LONDON , April 7. ( New York World
fable Special to The Bee. ) Further ac
counts of the KnsRiith funeral at Duda-
I'cKth show that It has been the most Im
posing demonstration of modern times , more
universal as an expression of sentiment of
a whole people , more solemn In every de
tail , and of course more picturesque than
nny one of the other six great similar events
of thu century , namely : The return of
Napoleon's body to France , and the funerals
of Wellington , the prince consort , Victor
Hugo , General Grant and Emperor William
1. The most Interesting and significant
dlffcicnce between the burial 6f Knssuth
and any of the others was the entire ab-
koncn of nny military display. Not n 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
n patriot , nnd , It must bo remembered ,
of one who hnd been In exile for nearly
half n century , and whoso Ideas had almost
all been fulfilled In the Interval. U was
not n demonstration In favor of the still
disputed and uncertain rights of a people.
The .World's Dudn-Pcsth dispatches have
given tho-main details of the great funeral ,
but newspapers now nt hand furnish fuller
and more plcturesqua Incidents. Not less
than 200,000 country people followed the
coffin to the grave , ns well ns at least 300-
000 residents of Buda-I'csth and vicinity ,
who were cither In the procession or lining
the roads.
COUNTRY PEOPLE WALKED IN.
There was good weather for two daya
nnd nights , nnd great masses of country
people came pouring Into town , thousands
by rail nnd In carts , but the majority on
foot. The greatest font wns accomplished
by the Inhnbltants of Czcgled , whoso deputy
Kossiith .waa forty-eight years before. Tuo
thousand men and women with flags and
provisions for five days marched to Duda-
J'esth , the Journey taking a whole day
nnd night. Whole villages cnmo 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 hajs on well developed heads , with
n black feather and sprig of laurel worn
In sign of mourning. The women wore
their national dress , accordeon pleated and
very short gowns of Incredible dimensions ,
black silk handkerchiefs on their heads ,
their hair In plaits tied with crape.
The procession was opened by an Imposing
number of ladles In deepest
mourning , most
of the > bearing palm leaves. They walked
eight abreast.
They were women of all
stations , wives of members of the Inde
pendent party and the party of 1S4S , wives
and daughters of lawyers , doctors , country
gentlemen , tradesmen and peasants ; old
women with snow white hair , shining under
the capes of their bonnets ; young girls ,
children In frocks , women In velvet and
watered silks , with plumes In their hats ,
women In woolen gowns , with their silk
kei chiefs tied under their chins. There
were first seventy-eight rows of women ,
each belonging to the Independent party ;
then seventy more rows belonging to the
party of ISIS. In the procession was one
little group carrying the most significant
emblem of all , a great royal crown of thorny
branqhes , berne on a purple cushion , with
the Inscription " ' "
, "Kossuth's Crown.
EXCITING SCENES AT THE CLOSE.
One old man died of apoplexy , and several
lingers were cut oft from different hands as
the people fought for laurel leaves from
garlands tied with wire. The poet , Joakl ,
fainted after his speech. After the funeral
the Imniciibo assemblage dispersed without
nny disorder and but very few casualties.
A dispatch today from Duda-Pesth says that
subscriptions for u Kossuth monument
promise \a be as popular as the funeral
demonstration The great Hungarian Is now
burled between the graves of his former
associates , Dcnk and Amlnizzy , and the
monument will probably bo raised on that
site. The subscriptions already amount to
250,000 florins , and ls headed by Counts
Bntthany and ShechenyJ and Baron Eotroes ,
sons of Kossuth's colleagues In the ministry.
Judging from the present enthusiasm , the
subscriptions will soon amount to 1,000,000
florins. The Jewish congregation of Buda-
1'csth have alone subscribed 50,000 florins
The work of designing and building the
magnificent monument will bo open to the
competition of artists.
The two sons of Kossuth hnvo been greatly
feted and honored. Louis has gone back to
Italy , but Francis will remain at Duda-
1'esth for several weeks. Ho will doubtless
take up n Hungarian citizenship , but first
must bo expatriated from Italy. In this
event hojiroposeg to fill n prominent role In
future Hungarian politics In the Independent
party He cannot bo elected a deputy beforu
Ih'Jti. Undoubtedly ho will be accepted as a
representative of his father's Ideas.
LOOKS DARK FOR ROSEBERY.
There la no certain ! ) , and , perhaps , no
overly thieatcnlng probability of a full of
the Roarbery ministry next week , but It
would surprUe no keen observer of the
Inner workings of liberal politics If that
disaster should occur even on Monday. Nor
will the pomlblo vote of want of confidence
bo .on any serious ipjenUon , but If nt all , It
will be on a mere technical motion , the
ovact nature of which It U dllllcult to ex
plain except at length. Nona the less , If
thu government U not sustained even on
this technical point , It must resign , and ills-
solution will of course follow. The Irlih
imtlonnlint leaders assure me tonight that
their forces will bo steadfast. The defection
learinl will be from Mr. Laboucherc's little ,
but , perhaps , sufficient group of dissatisfied
radicals , aided by the absence from a crit
ical division of Rcdmond'd nine PnrncllltcB
By tomorrow night It will probably be safe
to venture on an accurate prediction. If not
before then. BALLARD SMITH.

Tlnit Nation Upcoming IntrrrMetl In thu
Affair * of lliiHiill.
HONOLULU , March 31 The Japanese
question Is the most absorbing topic of In
terest here. Since the arrival of the now
Japanese Warship , the Tnknchlho , the Japan
ese have taken on n much more Independent
nlr than formerly , nnd arc openly claiming
the right to n voice In the affairs of govern
ment. The warship Ntnlwa went to Hllo , on
the coast of Hawaii , recently , carrying the
Japanese minister , Sfr Fiijy , with her The
minister has not yet returned , and Is said
to be conferring with the Japanese contract
laborers. As there arc many thousands of
them on the Islands , the people are becoming
alarmed as to what the outcome may bo.
It Is surmised that If the Japanese Insist
on the voting franchise and It Is refused
they will try to take things Into their own
hands and compel the provisional govern
ment to recognise 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 n poor chance of victory.
A prominent Japanese ofllclal connected
with the legation here bald to the Associated
press correspondent n few days ago. "The
Japanese here want the franchise , nml they
nro 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
nre not going to let our Interests be trampled
upon by the provisional government. "
The Portuguese have also made a demand
on their minister for n warship. They claim
they arc In fear of an nprlslng In the near
future , and that In case of victory for the
rovallsts they would be disfranchised.
Politically , matters 1mo been quiet since
last advices , nnd nothing importnnt 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
will bo n 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 meetIngs -
Ings At a meeting of the coun
cils , i.eld on the 2flth lust , the minister
of finance Introduced a new salary list for
government "efiTplojes that will save the
country about JGO.OOO a year. It had been
found absolutely necessary to cut down the
government expense as much as possible ,
as the revenues of the countiy 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 baUl they are being
made to think that In case of a restoration
their lives would bo the forfeit In the event
of their taking oaths to support the provi
sional government.

LONDON , April 7. The Times this mornIng -
Ing publishes an Interview with James E.
Huddart , promoter of the proposed Canadian
Pacific mall route to Australia. Mr. Hud-
dajt , who has been Inspecting the facilities
of Southampton , says that ho regards that
place as the mall port of London. Ho thinks
that when the dock works at Southampton
are completed It will be difficult for any
other port to offer equal advantages for a
Canadian mall service. He says the exist
ence of a swift dally mall service between
Southampton and Havre would enable the
establishment of n direct link with the
continent which the promoters of the pro
posed Canadian Pacific mail service demand.
Mr , Huddart believes the American line
would not bo 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 weld bo preferable for both of
them to use the same port nnd help to con
vert Southampton Into the Liverpool of the
south. The only possible drawback likely
would bo the getting of exporters , who have
long been accustomed to Liverpool as their
shipping port , to send their cargoes to
Southampton , but Mr. Huddart holds that
the experience of the American line tends
to provo that this drawback may be eventu
ally overcome. Mr. Huddart concludes by
saying that It will bo for the directors of
the new line to finally decide upon the choice
of a port.

DURL.1N , April 7. The greatest Interest Is
taken hero In the exchange of
courtesies taking place nt Venice to
day between Emperor William and
King Humbert of Italy. Dispatches
from Venice bay the Von Moltke , with the
emperor on board , arrived at the port of
Malomocco , off the bay of Venice , at 10
o'clock this morning. The German war ship
was met by live steamers containing n
party of German residents and the municipal
authorities.
At 11 15 n. m. an artillery paluto an
nounced the entrance of the Von Moltke
During the passage from Malomocco ,
Cmperor William rode on the bridge of the
Von Moltke , rcpljinp to the military salutes.
Ho was greeted with hearty cheers on all
sides. The quay of the Illva Degll Shln-
bonl and the ducnl palace were filled with
an Immense gathering of spectators from
all the buildings along the canal. The ves
sels In the basin of St. Mark were crowded
with people and decorated with Hags.
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
Abruzzl , immediately put off In n boat and
boarded the Von Moltke , where they were
cordially received by the German emperor.
The king and Emperor William remained
In convocation about twenty minutes , after
which King Humbert left.
All the arrangements are complete for the
approaching meeting between Emperor Wil
liam nnd Emperor Franz Josef at Vienna on
April 21. After leaving Vienna , Emperor Wll
Ham 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-Edlnburgh. At
Coburg Emperor William will meet Queen
Victoria and will afterward enjoy some shootIng -
Ing with the grand duke of Saxe-Welmar.
From that place the emperor will go to
Bamberg , where he will Inspect the'Bavarlaif
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 ns
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
Abbazla , 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 lierlln , 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 falaughterlng ani
mals is the least cruel , and that nothing
can bo said against it from the point 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
olllcers who have so excused themselves.
It Is understood that In addition to fifteen
ofllccrs dismissed for connection with thu
Hanover gambling scandal thirteen 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 CATHEDHAL.
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 Voluntcrno , was re
ceived with cheers , the sailors manning the
yards and the band plajlng the German
anthem. Emperor Wllllum then went to the
arsenal , where ho was .received by Vice
Admiral Noco and staff , His Imperial
majesty made n thorough examination of
the Italian Ironclad Slcllla ,
There was a family dinner at the palace
this evening In honor of Emperor William.
King Humbert appeared at the window of
the palace with Cmpero : William at his
side , and the two sovereigns remained there
for some time , bowing in reply to the cheers
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
ut 11 p. m . amid hearty cheers from the Im
mense throng which remained out of doors
to greet them. _ _

plajed by Mr. Wlndham , Is an unsympa

"An Aristocratic Alliance" Is almost a lit
eral translation of "Legendo do Monsieur
Polerer , " jet 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. Wlndham waved his
hand In the direction of a box from which
Lady Grcenvlllo bowed her thanks to the
audience. The dramntlc critics of the lead
ing newspapers , notably the critic of the
Times , bovercly reproved the failure to give
credit to the French authors of "Legonde de
Monsieur Polerer. " The Times critic re
marks that It Is bcarccly worthy of the Eng

LONDON , April 7. The Admiralty nml
Horsu Guards Garetto MIJS the report Is
current that Major Lecaron , the Drltlsh
government spy , wjio was so prominently
connected with the prosecution of the late
Charles Stewart I'nrnell nml who was an
nounced to hnvo died recently In this city ,
is not dead , but that he Is now cnrotitc
to one of the most distant colonies under
-n gev eminent olllcor's protection. It Is
added that this disappearance of the Drltlsh
spy Is due to the fact that detectives , who
have been guarding Lecaron ever since he
was brought so strongly Into public notice ,
discovered sonic time ago that a Fenian
plot , ha\lng Its ramifications In Now York
and other American cltltcs , existed , with
the object of killing him. When Informed
of the danger to which he had been ex
posed , Lccnron Is said to have petitioned
the Drltlsh bovcrnmcnt to ennblo him to
lca\c England for some distant portion of
the queen's dominions , whore 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 organization
Is proven by the fact that the spy shortly
after his testimony In the famous Times
against I'arnell trial , received a letter from
the head center of Fcnlanlsm In America ,
In which there were some statements made
that shattered the nerve of e\en the plucky
British spy. No one has ever seen the
contents of the letter , with the exception
of those who cent it and the man who re
ceived it nnd the Drltlsh government
authorities to whom.lt was bhown by Le
caron.
Information has been forwarded hero , 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 Lccaron was
living. Whatever may have been the ob
ject , It Is well known that Leenron's life
has been made miserable by knowledge that
a watch has been kept on his movements
by some mysterious power nnd that he could
not keep his whereabouts secret.
Ho demanded of the London Times that
his life bo Insured for an Immense sum , and
It is said his demand was granted , The
home branch of the United Urothcrhood , as
the Fen can organization Is sometimes called.
It Is eald , found out that Lccaron has com
mitted felony In the town of Illchester ,
England , nnd had to My from the country to
escape the vengeance of law. The renlans
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. It is said that an Investigation of
those facts was to Imvo 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 ho desired to avoid.
A body , supposed to bo that of Major
Lecnron. was burled today In Norwood
cemetery The register of deaths ridicules
the idea that Lecaron Is not dead , and that
ho Is on his way to some distant colony.

UNIONTOWN , Pa. , April 7. ( Special Tele
gram to The Dee ) Notwithstanding the In
dications last night pointed to the collapse
of the coke strike , It wns given renewt'd ,
life today by the action of the lenders In
declaring their purpot-c to continue It , and
the mobs nro marshaling their forces tonight
for n fresh outbreak on Mondaj morning.
This action Is duo to the foreign clement ,
whoso representatives dominated the district
convention at Scottdalc this afternoon and
outvoted the English speaking delegates , who
are disgusted and ready to quit. There were
twenty-nine delegates present , about two-
thirds of whom were foreigners Since a
line has been drawn In the present trouble
between the American nnd foreign work-
mci nnd the brunt of the fight placed on
the latter , the delegates representing that
class were determined and would not con
sider even the matter of declaring the strike
off , and decided If the English speaking people
ple did not Join them they would contlnuo
It themselves. Many vigorous addresses
were made.
At 730 this evening the convention passed
a resolution declaring that the strike shnll
bo continued until successful and .arranging :
for another convention to be held at Scott-
dale on Tuesday for the purpose of electing ;
new district olllcers to fill the places of
Uavls , Darby and McSloy , who are hero In
jail. The situation Is now thought to bo
almost as critical as when binds of armed
rioters were scouring the region , spreading
desolation on every side. The people of the
coke region arc living in a state of suspense
and fear , and the most sanguine expect more
bloody battles.
Tomoirow will be a day of marshaling of
forces , preparatory to the grealcst raid of the
present strike. It will bo Inaugurated on
Monday morning ut daybreak nnd will cm-
brnco the entire region from Fair Chance to
Mount Pleasant. Big mass meetings will beheld
held tomorrow evening at different polntH ,
where they will camp for the night to bo
ready for an early stait on Monday morning.
The deputies are still on guard nl the plants
and have been Instructed to protect them nt
all hazard , so any tnfrlngmtnt will likely call
foi th a battle.
John Mollnskl , a noted Hungarian leader ,
was arrested today charged with the murder
of Paddock. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

CONNELLSVILLE , Pn. , April 7. There Is
more activity In all parts of the region
today than at any tlmo 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 ariest of their
leaders their hope of final SIICCCSH 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 speeches 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 everything quiet
today and have no fears of further violence.
They believe the strike Is settled , and that
In a few dais the region will be as active
ns before the strike. The Rnluey company ,
It Is said , will not employ nny Slavs or
Hungarians or Poles people In the future.
An armed mob of 700 Is camped near
Lament , but no trouble | 8 expected , ns the
plant Is well guarded by deputies.
The strikers have stolen 2,000 pounds ot
dynamite from the new reservoir being con
structed on the mountain east of Dunbar
nnd great destruction of property is expected.
The robbery has caused gnat excitement In
the coke regions and many believe prepuru
tlons are being made for a renewal of hos
tilities.
It In said that before the mob left Bradford
to march to Davidson they were addressed
by ono of their leaders , who told them to
close down the Davidson works If ijvery man
ernplovod there was killed In accomplishing
that end. If this Is proved true the David
son rioters will bo liable to conviction of
murder In the first degree.
John McSloy , the vlco president of the
miners district union , has been captured.
He has been placed In the county jail at
Unlontown charted with the murder of
Joseph Paddock.
From present Indications the next twenty-
four hours will witness lively scenes In the
eoko regions. The developments today gave
proof that the collapse of the strike was
only temporary , nnd that the end has not
yet been reached. The men nt the Davidson
works refused to work today , fc-arlng trouble.
The strikers nro mild to be located on the
hill above the works , ready for an attack ,
but thus far the men nt work have not been
disturbed.
UNIONTONVN , Pa , April 7 The plant *
of thy Botithern end of the region are re-
sfimlng operation today under the protec
tion of deputies. No Interference has been
attempted at any but the Lemont works ,
where the drawers stalled to go tu work
shortly after daylight. The Hungarian
women saw Die move and soon assembled
In the yards. They made an assault upon
the men with clubs and stoneu and suc
ceeded In driving them from the yards Thu
men were afraid to return and the plant la
still thut down.
Huro the feeling among the strikers ia
very bitter , and last night they visited the
homes of workmen who are ready to go
back to work and forced them to accompany
them to a mass meeting held at Percy
After the meeting was over they fctayed with
