THE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.
A Lull After the Storm in the II ouse--
Business Transacted.


SPRINGFIELD, Ills, June 5.-The senate
yesterday put in good deal of time de-
batting the compulsory school bill as
amended by the senate. Nearly every sen.
ator had something to say for or against
the clause requiring certain branches to
be taught in English. Its chief advocates
were Mathews, Berry and Kerricl, and
the principal opponents were Thiele. Kar-
raker, Brink and Leeper. The bill was
finally passed, after debate that was dis
tinctly bitter, by vote of % to 22-Shum,
way and Mcdonald, Democrats, voting
with the Republicans, explaining that
they did not consider it a party ques- ion.
No Error in the Fair Bill Roll Gail.
In the house the advocates of 81, 900 000
for fair appropriation could find no
error in the roll call on the motion to re-
duce the amount to S750,000. and nothing
was done in the way of move to recGnsid-
er. The bill permitting cities of 10000
inhabitants to maintain non-sect arian
hospitals was passed. The bill providing
for local option on the liquor license ques-
ton in all cities of over $1,000 inhabitants
was order to second reading, and
that making the tapping" of telegraph
wires misdemeanor, and the gross weight

ballot reform bill, as amended 10y the sen.
ate, was taken up, the senate amendments
non-concurred in and the original bill or
dered to third reading. The World fair
appropriation bill was then considered by
sections. \ number of amendments were
offered and some of no particular interest
adopted, and the amount of appropriation
was not changed. The bill was ordered TO
third reading and made special order fer

Losses of Balmaceda's ships
No attempt was made by the foreign
warships TO stop the fight, which lasted
fully an hour. The Condell had to be run
on the beach to prevent her sinking,
while the Aldea was so badly ds mayed
that it will take long time to repair her.
In addition to the loss of nearly half of
her crew the Lynch lost four out of her six

The Insurgent Gillian Cruiser Magallanes
Makes a Daring Attack.
n SAN Francisco, June 5-April "a the
Gillian war vessels Admiral Lynch. Con-
dell and Aldea attacked the insurgent
cruiser Magallanes at Channel bay, the
attacking vessels getting the worst of the
fight and steaming out without attaining
their object of destroying the Magallanes,
which, however, was considerably dam
aged. The latter vessel then decided to
6 attack in turn, and if possible, destroy the
government warships before their repairs
could be completed. The attack was
made in the haBbor of Valparaiso April

\ Favored by darkness the Magallanes
trept into the harbor of Valparaiso and
began the attack by ranging close along
side the already crippled Aldea and firing
a broadside into her that did terrible exc
cutiOn. Nearly half of the torpedo boats
crew were either killed or wounded, and
the vessel was completely riddled An
alarm was sounded in the forts, but as the
vessels lay so close together the gunners in
the forts dared not fire for fear of hitting
their own vessels
Close Work and Awful Slaughter.
Getting clear of the Aldea, the Magallanes
at once attacked the Lynch but her fire
was returned with interest. The smoke
stack of the Lynch was blown away, and a
boat containing ten men, who had been
sent to try to attack the rebel vessel with
a torpedo, was blown out of the water.
The COndell had steamed to the outside of
the Magallanes, thus getting the latter
between two fires. The Magallanes was
shot through and through. Over forty of
the crew were lying dead or dying ON her
decks, but her guns were untouched, and
her captain made up his mind to try to
better his position.
The Condell Nearly Demolished.
Suddenly the rebel vessel began to move
astern and ceased firing, The night being
so dark the government steamers were I'M
knowingly firing into each other, and
the Condell began to fill rapidly. The
trick was not discovered until the Magal-
lanes had tnrned, and, steaming across
the stern of the Condell, poured in
a broadside that nearly demolished the
latter, dismounting every gun and killing
fourteen and wounding six more of the
crew. The rebel steamer then started to
