t
BUDAPEST. Feb- 19. Tho Hungarian
Parliament "was dissolved . tills morning
with .the use of force.- The floor and-cor-ridors-.of
the building -were cleared by the
police. There was no resistance and no
disorder. The members of tho- Coalition
party declared that the dissolution was
unconstitutional and Illegal and that they
"will hold a meeting "Wednesday In Par
liament building unless prevented by
troops, in which case the meeting will
be held elsewhere. .
The session opened at 30 o'clock sharp.
The president read letters from General
Nyirl, the royal commissioner, and Herr
Justh, president of the lower house, and
declared that the royal rescript dissolving
Parliament, forwarded by General Nyirl
was unconstitutional and Illegal and en
ergetically protested against It. The vice
president proposed that the house Ignore
the rescript and return It to the Emperor-King.
The house unanimously ac
cepted the proposal with prolonged cheers.
Thereafter the minutes of the meeting
were adopted, the deputies were notified
to reassemble on Wednesday and the
honso adjourned.
The royal rescript dissolving Parliament
was left lying unopened on the presi
dent's desk and the members left the
house, singing the Kossuth hymn.
Soldiers and Police Clear House.
The floor was almost cleared when a
captain of Hungarian militia, at the
head of fivo soldiers -with fixed bayonets,
and a large number of policemen who
previously entered by a side door, entered
the house. The captain and soldiers
mounted the president's trlbunel and the
policemen occupied the floor. The captain
then opened and read the rescript amid
constant interruptions from the galleries
and some of the deputies who returned
to the floor and all present united in
singing the Kossuth hymn, with the re
sult that not a word of the rescript could
be heard.
The police escorted several of the noisy
members from the floor and then slowly
cleared the galleries and corridors. A
large crowd of cheering deputies escorted
Francis Kossuth, Count Albert Apponyl
and other leaders from tho house, which
was surrounded by five squadrons of cav
alry and one regiment of infantry, a bat
talion of militia and a thousand police
men. Force Embitters Deputies.
The Deputies, already embittered, were
still further exasperated when, on arriv
ing, they found the building thus cor
doned. This outward evidence of an In
tention to coerce the Deputies settled the
waverers and, when the time came to
vote, there was no divergence of opinion.
Owing to the absence by illness .of Presi
dent - Justh, Vice-President. Rakovsky
opened Hhe session. Ho demanded the
withdrawal of the policegfrom the, pre
cincts of the House, but the Chief of Po
lice declined to do so, and the exiled
Deputies vehemently protested against
this Indignity and urged the House to dis
perse without further business.
Vice-President Rakovsky then commu
nicated a letter from General Nyirl an
nouncing the latter's appointment as
Royal Commissioner with unlimited pow
ers to carry out the dissolution of Par
liament; in the unexpected event of the
Deputies, refusing to separate. After
reading the decree. Herr Rakovsky moved
1hat the royal letter be returned unopened
to General Nyirl,- as the latter was not
qualified to enter Into official communica
tion with the House. The Vice-President
pointed out that conferring unlimited
powers on the commissioner was uncon
stitutional, as the executive power could
only be exercised by the responsible min
isters. Moreover General Nyirl was sub
ject to military discipline, and therefore,
not In a position to exercise such func
tion. The motion was passed unani
mously. .
Victory for Coalition.
Speaking to the Associated Press this
afternoon. Count Albert Apponyl, who
with Francis Kossuth, leads the coalition
parties, expressed himself as highly satis
fied with the events of this morning. He
said'that he considered that tne coalition
Had gained a signal victory over the
crown as the result of the crown's meth
od of attempting to dissolve the Parlla
.ment. which he characterised as illegal
Count Apponyl declared that the Deputies
would proceed to the House on Wednes
day, but. If prevented from entering, they
would retrace their steps without disor
der. Speaking of Hungary's insistence on the
use of the Magyar language for tho word
of command In the army. Count Apponyl
explained that this was not simply a mat
ter of national principle and pride. He
said:

tice. Orchard is said to have confessed
that wholesale assassinations were planned

who have so far been arrested Is very
strong and that more arrests are yet to
be jnade. y
The operations of the Mollie Magulrcs
In Pennsylvania Whom I -ran to earth

leged confession purports to give details
of the plot to assassinate ex-Governor
Steunenberg from its Inception. It gives
the names of other men alleged to be im
plicated, tells where Orchard met them
and the circumstances of the meetings.
Since the confession was secured, more
than two weeks ago, the detectives havo
verified many of the details.
One of the statements in this confession
is that Orchard was selected to assas
sinate one of the Justices of the Supreme

shot, and went to tho house Christmas
eve for that purpose, intending to shoot
through the window, but abandoned the
plan, and hid a number of cartridges un
der the sidewalk. The cartridges, it is
said, have since, been found by the officers.

ings of an "inner circle" of the Western
Federation of Miners, maintained In Den
ver, giving details of plots that led to the
killing of a number of men In the Tellu
ride district in Colorado and Information
about various outrages at Cripple Creek.

named Adams In the Steuncnbcrg con
spiracy. Officers are searching for both of these
men In Oregon. They arc supposed to be
in the vicinity of Haines.
Detective McParland says he secured
the confession by appealing to Orchard's
memory' of his home teachings. He says
he made it plain to Orchard that the state
had a perfect case against him. and that
the best thing he could do would he to
make preparations for a future world.
The confession was committed to writing
and signed by Orchard In the presence of
witnesses.

Step to Home Rule.
OPENING OF PARLIAMENT
Kings' Speech Promises Concessions
to Ireland and Self-Govcrnracnt
for Transvaal . Chamberlain
Leads Attack on
Cabinet.
LONDON. Feb. 19. The pointed refer
ence to Ireland contained in King Ed
ward's speech to the houses of Parliament
today, coupled with the announcement ot
the determination to grant constitutional
government to the Transvaal, brought
these two questions Immediately to the
front in the debate in the House of Lords
and the House of Commons on the mo
tions on the address In reply to the speech
from tho throne. In the former house
the debate was almost perfunctory, ex
cept where Lord Lansdowne, assuming his
new role of leader of the opposition, point
ed out certain dangers connected with the
proposed changes and incidentally com
mented on the Algeclras conference and
the situation in Macedonia, warning the
government of possible difficulties arising
In the near East, unless Great Britain
maintained a firm attitude. It was in the
House of Commons that the debate on
the address. became Interesting, when Jo
seph Chamberlain, In the absence of ex-
Prcmicr Balfour, took the place of leader
of the opposition and in a brilliant and
lengthy speech attacked the government
on all points, and especially on its South
African policy. He threw down the gaunt
let against home rule for Ireland. Re
garding tariff reform, Mr. Chamberlain
promised to. give the government several
bad quarter hours.
Mr. Chamberlain's speech undoubtedly
was the feature of the first day of the
House of Commons. The small coterie of
Unionists took part under his spirited
leadership, and his brilliant thrusts, and
sarcasm were greeted with the heartiest
cheers. Even some of Mr. Chamberlain's
opponents could not refrain from accord
ing him the meed of acclaim for his re
markable attack.
Premier Campbell-Banncrman's rcnly
was. lengthy and perfectly good-humored.
tne spcaicer .assuming that his position
was one of such strength that he could
afford to be generous.
Hcdmond Wants More.
Tho reference to Ireland In the
King's speech was received with minis
led feelings and some degree of doubt.
The Nationalists aro non-commltal and
decline to accept as more than a pos
sibility this seeming step toward home
rule- John Redmond, who followed the
Premier at the night session, boldly
announced that the Nationalists would
not be satisfied with anything- short of
complete self-government. On the
other hand, some of the less -radical
Irish members do not hesitate to say
that the clause in the King's speech
means a modified form of home rule
and intimate that Mr. Redmond should
be satisfied with such n step, as it
would surely guarantee home rule in
the future.
Tho Labor ites profess thcrhselves
well pleased with' the clauses in the
King's speech affecting' British special
interested "
The usual reference to thcTcontlnu-
ance of friendly relations with' foreign
power was followed by a paragraph
of rejoicing- over the fact that the
Russo-Japanese war has "been brought
to an end by the satisfactory conclu
sion of the negotiations commenced In
August, and due to the initiative of
the President of the United States,
which has resulted in an honorable

Referring- to the Moroccan confer
ence, the King remarked. "It Is. earn
estly to be hoped that the result of
these negotiations may bo conducive
to the maintenance of peace among- all
nations."
Colorless mention was made of the
Anglo-Japanese treaty, the dissolution
of the union or Norway and Sweden
and the condition of Macedonia, which
has "continued to give cause for anx
iety." Give Ireland Voice In Affairs.
The speech closed with a mention of
prospective legislation. An important
paragraph devoted to Ireland was as
follows:
My " ministers have under consideration
plans for Immediately Improving and effect
ing economies In the m'stem of government
ot Ireland, and for Introducing therein the 1
means for associating the people with the
conduct of Irish affairs. It Is my desire
that the government of th country, in re

permit. In a spirit regardful of the wishes
and sentiments of the Irish people and I

He walked haltingly, aided by a stick.
When the members of the House of
Commons arrived at the House this after
noon to commence the business of the
session, they found a motley crowd of
women waiting outside, who were eager
to enlist the legislators in support of the
woman's suffrage bilL The reception
which they received was mixed, but the
attitude of the new House Is undoubtedly
more in favor of the movement than here
tofore. Landsdownc Attacks Programme.
In the House of Lords, .the Marquis of
Northampton (Liberal) moved the address
in reply to the King's speech, and Lord
Hcrschell (Liberal) seconded the motion.
Lard Lansdowne (Unionist), the former
Foreign "Secretary, replied. He said with
regard to the Algeclras conference that
he looked with suspicion on any attempt
to correct bad administration by interna
tional control. A single power was much
more likely to succeed. Lord Lansdowne
criticized the proposed legislation for
South Africa. He asked whether the Irish
paragraph In the King s speech meant
home rule by installments and predicted
that a change In the present method of
governing Ireland would cause serious
alarm and uneasiness.
Lords Ripou, Salisbury and Crewe wound
up the depate on the address, which was
agreed to, and the House of Lords ad
journed.
The House of Commons was crowded
when the business of the session began.
Tho King's speech having been, formally
read by Speaker Lowther, W. H. Dickin
son (Liberal) moved the address in a
brief speech, and E. D. Ackland (Lib
eral) seconded It.
Chamberlain's Vigorous Attack.
Joseph Chamberlain, rising from the
front opposition benches, said he was
speaking at the request of cx-Prcmler
Balfour, who was temporarily absent, Mr.
Chamberlain added that he felt sure that
the Premier. Sir Henry Campbcll-Ban-nerman.
would welcome back the man
who for a longer period than any other
during the last century had led the 'de
liberations of the House.
Mr. Chamberlain then paid a tribute to
Mr. Ackland's speech, and. turning Im
mediately to the fiscal question, he said
the government should remember that its
majority In the House of Commons was
much greater In proportion than its ma
jority In the country. In fact, the opposi
tion had nearly all the country behind it.
Mr. Chamberlain said he was pleased to
learn that there would be a continuity of
Great Britain's foreign policy and asked
if the government could give the House
any Information in regard to the Alge
clras conference. He hoped Great Britain
would be able to promote the Interests of
France, because it would be In accordance
with the wishes of the whole country.
Will Fight Home Rule.
Mr. Chamberlain lengthily discussed the
proposed changes In the government of
the Transvaal. He delivered a fighting
speech. He demanded that the govern
ment give plain answers regarding the
proposed legislation for South Africa and
Ireland and said that any measure look
ing to home rule would meet with strenu
ous opposition. He alo warned the gov
ernment that it had not heard the last of
tariff reform.
Premier Campbcll-Bannerman. who re
plied, did not complain of the tone of Mr.
Chamberlain's speech. He said the ques
tions Mr. Chamberlain proposed to ask
would not harass the government.
At the night session the Premier con
tinuing to defend the action of tho gov
ernment In South Africa, maintained that
Chinese labor amounted practically to
slavery and resulted in much cruelty. He
said the government was not ready to
enter into details concerning the exact
plan the government proposed for the
Transvaal. Regarding the Irish ques
tion, the Premier said Ireland had not
sufficient voice in her own affair.
John Redmond. Nationalist, congratu
lated the Liberals on the great victory
of their party. He sa.!d Ireland was
cursed by the worst government in the
world and that It must have self-government.

Chinese Official Refuses to Use For

Build New One Rising
Against French Priests.
VICTORIA. B. C, Feb. 19. The Athen
ian from the Orient, brings advices of the
increase of anti-foreign feeling in China,
to which some officials are giving encour
agement. Shanghai papers call attention
to the anti-foreign action of Viceroy Chou
Tu, following the recent riots regarding
the mixed court at Shanghai, he having
decided to build a jail for the custody of
prisoners held at the mixed court at a
coat of 573O.C0O. The North China Dally
Ncws says there was absolutely no need
for such an establishment, the new mu
nicipal Jail serving the purpose, . and
classes the action as simply due to ill feel
ing and ill temper, translating Into action
the antl-forclgn feeling.
In South China the anti-foreign feeling
Is even more marked. Arrivals from
Hongkong and Canton say visits to the
native cities now involve risking the trav
elers lives. The situation In Canton and
vicinity is Intensified because of popular
discontent ancnt the new Chinese taxation
law, which has resulted in the assassina
tion. January a. of tho Governor-General
of Kwantung Province.
That the anti-foreign feeling is wide
spread Is evidenced by risings against the
French priests in tunnan, far to the west
ward, and in Szcchuan. The Kotao-Aue
Society Is planning anti-foreign risings.
The Viceroy of Yunnan, In reporting at
tacks on the French missions, says the
priests at LIklang Fu have Bhot and
killed several Chinese.

BAD BLOOD
WEAKENS THE SYSTEM
AND INVITES DISEASE
Every part o the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and
strength, and when from any cause this vital stream of life becomes impov
erished or run-down, it invites disease to enter. No one can be well when the
blood is impure; they lack the energy that is natural -with health, the com
plexion becomes pale and sallow, the vital energies are at a low ebb, and they
suffer from a general broken-down condition of health. The system is weak
ened and unable to resist the diseases and disorders that are constantly assail
ing it The Liver and Kidneys, failing to receive the proper stimulation and
nourishment from the blood, grow inactive and dull, and the waste matters
and bodily impurities that should pass off through these channels of nature
are left in the system to ptoduce Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers,
Skin Diseases or some other blood disorder. When the blood is in this weak
ened and diseased condition it should be treated with a remedy that is not
only thorough, but gentle in its action. S. S. S. , a purely vegetable remedy,
made of roots, herbs and barks, is just what is needed. It not only cleanses
the blood of all impurities and poisons, and enriches and strengthens it, but
gently duuos up tne enure system Dy its nne
tonic effect. S. S. S. reinvigorates every mem
ber of the body, gives tone and vigor to the blood ,
and as it goes to the different parts, carries ro
bust health and strength. S. S. S. acts more
promptly and gives better results than any other
medicine. It cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores
and Ulcers, Skin Diseases and all other blood disorders, and cures them per
manently. Our Medical Department will be glad to give advice without
charge to all suffering with blood or skin diseases. Address
