WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-After routine
business the house went into committee

The chair sustained the point of order
and the clause was stricken out.
On motion of Townsend an amendment
was adopted appropriating $500, 600 for
the purchase of guns Of musketry cali
bre. The clause for dynamite guns to be
placed in San Francisco harbor was ruled
out on a point OF order.
The committee then reported and the

Charged With Perjury.

LONDON, Feb. S.-Patrick Maloy was
charged at the Bow street police o to-
day with committing perjury before the
Parnell commission. Matthews, counsel
for the Times, stated that Maloy tricked
a Dublin solicitor for the Times by revela-
tons concerning the Fenian brotherhood
and lnvincibles. Maloy afterwards de
MED before the commission that he was
either a Fenian or Invincible. The pros.
ecution as~certained that Maloy had been
both, and had evidence to prove perjury.
Patrick Delaney, who was sentenced to
death for completely in the Phoenix park
murders, sentence afterwards being com
muted to life Imprisonment, was the first
witness. He connected Maloy with the
Invincibles, and also said that Malov was
a member of a party formed in 1882 to
murder Chief Secretary Forester. Ma
10y also assisted in a plot to murder JUS
tice Lawson, Crown Solicitor Anderson
and the twelve Dublin jurymen who gave
a verdict against Fenian Frank Hines.

ROME, Feb. S.-The fears recently en-
tertained by the authorities that an out
break would occur among the thousand
unemployed men in this city were realized
to-day. This morning a great crowd of
unemployed ~workingmen assembled and
marched through via Condotta and other
streets of this city, breakning shop fronts
as they went and in some cases entering
stores and carrying off whatever plumber
they could secure. Street lamps and
windows were smashed by the mob and a
number of building were partly wrecked.
Several collisions occurred between the
police and a number of persons were
wounded. Several of the r~lngleaders
among the rioters were arrested. Troops
are forming a Gordon around the disturbed
districts. Thirty persons, mostly police
men were dangerously wounded during
the riot. 1t is feared the trouble will be
resumed to morrow.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. S.-The flight Of Henry
Diechmann, president of the Mauntelbor-
gers Milling company, to Canada con-
tinues to be the chief topic of converse
ton in financial and commercial circles.
The amount of his deialcation is estimated
at from $4,000 upwards. but the exact
figures are not obta!nable. The heaviest
loser will be his mother in-law, Mrs.
Meyers, of whose estate he has been
trustee tor several years For the past
three years Diechmann has been a familiar
figure on the merchants exchange and
has gained the reputation of a bold speed
lator. The attachment suit against him
by Mrs. Meyers was the first intimation
of anything wrong with his finances. As
soon as the notice of this suit was given
there was a general stampede among com
mission men to learn whether or lot
Diechmann was their debtor.
1t was found that his transactions had
been much larger than at first supposed.
He had dealings with nearly every firm
on the board as well as with some Chi.
cage houses. Ii is now believed that his

New YORK, Feb. S.-A terrific explo-
sion this evening blew a hole through the
two foot wall of David Stevenson S brewery
and shattered hundreds of windows on
Tenth avenue in the neighborhood OF
Fortieth street, where it occurred. For
%tunately nc one was seriously hurt. Who
placed the dynamite bomb, for such it is
believed to be was the cause of the explo.
sion, is a mystery. Stevenson had lately
been involved in labor troubles. John
O'Connell, president of the Ale and Por
ter Brewers Protective Association. made
charges against Stevenson that he was not
paying his men enough, and though the
charges were disprovcd a boycott was or
dered. This was recently removed, how
ever, as unjust. Not one Of his men left
during the fight. In the vicinity of the
brewery it is thought that malice because
of these facts prompted the act to night.
John Dunn was drinking a glass of beer
in a nelghboring saloon when the explo-
sion occurred, and the glass was blown
out of his hand, and Ed. Dunn, a brother,
was flung back against the pump with a
force that caused internal injuries. Just
at the spot where the explosion is thought
to have been are FIVE drying kilns. but
Stevenson is positive that gas did not
cause the explosion. The fire marshal,
who was present, was of the opinion that
a bomb was thrown from a room in a ten
ement across the way. 1t is stated at n
drug store near the scene that four women
had been brought to premature confine-
mCnt by Tho a%ynlnsion
