LONDON, June 1S.-In the house of COM
mons Messrs. Gill and Finch, nation
alists, questioned Mr.. Balfour regarding the
governments system of Swallowing" per-
sons in Ireland. They wanted to know how
this shadowing could prevent boycotting.
Mr.. Balfour replied that no one was shsd-
owed, unless he was known to be engaged in
intimidation.
Mr.. Dillon: eff, after this brutal, abom-
Unable outrage, there is bloodshed, it will be
upon your head"
Mr.. Parnen asked Mr.. Balfour to adapt
the English presumption that every person
accused Is innocent until proved to be guilty.
Cheers.
Mr.. Balfour: ''Win Mr.. Parnell under
take that these people shall not repeat their
crimes?"
This question brought out loud Parnellite
cr1es of ''what crimes" and amid tremend-
Gus uproar on the part of Psrnellites, Mr..
Dillon began an excited speech. He de-
nounced Mr.. Balfour, and demanded an
apology for the use of the word ''crime." A
stormy scene ensued, in which Mr.. Gill
accused Mr.. Balfour of lying, and Mr.. Glad
stone challenged him to prove his assertion
that the liberals reSorted to the practice of
shadowing.
Mr.. Balfour substituted the word intimi-
dalton, and boycotting for crime. Finally
the speaker appealed to to the house and the
matter was dropped.

It Goes to the supreme Court.

TOPEKA, KAN, June 1S.-Courty Attorney
r. B. WEIGH has ordered the records from
the United States court to make up his papers
to appeal the original package cases from
the United States circuit court to the
supreme court. Attorney General L. B.
Kellogg will be associated with him on the
side of the state.
One ground of appeal is that the United
States circuit court had no jurisdiction till
the liquor men had exhausted the remedies
of the state courts when the prosecution is
under state law that is valid, this having
always been the rule of comfy between the
two judiciaries. Another ground is that one,
two and three quart bottles are not the kind
of packages that may be sold under the orig
inal package decision; since that decision
authorizes only wholesale dealers to sell, and
the statute fixes five gallons as the least
amount to be handled under a wholesale
1ealer's license, five gallons is the smallest
package that can be sold.
I. f. Carver, the Saline county attorney,
while in Topeka, declared that he would ap-
peal the Salina case to the supreme court,
and he was confident of being able to gain
reversal of the ruling of the circuit court.

The Decision Nav be Reconstdered.

WASHINGTON D. c., June 18.-It is pri-
vately stated, upon most excellent authority,
that the recent Original package" decision
of the United States supreme court will be
reconsidered by the court, and there is every
reason to believe that the court will reverse
its decision and by a majority vote of two
sustain the prohibition law.
Hon John Y. Stone, attorney general of
Iowa, has been in the city some time in con-
sultation with prominent lawyers in the
house and senate, members of judiciary COM
mittees of both houses and members of the
supreme court upon this subject. As a re-
suit of these conferences, General Stone has
decided that he has more than a good fight
ing chance for success if a rehearing is given,
and he feels very sanguine.
motion for arehearing of the case will
be in order at the October term of court.
General Stone feels that that will be an ad-
vantage, as sentiment against the supreme
court decision is growing stronger each
day, and it is because of the expression of
the ablest constitutional lawyers of the land
on this subject that he thinks the courts will
reverse its decision.

No service Pensions This Year.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June Alt is eI-
pected that the compromise pension bill
agreed upon will be received with cyclone
of protests from Indiana and Kansas. Gov
ernor Hoyey, from the former state, made a
service pension an issue. He talked it on
the stump and pledged the republican party
to it in the campaign of 1888. He does not
hesitate to cay that Indiana was earned for
Harrison on the distinct understanding that
a service pension would be voted. When
congress met the Indiana Grand Army posts
led of with memorials to congress to redeem
their pledges of 1888.
They were ably seconded by Kansas. The
old soldiers of other states manifested inter-
est in the subject, but Indiana and Kansas
have been afire from the start. Yesterday s
action settles that there will be no service
pension. The disappointment in the two
states will be very great. Responsibility for
the failure rests with the senate, which body
utterly refuses to accept the principle in any
form. Some senators who professed, for
the benefit of soldier constituents, to be for a
service pension were really against it.

LONG ISLAND DAIRYMEN,
Fight for Their Herds Against Govern
ment Agents.

Fight for Their Herds Against Govern
ment Agents.
NEW YORK. June 1.-The stringent meas
ures adopted by the secretary of agriculture
to stamp out the violent disease pleuro- pneu-
monia of cattle from its last stronghold in
counties of Kings and Queens, on Long Is
land, has created tremendous excitement and
aroused the dairymen INTO an attitude of
armed rebellion. It is understood that Sec
rotary Rusk has recently received private IN
timation that unless this disease be effec-
lively extlrpated severe quarantine will be
proclaimed by England against the importa-
ton of American cattle. This would para
lyze one of the most important branches of
American industry for the time being. and
result In incalculable loss to western cattle
raisers. Last week Secretary Rusk spent
two days in New York and theoretically i'm
pressed upon the government agent for the
eastern states, the chief inspector for the
state of New York, the urgent necessity of
gathering in and killing all cattle diseased
or exposed. A great raid was therefore or
ganized and executed by the two gentlemen
named at the head of a large posse of the
bureau employees. The dairymen we're not
found unprepared for vigorous resistance.
They launched paving stones. brick bats and
other missiles upon the invaders, hand to
hand encounters took place and in some IN
stances pistols were drawn. Some of the
herds we're so strongly defended that the
bureau forces were unable to capture them.
1t is understood that there will be other raids
and that Secretary Rusk will not modify the
stringency of his measures until this last
lurking place of pleuro-pneumonia be effec-
lively conquered and cleansed.

NEW YOnK, June 1s.-R. G. Dun & Co..

NEW York, June 16.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says:
Speculation has been neither large in vol
ume nor enthusiastic in tone during the past
week, but the legitimate business of the
country continues unprecedented in volume
for the season, and highly encouraging in
prospects. There has been quite decline in
exports from New York for two weeks past,
the value having been IA per cent below that
of the same weeks last year, while in imports
here a moderate increase continues, last
week it being 5 per cent. But the flow of
currency to the center supplies demands and
makes the market easy. Interior cities re-
port rather more demand for money, and at
Boston rates are rising. At Chicago and st.
Louis it was steady, and at Philadelphia dull.
Not much commercial paper offering, but at
most points the demand is fair, with sufh-
Gent supply.
Crop prospects begin to rule all markets
at this season, and these are constantly i'm
proving. Wheat has declined Is cents: oats
/ cent. and corn q cents. Coffee is I'M
changed. Hogs, lard and pork have scarcely
changed in price, and the rise of "a cents in
oil is purely speculative. better demand
for refined sugar Is alleged as reason for an
advance of g cent in price, but other reports
indicate that dealers are not buying freely at
the nigh prees asked.
The general level of prices is but shade
higher than week ago, and the prevailing
tendency seems at present to be toward
lower range of quotations for time.
The demands for various forms of manu-
featured iron and steel is good and prices
steady. The wool market has been dull.
Philadelphia and Chicago reports indicate
that growers are holding for higher prices,
but no improvement is seen in wooden goods,
though dress goods are in fair request here,
and stocks of light weight cloths are small.
Flannel mills are generally cutting down
production.
The reports from other cities show a
healthy state of trade, with clear signs OF
improvement where better crop prospects
have immediate influence.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days num-
bered 212, as compared with 2O5 last
week. For the corresponding week of last
year the figures were $50.

naked bodies only. This house was among
the first brick buildings erected in Topeka.

FIndlav. ohio. BLOWN Un.

ToLEDo.-A Findlay. OHIO, special to
the Blade says that everybody in that
city was awakened by tremendous shock
that rocked every building, breaking win
dows in many places. 1t was found to be
the explosion of Casterline d Co.'s nitro
glycerine works, situated four miles east of
the city. A correspondent just from the
scene reports hole in the ground large
enough to take in four story business block,
while the factory, reduced to kinding wood,
is scattered for a mile in every direction.
No one was in or about the works, therefore
there was no loss of life.
An idea of the force of the explosion may
be estimated when it is said five tons of nitro
glycerine went up. No estimate of the loss
of life is yet obtained.
Specials from all parts in northwestern
Ohio show that the shock was felt over forty
miles in every direction, and was generally
attributed to an earthquake. It was distinctly
perceptible in Toledo.
