THE CLOTURE RULE

Put In Force In the British House of Conn
mons, aud O'Brien, an Irish Member, Sus-
pended For Open Defiance of the Speaker
"A stormy Scene.
LONDON, February PA great tumult
OF excitement occurred in the House of
Commons this afternoon. A motion was
made from the Government benches to
suspend the regular order so that the de-,
bate ON the censure resolution of the OPP
position might be resumed. This was
opposed by the Irish members, who sue
ceeded in causing perfect uproar. Will
liam O'Brien, member for Mallow and
editor of the United ireland, was so bold
in his defiance of the rulings of the Speak
er that the latter suspended him.
LONDON, February 25.-The pretext
for the opposition by the Irish members
to the continuance of the debate on the
censure resolution in the Commons yes
terday afternoon, was that the regular
order of the day, namely Mr., Redmond's
motion for an inquiry into the Dublin
Castle scandals, ought not to be longer
postponed. The disorder which accom-
panied the filibustering of the Irish men,
bers has seldom had a parallel in the
the House. When Speaker Peel found
that his repeated calling of the obstruc-
tionists to order was disregarded, he took
advantage of the power conferred upon
him by the cloture rule, and as the only
method of defending the House against
conspiracy among the handful of
Parnellites, he peremptorily de-
clared the debate on the
pending question closed. This action
was followed by angry yells and exclama-
lions from the Irish seats. Mr.. O'Brien
cried out to the Speaker; awe will re-
member this insult to Ireland" Mr..
0'Brien was thereupon "named" by the
Speaker, that is, suspended from the
privileges of the House for one week.
Mr.. O'Brien, as he turned to leave the
hall, called utagain to the Speaker: "This
is the only honor have wished to obtain
from your hands" The Speaker simply
repeated his Injunction to withdraw
from the House. "Certainly! SIR" re-
torted Mr.. O'Brien, and with more
pleasure than | ever had in entering"
Upon the withdrawal of Mr.. O'Brien,
the House by vote of 81 to 46, sus
tanned the action of the Speaker in de-
claring cloturs. The debate on the motion
of censure against the Government was
then resumed.

Buying Goods on Worthless Sight Drafts
and Selling Them for Cash.
New YORK, February PA man Civ
ing the name of John Smith, rented a
store in Jersey City about one month ago,
and soon began to receive quantities of
merchandise by freight. A few days ago

ments of goods on sight drafts, which
had been dishonored. Investigation
showed that Smith had at once put the
goods he received in new packages and
sold them at greatly reduced prices to
local merchants.

BURNABY'S RASHNESS.

The True Story of Burnaby's Death and the
breaking of the British Square at Abu
KIea-Gordon's Wolseleys In
tentiOns.
LONDON, February 25.-The dispatches
sent by Mr. Charles Williams to the Cen
trail Ne,oS, describing the battle of Abu
Kela, and which were suppressed by
General Lord Wolseley, have at last
reached London, and are published in full
this morning. They contradict the pre-
vailing impression that General Stewards
square was broken by the overwhelming
power of numbers. He says that Colonel
Burnaby, who commanded the dismouhted
cavalry forming one side of the square,
ordered them TO make a charge against
an advancing body of Arabs. He was
killed in leading the charge, and his men
were beaten back after a desperate en-
counter at close quarters. In the
confusion resulting from this disastrous
movement, the Arabs easily penetrated
the square, and were nearly successful
in breaking it to pieces. The most dam
aging statement made by Mr.. Williams
is his positive assertion that Burnaby
acted entirely without authority in order.
Ing the charge.

The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1885-03-05

In the plains of India, at the com
mencement of the monsoon, storms
occur in which the lightning runs like
snakes all over the sky at the rate of
three or four flashes in a second, and
the thunder roars without a break for
frequently one or two hours at a time.
During twelve years residence in India
1 heard of only two human beings, and,
I think, three buildings, being struck,
although in parts of Lower Bengal the
population amounts to more than 600 to
the square mile. I always attributed
the scarcity of accidents to the great
depth of the stratum of heated air nevt
the ground, keeping the clouds at such
a height that most of the flashes pass
from cloud to cloud and very few reach
the earth. This idea is supported by the
fact that in the Himalayas, at 5000 feet
or more above the sea, buildings and
trees are frequently struck. l have seen
! more than a dozen pine trees which had
been injured by lightning on the top of
| n mountain between 5000 and 5000
feet high. In the British Islands thunder
storms are said to be more dangerous
in winter than IN summer, and such a
fact, if true. can be explained by the
very thin stratum of the air then inter-
vening between the clouds and the
earth.-N1ture.
