W ESTABLI - : HONOR TO KOSSUTH Hungarians Orowd Buda-Pesth to Pay Trib- ute to the Dead Patriot, WAS A PECULIARLY IMPRESSIVE CORTEGE Abgence of the Military a Most Noteworthy Feature of the Procession, OVER HALF A MILLION PEOPLE A1TEND Thousands Marched from Interior Towns to Be Present at (he Funeral, EXCITING SCENES AFTER THE SERVICE One Man Dies from the Result of Press Scramble for Souvenirs from the —Gres Wreaths Mo Building = me 1504 by April 7. Press Publishing Company.) (New York World to Th Bee.)—Further counts of the Kossuth funeral at Bu Pesth show that it has been the most im- posing demonstration of modern times, more an expression of sentiment of a whole people solemn in e de- tail, and of course more picturesque than any one of the other six great similar events of the century, namely: The return of Napoleon's body to France, and the funcrals of Wellington, the prince consort, Victor Hugo, General Grant and Emperor William I The most interesting and significant difference between the burlal of Kossuth and any of the others was the entire ab- sence of any military display. Not a sin- gle soldier was in the streets, all being confined to their barracks, Even the regu- lar police were not visible along the line of march, order being preserved by 10,000 volunteer constables. It was an absolute popular outpouring of love in memory of a patriot, and, it must be remembered, of one who had been in exile for nearly half a century, and whose ideas had almost all been fulfilled in the interval. It was not a demonstration in favor of the still disputed and uncertain rights of a people. The .World's Buda-Pesth dispatches have given thewmain details of the great funeral, but newspapers now at hand furnish fuller and more picturesque incidents. Not less than 200,000 country people followed the coffin to the grave, as well as at least 300,- 000 residents of Buda-Pesth and vicinity, who were either in the procession or lining the roads. COUNTRY PEOPLE WALKED IN. There was good weather for two days and nights, and great masses of country people came pouring into town, thousands by rail and in carts, but the majority on foot. The greatest feat was accomplished by the inhabitants of Czegled, whose deputy Kossuth was forty-elght years before. Two thousand men and women with flags and provisions for five days marched to Buda- Pesth, the Journey taking a whole day and night. Whole villages came marching in together, each body bearing banners With the name of the place it came from. The men were in high boots, straight trousers and short jackets, jaunty little round hats on well developed heads, with a black feather and sprig of laurel worn in sign of mourning. The women wore thelr national dress, accordeon pleated and very short gowns of incredible dimensions, black silk handkerchiefs on their their hair in plaits tied with crape. The procession was opened by an imposing number of ladies in deepest mourning, most of thew bearing palm leaves. They walked elght abreast. They were women of all stations, wives of members of tho finde- pendent party and the party of 1848, wives and daughters of lawyers, doctors, country gentlemen, tradesmen and peasants; old women with snow white hair, shining undér the capes of their bonnets; young gi children in frocks, women In velvet and watered silks, with plumes in their hats, women in woolen gowns, with their silk kerchiefs tied under their chins. There were first seventy-elght rows of women, each belonging to the independent party: then seventy more rows belonging to the party of 1848. In the procession was one little group carrying the most significant emblem of all, a great royal crown of thorny branches, borne on a purple cushion, with the Inscription, “Kossuth's Crown." EXCITING SCENES AT THE CLOSE. One old man died of apoplexy, and several fingers were cut off from different hands as the people fought for laurel leaves from garlands tied with wire. The poet, Joaki, fainted after his speech. After the funeral the immense assemblage dispersed without any disorder and but very few casualties, A dispatch today from Buda-Pesth says that subscriptions for a Kossuth monument promisk’ to be as popular as the funeral demonstration. The great Hungarian is now buried between the graves of his former assoctates, Deak and Andrazzy, and the monument will probably be raised on that site. The subscriptions already amount to 50,000 floring, and is headed by Counts Batthany and Shechenyi and Baron Eotroes, sons of Kossuth's colleagues in the ministry. Judging from the present enthuslasm, the subscriptions will soon amount to 1,000,000 florins. The Jewlsh congregation of Buda- Pesth have alone subscribed 50,000 florins, The work of designing and building the magnificent monument will be open to the competition of artists.

JAPAN MAY TAKE A HAND, That Natlon Hecoming Interested in the Affalrs of Hawall, HONOLULU, March 31.—The question Is the most absorbing topic terest here, Since the arrival of th ship, the Takachiho, the Japan- have taken on a much more independent air than formerly, and are openly claiming the right to a voice in the affairs of govern- ment. The warship Niniwa went to Hilo, on the coast of Hawali, recently, carrying the Japanese minister, Mr. Fujy, with h The minister not yet returned, is said to be conferring with the Japanese contract laborers. As there are many thousands of them on the islands, the people are becoming alarmed what the may be, It is surmised that if the Japanese insist on the voting franchise and it s refused they will try to take things into their own hands and compel the provisional govern- ment to recognize them. Should such a contingency occur it is more than likely that the Chinese would join forces with the Japanese, and the white people of the islands would stand a poor chance of victory. A prominent Japanese official connected Wwith the legation here said to the Assoclated press correspondent a few days ago: “The Japanese here want the franchise, and they are going to get it. If they cannot our government Is going to take a hand in the matter. We have big men-of-war here, and are not going to let our interests be trampled upon by the provisional government. The Portuguese have on their minister for a they are in fear of an uprising in the near future, and that In case of victory for the royalists they would be disfranchised. Politically, matters have been quiet since last advices, and nothing important has transpired. The American union party, which has taken the place of the old Annexation club, has held an election on this island, Oahu, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the central committee regulating the af- fairs of the party. A number of extreme radicals have been elected to this committee, and it is anticipated that the new organization Wwill be a thorn in the side of the govern- ment. The American league, which was sup- posed to have amalgamated with the union party, still holds independent meet- s. At a meeting of the coun- feld on the 20th inst. the minister of finance introduced a new salary list for government Gmployes that will save the country about $60,000 a year. It had been found absolutely necessary to cut down the government expense as much as possible, as the revenues of the country are decreas- ing. The registration of voters for the com- ing election of delegates to the constitutional convention has commenced. The natives are not registering, and it is sail they are being made to think that in case of a restoration their lives would be the forfeit in the event of their taking oaths to support the provi- slonal government.

LONDON, April 7.—The Times this morn- ing publishes an interview with James E. Huddart, promoter of the proposed Canadian Pacific mall route to Australia. Mr. Hud- dagt, who has been inspecting the facilities of ‘Southampton, says that he regards that place as the malil port of London. He thinks that when the dock works at Southampton are completed it will be dificult for any other port to offer equal advantages for a Canadian mail service. He says the exist- ence of a swift daily mail service between Southampton and Havre would enable the establishment of a direct link with the continent which the promoters of the pro- posed Canadian Pacific mail service demand. Mr. Huddart belleves the American line would mot be sorry to see the new line adopt Southampton as the port of arrival and departure for Its steamers in prefer- ence to Liverpool, because, though to a cer- tain extent the two lines would be com- petitors, it wold be preferable for both of them to use the same port and help to con- vert Southampton into the Liverpool of the south. The only possible drawback likely would be the getting of exporters, who have long been accustomed to Liverpool as their shipping port, to send thelr cargoes to Southampton, but Mr. Huddart holds that the experience of the American line tends to prove that this drawback may be eventu- ally overcome. Mr. Huddart concludes by saying that it will be for the directors of the new line to finally decide upon the choice of a port. RIVAL. FRIENDS I William of Germany Unburdens Himself to an Austrian Audience, POLA, Austria, April 7.—At the luncheon given in honor of Emperor William on board the Austrian frigate Radetzky, Archduk Carl Stephen toasted Emperor William, who, in reply, proposed and drank the health of Emperor Francis Joseph. In the after- noon Emperor William dined at the naval casino, where, in reply to a toast in his honor, he proposed the health of Admiral Sterneck. During his speech the em- peror expressed his cordial thanks for the reception accorded to the German warships which visited Austrian ports in 1891 and wished prosperity to the Austrian navy, whose activity and progress, he added, had now become acquainted with Continuing, - Emperor William “Wherever Emperor Francis Joseph, best friend, to whom I united by the closest amity and truest brotherhood of arms, might summon the German fleet, it would go full steam ahead." or Willam also drank Francls Juseph The toast was he sald: my am the health and the enthusi- mpel wperor Austrian navy. astically received.

Dis from Venice the Von Moltke, with emperor on «d, arrived at the port of Malomocco, off th bay of Venic at 10 o'clock this morning. The German war ship was met by five containing a party of German residents and the municipal authorities, At 11:15 a. m. an nounced the entrance of the Von Moltke During the from Malomocco, Emperor William rode on the bridge of the Von Moltke, replying to the military salutes He was greeted with hearty cheers on all sides. The quay of the Riva Degli Shia- boni and the ducal palace we filled with an immense gathering of spectators from all the bulldings along the canal. The v sels in the basin of St. Mark were crowded with people and decorated with flags. A thunder of gunpowder salutes and hur- rahs from the spectators greeted the emperor’s arrival in the bay of St. Mark Upon his arrival in the basin of St. Mark, King Humbert and his nephew, the duke of Abruzzi, immediately put off in a boat and hoarded the Von Moltke, where they were cordially received by the German emperor. The king and BEmperor William remained in conversation about twenty minutes, after which King Humbert left. All the arrangements are complete for the approaching meeting between Emperor Wil- liam and Emperor Franz Josef at Vienna on April 21, After leaving Vienna, Emperor Wil liam will go to Karlsruh and from Karlsruh to Coburg, to be present at the wedding of the grand duke of Hesse and the Princes Victoria Melita of Coburg-Edinburgh. At Coburg Emperor William will meet Queen Victoria and will afterward enjoy some shoot- ing with the grand duke of Saxe-Weimar. From that place the emperor will go to Bamberg, where he will inspect the Bavarian regiment. The Idea current in soms quarters that these meetings of the allied emperors have some bearing upon a possible disarmament of the armies of Europe may be dismissed as unworthy of serious consideration. This is clearly demonstrated by the fact that next year's Austro-Hungarian military budget, which has been approved since the return of Francis Josef from his visit to William at Abbazia, shows an increase of 4,000,000 florins. This increase is chiefly to be de- voted to the augmentation of the peace ef- fective of the army. Private telegrams from St. Petersburg say every effort is being made to induce the czar to visit Berlin, but these efforts have, so far, been without success. Apropos of the anti-Semite demands that legal proceedings be undertaken against the Hebrew mode, as prescribed by the ritual, of slaughtering animals, on the ground that it involves cruelty, a book has just been pub- lished which contains “the views of 253 scientists on the question. These assert that the Hebrew mode of slaughtering ani- mals is the least cruel, and that nothing can be said against it from the poing of view of humanity. The trial of Herr Waldemar, accused of usury, the accusation arising from the de- velopments of the Hanover gambling scan- dal, had been set for this week. Owing to the large number of officers involved as wit- nesses and to the fact that many of the men sent medical certificates excusing them from attendance, the trial was adjourned until next week. In the meantime, steps will be taken to hasten the recovery of the officers who have so excused themselves. 1t is understood that in addition to fifteen officers dismissed for connection with the Hanover gambling scandal thirtcen others have been reduced in rank and sent to towns in which there are but small garrisons, and, therefore, but very little military amuse- ment. VISITED THE CATHEDRAL. VENICE, April 7.—Shortly after noon King Humbert took luncheon with Emperor William. At 3:30 the German emperor vis- ited the cathedral, and, accompanying King Humbert on board the Volunterno. ceived with cheers, the sailors manning the yards and the band playing the German anthem. Emperor William then went to the enal, where he was received by Vice Admiral Noce and staff. - His imperial majesty made a thorough examination of the Italian ironclad Sicilia, There was a family dinner at the palace this evening in honor of Emperor Willlam. King Humbert appeared at the window of the palace with Emperor Willlam at his side, and the two sovereigns remained there for some time, bowing in reply to the ¢ of the crowds. Emperor William and the King, accompanied by their respective suites, entered the royal gondola at 10 p. m., and passed up and down the grand canal. They returned to their apartments in the palace at 11 p. m., amid hearty cheers from the im- mense throng which remained out of doors to greet them.

LONDON, April he theaters, with but few exceptions, are again presenting their various attractions, and a few addi- tional novelties are contemplated. At the Criterion theater, under the man- agement of Charles Windham, Lady Green- ville's new comedy, “An Aristocratic Alli- ance,” has been presented, with Mr. Wind- ham impersonating the leading male charac- ter. The dialogue is bright, but the plot is of the thinne The earl of Forbes, played by Mr. Windham, is an unsympa- thetic character, and it now turns out that “An Aristocratic Alllance’ is almost a lit- eral translation of “Legende de Monsieur Poierer,” yet there is not the slightest ac- knowledgment of this fact, and when the comedy was first presented on Saturday last, and again on Monday, in response to calls for the author, Mr. Windham waved his hand in the direction of a box from which Lady Greenville bowed her thanks to the audience. The dramatic crities of the lead- ing newspapers, notably the critic of the Times, severcly reproved the failure to give credit to the French authors of “Legende de Monsieur Poierer.”” The Times critic re- marks that it is scarcely worthy of the Eng- lish stage to resent the charges of dishon- esty brought against it by Dumas, so long as such incidents as those witnessed att he Criterion theater on Saturday and Monday last are permitted. The managers of the London theater appear to be fighting in their efforts to se- cure Mrs. Langtry the next attraction on their boards. Manager Hawley has ar- ranged with Mr. Windham to produce at the Royal Theater an adaption of a French play and he is trying to obtain Mrs. Langtry as the leading lady for the new propuction It is believed, however, that, as already an- nounced, Mrs. Langtry has concluded to ap- pear for Robert Buchanan at the Opera Comique.

Persistent Fenians Who 1y Sought for Ven LONDON, April 7.—The Horsa Guards Gazette sa current that Major Lecs government who was so prominently connected with the prosecution of the late Charles Stewart Parnell and who was an- nounced to have died recently in this city, is not dead, but that he is now enroute to one of the most distant colonies under -a gevernment officer’s protection. It added that this disappearance of the British due to the fact that detecti who guarding Lecaron ever since he into public notice, Admiralty and the report is on, the British SpY, spy s, have heen was brought so strongly discovered some time ago that a Fenian plot, having its ramifications in New York and other American citites, existed, with the object of killing him. When informed of the danger to which he had been ex- posed, Lecaron s said to have petitioned the British bovernment to enable him to leave England for some distant portion of the queen’s dominions, where he would be safer from the vengeance of the Fenians. That Lecaron had the strongest grounds for the belief that he was being hounded by emissaries of the Fenian organizntion is proven by the fact that the spy shortly after his testimony In the famous Times against Parnell trial, received a letter from the head center of Fenianism in America, in which there were some statements made that shattered the nerve of even the plucky British spy. No one has ever teen the contents of the letter, with the exception of those who sent it and the man who re- cefved it and the British government authorities to whom, it was shown by Le- caron. Information has been forwarded here, how- ever, to effect that recently Michael Boland, one of the three members of the famous triangle, at meeting of his friends in a cer- tain city in the United States, admitted openly that Lecaron’s address had been hunted up and that they (the head centers) at that time knew just where Lecaron was living. Whatever may have been the ob- Ject, it is well known that Lecaron's life has been made miserable by knowledge that a watch has been kept on his movements by some mysterious power and that he could not keep his whereabouts secret. He demanded of the London Times that his life be insured for an immense sum, and it is said his demand was granted. The home branch of the United Brotherhood, as the Fenean organization is sometimes called, it is sald, found out that Lecaron has com- mitted felony in the town of Ilichester, England, and had to fly from the country to escape the vengeance of law. The Fenians collected evidence of felony, and the full facts of the suppression of the case, the striking out of the record of the indictment and a clean bill of moral health given to Lecaron by the tory government were ob- tained. 1t is sald that Investigation of these facts was to have been demanded in the House of Commons, and a bitter prosecu- tion of Lecaron attempted. This, of course, would have the effect of bringing the spy and his whereabouts into the glare of pub- licity, which was the one thing above all others he desired to avoid. A body, supposed to be that Lecaron, was buried today in cemetery.

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa., Aprii 7.—There is more activity in all parts of the region today than at any time since the collapse of the strike on Thursday. The strikers have not given up the contest, and as they recover from the consternation into which they were thrown by the arrest of thelr leaders their hope of final success is re- vived. Meetings were held at different points last night, and in every case the Hungarians voted to hold out to the end and compel the operators to accede to their demands. The speechies indicated that the foreigners are becoming tired of being led by men of other nationalities and evinced an intention to conduct the strikes from now on to suit themselves. The operators report cverything quiet today and have no fears of further violence. They believe the strike is settled, and that in a few days the region wil be as active as before the strike.
