great storms, this city escaped harmless last night

plainly marked by the devastation of crops. uprooted
trees and scattered fences. On this side of the Ohio
River the storm was hardly severe, yet large

ANOTHER REVENGE CIRCULAR SECRETLY
ISSUED IN CHICAGO
WORKING UP THE PASSIONS OF ANARCHISTS AND
CALLING ON THEM TO AvENGE THE DEATH
OF SPIES AND ms COyFYpFRATrs

OF SPIES AND HIS CONfEDEKAltr
Chicago, July 20.-Inspector Bonfield has now
in his possession copies of what purports to be a
secret newspaper, but which is in reality secret
circular, differing but little from the famous Re
venge7 circular with which August Spies called
the fatal Haymarket meeting together two years
ago last May. The main difference is that the
paper, which is termed The Revenge calls for
active steps the part of old time Anarchists TO
avenge the execution Of Spies. Parsons, Lings.
Engel and Fischer. 1t was learned that this paper
is being distributed secretly among the Anarchist
groups and that, although it purports TO be printed
in foreign land, it is really issued in Chicago.
1t is said to be not improbable that the dis
covery of this sheet will lead to the arrest OF
prominent Anarchists not only IN Chicago, but
all the country, and that the police are only
waiting until their chain Of evidence shall have
been completed. Inspector Bonfeld said this af-
ternoon that it fact that there was such a
paper as that described in secret circulation among
the Anarchists, and declared the following state
ment concerning il 10 be substantially correct:
" The paper has been started solely for the pur-
pose of working up the passions OF the Anarchists
to such point that they will not stop at anything
to avenge what it terms the bloodthirsty murder
of the martyrs Certain articles are printed IN
three languages, and urge that IL is absolutely
necessary that all true Anarchists should take i'm
mediate and vigorous steps to intimidate the expo
nents of monopoly, and thus prevent similar 'mur-
ders'

closure was an act Of the House. In dealing
with the matter he held absolutely neutral
position. and he left the affair to the judgment
OF the House Cheers.
Mr.. Gladstone deprecated invective as wholly
out of place in this discussion. The letter was
distinctly breach of privilege, and he would,
therefore, support Lord Randolph Churcmlls mo-
tion.
Mr.. Labouchere moved TO substitute in the mo-
ton the words breach of privilege for the words
gross libcl'
Mr.. Sexton said that no act seemed to be breach
of privilege when committed against an Irish men,

for ISLANDERS uttered in written OF tside OF the
House. the best course they could adopt was to

Mr. Sextons remarks were greeted with laughter
and derisive cheers. during which Mr.. Sexton left
the House.
W. H. Smith held that Mr.. Conybeares letter
was direct libel upon the Speaker Of the House.
and that the adoption Of Lord Randolph
Churchills motion was necessary in order to main
tain decorum in Parliament.
The motion was adopted by vote of 245 TO l 6s.
An amendment was afterward adopted suspending
Mr.. Conybeare for one month.
