Count Hedervary resigned in consequence of his own party voting ‘against him on the| ground that his repudiation of the at-| tacks made by the Austrian Premier, Dr. | von Koerber, upon Hungarian national rights in the Reichsrath was not pro- nounced enough. Premier von Koerber g0 to war in defense of Emperor Francis Joseph’s declaration on the subject of the Hungarian language and other Hungarian demands, and that it would not yield to the latter. The situation is critical. It seems doubt- ful whether Francis Kossuth will be able to impress his peaceful policy on hi- fol- lowers, the majority of whom, led by Herr Barabas, are inclined to push the agitation to extremes. The German merchants in Budapest are going in fear of their lives on account of threats of death leveled at them. At the opening of the sitting of the lower house of the Diet to-day Count Hedervary delivered a speech in defense of Premier von Koerber, to the manifest irritation of the Kossuth and Apponyl parties, the members of which constantly interrupted his speech. The Premier sat down amid great uproar and cries of “Why did you not repel Von Koerber's statement “Shame!” ete, Count Apponyi, the President of the House, left the chair and conferred with the members of all parties witR the re- sult that Francis Kossuth moved a res- olution that the House sit to-morrow to consider Hedervary's speech. . It is feared that the Austrian advisers of the crown will regard the defeat of army . and force the Govern- ment to espouse the Macedonian cause. Dispatches received here from various sources say General Zonticheff has been greeted everywhere with the greatest en- thusiasm and that all the peasants are flocking to his banner, el B TURKS REPULSE ATTACK.

URGES BRITAIN TO ACTION. LONDON, Sept. 29.—A mass-meeting of protest against the situation in Macedonia was held in St. James Hall here to-night and was presided over by the Bishop of Worcester.

Other active and strong stocks included Union Pacific, Atchison, St. Paul, Erie, Reading and United . States Steel pre- ferred, all of which gained 2 points or more. Some of the specialties made greater advances, but the bulk of the day's operations was limited to the issues named.
