ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, June 14.-Sun-
day was terrible day for cyclones
in northwest Missouri. The atmos-
pheric pressure was very great be-
tween 4 and 8 o'clock Ia the

of Commons last night, Forster, chief
secretary for Ireland, took occasion,
on the allegation of an Irish men,
Der that he (FOrster) had expressed
regret that the troops and police
had fired on the people, to read the
instructions issued during the New
Pallas riots, the salient point of
which was that the. resident
magistrate should give due warn
ing to the crowd to djsperse, and
use his best discretion to avoid Civ
ing order to fire, unless he was sat
isfied others less extreme meaures
would not snffice; but that he must
bear In mind that legal process,
which formed the object of the ex-
petition must be carried out.
Forster said the law could not be
defeated, and in extreme cases il
must be left to the decision of the
magistrates to give the necessary
instructions.
Official returns give ITO as the

PARIS, June 13.-The grand prize
race was won to-day by J. r. Keene's
Foxhall, Tristan second, Albion
third. The contest was very close
between the two first, particularly
on the home-stretch, Foxhan beat
ing Tristan by head. The weather
was fine but sultry. The various
roads to Longchamps were thronged
with vehicles. A great many drags
were conspicuous bearing the
flag. The attend
ance was immense. President
Grevy, ex-Queen Isabella and Min
listers Constans, Maguin and Ferry
we're present. Henry Rochefort,
the Duke of Hamilton, Prince Soltij-
kof and Marshal MacMahon were In
the paddock. Owing to q recent
rainfall the course was In excellent
order. Two to one was the
best price obtainable upon
Foxhall, Albion and Tristan
we're well supported. Long prices
we're obtaipable upon the remainder
Of the field. Ii may be truthfully
'aid that Foxhall was in front
throughout the race, and despite all
he efforts of Archer, who brought
Tristan with great rush at the dis
-ance, Foxhall won by q head amidst
applause from the
Americans, who seemed to go quite
mad, and the waving of the stars
md stripes from many drags.
