the hands of Austria, that the time for open revolution was neal Hungary declared its_independence and Kussoth was made governor or presiflent of the country. Of course this meant war. And the war was just as desperate as the wrongs the revolutionists had suffered had been decp. Russia lent her aid to Austria, and Hungary was ground up between these two pow ful stones. Kossuth fled to Turkey for pro- tection. “Turkey might have han the patriot’ over to be put to death the spirit of liberty, a_spirit that sympathized with him to ihe last extremity, was too strong in the great and free counti England and America to permit anyPsuch shameful proceeding,even though the weak- ness of the Turks should have allowed it. He was not molested. In this chapter of his history the United States dispatched its steam frigate Mis- sissippl to him and he was brousht to America as the guest of the nation. In 181, in the month of September, Kossuth and kis compatriots were recefved on board the warship with due honors. ‘At Smyrna, Spezzla and the other ports he was notably honored. In France he recelved honors that were second only to those that were given him on his arrival here and during his stay in the United States. He had telegraphed his request to go through Franee, but the prince president flatly refused. He was met at Marseilles by thousands of people who expressed their contempt for Louis Napoleon’s small-minded refusal by erowd- ing around the patriot, singing that great insurrectionary song that stirs even the blood of the stranger and waving American flags. He went by sea to England, made a grand tour of that country and: was hailed with delight by the people in every prov- ince and recefved with marked honor by municipalities everywhes 1 this country he was a most honored guest. States vied with one another and cities fought one another to do him the largest honors. In 1852 Kossuth returned to Hurope and spent many years in traveling gbout, lect- uring and working {n many ways for the Hungarian cause. He tried many ways of Stirring up war between Austria = and other countries that his own might take advantage of the situation. But his life was a fallure. He then deliberately settled t Turin in Italy to voluntarily spend his maining years In exile. His sister, Louise Kossuth Ruttkay, attended to the duties of the household. ~ Although besought to re- turn to Hungary and live in his native land, he always refused to do so. Poor, he ever rejected, in a kindly way, financial ald, He might have lived in luxury not only at the expense of his followers in Hungary but by the favor of rich Americans and Inglish, who often begged him to accept some emolument.

Mr. Voorhees thought that cuuld be done. Hawail cropped out again and Mr. George, in accordance with the notice he gave a few days ago, addressed the senate on the legal aspects of Hawalian affairs. At the conclusion of Mr. George's speech the senate passed a bill authorizing the sec- retary of war to lend condemned cannon and cannon balls to the association having in charge the monument erected on government and at Chicago to the confederate dead there burled. A bill for the rellef of the owners and crew of the Hawalian bark Arctic was taken from the calendar and passed. Without the transaction of any other business the senate went into executive ses- sion, and adjoured at 4:30. IN THE HO! After Several Amendments the Sundry Civil Bl is Passed. WASHINGTON, March 20.—The sundry vil appropriation bill was passed by the house today without division. The amend- ment to the proposition for the general land oftice amending the provision of the act of 1591 repealing the timber culture and pre-emption acts, which was adopted in the committee at the suggestion of Mr. Hol- man, and which was bitterly opposed by the western members, was defeated in the The clauses which sought to re counting by the disbursing offi- to the Treasury de- reports by the hoards to the secretary of war fell under Mr, Black’s point of order. The bill as passed s §217,000 more than it did as reported from the committes on appropriations. The four appropriation bills passed by the house (District of Columbia, pension, forti- tions and sundry clvil) carry a net re- tion of $24,314,938, as compared with the e bills for the current fiscal year, At the request of Mr. Catchings of Missis sippl and Mr. Bettzhoover of Pennsyl they were reileved from further service on the. Pacific railronds committe The house, after the call of committees for reports,” went into commitice of the whole, and 'the consideration of the sundry civil bill was resumed. The pending ques- tion was Mr. Black’s point of order against two clauses’in the paragraph relating to the s homes requiring the disburs- ing off of the homes to give bond and make # to the Treasury de- partment and requiring the board of man- ers to make annual reports to the secre- ary of war. SIMPSON'S CRITICISMS. impson of Kansas, speaking to question, detailed an of soldiers’ home partment and annu the the the Mr. general merits of thy corrupt state of fairs unearthed at Leavenworth Soldiers home. He was not convinced that the policy of placing the homes under the War department was u £ood one, but he argued that an investi- gation info the gencral affairs of the homes should be made. Mr. Black of Tllinois repiied to some of the remarks made vesterday:in connection to this matter. With regard to the criti- cism upon the fact that liquor was sold under the authorization of the board of managers of the homes, he defended the action’ of the board. Fifty years of ap- petite, he said, could not be’ broken, and the establishment of beer halls, which cor- respond to the canteen system of the regu- lar army, had been deemed both wise and humane, The chair then sustained the point of order, and the two paragraphs were stricken from the bill. This disposed of the last paragraph of the bill, but, by an rrangement agreed upon yestere members were permifted to submit ral remarks on various subjects. Hartman of Montana and Mr, Me- Cleary of Minnesota proceeded to criticise {he amendment to fhe appropriation for the zeneral land office, adopted at the instiga- tion of Mr. Holman, which amended the timber culture and pre-emption act of 181 Mr. Tawney of Minnesota and Mr. Joh son of North Dakota also criticised the Holman amendment to the timber culture repeal act of 1891 Mr. Holman made an. explanation in de- fense of his amendment, and, after some remarks by Mr. Powers of California, Mr. Perking and M Wilson of Washington, the committee arose and reported the bili and amendments to the house, A separate vote was demanded by Mr. Tawney upon the Holman amendment, and by Mr. Bowers upon the amendments ap- propriating $64,000 for the postoffice at Buf- falo and §90,000 for the postoffice at New York City. On a rising vote the Holman amendment was carried by a vote of 77 to 61, Mr. MeCleary demanded the nays. The decision of the rising vote was r versed and the amendment was lost by a vote of %4 to 12: Mr. Bowers withdrew his demand asking for a_separate vote on the Buffalo and New York amendments, and the bill was then, at 2:55 ock, placed on itk final passige and passed without divisior A clash then ocourred as to the order of procedure. Mr. Outhwaite of Ohio attempted to move to go into committee of the whole for the consideration of the militar academy appropriation bill, but Mr. Pat son of Tennessee, as a_question of privi- lege, called up the O'Neill-Joy ontested eleciion cas Mr. Waugh of Indiana raised the ques- tion of consideration against it. . Burrows of Michigan explained that Bartholdt, Mr. Joy's colleague, had been suddenly called to St. Louls today and thought, in courtesy to him, as he had given much attention to the case, that its consideration should be postponed until his return, but Mr. Patterson declined to do so, and the yeas and nays were demanded on tion of consideration raised by Mr. yeas and STARTED TO FILIBUSTER. ublicans promptly inaugurated a filibuster, with a view of forcing the demo- crats to produce their own quorum before the contested election case should be con- sidered. They refrained from voting and the democrats fell short of a quorum on a vote, the r It being 4 to 4, 1 a call was then ordered. The call déveloped the presence of 224 members Mr. Patterson offered a resolution revok: ing all leaves of absence and instruetis the se nt-at-arms to telegraph absentee to retu It was adopted without a di- vision.

C. A. Gregory was a prominent mem- ber of the bar in Chicago for thirty years, but {s now a resident of New York, and is devoting his time to irrigation matters. In the old days when he and the mayor were companions, he lived in Cambridge. He had not intended to attend the convention, but Colonel Hinton informed him last Friday that is was impossible for him to come an prevailed on Mr. Gregory to take his place and deliver the address that had been as- signed to Colonel Hinton, AMUSEME It was Colley Cibber who sald, writing of Mrs. Bracegirdle, that “of her audiences at least one-half were her lovers,” and the same might with equal force and pr y be said of last night's audience assembled at Boyd's to assist at the premiere of Omaha girl, Mabel Baton. Not in sev years have so many of the older folk of Omaha been seen in the theater than last night, while the young star's assoclates, playmates, schoolmates crowded the audi- torium and gave the pretty young woman a reception that in its warmth must have told the ambitious player that only the best wishes were for her. Upon Miss number of which Is be she Is has lavished a notable among ating a fine sweet- which to her thorough disgust was considerably marred by ‘a disagreeable hoarseness, which detracted somewhat from the well rounded portraiture one has reason to believe would fittingly characterize her Performance of a character that runs the whole gamut of the emotions. Although subject to comparison with that brilliant actress who made Belle Russe one of the strong creations of the stage, Jeffreys Lew quite justitied all the expectations of her friends in the part of the queen of the demi monde, of being possessed of dramatic talent of no mean Dproportions. As light as a feather, but as sharp as a razor, she deals no ride blows, but cuts down’ to the emotion she wishes to create, and never that one can perceive allows her weapon to control her. Dealing with all the hysteria and paroxysms of passion she directs and manages them without ever losing sight of the motif of the play, the drawing of a moral that sin must event- ually be exposed in all its nakedness to the world. “La Belle Russe” fs not a noble play by any means, for it deals with a woman of the half-world, who through the force of her own indomitable will and ambition rises above her dead self to a proud position only to be dashed back into the shadows when just about to realize the goal for which she has So long aspired. Of course there were crudities in her per- formance which only assoclation with the stage will remove, but at times she seemed to catch with a special sense of her own at some of the nuances of the text, and at such times the unleashed instinct of the voung candidate for stellar honors a) peared like the foregleams of true drama tic ability. She has vet much to learn of the technique of her profession. No one re- cognizes this more than does Miss Eaton, but there is In evidence a careful study of the emotional role and a desire to do credit to those who know her, for which she de- serves the most pronounced encouragement. So many were her friends in front t Miss Eaton must have grown tired of celving all the tributes of flowers whic were presented to her over the footlights, and the warmth of her reception was very flattering.

There was a smaller attendance than had been expected at the adjourned annual meeting of thé members of the Omaha Tennis club last night, but the interest manifested by those who were present was the less keen. The meeting was led for the purpose of adopting rules, a draft of which had been drawn up by the committee which was appointed two weeks Defore Several of the rules evoked a heated dis- fon_before they were agreed to, and on ile fixing the rate of subscription for members many conflicting opinions were expressed. The question was simply between a $7 rate and a $10 rate.
