Count Hedervary Has Audience With Emperor Francis Joseph. THE HUNGARIAN CRISIS IMINENT A Total of Four Vacant Cabinet Positions and One Secretaryshly Now at the Disposal el ilr. Balfour. Vienna, Special.?Count Hedervary, who placed his resignation as Hungarian Premier in the hands of Emperor Francis Joseph, some time ago, had audiencies with the Emperor, which, it is reported, have led to the solution of the Hungarian cabinet crisis, and a ministry will be formed either by Count Julius Audrassy or M. Kolomna S. Zell. Should this news be confirmed it will be due to the correct and patriotic attitude of Francis Kossuth and his party. Kossuth declared resolutely against anything in the shape of a resolution and even forbade any street demonstration on the anniversary of his father's birthday. It is understood that the official communication explaining away the unfavorable construction placed in Hungary on the army order issued by the Emperor, September 17, will be issued in the form of an imperial autograph rescript addressed to Count Hedervary and this proof that the Em- 1 peror did not desire to ruffle Hungarian susceptibilities will be emphasized by another imperial visit to Buda-Pesth as an indication .of his continued confidence and good will.

Immediately after the shooting the White brothers set out for Salisbury, driving at high speed, with the intention of surrendering themselves to the sheriff. %County Commissioner Joseph Hall and several other citizens of the vicinity started out in pursuit, but learning the purpose of the brothers on coming within signaling distance, they accompanied them to the end of their journey.

My God! What shall I do? Please come at once." These ?entltmen, being the uncles and nearest male protectors of Miss White, their dead brother's daughter, hired a team in Concord and drove to the home of Mrs. Archer, where they spent the night. They found Mrs. Archer and Miss White in great distress. This morning, shortly after 6 o'clock, they went to the home of Mr. Sherrill, who had seduced their niece under promise Df marriage, and afterwards refused to marry her, and conversed with him on the porch. They asked him to keep his promise of marriage and he answered that he would die first They still lnlisted that he marry her, and he started towards Mr. Chalmers White in a threatening attitude. Both the brotusrs retreated to the end of the porch and told him to sit down and reason about the matter; that all they asked was that he marry Miss White. Sherrill continued to advance in striking attitude and both the brothers fired." River Steamer Burned.

Qov. flurphy Acc.-pts the nonumeat for the State and the President Accepts It on Behalf of the hcderal Qovernment. Sharpsburg, Md.f Special.?Under lowering skies, the magnificent monument erected on the historic battleheld of Antietam by the grateful State of New Jersey to its men who fell in the great engagement, was dedicated Thursday. Une occasion was rendered particularly uovaoie by uie par- , ticipation in the ce.emouies of cne President of the United States and of Governor Murphy, the Chief Executive of the State which was honoring its heroes. The monument is in the form of an ornate Corinthian column of granite, 10 feet high, surmounted by a ae.oic jgure in bronze of an officer witu upraised sword leading his men m a charge. Governor Murpay, of New Jersey, accepted the monument m an address. President Roosevelt, as he arose to accept the monument on behaif of the Federal government, was accorded an ovation. He spoke in part as follows: UOveruur iuuryu;, ojliu }vu. vv^ucrtauo of New Jersey; and you, men of the Grand Army, and all others here. I greet you: I'thank you of New Jersey for the monument to the troops of New Jersey who fought at Antletam, and on behalf of the nation I accept the gift. We meet upon one of the great battlefields of the civil war. No other battle of the civil war lasting but one day shows as great a percentage of loss as that which occurred here upon the day on which Antietam was fought Moreover, in its ultimate ef- * fects this battle wa* of momentous and even decisive importance, for when it had ended and Lee had retreated south of the Potomac, Lincoln forthwith published that immortal paper, the preliminary declaration of emancipation; the paper which decided that the civil war, besides being a war for the preservation of the Union, should be a war for the emancipation of the slave, so that from that time onward the cause of Union and of freedom, of national erontnpea an/i individual liberty, were one and the same. Men of New Jersey, I congratulate your State because she ha3 the right to claim her full share in the honor and glory of that memorable day; and I congratulate you. Governor Murphy, because on that day you had the high good fortune to serve as a lad with credit and honor In one of the five regiments which your State sent to the battle. Four of those regiments, by the way, served in the division commanded by that gallant soldier, Henry W. Sloe urn, whom wje of New York can claim as our own.'The other regiment, that in which Governor Murphy served, although practically an entirely new regiment, did work as good as that of any veteran organization upon the field, and suffered a proportionate loss. This regiment was at one time ordered to the support of a division commanded by another New York soldier, the gallant General Greene, wnose son uimseu served as a major-general In the war with Spain and who is now a3 police . commissioner of New York, rendering as signal service in civil life as he had already rendered in military life. If the issue of Antietam had been other than it was, it is probable that at least two great European powers would have recognized the indepen-. dence of the Confederacy; so that you who fought here forty-one years ago have the profound satisfaction of feeling that you played well your part in one of those crises big with the fete of all mankind. You men of the Grand Army by your victory not only rendered all Americans your debtors forevermore, but you rendered all humanity your debtors. If the Uniorfhad been dissolved, if the great edifice built with blood and sweat and tears by mighty Washington and his compeers had gone down in wreck and ruin, the result would have been an incalculable calamity, not only for our people?and most of all for those who. in such event would have seemingly triumphed?but for all mankind. The great American republic would have become a memory of derision; and the failure of the experiment of self-government by a great peonle on a ereat scale would have delighted the heart of every foe of republican institutions. Our country, now so great and so wonderful, would have been split into little jangling rivai nationalities, each with a history both bloody and contemptible. It was because you, the men who wear the button of the Grand Army, triumphed in those dark years that every American now holds his head high, proud in the knowledge that he belongs to a nation whose glorious past and great present will be succeeded by an even mightier future; whereas had you failed we would all of us. North and South. East and West, be now treated by other nations at the best with contemptuous tolerance; at the worst with overbearing insolence. > The Dresident then argued thai the need of the world's liberty and progress demanded that the federal armies should win the fight.
