former years. The frontispiece is portrait
of President Hyde with an accompanying
biographical sketch by Mr. G. ii. smith,
Among other illustrations is one OF the
famous Bowdoin crew of 's5 and an excel

other Objectionable features which are often
found in publications of this kind. The

A BLOODY RIOT.
The elimination of Political Excite.
ment and LaWIessness.
TWO Factions in Laredo, Texas, En-.
gage in Deadly Conflict.
Five Persons Killed and Three Others
Wounded.

LAREDO, Texas, April S.-The intense ex-
citement and lawlessness which has prevail
ed here for the past fortnight, eliminated
last evening in bloody riot. The immedi-
ate cause is attributed by many to circular
which appeared yesterday morning, announc-
ing that the Democratic party would hold
funeral services at O'Clock in the afternoon
over the party known there as the 'Hu-
arches" Directly after the appearance of
the circular, it was announced that the 'Hu-
arches" party would prevent by force any
such demonstration.
At 4 o'clock, the streets leading to the
point from whence the Democratic process
sion was announced to start, were blockaded
with armed men. For half an hour the sus-
pense was intolerable. Then it was an
nounced that there would be no effort to
burn the efigy of the 'Huarches." This
had pacific effect, and the crowd began to
disperse.
Suddenly the music of the Democratic
band struck up, and the procession moved
out to and down Main street, turning into a
street leading to the Main Plaza. When
half of the column had reached the front OF
Martins store party OF men, armed WIN

cession. Instantly over one hundred men
became engaged in deadly conflict, and for
half an hour a regular battle ragged along the
street near the river. During the height OF
the conflict, small cannon which had been
used by the "Huarches" party, and which is
said to have been charged with nails and
stones, was fired down the street.
By o'clock the mob was supreme, and 1t
was feared that the women and children
would be at the mercy of the rioters. Al
this critical moment word was despatched 10
Col. Barnard, commander of the United
States forces at Fort Macintosh, that the
heavy firing in the city was caused by an at
tack by Mexicans from the other side OF the
Rio Grande 1t took him but a few mo-
ments to double-quick two. companies OF IN IN
fantry into the town. Before this force the
mob dispersed, and in short time every
armed man on the street had his weapons
taken, away from him, and order was re-
stored.
The casualties so far as known are five
killed and three wounded. All the killed
were MeXleals, except one, young Ameri-
can, named Becker. The wounded are Pan
chO Garcia, Mr. Paggenpohl. and nephew
Of Darlo Gonzalez. Mr.. Paggenpohl is a
prominent citizen, and was wounded by a
stray bullet while standing in front of A. G.
Dickinson's law office.
Those who took part in the Democratic
procession claim that they were fred into,
and only acted on the defensive The ex-
element last night was intense, but it is
thought that further blOodshed will be
avoided

Bearing the Imperial Burdens.

The proportion of the imperial burdens
which he had to propose that Ireland should
bear was as to a. He thought the new
Irish parliament ought to start with bal
ance to its credit. But the only fund it
would have if left alone would be the soli-
tary 100000 from the Irish church fund. He
knew no way of providing the necessary
money except by carving it out of this years
budget, and he proposed that in the future
Ireland should pay one-fifteenth towards the
imperial expenditures
Speaking of trade between Great Britain
and ireland, he said the Irish receipts would
gain from Great Britain sum that would
amount to no less total than a1 400, 900 per
annum on spirits alone He then entered
into an elaborate calculation of the total
income and expenditure of Ireland in the
couSe of which he stated that the total
charge to Ireland as her imperial contribu-
tiOn he put at 93, ,242, 900 per annum.
He estimated the total expenditure of Ire
land, including payment as sinking fund
for the Irish portion of the national debt, at
5000 per annum, and against that there
was total income of 9S, 100000 or surplus
to the good of a404, 900.

Wealth Of Parties in the Senate.

1t is much easier to pick out u mil
lionairs among the Republican Sena
tors than poor man. Senators Pal
mer, Sherman, Bowen, Cameron. Ma
hon, Hale. Sawyer and Stanford are
estimated to rank among the million
aires Of the country, while Senators
Allison. Dolph, Edmunds, Evarts, In-
gals, Miller. of \ " York, Spooner,
Plumb, Nn Wyck and perhaps sevs-
raj others are classified as very rich.
Senator Teller is enumerated among
the miliionareS by some who claim to
have an Insight into his earthly pos
sessions. but he protests that he is
poor. On the Dem cratic side of the
chamber there is but little wealth and
the millionaire s are exceeding ly scarce
Senator Fair is the only occupant of a
seat on that side of the chamber whose
riches run up to millions. Senator
Brown is estimated by some TO be
worth possibly million, and Senator
Camden, though wealthy, cannot reach
the seven figure class Washington

couldn't think who would tell such
