In the suburbs were entirely wrecked,

skirts OF the capital which were blown
from their foundations and wrecked,
some were so completely and quickly
broken up and scattered by the wind
that they may be said to have simply
vanished before the storm. Tele-
graphic communication has been so
completely cut off that it is impossi-
BILE to as yet obtain news from the

been widespread. The Queen visited

Many washerwomen were blown into

GLADsTONE's OPPONENTs.
The Followers of Lord Harti1lgto HOLD
Meeting.

Meeting.
LONDON, May 14.-A meeting of the
followers ofLord Harrington was held
to-day, for the purpose of cenenting
the Wing and Radical opposition to
the Home Rule bill. Sixty -four gentle
men attended, including Mr. Chamber
lain, Mr.. Trevelyan and Mr.. Caino.
Lord Harrington made q twenty
minute speech, in which he explained
the reasons why Liberals should op-
pose Mr.. Gladstone's measure. The
meeting was harmonious throughout,
and unanimously adopted 81 resolu-
ton declaring that those present
would oppose the second reading of
the Home Rule bill. The meeting lasted
half an hour.
Lord Harrington, in his speech, de-
clared that the pledges from Liberals
to oppose Mr.. Gladstones Home Rule
bill were sufficient in number to make.
| the rejection of the bill on it's second
reading certainty. The defeat of
the bill, he said, would cast heavy
responsibility on him, which, however,
he was quite prepared to accept.
Several gentlemen made brief remarks.
in which they stated their determine
lion to oppose any measure brought
forward which did not equally apply
to the whole kingdom. Mr.. Chamber
lain said if the government should
recompense the landlords of Ireland,
they would establish q precedent for
the recompense of impecunious trades
men, Workingmen and others.
| Henry Labouchere writes letter to
correct the published report of the
speech he delivered at Northampton
last Wednesday night. He denies
that he then claimed to have Mr.. Par
nelPs authority for denying the state
ment that the Nationalist members
of Parliament would not support the
Home Rule bill amended to retain
Irish Representatives at Westminster.
What he said was, he knew that Mr.
Parnell had never actually refused to
accept the proposal to retain
Irish representatives, and that, there
fore, the arguments which had been
built up on the supposition that the
Irish leader had refused were valueless.
Mr.. Labouchere says that he is con-
vinced that if Mr.. Gladstone will Yield
this point to the Chamberlainites on
the supposition that in the doing of it
lies his sole method of carrying the bill
Mr.. Parnell will agree to the amend
meEt.

A Crooked Clerk.

About the time the large dry goods store
