KOSSUTH DEAD.
The Hungarian Patriot Has
Just Died at Turin.
FOR MANY YEARS AN EXILE.
Brief Sketch of the Life of a
Man Whose Aim Was the
Uplifting of Other Men.
Turin, March 21.—Louts Kossuth,
the great Hungarian exile-patriot, passed
away just before midnight.
Lajos (Louis) Kossuth was born at
Monok, Hungary, April 27, 1806. His
parents were poor, but of noble rank.
bOmßs
OaMfe
V (S' &
LOUIS KOSSUTH.
He was educated at the Protestant col
lege of Sarospatak, where he qualified
himself for the practice of law. In 1830
he became agent for the Countess
Szapary, a position which gave him a
seat in the conutal assembly. Two
years later, when the people of Hungary
were groaning under the restrictions on
their rights and privileges, his active po
litical career began in the diet of Pres
burg. As in other countries, about this
critical period, the authorities were op
posed to the publication of debates or
legislative proceedings. Knowing the
power of the press in the cause of re
form, Kossuth founded a paper in which
speeches were published and govern
mental affairs fearlessly discussed. The
authorities took alarm and tried in vain
to stop the spread of liberal ideas. Kos
suth was threatened and his paper sup
pressed, but he found means te keep the
people informed of national affairs, and
in 1837 he was imprisoned for the pub
lication of a lithographed newspaper.
His imprisonment, which lasted about
two years, increased his popularity, and
when he was released he continued his
work for Hungarian freedom. Year by
year, despite numerous attempts at co
ercion, Kossuth’s influence spread. He
was the recognized leader of the oppo
sition in the diet, striving for the com
plete emancipation of the peasants, the
elevation of the citizen class and the
freedom of the press. In 1848 the French
revolution, the great stimulus of radical
doctrines, spurred Kossuth on to broader
objects. He demanded independent gov
ernment for his country and constitu
tional government in the hereditary ter
ritories of Austria. It was his burning
eloquence more than anything else that
started the revolution and insurrection
in Vienna. The ministry was dissolved
in September, 1848, and Kossuth was
placed at the head of the committee of
national defense. Events followed quick
and fast after this. Measures lor push
ing the war against Austria were prose
cuted with great energy.
At Debreczin in April, 1849, the inde
pendence of Hungary was declared and
Kossuth made provisional governor.
Then came difficulties and dissensions in
the ranks of the patriots. Russia threw
herself into the Austrian causa, and to
end the jealousy of Gorgei, his political
rival in the great struggle, Kossuth re
signed the dictatorship. The patriots
were defeated in August, 1849. and Kos
suth fled into Turkey, where he was
hold a prisoner.
Despite the pressure of Russia and
Austria the sultan refused to surrender
the patriot, who, through the interven
tion of England and the United States,
was allowed to leave Turkey. In De
cember, 1851, accompanied by his wife,
he was conveyed to the United States as
the nation’s guest by the warship Mis
sissippi, which had been dispatched for
that purpose. What followed is well
known. Kossuth was received every
where with the greatest enthusiasm. He
became the friend of Daniel Webster
and other great statesmen of the time.
He addressed meetings in the large cit
ies in advocacy of the claim of Hungary
to independence. His eloquence was re
garded as marvelous, but the coup d’etat
of Napoleon 111 struck a fatal blow to
his agitation, and in spite of popular
sympathy with the great exile, his mis
sion fell flat.
Kossuth returned to Europe in July,
1852, and joined hands with Mazzini and
Ledro-Rollin. He delivered lectures in
Great Britain on history and European
„ politics, and became as popular there as
he was in the United States. In 1859 he
proposed a plan of attack on Austria to
Louis Napoleon, but the peace of Vil
lafranca prevented its consummation.
The Hungarian legion was dissolved,
and Kossuth returned to England bit
terly disappointed. He removed to
Turin (where ha die!) in 1862. During
the war of 1866 he tried again to rouse
the Hungarians, but failed. His hopes
fled with this failure, and h » remained
in exile, preparing his memoirs, study
ing scientific subjects and writing occa
sional articles for magazines.
Kossuth always entertained a warm
affection for the United States, which
afforded him asylum anil substantial
encouragement in time of need. At his
humble home in Turin he was always
glad to see Americans. When he was
denationalized by the action of Hunga
rian law, which forfeits citizenship to

not rormany ueciare it oerore some Aus
trian official, he received many marks
of sympathy. Nearly 100 cities confer
red honorary citizenship upon him, and
a wave of enthusiasm swept over Hun
gary which gladdened the heart of the
patriot in exile.
Honors to Kossuth.
Turin, March 21. —The municipal
council has offered to provide a suitable
tomb for the burial of Louis Kossuth in
this city, and accompany ths interment
with appropriate honors. The family
of the patriot say they cannot accept
the offer until they have learned the
wishes of the Hungarian party as to
what honors that body is disposed to
pay to Kossuth’s memory.
Wayne MacVeagh, the American am
bassador to Italy, has intimated to the
family of Kossuth that the United
States would be officially represented at
the funeral.
CRUELTY PROVEN.
Th. Elmira Reformatory Has Beeu Shown
Up in a Rad Light,
New York, March 21. —The state
board of charities has sent to the legis
lature its report on the charges made
against General Superintendent Z. R.
Brockway, of the Elmira reformatory.
The board finds:
That the charges and the allegations
of “cruel, brutal, excessive, degrading
and unusual punishment of the inmates”
are proven and most amply sustained.
That in punishing convicts by blows
across the face because, when under
punishment, they turned their heads to
plead for mercy, he is guilty of “need
less cruelty and gross inhumanity;”
that he “permitted and encouraged offi
cers and keepers to strike, kick, beat
and otherwise practice brutality upon
the inmates,” and is therefore guilty of
“permitting, countenancing and encour
aging brutality on the part of officers
and keepers.”
That the committee is convinced that
“the brutality prnctided at the reforma
tory has no parallel in any modern penal
institution in this country;’’ that corpo
ral punishment as practiced at the re
formatory should be prohibited by law;
that the medical supervision of the re
formatory is inadequate, and the ap
pointment as physician of a relative of
a member of the board of managers
should not be tolerated; that the annual
reports of the reformatory show a steady
decrease in the good results obtained,
and “the percentage of reformations
stated in said reports are specious and
unreliable.”
That “the law governing transfers un
der indeterminate sentences has been
turned from its beneficent purpose into
a most terrible engine of oppression."
That the reincarceration of paroled pris
oners should not be permitted without
judicial inquiry; that abuses have
grown up under the system of employ
ing convicts as officers, keepers and
monitors; that the board of managers
should have known of these facts; that
they did not know of them; that they
did suspend the superintendent, at the
request of the governor, when the inves
tigation began, but did so under protest,
and that they reinstated him before the
inquiry was half over, and that they
thus “went out of their way to offer a
wanton insult to the executive” and as
sumed “direct responsibility for Brock
way’s cruelties and inhumanities;” that
the institution is overcrowded, severer
discipline being thereby made necessary,
and licentiousness encouraged.
MARRIED HIS DAUGHTER.
The Discovery of Felix Steiner That Per
hap. Caus.d Hi. Suicide.
London, March 21.—The Standard’s
Buda-Pesth correspondent says: “The
Nemzetu prints the following: Felix
Steiner divorced his wife in 1873. They
had only one child, a 1-year-old daugh
ter. Her name was changed and some
years later she went to New York,where
she fund a situation in a Hungarian
family. She was often sent to a near
by shop, which was owned by Steiner,
Whom she did not know.
“Eventually, after chattinerand court
ing, they were married happily and had
one child. They desired to return to
Hungary and search out their relatione.
They returned to Miskolez. Steiner
made inquiries and was astounded by
the discovery that his second wife was
his own daughter. He wrote that his
wife should return to New York with
the child. Steiner has not been heard of
since, and it is believed that he has com
mitted suicide. His wife is en route to
America, and does not know the facts.
She believes her husband has been de
tained by business.”
LOCHREN ATTACKED.
The CominiMioner Comes Back with Some
Plain Talk.
Washington, March 21.—“ That fel
low is an intolerant, lying bigot,” ex
claimed Commissioner of Pensions Loch
ren when shown a published attack
made on alleged Catholic influence in
the bureau by Rev. Madison C. Peters,
of New York. “1 am not a Catholic, as
he asserts. I am a member of no church,
though for many years when I was at
my home in Minneapolis I attended an
Episcopalian church.
The religious denominations to which
the employes belong are unknown to
me except in possibly two or three in
stances. I understand that one or two
Little Sisters of the poor came to the
bureau on the last- pay day of the
month. There is no solicitation of any
kind. Instead, lam told they stand in
a corner with a basket in one hand, but
do not ask for contributions. There Is
no rule that I know of that prohibits
them from coming.”
An Alliance Warehouse Failed.
Danville, Va., March 21.—The Cen
tral Alliance warehouse, of this city,
has filed a trust deed to secure creditors
to the amount of $5,000. The Central is
a tobacco warehouse for the sale of
loose leaf toba •co, established here
about two years ago by the Alliance men
of the surrounding section.

TOO MANY AXES.
The Tariff Bill Is Subjected to a
Great Strain.
INTERESTS AND TRUSTS.
These Are the Influences That
Conspire to Make Harmoni
ous Action Impossible.
Washington, March 21. —The feeling
of antagonism concerning the tariff is
greater than has heretofore appeared. It
is.quite obvious that in addition to the
interest which men take in securing pro
tection for industries in their localities,
there is a very strong effort being made
to affect the legislation by persons and
combinations whose interests extends
only to the matter of making as much
money out of the legislation as possible.
S • eolation enters into the matter so
deeply that Congressmen who are hon
estly endeavoring to solve the legisla
tive problem are at a loss where to
draw the line of discrimination. It has
become very evident that there will be
a considerable conflict between the i
house and senate over the bill, and it
will not be safe to count on the action of
the senate as to any of the disputed
questions as indicative of what the bill
will finally carry when- sent to the pres
ident.
In the present temper of the house it
appears absolutely impossible that an
agreement to the senate proposition to
tax sugar can be secured, and in the
house, also, there is a positive determi
nation not to permit the abrogation of
the reciprocity treaties which open the
markets of Cuba, Brazil and Germany
to agricultural products. There is also
a very strong disposition in the house to
put coal back on the free list, and the
indications are that they will not agree
to the senate’s duty on that product.
In the Senate.
Washington,, March 21.—There was
very little routine morning business in
the senate, and after it was disposed of
unobjected bills on the calendar were
taken up and a number passed.
The president has sent to the senate
the following nominations:
Postmasters—W. T. Cheatham, Jr.,
Henderson, North Carolina. W. P. An
derson, Palatka, Florida.
Congressional Appropriations.
Washington, March 21. —The total of
appropriations of the present session of
congress will be approximately $370,-
000,000. This will exceed by a few mil
lions the appropriations of the first ses
sion of the last congress and will disap
point those wiio had hoped that the low
condition of the treasury funds would
result in a material reduction in appro
priations.
The President Invited to Virginia.
Washington, March 21.—The Fred
ericksburg, Virginia, city council has
invited President Cleveland and Mrs.
Cleveland, Vice President Stevenson,
Chief Justice Fuller, the members of
the cabinet, Governor O’Ferrall and
their ladies to attend the dedication of
the Mary Washington monument to
take place in that city May 10.
DEMOCRATS CAPITULATE.
The Republicans Carry Things Their Own
Way In New Jersey.
Trenton, March 21.—The Democrats
have almost entirely capitulated. Gov
ernor Wertz gave State Comptroller-
Elect Hancock and State Treasurer-
Elect Swain their commissions as soon
as the decision of the supreme court was
rendered, and they are already in pos
session of their offices.
The Democratic members of the sen
ate will probably join their Republican
colleagues at once. The governor has
filed all bills passed by the legislature
and they are now laws.
The New Jersey Senate Muddle.
Trenton, March 21.—1 n the senato
rial case Chief Justice Beasly decides
that the senate is not a continu
ous body and that Adrian is not entitled
to be president. He says Rogers’ title in
valid. This is a victory for the Repub
licans.
Cabinet Crisis Averted.
Paris, March 21.—The cabinet crisis
which was caused by the fact that the
senate on Saturday refused to take ac
tion on the measure, which had pre
viously passed the chamber of deputies,
creating a special ministry of the colo
nies i nstead of having that department
of the government directed, as has been
the case up to the present, by an under
secretary under the ministry of marine,
has been averted, and Premier Casimir-
Perler is again triumphant.
Th. “Side Door” Bill Killed.
Albany, N. Y., March 21.—The “side
door” bill favored by the assembly com
mittee, but not by the Republican cau
cus, has been killed in the house. It
permitted cities of over 250,000 inhabit
ants to sell liqa >r on Sunday, with the
side doors of their saloons open and the
front doors closed and the blinds drawn.
Quiet Commune Anniveriary in Paris.
Paris, March 21.—Meetings in com
memoration of the commune of Paris,
were held Sunday. There was no dis
order. A large number of persons vis
ited the cemetery of Pere la Chaise.
There was no attempt at an outdoor
demonstration.
Want Cleveland to Veto.
New York, March 21.—The New
York chamber of commerce has unani

Cleveland requesting that he veto the
seigniorage bill.
IN GREAT SHAPE.
The Water From the New
Works Turned On.
A VERY LARGE CROWD
Witnesses the First Appear
ance of Oostanaula Water
on Broad Street.
At last the clear Water of the Oostan
aula runs through the big main on Broad
street.
W ater from the new reservoir was
turned on the city main at 5 o’clock yes
terday and the pressure was tried in the
presence of large crowd. After dividing
the stem into halves and quarters, and
testing the force and volume of the
water in various ways, the water works
committee expressed themselves as well
satisfied, and the crowd manifestedits'
enthusiasm in words of approval.
The preliminary proceedings were
decidedly interesting. The big 16-inch
main was to be filed first to Kane’s
store and two hours later the water was
admitted to upper Broad street. It
was 3 o’clock when Chairman Griffin
of the water works committee under took
to open the valve at the reservoir and let
the water into the main. There were
’but three feet of water in the reservoir
and the pressure on the valve was light,
so that it was not hard to move, but the
rush of big air bubbles from the main
poured into it it produced results so sur
prising and unique that he was almost
thrown from his post. Down went the
water into the big pipe, condensing the
air below it, until the elastic gas reacted
and sent huge bubbles to the surface of
the reservoir. They came with such
force and volume that the water was
lifted five feet above the surface of the
reservoir and fell back on its bosom
with a magnificent cascade. It was
beautiful but startling and for a few sec
onds Mr. Griffin hardly new whether he
was looking i”to a spasmodic geyser or a
water main. After a time the air all
escaped and the main filled up to Kane’s
store.
It was at the latter point that Mayor
King began to officiate. It was under
stood that from upper Broad street he
was to turn the water on the city, and
at 5 o’clock he advanced with a smile,
but with becoming gravity to open the
great gate valve, all unconscious of the
difficulty that was before him. Pois
ing himself a moment in a perfectly
erect attitude, he raised his hat, waved
it in the air, and cried in the stately
formula of the justice coiuii “uh, yes!
oh, yes! The water gate will now he
opened and the city will never go dry!”
At the conclusion of this sentence the
mayor placed his hands on the valve
and essayed to give it a graceful turn.
It would not move. Then he threw his
weight against it. Still it would not
budge. Stepping back a few feet he re
marked:
-'’‘■A-ir-e-m!”"'
Then it dawned onli 'm that it was 20-
inch valve and there was a hydraulic
pressure of six tons on its 200 sqm re
inches. Notwithstanding the powerful
leverage of the screw which operates the
valve, the mayor was unable to move it,
hut Chairman Griffin and City Marshal
Brown came to his aid and opened the
water gate. There was more fun at the
Beuna Vista when Superintendent Wag
ner turned the water into the valve on
the reduced 8-inch main, and a big sheet
of water shot over the trolley wire.
Chief Hanks was on hand with fire
detachments and made connections with
two pings, one connecting with the old
water tank on tower hill and the other
with the new reservoir on Fort Jackson.
There was still a good deal of air in
the new main and it made a ragged
stream, but in the course of an hour
most of that had disappeared and the
heavier pressure showed plainly in both
the volume and the force with which
the water was ejected from the nozzle.
Two IJ4 pipes were attached to the hose
on the new main and one to the hose on -
the old main. It was found that the
water was thrown a few feet farther by
the new main, and in more than twice
the volume. Superintendent Wagner
estimated that the new main was deliv
ering 500 gallons a minute through two
nozzles, while the old was delivering 200
gallons through one. Another test was
made by putting a Siamese coupling on
each hose and throwing two streams
from the old and two from the new res
ervoir. Here the difference was plainly
apparent. The water from Fort Jack
son fell 150 feet from the nozzle while
that from Tower Hill only went 106
feet. Then the water from the new jnain
was divided into four streams, and
strange to say it went six feet farther
than when there were two. The farther
drops fell 156 feet from the nozzle. Mr.
Wagner "says that by the hydraulic
formula, the pressure at that plug will
carry 165 feet from the nozzle. The
actual result was nine feet short and
wfts due to the fact that the reservoir
was only partially full, whereas the
pressure was estimated from a full reser
voir. Mr. Wagner says the actual result
will reach the 165 feet.
All this was done with gravity pressure,
and with only feet of water in the
reservoir, which is nine feet less than
when it is full. By cutting off the
reservoir and pumping to the city di
rect from the river, a pressure of 150
pounds can be maintained, and this Mr.
Wagner says, will throw a stream of
water over the court house tower, or
put out a fire on’the old Jo .ver above the
city clock.
The pumps lift 2,000 gallons a minute,
or enough to keep twenty streams run
ning. It is proposed to open all
the hydrants of the lower city after
awhile and rinse them with Oostanaula
water.

TILLMAN INTERVIEWED.
South Carolina’s Governor Talks to a
Washington Correspondent. t
Washington, March 21.—Governor
Tillman, who has been here on import
ant business connected with the South
Carolina dispensary affairs let himself
out, a little, on politics in the Palmetto
state, before leaving the city.
He was asked if the report was true
that he would be a candidate tor the
United States senate against Senator
Butler.
“Most assuredly I shall,” he replied.
“I shall not be a candidate for renomi
nation or re-election as governor of the
State. Whether there will be other can
didates besides General Butler and my
self I cannot say. Politics are so uncer
tain that it is difficult at this stage of
the contest to say if there will be other
aspirants.”
“Do you anticipate a lively cam
paign?” ,
“All campaigns in South Carolina are
lively, and I assume that the next one
will be no exception to the rule. The
primaries for election of members of the
legislature, which will elect the senator,
will be held in August. The chief con
test will occur, I suppose, at the prima
ries. General Butler and myself not
only reside in the same county, but in
the same township, and there will no
doubt be a spirited contest by each of
us to carry our county. It will not be a
mud slinging campaign. General But
ler has declared his aversion to such a
procedure, but if he or his friends throw
mud at me I guess I can find some to
throw back.”
“Do you expect any bloodshed, aa has
been intimated?’’
“Not at all. There is no necessity for
We are getting along pretty well
down in our state without It, and I see
no reason why our amicable relations
should not continue. I am not, how
ever, to be intimidated or bulldozed by
-;;•• thrift’’- T went through a cam
paign of that character When I FT tW
elected governor and eecanod, “"V.vlcn
standing numerous threats,”
“How is your state dispensary system
succeeding?”
“Very well, indeed. Thus far the
state has derived about $106,000 and the
several counties about $75,000. It is a
magnificent plan and is bound to suc
ceed in every respect. I wish you to
understand that all of our contests in
South Carolina are conducted strictly
within the lines of the Democratic party
and that we do. not solicit any Repub
lican or Populist aid or any aid from the
federal government.”
AFTER ROSEBERRY.
Peers Have No Kight to Interfere in the
Elections of Commoners.
London, March 21.—Lord Randolph
Churchill created a laugh among Lib
eral and Irish members of the house of
commons by ajnotion that Lord Rose
berry had infringed upon the house of
commons as embodied in the sessional
order that no peer shall concern himself
in the election of a member of the house
of commons.
Lord Randolph said that the earl of
Rosebery had spoken in Edinburgh Sat
urday night on the eve of the Leith elec
tion, in defiance of the sessional order,
and doubtless with a view of influencing
the electors. Knowing the nearness of
the election in Leith, Lord Rosebery
should have postponed the Edinburgh
meeting if he had desired to respect the
privilege of the house.
Sir William Harcourt congratulated
the Unionists upon having chosen such
*a field in which to make their first at
tack upon the government in force. He
had no interest in maintaining the right
of peers to interfere in elections; but he
could show some hundred peers who
constantly interfered in such matters.
He regarded Lord Randolph’s motion as
trumpery, and the whole proceeding as
petty and contemptible. (Cheers.) Ho
therefore moved an amendment that the
house proceed with the order of the day.
Lord Randolph Churchill said he had
no desire to press his motion to a di
division, and Sir William Harcourt’s
amendment was carried.

THE FIGHT IS ON.
The Debate Between Evansand
Atkinson
AT GRIFFIN YESTERDAY.
Both Sides Satisfied With the
Efforts of Their Champion.
Athens Next.
Atlanta, March 21. —(Special)—The
first joint debate of the gubernatorial
campaign has occurred and the friends
of both Evans and ' Atkinson declare
that they are thoroughly satisfied with
the result of the engagement. Atkin
son had the largest part of the crowd.
His friends came down from Newnan
and up from Pike and Meriwether and
he was in clover. About 100 Evans men
went down from Atlanta but they were
outnumbered. It is said that there were
more Newnan people in Griffin today
than in Newnan.
Atkinson opened the speaking with a
clear cut speech, plumbing the Chicago
platform, according to the general Geor
gia interpretation, declaring for free
and unlimited coinage of both metals.
In his wind-up on the opening talk, he
had something to say about his record
on the soldiers’ home and in the legisla -
ture generally. It was a pretty strong
talk for the gentleman himself but his
friends would call it a modest presenta
tion of his public career.
General Evans spoke on just about the
same line in regard to the Chicago plat
form.'He expounded the democratic doc
trine in a lucid and strong speech. He
had something to say,of course, in reply
to Mr. Atkinson’s charge that he had
done nothing for the party and nothing
in particular to entitle him to any of
the honors of the party. General Evans
had some fun at Mr. Atkinson’s expense,
stating that the candidate from Coweta
seemed to be laboring under the impress
ion that there was only one man in Geor
gia for the people to support. The Gen
eral claimed 100 counties were for him.
Mr. Atkinson had the wind-up and
closed the debate in a very clever man
ner for his own side. Both men were
heartily cheered during their speeches.
Both made some good hits at the ex
pense of the other. The General proved
himself a fighter and was ready to go in
to personalities in a legitimate jjJ
was somewhat at a flis^vantage 'as his
' opponent had the closing.
Friends of both candidates profess to
be fully satisfied, as remarked above.
The Evans men are glad to find that
their man is nimble in debate and can
hold his own with a skilled and expe
rienced stumper like Col.
Both meh having had a taste of blood
are eager to meet, again. They come
. together Friday at Athens, which is
said to be an Evans stronghold.
AND NOW FOR ROME.
General Evans will arrive in the city
Saturday afternoon the 24th inst.at 6:22
o’clock. He will be met at Kingston by
a committee form the Evans club, and
a host of personal friends. The party
will leave the city in a special coach
which has kindly been tendered them
by the Rome railroad. On the arrival
of General Evans he will be escorted to
the residence of Col. Chas. I. "Graves,
where he will stop during his stay in
the city.
In the evening he will hold a reception
at the Armstrong hotel, where he will
receive his friends and admirers.
The exeucutive committee of the Ev
ans club met yesterday afternoon in
Judge Meyerhardt’s office at the court
house. Another meeting has been called
for this afternoon to complete arrange
ments for the debate.
NOT HOPELESS. "ZZ
Tli« Case of Senator Colquitt— He II Sori
uusly Sick, However.
Washington, March 21. —Senator Col
quitt passed a comfortable night, but it
is said by a member of his family that
his condition is about the same. The
present attack is said to be the result of
the progress of paralysis, from which he
has suffered for a long time, rather than
from any recent attack. His throat is
bo completely affected as to prevent him
from articulating, and he takes liquid
nourishment that is given him with
great difficulty.
