I Judas, and Then the Fun Began.
' Lennon, July 28.-—By the government
progam 10 o‘clock last night was the hour
set for the closure of the debate in com-
mittee ”on the home rule bill. The parts
’ of the bilileft over for the discussions of
the last week and for the divisions last
evening were the new financial clauses,
the schedules and the preamble.
The proceedings early in the evening
were tame enough. John Clancy, Par-
nellit'e» for North Dublin, connty,.moved
an amendment to the effect that the im-
perial government should guarantee ._ to
Irela'nd 82,500,000 annually during the
provisional period of six years.
Mr. Gladstone declined to accept the
amendment. The financial scheme under
discussion, he said, provided fully for the
equitable, even ..iiberal treatment of the
new Irish government.
Fifteen minutes before the closure was to
be applied Joseph Chamberlain rose to de-
liver the final;broadside of the opposition.
After a few scornful and biting words as
to the conduct of the ministers, he began
giving his opinion of the ciosureas applied
by the government. The members, he said,
were about to witness the last scene in a
discreditable farce. ' The debate on the
financial clauses had‘ been a mere sham.
The government had stood over friend and
foe alike, ready to let fail the guillotine
without regard for justice or constitu~
tionai rights. Jeers from the Irish, cheers
from the ionists and counter cheers
from the erals interrupted Mr. Cham-
berlan. He Waited two or three minutes
before the confusion abated sufficiently for
him to speak‘without effort. He then pro«
ceeded thus:
“The prime minister calls ‘black’ and
his adherents say it is good. The prime
minister calls ‘white’ and they say it is
better. It is always the voice of God.
Never, since the time of Herod, has there
been such —”
Mr. Chamberlain got no further. Imme-
diately after resuming his speech he had
been warned by. mutterings from the Irish
benches that a storm was gathering. He
could hardly have expected the sudden-
.ness with which it broke, for with his half
finished reference to Herod there came
from the Nationalists such a roar of indig-
nation as had not been heard in the house
since the days of Parnell.
. Mr. Chamberlain plainly was startled,
but he tried to talk on. His voice was in-
. {audible lo the members on the next bench.
iHe turned towards the Nationalists, and
lshrill yells of execration sounded above
ithe uproar. T. P. O’Connor sprang to his
feet and,- leani towards Mr. Chamber
:iain, shouted "Jldas" so loudly that the
epithet could ' be heard throughout the
, house.
g The rest of the Irishmen took up the
cry, and forhaif aminute shouted “Judas"
gin chorus. Meantime the clock struck 10.
iChaiI‘man Mellor tried to put the closure,
but his voice could not be heard amid the
shputs of the Irish and Unionists. .Then
came a scene unprecedented in parliamen-
tary history.
. Mr. Mellor gave the customary direc-
tions to clear the house for a division. As
.the'disorder subsided preparations were
made to execute these directions. The
Conservatives, however. flatly refused to
quit the house, shouting to the chairman
that he must first call Mr. O’Connor to
order for having called Mr. Chamberlain
names. '
. Mr. Mellor protested that he had not
heard the epithets in question. Nobody
told him what Mr. O’Connor had said, so
lhe sat helpless and unenlightened before
the house, while the members crowded
forward in excited groups, shaking their
fists and shouting their demands. '
Messrs. Gibbs, Bowles and Hanbury got
together, and to make themselves heard,
shouted in chorus at Mr. Mellor:
“Will you direct that those words be
taken down?”
Lord Randolph Churchill and Sir Ed-
ward Clarke got hold of Mr. Gibbs and
started him for the front bench that he
might elucidate the cause Of the row to
Mr. Mellor, who was making strenuous
,but vain efforts to learn what the griev-
ance of the Tory trio was. Mr. Gibbs tried
to go forward, but in the general jostling
and shouting he was so pushed about and

confused that he gave up his purpose, and I t" f "19 meats,
Mr. Mellor remained uninformed.

1"‘“Gag-',’Z- “Gag.” 5 Others were struggling
in the aisles or between the benches with
Radical, Liberal or Irish antagonists..
Curses, veils of pain and grosseinsults
Liberal, ran down to the first opposition
bench and began upraiding Edward Car-
son, a Tory. As he shook his fist under
Mr. Carson’s nose George Wyndham and
William Fisher jumped to' the assistance
of their party colleague, seized Mr. Logan
by the neck, threw him to the floor head
first, and then bundled him under a bench.
Somebody smashed Tim Heaiy’s high hat
over his eyes. Healy tore off the hat and
sprang into 'the aisle in- full fighting post-
ure, just as Mr.- Hanbury, still shouting
that the chairman must‘name Mr. O’Con-
nor, was trying to get by.
Mr. Hanbury was knocked OVer a bench
by the force of the collision before Mr.
Healy got in a blow. A free fight then
broke out at the top of the gangivay. The
center of it was William Redmond, Par-
nellite, who had taken advantage of the
general license to push cz'cr Colonel Saun
derson, the champion of the men of U1-
ster. Saunderson was rescued and led an
struck right and left. .
Members fell and were picked up by
their friends to fight again. The whole
space between the front benches was filled
with a struggling cursing mass of mem-
bers, striking, clawing and upsetting each
other. Manfu‘i efiorts were made to sepa-
rate the”c'ombat'ants. Both sergeants-at-
arms forced their way through the thick
of the fight, but as fast as one group was
pacified another came to blows.
Eventually Mr. Gladstone begged Ed-'
ward Marjoribanks, a sturdy Liberal, to
do something'to stop the fighting. Mr.
Marjoribanks (lug his way through the
tangled mass of belligerent-s, and by re
peated appeals in the name of the premier
succeeded in stemming the conflict. Col-
onel Saunderson emerged first from the
crowd of fighters. He was holdings bunch
of keys to his black eye. Others followed
in more or less damaged condition.
Just as peace was assured the door lead-
ing to the lobby opened and Dr. Tanner,
who had been outside and had heard of the
fight but a minute before, came down the
house, leaping over benches in his haste to
get into the males. The sergeant-at-arms
caught him half way from the door to the
first bench and restrained him until he
consented to keep the peace..
Chairman Mellor reported to the speaker
the scene that had just transpired. assert—
ing that he had not heard the approbrious
epithet. Unionists claimed that this
caused the row, while the Irish members
asserted that it was brought about by the
refusal of the members to enter the lob—
bies for division. I
After listening to different members the
speaker urged Mr. O’Connor to withdraw.
Amid Conservative cries of “withdraw”
Mr. O’Connor humbly apologized to the
speaker “if any words of his had contrib-
uted to bring about this most regrettable
apology was ample and that the house
could expect no more.
Then Colonel Saunderson rose to tell
how Eugene Crean, anti-Parneliite, had
blackened his eye, but he was booted
down. The increasing confusion threat-
ened a renewal of the riot. The'speaker
requested the member to let the subject
drop, as it was futile to go back to the dis-
agreeable ‘iIhidents of the disturbance.
Mr. Mellor then resumed the chair. The
fifteenth and sixteenth financial clauses
were-postponedrwhile the rest‘ of the
schedules were adopted. '
When the committee rose and Chairman
Mellor reported to Speaker Peel the home
rule bill, as amended in committee, cheer
after cheer was given and all hats were
waved for Mr. Gladstone by the Liberals
and Irish, who were answered by the
Unionists with counter cheers. The re-
port stage was flxed for Aug. 7.‘

Terrible Explosion of Nitro-Giycerine
Near Sampie’s Station.
PITTSBURG, July 2S.——M. S. Vanburen
and two brothers went to their magazine,
near Sample’s station, on the Pittsburg
and Western railway, to get a load of ni-
tro—glycerine for the purpose of shooting
an oil well. The dangerous fluid was
being transferred to a wagon to which
three horses were attached. A considera~
bie quantity had been placed on the
wagon, when in some manner, which will
probably never be explained, the glycerine
exploded. The terrific concussion shook
the surrounding buildings violently. Peo-
ple near the scene were thrown about in
every direction. The only portion of Van-
buren’s body yet found is part of a leg.
Small shreds of flesh were scattered all
about. The three horses were also blown

What Aluminium Is.
There are many misconceptions about
aluminium that are widespread and
which it .seems difficult to correct in
the public mind. Aluminium is not,
section for section, a very strong metal.
It is only one-half as strong as wrought
iron. It has a very low elastic limit. It
is not rigid, but bends under a trans-
verse strain readily. It is in its alloys
that its utility commences to appear.
With 8 to 12 per cent of copper or alu-
minium bronze we have one of the moat
dense, finest grained and strongest met-
als known.—-New York Telegram.

Canary birds are Often covered
vermin. They may be relieved of them
by placing a. clean white cloth over their
cage at night. In the morning the cloth
will be covered with minute red spots,
so small that they can hardly be seen
with the naked eye. These are the para-
sites, a source of great annoyance to the
birds—Philadelphia Press.

ANO'I'HER CHICAGO MYSTERY.
looks as Though a Fair Visitor nae Boon
Mnrdercdr for Money.
CHICAGO, July 28.-'4'he dead body of a
man found on the lake shore gave color at
first to the belief that it was a singular
case of suicide. A partly filled can of pow-
der by his side and the torn and mangled
face indicated that the man had filled his
mouth with powder and then probably
with a lighted match had caused it to ex-
plode. In his pocket was found a note say-
ing: “My name is W'. H. Irving. of Win-
throp Beach. Mass. In case of accident or
serious illness, notify Mrs. \V. H. Irving
at the above address. Do not send my
body home, as my wife has no money to
bury it. Don’t bury nieina pauper‘s'grave.
I have been tired Of life for the last two
years, but have lived for my baby’s sake.
I have no work and am out of money. This
world is but a stage, and the curtain has
rung down upon one of its main scenes.”
The clothes are such as a man with
good taste and plenty of money would
wear. The linen, too, bore out the im—
pression that the man had not been in des-
titute circumstances. All expensive straw
hat found near the body, and marked with
some unintelligible initials, makes it seem
more mysterious. .
“I think,” said a detective, “that in-
stead of an extraordinary suicide we are
confronted by a very mysterious case of
murder. That can of gunpowder is simi—
lar to thousands of others that the Da-
pout company make, but we have notbeen
able to learn at the places at which Igune
powder is sold who purchascd'it or any
record of the sale. No one heard a report,
and certainly the explosion 'of such an
amount of confined powder would have
created considerable of a report. No one
saw the man go to the spot. Furthermore.
there were many footprints in the vicinity
of the body, evidently made by more than
one person, and they could not have been
very old. ”
