Off as Yet

CHICAGO, July 20.
Dispatches from various points on the Bur-
lington road where Cbairmen Hoge and Muir
ply have been polling the men on the question
of declaring the strike off state that the ma

willing to have the strike declared of on any
such terms.
''The strike is not yet off" said Chairman

PARLIAMENT.
The Letter DenounCins the Action Of the
Speaker RouSeS Dignity.
Mr.. Conybeare, the Author 10 Suspend
ed for the Remainder OF
the Session.

LONDON, July 20.
In the House of Commons today, Lord
Churchill asked the speaker for permission
to question Mr.. Conybeare as to whether he
was the author of the letter in the Star de-
nouncng the conduct of the speaker in sup
porting the tory melton for closure on the
second reading of the land drainage bill.
The letter accused the speaker of gross in
justice to the minority and a breach of par
liamentary decorum, nothing short of a pub
lie scandal in assisting the government To
suppress the debate on the measure which
handed TO the Irish landlords half million
in English money.
Conybeare admitted that he was the au-
thor.
Churchill moved the suspension of Cony-
beare for the remainder of the session. The
letter, he said. was gross libel on the
speaker and gave a deliberate insult to the
House.
Gladstone deprecated the nvective. The
letter was distinctly breach of privilege.
He supported Cburchill's motion.
Sexton said no act seemed breach of
privilege when committed against an Irish
member. Irish members could obtain no re-
dress for ISLANDERS uttered in or written out
side the house. Sections remarks were
greeted with laughter and derisive cheers
Sexton left the house.
Smith held that Conybeare's letter was a
libel upon the speaker and the adoption Of
Churchil's motion was necessary to main.
tain.. ..decorum. The motion was adopted by
a vote of 245 to 1853.
Conybeare says he will place himself il
the hands of his constituents and resign il
they disapprove of his conduct

WHEELING. W Va July %.

WHEELING, W. Va, July 20.
The latest authentic details from Triadel-
phia show the destruction there more apall-
ing than anywhere else; l5 families homeless
and saved nothing. Half the village of six
hundred inhabitants swept away; but all the
| residents, except those before named, escaped
to the hills.
The storm extended sixteen miles east of
West Alexander, Pa, and all along the way
is desolaton and inconceivable horror.
Where the Triadelpha school-house stood,
the creek is now raging food Not yes
tige of even the foundation remains. The
whole south half of the town disappeared as
clean as if it never existed.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad, Pittsburg
division, is partially destroyed for fifteen
miles. The Western Union Telegraph Co.
lost forty miles of wire and most of their
poles. The reports coming in from all parts
of Ohio county are indicating the storm more
disastrous to life and property the country
than at first stated.
A visit to the scenes of yesterdays flood
shows that the work of destruction has been
but feelby described. Language can not do
justice to the ruin and desolation, east of the
city from Elm grove to West Alexandria on
the line. The Pittsburg division of the b
Elm grove to the Pennsylvania line. Large
| costly bridges are washed away and the
track lifted from the road bed and twisted
into all sorts of conceivable shapes for miles.
| At some places it was impossible to dis
Germ where the road bed had been. Several
of those who went down with the b. &. o.
bridge over Wheeling creek, at Main street
were doubtless strangers and their absence
is not noticed. Four men and three boys
who were on the bridge when it went down,
have not since been heard from. The re-
vised list of persons who perished shows a
total of fifteen.

the entire valley has suffered damage rang
ing from 500 to $1,000, while even those or

The bill to regulate interstate telegraphy

terststate commerce bill has done for rail-
road, I'm conversation the Sena-

This measure which has been reported
unanimously from the Senate commerce
committee, is the Spooner bill, over which
there was slight wrangle in the Senate ear
ler in the session, on the question of its ref
erence to the postoffice or commerce COM
mittee. Originally bill TO establish gov
ernment telegraph was introduced and re-
ferred to the poslofhce committee. Instead
of acting on that measure the postoffice com
mittee reported back a bill 10 regulate inter
state telegraphy, which was again referred tc
my committee. As it now stands it tembodies
many features of the interstate commerce.
bill In many points, of course. there are
necessary Emergencies from that measure
Il gives jurisdiction over interstate telegra

in addition to their present charges and du

Ii is even more radical than thas measure

BELIEVES IN PEACE.
The New German Emperor Convinced
at Last.

BERLIN, July 20.
The North German Gazette of Berlin pro-
tests against the Russian assertion that the
German policy is about to be changed. 1t
says;
The Emperor is convinced that even vic
torious wars are not equivalent to the bless
ings of peace. We know of nothing which
Russia could grant ms which we have not al
ready. There are no strictly legal and just
demands of Russia, known to us to which
Germany has not at all times responded, in
spite of the impudent boastngs of some Rus
sian journals.
The Gar and Emperor William intend to
confer upon each other the title of Honorary
Admiral.
The meeting between the two rulers is said
to be extremely cordial.

A Schooner Run Down Presumably by
the Steamer Fulda.

NEW ORk, July 20.
Schooner Jennie Edward was sunk at an
chor on the Grand Banks on the l4th inst by
a large steamer steering west north west. The
crew can give no accurate description of the
steamer owing to the fog.
1t will be remembered that the steamship
Fulda which arrived in New York from Bre-
men, Tuesday morning, collided with an un-
known schooner on the banks of New Found
land on the l4th instant during a dense fog.
Every effort was made to rescue the crew
but the steamer was forced to continue her
voyage without learning their fate. 1t was
supposed that they were all drowned.
The above does not indicate any loss of
life, but unless it should prove very singu-
lar coincidence the Jennie Edward was prob
ably the vessel cut in two by the Fulda.
