Exciting Debate In the Chamber
rBy Anglo-American cable to the Dispatch.l
RoMR, May Ain the Chamber of Depu-
ties to-day, amid noisy Interruptions,
Signor Nicotera, Minister OF the Interior,
recounted the events of May-dsy, and read
kilograms to show that the country was
tranquil. The troubles in Rome, he SAID,
were due TO the Anarchist Iamdi, who
had been sent expressly from Paris 70 in
cite a disturbance. He did not blame
the deputies concerned. but he thought It
would have been better if they had held
aloof and defended the military and po-
lice, who had erred rather on the side OF
tolerance. In view of the coming judicial
inquiry he asked the members to withdraw
their interpretations, otherwise. he must
move to adjourn the debate for six months.
STORM OF PROTESTS.
Sienor Imbriani provoked a storm OF
protests by persisting in the face OF Signor
Nicotera's denial that an officer was bru;
tally attacked at Barelai. The turmoil
caused the President to suspend the SIT
ting, and upon it being resumed he de-
cllned to adlournit untirto-morroW, when
the Government would demand an ex-
plicit vote Of confidence.

A YIERCE CONFLICT.

After this proceeding the mob retreated
for awhile, but subsequently reappesred
with increased numbers and made an at
tack upon the gendarmes. A fierce con-
fiict took place between the gendarmes
and the rioters in rear of church, during
which q number of the former were placed
hors de combat. A regiment of infantry was
then summoned to the scene OF renewed
disorder. and an uproarious scene followed,
the crowds fighting hand-to-hand with the
police and the soldiery. Finally, upon the
rioters perssting in their refusal to retire,
the soldiers fred, killing three people out
right and wounding q number OF others;
The soldiers, acting under their officers
instructions and in order to AVOID the
TAKING of life. fired low, at the legs Of the
people, with the result that many limbs OF
rioters have been amputated as one result
of the labor disturbances, After this
severe lesson the mob fed and all was com
naratiyely Quiet during the night. To-day
there is feeling of suppressed excitement
throughout Fourmies.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER CASE.
 Frying to UnraveI the Cause of Carl Ruttinger's Death - What a Com. paniOn With Him on His Voyage t0 America Says-The Identity o1 the Rochester Suspect Still Un. solved.
 P1rTsBURG, Pa., March 26.-Joseph Nuss, student at St. Fideli's college, in
 the monastery of St. Mary, was a com
 panion of Carl Ruttinger and William Wright, supposed to have been murdered
 in New York on their voyage to America.
 Nuss says Ruttinger and Wright discussed
 their business affairs generally in common
 They told Nuss that they intended pur- chasing farm in Ohio from an elderly gentleman who occupied first-class pass age on the vessel and spent good deal of his time with the supposed murdered men. Nuss did not learn this mans name, but describes him as a vindictive looking fellow with an evil eye. Nuss thinks that the stranger, knowing that Ruttinger and Wright expected to receive large sum of money in New York, followed them up and killed them.
 Nuss is about twenty-four years of age and native of Alsace. He served in the French army, and would have had to serve in the German army had he not left the country. He said that he had met the two men on board ship, and became acquainted, as the three were the only ones who could speak German. During the first part of the voyage Wright and Rut- tinger were good friends, but for some cause unknown to Nuss, they disagreed and were not very friend ly thereafter. They were both practically penniless and tried to borrow from Nuss, but he woule not lend. Wright and Rut- tinger left the ship together upon it's ar sight of them. Nuss can conceive of no cause why one should have murdered the other. All he knew about them was that they came from Dresden.
 Nuss is rather excitable individual and has many French mannerisms. Father Joseph has talked with Nuss and he be- ieves that he has no criminal knowledge of anything. Nuss thinks it possible that both men committed suicide, being dis heartened by their poverty.
 A telegram from Columbus, Ohio, to Pittsburg, said the New York police want ed Nuss.
 ROCHESTER, N. H., March 26.-The mys- tery connected with the real identity of James Gail Hamilton Allan still remains unsolved. The stories that he tells are very conflicting, and while they do not tend to connect him in any way with the murder of Ruttinger on Staten Island, it is singular that in his wanderings in this country there is hiatus of nearly three weeks at about the time of Ruttinger's murder. The prisoner will be arraigned in Rochester day

At Warden City no mail has been received for three days and no trains from either east or west are expected to arrive before Sat urday At Council Grove it has rained continually for fortyeight hours.

THE AIR WE BREATHE.


 The Census office Analyses the Att mospheric Conditions of Our Coun- try.
 WASHINGTON, March 26.-The census office to-day issued a bulletin upon the subject of the distribution of population in accordance with the mean relative hu midity of the atmosphere. The reason for publishing these statistics is because of climatic influences on diseases. It shows that nearly all the population of the United States breathe an atmosphere containing 65 to 75 per cent of it's full capacity of moisture; that is, the atmosphere is from two thirds to three-fourths saturated. In 1890, 57,036,O0 out of 62, 2,622, 250 were found in this region: in 1880 46. .559, ,000 out of 50, 155, 7S3 and in 1870 36, 273, ,000 out of 38, ,558, ,371. The number of inhabitants living in drier at- mosphere was at each census comparatively trihing, numbering in 1870 less than half million and in. 1890 less than two mil lions. In the moister atmosphere were found larger numbers scattered along the gulf coast and the shores of Washington and Oregon. The most rapid increase, says the bulletin, has been found at the top and bottom of the scale and particular. ly in the more arid region, where the pop, ulation has nearly doubled during each o1 the last two periods

THE TUNNEL INQUIRY.
The Subject of Electric Lights in the
 Tunnel.

The SuDJect or Electr1c Lights Tn the
 Tunnel.
 In reference to the report of the board of railroad commissioners on the Fourth avenue tunnel accident Secretary Hudson of Albany said yesterday that the board did not express the opinion that the electric lights in the tunnel would tend to make the signal lights less visible but that the testimony before the coroner's jury was strongly against the use of the electric lights as it was said that the smoke and steam would simply be illum- mated by these lights and danger signals rendered less visible. The board awaits the result of the experiments on the sub ject in the Fourth avenue tunnel. Orders having been given by the companies to string incandescent electric lights in one of the side tunnels on the side opposite the signals to test the question practically and also the problem whether electric lights will penetrate fog, smoke, etc., far ther and clearer than lights now in signal lamps with the view of substituting cleo tricity for trial in such lamps.

 The case against E. Henry Decker was I continued in the city court yesterday un- der bonds of $500 until to-day. Decker was unable to obtain bonds and was taken to the jail where he spent the night. Detective Guyer of the Philadelphia police force arrived in the city in season to attend the session of the court armed with requisition upon the governor of Connecticut for the body of the accused man. The detective said that the woman with whom Decker had been living was not his wife but that his wife was at present employed in restaurant in Phila- delphia striving to support herself and two children.
 Detective Guyer immediately after the trial proceeded to Hartford accompanied by Superintendent Bollman. When they arrived in Hartford the papers were eI- amined by the governor, when the matter was referred to State Attorney Doolittle of New Haven for the customary inquiry as to facts. Detective Guyer immediately returned to New Haven and after consul tation with City Attorney Daley returned to Hartford and again presented the papers to Governor Bulkeley, who imme- diately granted the desired acquisition.
 Late last evening Detective Guyer re- turned from Hartford, having in his pos session the desired requisition papers from Governor Bulkeley and will present them in the city court this morning. It was stated last evening that Decker's case, when called in the city court this morning would be immediately nolled and Decker delivered over to the sheriff. Then Attor- ney Hoadley will at once proceed to take out a writ of habeas corpus, and the case argued before Jndge Sanford in the su- perior court and then adjourned to Tues day next.
