They Force Their Way Into the So-
cialist Labor Congress. .

DOORKEEPERS THRUST ASIDE

A Vote of Exclusion Disregarded—Herr
Singer, the Chairman, Had Work to
Restore a Semblance of Order.

A Tumuituous Gathering.

LONDON, July 29. —‘The international
socialist and trades union congress resumed
its sessions today at St. Martin’s Town
hall, with Herr Singer, the well known
German Socialist and member of the reichs-
tag, presiding. The credentials of all the
delegates who presented themselves for ad-
mission were closely scrutinized at the
door and several of them Were refused ad-
mission -to the ball. This led to a series of
tumults, during which the doorkeepers
were kept busy and much excitement
prevailed. The galleries where the disturb-
ances started yesterday were closed today
in order to prevent a repetition of the dis-
orderly scenes enacted when the congress
opened.

Herr Singer, in calling the congress to
order, said it was not desired to call upon
the authorities to station a strong three of
police outside the hall, but stewards had
been appointed instead to keep order in
the building, and it was h ed that these
precautions would be sumo ant and that
there would be no more disorder.

The discussion of the question of the ad-
mission of anarchists to the ball was then
resumed and the English section, which
controlled the preliminary business today.
decided by a vote of 223 to 104 to exclude
anarchists. Orders were then issued for
the doorkeepers not to admit them. This
action no sooner became known to the
anarchists outside than they became furi-
ous 'with rage and assembled just before
11:30 a. m. in a threatening body in front
of the hall. There they were addressed by
their leaders, whose words so excited the
crowd that they made a combined rush for
thedoors, forced them backward, over-
turned the doorkeepers and poured into
the galleries in spite of all opposition.

More Exciting Scenes

This caused a repetition of the exciting
scenes of yesterday. The delegates on the
floor of the hall rose in a body and there
were shouts and yells, mingled with
threats, from various sections. For awhile
the hall was a bear garden. About a bun-
dred delegates tried in vain to attract the
attention of the chair, while Herr Singer
did his utmost to quell the storm.

In these eficrts the German raicbstager
was more successful than the Northum-
berland miner Cowey yesterday. He
showed more parliamentary skill, and
eventually succeeded in restoring some-
thing like order among the delegates, and
than Tom Mann and Keir Hardie were in
turn recognized. Both the English labor
leaders spoke in favor of admitting at
least Herr Hyndman. Their remarks
were wildly applauded by those of the an-
archists who understood them. and those
who did not understand English, taking
the cue from their fellow anarchists, ap-
plauded the Englishmen. Other English
labor loaders made speeches against admit-
ting the anarchists This brought forth a
storm of disapproval from the latter, dur-
ing which a few blows and many angry
words were exchanged among the foreign-
ers, who could hardly be prevented by the
more peaceful element from engaging in a
general free fight. Eventually orders were
given to put out the disturbers of the
peace, and when some show of doing so
was made something like order was re-
stored, and the debate was resumed amid
much excitement among the anarchists.

After further speeches for and against
the admission of anarchists it was agreed
that properly accredited anarchists, in-
cluding Louise Michel, the French petro-
leuse, should be permitted to be present at
the debate, and after several hours of ad-
ditional discussion the congress, voting
by «nationalities, upheld the Zurich resolu-
tion by 18% to 2%, the eflect of which is
to exclude anarchists from the congress.

During the voting there was another
scene of the greatest excitement. Fierce
shouting and yelling mingled with scuf-
fling and threatening prevailed among the
foreigners and probably served as much as
anything else to harden the bears of the
Englishmen against admitting the anarch-
istio element.

Robbery of a Mail Stage In Oklahoma.

WICHITA, Kan., July 29. —-In a lonely
.guich near the village of Lacey, O. T., the
regular mail stage was held up by a band
of outlaws, who rifled the express and
mail sacks, taking all the registered let-
ters and all the valuables carried by the
two passengers in the coach. There is lit-
tle doubt that the robbery was the work
of the reorganized gang of Bill Doglin,
the condemned murderer and outlaw, who
escaped from jail at Guthrie.

PII‘TEEN MEN DBOWNED. g

A Miners' Boarding Bongo Washed Away
In Western Pennsylvania.

PITTSBURG, July 29.—During the big
strom a boarding house near Cecil, Wash-
ington county, mu washed away, and the
occupants, 15 coal miners, were drowned.

The men were all foreigners, and their
names could not be learned. They Were
employed in the coal mines of W. P. Bend
at McDonald, Pa. The house stood on the
banks of Painter’s run, and at an early
hour today the water rose rapidly and
swept the structure from its foundations,
carrying it down the stream. There were
16 men in the house, sleeping, and as far
as known only one escaped with his life.
Five bodies have been recovered, and it is
believed the ten who are still missing were
also drowned.

The full extent of the damage wrought
by last night’s hurricane was seen when
wreck and ruin ware apparent on all sides.

Steeples were blown from churches and
adjoining buildings crushed, houses Were
unroofed, trees broken and in some cases
torn up by the roots, while the havoc
caused by the heavy rain all of last week
was repeated. Property was damaged to
the extent of $100,000. ,

Jacob Afi‘elter, aged 35, 17 Forward
avenue, was instantly killed on Greenfield
avenue bya falling fence, and John Figus,
aged 22, had his skull crushed by a falling
tree at Sugar Camp grove.

In Allegheny 11 people were struck by
lightning. They are in the hospital and in
a critical condition.

Their nam _ are: Abner Hays, freight
receiver of t Fort Wayne railroad; A.
M. Bennett and three children, August
Snedtz his wife and their four children.

Mr. Hays was standing in the freight-
house door when a boltof lightning struck
the building, knocking him unconscious.

Mr. Bennett and his children were stand-
ing on their porch on St. Clair terrace
when a flash was conducted from a trolley
wire in front of the house to the porch,
prostrating the entire party. The Snedtz
family were eating supper, when lightning
struck the residence, following the chim-
ney flue to the dining room“,

About half anhour later a neighbor dis-
covered the whole family lying on .the floor
in an unconscious condition. They may
recover, but it is doubtful.

The roof of the John Wesley chapel, A.
M. E., was torn away and carried 200 feet.
The Pittsbnrg High school and Holy Ghost
college sufiered somewhat, but are not
badly damaged.

SIOUX CITY, Ia., July 28. —-Full reports
received today of yesterday’s storm show
that the loss is inestimable over northeast-
ern Nebraska and southwestern South Da-

ow, Eigin and Preston townships sus-
tained the greatest loss. Roofs were beaten
through by the force of the bail. Consid-
arable stock was killed and the ground is
literally strewed with dead hogs and poul-
try. The heaviest loss was to corn, which
was completely beaten to pieces;

JAMESON’S LIGHT SENTENCE.

The Freebooter Gets Filteen Months’ In:
prisonment Without Labor. "

LONDON, July 29.—-Bo{ore the lord chief
justice, Baron Russell of Killowan,’ Baron
Pollock and Justice Hawkins, in the
queen’s bench division of the high court
ofjustlce, today the trial of Dr. Jameson,
Major Sir John Willougbby, Colonel B.
Gray, Colonel H. F. White, Major R.
White and Captain Henry F. Coventry,
charged with violation of the neutrality
lawa in invading the territory of the South
African Republic, was resumed. The
court was packed with people in anticipa-
tion of the conclusion of this celebrated
case. Counsel for the defendants, headed
by Sir Edward Clarke and Sir Frank
Lockwood, and counsel for the crown,
represented by the attorney general, Sir
Richard Webster, concluded their argu-
ments' yesterday. Today the chief justice
be an his summing up.

ord Russell’s remarks were distinctly
hostile to the defendants. He began by
pointing out that none of the essential
facts in the case against the prisoners had

been contested, and that there was no
doubt in regard to their having taken part
in or abetted the proceedings at Pltsani
and Maieking, where the invading forces
were mustered preparatory to entering the
Transdaai. It was entirely unimportant
in his opinion whether the foreign enlist-
ment act was in force. There was no
doubt, he said, that the expedition was of
a military character, and whether it was
aimed to overthrow the Transvaal govern-
ment or to force a change in the laws of
that republic in the interests of others it
{wasegually an expedition against a friend-
y e.

' he jury rendered a verdict of guilty
against all the defendants. Dr. Jameson
was then sentenced to 15 months’ impris-
onment without labor, Major Sir John
Wiiiou'gbby to ten mont‘ws’ imprisonment,
Major R. White to seven, and Captain
Henry F. Coventry, Colonel B. Gray and
Colonel H. F.- Wblte were sentenced to
five months’ imprisonment each.

PIELDING UPHELD.’

'Privy Council Decides, a Case Involving
Powers of Provincial Assembly.

LONDov, July 29.—-The judicial com-
mittee of the privy council has handed
down 17.5 decision in the case of Fielding
against 'i'homas, which was heard on July
26,1895, which was an appeal from Nova
Scdtia raising the question of the legality
of the arrest and committal to jail of the
respondent by order of the houses! as-
sembly of Now Scotia for contempt. ‘ The
respondent was a member of the assembly.
The privy council allows the appeal, re-
verses the decision of the? Nova Scotian
courts and orders the respondent to pay
the costs.

When the case was argued on appeal;
counsel'for the appellants contended that
the colonial legislature was empowered by
the imperial statute to make laws respect-
ing its own powers and constitution, and

that the provisions of the Nova Scotia

statue under which the assembly acted in
this .matter were not ultra Vitae of the
legislature. The house, he deg-lared, had
the right to pass laws enablingft to com-
mit and punish for contempt and to pro-
vide for the indemnity of its members
against civil actions and other proceedings
for acts done in the house. The provincial
legislature, he contended, had all the priv-
ileges, immunities and powers ofthe Brit-
ish house of commons and the Dominion
parliament. ’

Counsel for respondent argued that his
client had not committed any breach of
privilege in regard to the petition. He had
not been guilty of contempt in declining
to present himself for aformal reprimand.
The house did not have the power to order
his arrest or committal in such a case. It
was equally incapable of enacting a pro-
vision to indemnify its members if they
punished anybody illegally.

 

A Barren Victory For New York City.

NEW YORK, July 29.—The appellate di-
vision of the supreme court by a decision

proved the plans on the ground of the ex-
pense.
