VIENNA, March 23. (Special.) In tM
great conflict full of dramatio Incidents
affecting the settlement betwen Austria
and Hungary, already covering a apace of
eul wears, a definite conclusion appeara to
be approaching. It must however, be ob
aerved that both Austria and Hungary are
in the highest degree pessimistic, as the
previous negotiations gave very little pros
pect of the realisation of the aettlement
since the expiration of the last definite ar
rangement In 1900, aa serious differences
between the halves of the monarchy on the
one hand and the refusal of the two Par
liaments to oome to any definite conclusion
on the other, prevented any final arrange
ment. Government haa been carried on by
provisional combinations for limited pertoda
and these nave now elapsed, so that either
a new aettlement muat be mad or a line
laid down upon which after a certain
Mrlod mutually resolved unon the seDara-
kn of the two halves of the monarchy
II 'shall follow.
' I 4 At present only an economlo separation
la contemplated, but all well Informed per
eons know after such a separation It will
be impossible to continue the political
union. Hungary demands an Independent
army, which wish it at present holds in
reserve; also separate diplomatic represen
tatlon abroad, its own flags and emblems
n nnmhsr f nthoe tlilnva which If fih-
y " talned signify political separation from
Austria, so tnat only tne person oi inn
monarch would remain common and a per
sonal u:ilon would be established.
Demands of Haagary.
Hungary, however, now that a disposi
tion la shown In Austria to come to an
oonomlo agreement, puts forth Impossible
condition!. It will no longer have a cus
toms aud commercial alliance with Aus
tria, but only a treaty, Intending after the
expiration of the present commercial union
with Ajttrla to conclude Independent com
mercial treaties with foreign countries
without reference to Austria. It eeks the
establishment of its customs territory, tha
limits of which It will, aa toon aa possible,
even before the expiration of this commer- j
tin I tre4'ty?puMttvely fix. .

even the smallest fraction of the
ngarlan desires without being blown
like chaff before publlo opinion in
Austria, as In the whole country a firm
conviction exists that by the noncomple
tlon of the settlement Hungary will suffer
far greater material '.oss than Austria,
since It he. no Industries, and as far as
credit is concerned la thrown upon Austria.
The Austrian government demand that the
settlement shall be extended at least until
IMS, so that the long-existing uncertainty
as to the connection of the two countries
hall finally end, and Austria trade and
industry may know how long the Hun
garian market can be counted upon as open
to It The Hungarian government, under
all circumstances, will only agree to ' a
settlement with a duration, at the longest,
of ten years, and wislfes to close the diffi
cult discussions before Easter.
These are the chief differences, and even
when they are aolved they will be followed
by a number of details, with regard to
which amicable arrangements will be diffi
cult. Dwel Over Bareaees.

for construction In private yards, and the i
remainder of the contract work will be a
few destroyers and submarine boats. The
dock yards will have the other large ships
probably two battleships, one each for
Portsmouth and Devonport a mother boat
for destroyer at Pembroke and some sub
marine boats for Chatham. The Pembroke
boat will probably necessitate the length
ening of a graving dock there.
It will thus be noted that practically the
minimum ftmnnnl nf vnrk la to he frlvpn OUt
to contract. Private shipbuilders through-
out the kingdom are making efforts to
bring the question of a larger share being
allotted to them before Parliament at the
first opportunity. It has become the cus
tom to give the dock yards first con
sideration In the allocation of new work,
and there Is some ground for the suspicion
that this Is in a measure due to the
vigilance of the parliamentary representa
tives of dock yard towns and of the labor
party generally. It is difficult to under
stand why the clalma of the Clyde and
other shipbuilding centers are not strongly
set forth even by the labor party. A glance
at the work given out In recent years show
how the contractors have been treated, and
proves that there Is reason for a protest,
so the private builders assert Under the
program for th financial year 1903-4 It
waa considered that one armored cruiser
would suffice to keep the dock yards fully
employed, and the three battleships of that
year were to go to contract along with
other work, but during the session the
voice of the members of Parliament fa
voring the dock yards was loud and tha
result was that the three battleship wer
ordered, respectively, from Portsmouth,
Devonport and Chatham.
rrlvate Ballder Los.
In the following year, 1904-06, four cruiser
and two battleships ware Included In the
program, and later when tt waa found
possible to drop out of the list oh cruiser,
owing to the state of th" shipbuilding
program In foreign countrle. th work
for the dockyards waa not reduced; but
again private flrma suffered, th contract
cruiser being deleted from the program
In 19(16-06 again th same thing happened.
Portsmouth got the Dreadnought but In
stead of four only three cruiser were
ordered from the great naval establish
ment owned by companies. In the finan
cial, year . now drawing to an end there
la a repetition of the procedure. It was In
contemplation to build four armored shlpa
two In the dockyards and two in private
firms. Again the intentions of foreign
powers were not fulfilled and It was found
possible to drop one of the ships and for
the fourth year In succession private flrma
suffered. Thua in four years six vessels,
which It waa th Intention of the admiralty
to order from contractor when the navy
estimates of th respective year were
drawn ud have been denied to private
nrmg. Th hull of these ships without
armour represent about IIO.OOO.OOO, about
one-half of which would have gone for
labor. In other word the working classes

a motor car to find out what waa wrong.
Thla arrived at th seen of the break
down at the am moment a th holel

waa accordingly made by the king in hla

, Th king treated hi mishap with entire
good humor, alighting from the car when

personage who Is well known In industrial
and political circles, euddenly became in

state of terror would permit that her hus

servants and to set fire to the houne. In
her despair she begged that somebody
would enter the house and take away her
children.
Meanwhile Herr Qebler himself was seen
at another window. He had a rifle and a
revolver, and first with one, then with the
other he started a fusllade Into the street.
Shot succeeded shot and nobody dared ven

firearms of the madman.
At length, however, a courageous man

AMERICAN JURY A SURVIVAL
British Have Changed Rale for
Selecting; Men to - Try
Criminal Caees.
LONDON. March 23.-(Speclal.)-Engllsh
Journals, legal snd lay, are engaged In
criticising the methods of American Juris
prudence In connection with the trial of
Harry Thaw for murder. The following
from the Law Jaurnnl is serving as the
text for many Interesting comments:
"The procedure adopted In New York as
to the empaneling of the Jury to try Mr.
Thaw for murder Is based on English com
mon law, but It Is difficult to say whether
it should be described as a survival or de
velopment or an abuse of the common law.
In England It Is not now the practice to
examine on the "voire dire' a Juror who
Is challenged, nor to ask his views on
capital punishment or what he has read
about the case in which It is proposed to
make him a Juror; and objections to Ju
rors are usually intimated to the officer of
the court who leaves out the name ob
jected to In calling over th Juror. There
1 one Irish case, Reglna against Hughes,
in 1841, in which counsel for defense was
allowed to ask the Juror, 'Have you ex
pressed an opinion beforehand with re
spect to the guilt or th Innocence of the
prisoner?' But . in a subsequent case,
Reglna against Hughes (1S42), th same
Judge ruled that a Juror coming to th
book may be asked any question not tend
ing to disgrace htm, but he cannot be
asked If he haa formed or expressed any
opinion against the accused. The exlstenoe
or expression of such an opinion must b
formed by extrinsic evidence Thl ruling
1 in accord with another Irish case. Rex
against Sheridan, in 1811. The Kngllsh au
thorities are all to the effect of the second
ruling."

LONDON, March a. (Special.) Gold and
platinum have been discovered in Wales
In sufficiently promising quantities, it is
believed, to Justify opening Important

Is at present sole possessor of the secret
of the exact whereabout of the ore and
holds the prospecting rights over an arsa
comprising six or seven square miles.
"More will probably be heard of the dis

one of the firm when an attempt wss made

Judge at present it is a distinctly valuable
one. Gold quarts runs through the prop
erty, without question, and the result of
testings Indicate that both gold and plati
num exist In payable quantities.
"Some of the specimens were obtained
from a level and others from outcrops, and
all- carried gold, while In one of them plati
num, which is of course more valuable
than gold, was discovered m very prom
ising quantities. Our experiment have
satisfied us that before many days we
shall be Justified in opening out the prop
erty to some extent."
The existence of the mstals was first

to prospect and submit specimens. The

Roamanlnn Rising Anarchistic.
BUCHAREST, Roumanla, March 23. In
the opinion of the Roumanian government
the rising of peasants tn Moldavia Is more
of an anarchistic character than antl
Semltlc. In reply to requests for a state
ment on the subject today Finance Minis
ter Ionescu wrote the following note:
"The present regrettable movement Is not
only of an anti-Semitic, but also of an
agrarian and anarchistic character. , The
houses of Christians, both owners and
tenants, have been destroyed. The govern
ment has taken all possible measures to
cope with the movement, which now must
be regarded more as an anarchistic cam
paign than anything else.
According to the latest advice received
here the movement 1 spreading southward.
Bands of peasants In the Brantlov and
Buxeu districts, mostly armed with cud
gels, are trfaraudlng over the farms, threat
ening the proprietors with death unless
they ameliorate the conditions of work.
The government claims that the dis
turbance have been queried In the districts
In which It has been able to get sufficient
troops. A regiment of cavalry left here
today for the Bacau and Vaslul districts.
Peasaata Well Organised.
In the Bacu, Vaslul and Roman districts
the peasants are well organised. Most of
them have served in the army and they
have formed themselves Into companies
and regiments under officers, and are plun
dering small towns and villages, wherever
there Is an insufficiency of troops to over
awe them, without distinction as to na
tionality. In several Instances the farmer
and land owner have yielded to the de
mand of th peasant and the raids have
ceased.-, Ia tha attack made by peasant
on troop at Blegestl, In the Bacu dis

Colonel Poeiser, who waa tn command of
the troops, and locked him up In the house
Of thea public prosecutor, which they were
preparing to burn when the troops dis
persed thern.
A serious encounter between troops and
peasants haa occurred at th small town of
Mis allenl, near the Bukovlna frontier, in
tha district of Dorohol.
Many peasant were killed during the

The disturbed sections of tha country
have been placarded with an announcement

farming trusts will be submitted to Parlia
ment during the present session.

BILL MADE SPECIAL ORDER FOR TUESDAY
Mladen Grain Maa Show He I Will
ing to Comply with Proposed Law
by Reporting Prices Paid
for Grain.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. March 23. (Special.) Tht
house thla afternoon took another throw al
the antl-pasa bill, but for some unaccount.
able reason tt failed to come to a show
down, but made the bill a special order
for Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Th
only definite action taken regarding thla
platform pledge was to vote down a mo
tion by Cone practically to tack on the old
house antl-pnss bill to the senate title.
Cone got only thirteen vote for hla mo
tion The debate came over the report of
tho railroad committee, to which wa re
ferred the senate bill a few dny ago. Tht
committee appointed a subcommittee of
five which met with a like committee from
the senate and agreed to the amendments.
There seems little doubt that the senat
will adopt the nmendments, but th hnus
showed a disposition this afternoon to play
a little longer. The amendments provide
exemptions from the operations of the law
as follows and that the receiver la equally
guilty with the railroads who give the pass:
Those Who Are Exempt.
Officers, agents, bona fide employes, th
major portion of whose time Is devoted to
the service of such railroad company and
the dependent members of their Imme
diate families, officials and linemen of th
telegraph companies, ex-employe, retired
from service on acoount of age or because
of disability sustained while In the service,
and the dependent members of their Imme
diate families, or the widows or dependent
children of employes killed while In th
service of such railroad company; neces
sary caretakers of live stock, poultry, fruit
including transportation to and from th
point of delivery, and employes of sleeping
car companies arid express companies, rail
way mall service employes, newsboys on
trains, baggage agents and persons Injured
In wrecks and physicians and nurses at
tending them.
Provided, that one trip pass for a dls
charged employe and his family may be
issued for use within thirty days of auclt
a discharge.
Provided, further, that the provisions ot
this act shall not be construed to prohibit
and make unlawful the Interchange of
passes for the officers, .gents and employe,
and the dependent members of their Imme
diate famine, of other railroad companies,
nor to prohibit any railroad company from
carrying passengers free with the object of
providing relief in cases of general epi
demic, pestilence or calamitous visitation,
rase I. Called Down.
Cone was very much put .out with tha
report and moved his substitute, upon
which he made a lengthy speech. Harri
son of Otoe used pretty plsln language
In telling the house It had fooled over this
matter long enough and that the amend
ments were sure to be adopted by the .en
ate, and it waa time the platform pledge
along thla line should be kept Jenlson
spoke In favor of tha committee amend
ments, and It was while tha gentleman
from Clay was speaking that Cone Inter
rupted so much that the speaker had to
call him down.
"It Is very unpleasant for me," wild th
speaker, "to be continually reminding the
gentleman from Saiinder. that h. la break
ing the rules of this house. I desire to
give every man on this floor a chance to
be heard without being interrupted and
I Intend to do this, and it la very unpleas
ant for me when th. gentleman front
Saunders compel me to ao frequently re
mind htm of the rules."
After Jenlson finished tha Cona amend
ments were voted down and the Harrison
motion to adopt th majority report of th
committee was adoped. Clarke then moved
that the amendment, be engrossed for
third reading and printed. Elmer Brown ob
jected to thl because he hadn't tlma had
time to look over the committee amend
ments, and flnnlly a motion by Quacken
buah was carried to make the bill a spe
cial order for Tuesday morning.
The house discussed a little while th
Doran bill to prevent pooling of commit
alon men, but took no definite action, and
It also passed over without action the bill
to establish a binding twine plant at tha
state penitentiary.
One Grain Dealer Willing.
Acting under the spirit of th McKmsob
bill to require grain dealer, to report dally
to the labor bureau th. price paid for
grain, the Mlnden Grain company filed it
report with th. labor commissioner today.
Tha report says: "W ar paying th fol
lowing price for grain: Wheat 7 cents,
down; com, 17 cent per bushel, down;
oats, 83 cents per bushel, down. W. see
the senate has passed No. i23 and to b
sure we would comply with the law as well
aa to get used to issuing these dally cards,
we thought best to commence at one.
Please acknowledge receipt of this."
Inasmuch aa th. bill doe. not require
the labor commissioner to acknowledge re
ceipts of these card., the labor commls-
loner probably will not take on any new
dutlesat this time.
Mike Lee Is getting tired of this quiet
life down here and wants te start some
thing to get hi blood stirred up. In fact,
he wants to open up th campaign in Doug
las county right away. Speaking of th
passage by the house of the terminal tag
bill, he said: "It was the greatest victory
ever won by a Douglas delegation In a
legislature. Its effect on Douglas county
politically will be a surprise to lots of
people. It means that Representative
Clark will be the next congressman from
the Second district and that Ed Leeder will
be the next sheriff of Douglas county."
Hootlne llonae Proeeedlng.
The house spent the day in committee of
the whole and recommended the following
bills for paasage:
