Vienna, Feb. 20.

It is believed that the Austrian Government, fol. lowing strong representa- tions by Britain, is relaxing its drive against refugee Socialists concerned in the recent disturbances.

Dr. Dullfuss announced this evening that martial law in Aus- trla will be totally raised at seven o'clock to-morrow morning (Wednesday) and the announce- ment is presumed to denote that the Government will grant n re- prlove to all who, have not yet been arrested or not yet executed.

Several of the leading members of the Government including Dr. Dollfusa, Major Fey and Dr. Schmita, the new City Com- missar, were present this after- noon at the Rathausplatz when the funeral, took place of forty- nino members of the Government forces who died in the disturb. ances last week.

The ceremony was performed by Cardinal Innitzer, who paid

a warm tribute to the dead.
