MINOR DISPATCHES,

New YORK, June 11.-O'Donovan Rosa
denies all knowledge of the two men arrest
ed in Liverpool for attempting to blow up
the town hall, and says that the undertaking
was nat instigated by the Fenian Brother
hood in America or he would have known
all about it; but, he says, he is sure the plot
grew out of the same spirit that animated
the organization, OF which he is member
Rosa is editor of the United Irishman, and
he says the books of that paper show the
name of McKevitt, of Liverpool, as one its
agents, and he is of the opinion that what
ever document referring to him was found
on McKevitt when arrested was connected
solely with the business of his newspaper.

in the question whether the existing

to elect a person to represent the
State in the Senate of the United

June, 1883, cannot elect a Senator
for the full term of six years, begin

the refusal of the present leg,

for that term would be violation of
the Constitutional right of tue State
to be represented by two Senators,

Destructive Storm in Kansas.

ABILINE, KAs., June IA storm
accompanied by rain and hail struck
Solomon Valley Thursday evening
at 5 o'clock, at Beloit. A great deal
of glass was broken out of windows.
but the fury of the cyclone was
greatest at Solomon City. where
nearly all the glass was broken from
the north windows, and number of
houses destroyed, but no lives lost
Four miles west Dennis Morgan and
his were instantly killed, and their
house totally destroyed. At Ben
nington, on the valley road, II
miles northwest of Salon City, far
mer named rockingham, his wife
and hired hand were killed, and the
house was completely demolished.
In the same vicinity three stone
farm houses were blown down, but
the inmates were in cellars, and es-
capped without serious injury. A
large number of houses and barns
along the valley between Solomon
City and Minneapolis, for distance
of two miles or more, have blown
! down. but further loss of life is not
reported.
Sr. Louis, Mo, June 11.-Addi-
tionrl particulars of the tornado in
Kansas night before last are that the
storm extented into Lynn county
and did great damage to crops,
buildings, fences, &c, all over that
part of the country. The town of
Americus, near Empocia, is almost
entirely des royed, every building in
it being more or less damaged. The
Uuited Presbyterian Church was
l terally torn to pieces, and the
Methodist Church was blown from
it's foundation and almost to-
tally destroyed. Several houses in
Emporia were blown down, and
f,nces and @ her property seriously
injured. fhe north and east addi =
tiors to the State Normal School were
un, 90 ed and the walls partly torn
down. Wheat, just ready for Ear~
vest, end oCber crops, everywhere in
the track Of the storm, were either
blown away or beaten into the
ground by hail, an immense quantity
of which fell during the storm.
Southwest Missouri seems to have
been visited by the same storm.
The wind WAS not severe, but
immense. Hail stones fell
over a large area of coun-
try and did great damage to the
crops and window glass. The
W4terspodt broke in Little Valley,
in Barry county, in which is situated
the town of Seven Star Spring, and
before the people could reach the
surrounding hills, torrent of water
rushed down, t'klng with it houses,
household goods and ANIMALS be-
longing to those living near the
Springs. Three women, a man and
seven small children weee swept
away by the flood, but fortunately
thry ali lodged in the bushes and
were rescued some hours later.

BEN BUTLER AND BLAINE.

Washington, May M.-Among the
items Of gossip around in political cir
cles to-day isone, whichis accepted with
much pleasure among the stalwart ele-
ment, to the effect that General Butler
has put Mr.. Conkling in possession of
facts tending to the great damage of the
administration, but more particularly
injurious to Mr.. Blaine. When General
Butler was here last week he had an in
terview with Mr.. Blaine, during the
course of which the secretary of state as
sured him seriously in the presence of
others that he not only had nothing to
do with the nomination of udge Robert
son for collector OF the port Of New
York, but that he knew nothing of the
presidents intention until after the nom-
ination was sent in. What Mr.. Blaine's
object in making such an extraordinary
statement was is not known, except that
the conjecture which is now thrown out.
which may be correct, that he knew Gen
eral Butler was friendly to Conkling,
and that the general knew some things
about him which would not be particu-
larly agreeable to HIM to have made
public. General Butler did not make
any reply to this assertion to Mr.. Blaine,
but there was q twinkle in his one eye
capable of such muscular exertion which
spoke volumes of incredulity. He after
wards told Senator Conkling of this, and
the latter remarked that it was enough
to lmake horse laugh. The story is
now that General Butler found out q
great deal about the star route irregular
tiles, and that he had communicated all
the pith of it to Mr.. Conkling, who will
take good care that they be fully known
the senatorial election. and that Mr..
Blaine is in great tribulaiion about it, as
it is said it will not help the admins
tration cause.
