In the Illinois Legislature Over
the Passage of Bills.
Scenes of Violence and Excite
ment in Both Houses.

a Dispute Over a Bill,
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 5,-An extra
ordinary scene of wild confusion and ex-
citement was witnessed in the lower
house of the general assembly Wednes.
day afternoon when the worlds fair bill,
which as passed by the senate, appropri-
ating 81 100000 for the Illinois exhibit,
was acted upon. Efforts to reduce the
appropriation to $500,000 or 5000, 900
were successively defeated, but in mo-
ton fixing the amount at $3.50, 900 it was
apparent that the vote would be nearly
tie.
Speaker Crafts, Democrat, voted for
the amendment, and, ignoring Repub-
lican member who wished to change
and vote in favor of the bill, hurriedly
announced that the vote had been
closed Then the house became bed
lam of shrieking, blaspheming and hur-
raining men, while Crafts coolly declared
the $750,000 amendment had been
adopted, rs yeas to 70 nays, in the face
of terrific storm of protests The
speaker would listen only to motion to
adjourn, and calmly declared the mo-
tion carried.
The members We're now yelling and
running about like so many Indians.
Half dozen made rush foy the speak

from the chair, but were forcibly held
back by his seconds. More than one
legislator reached for his revolver, and
a riot seemed inevitable. McInery, of
Chicago, Democrat, at this moment
jumped to the speakers stand and shout
ing, 1--WE will reconsider it tomorrow"
finally succeeded in bringing about a
truce.
Scrap in the Senate.
The novelty of fisticuff in the senate
chamber was witnessed Tuesday after.
noon 1t was between Senators Camp
bell and Allen, and grew out of d dis
pute over bill. Senator Allen accosted
the gentleman from McLeansborough,
who said he did not want to have any
thing to do with him. and the gentle
man from Scott gave the retort discour-
teous. Senator Campbell banged Sen
ator Allen in the left ear, and Senator
Allen reached for a mucilage pot, but
missed it, and had to smite at his adver-
sary with bill file loaded down with
bills which had failed to pass. There
was a commotion, and the combatants
were separated. Subsequently there
were proper apologies

countered the Esneralda. The Charles
ton was endeavoring to enter the harbor
unseen, but the Esmeralda brought out
her search lights, and all hands on the
Charleston were called to general quar-
tiers and the ship was cleared for action.
The crew were at their stations for
three hours, rs it was supposed the Itata
was in the harbor, and everything was
in readiness to take her. Six and eight
inch shells were piled on the deck, and
every gun was loaded. The Esmeralda
followed the Charleston into the harbor,
but the latter left and resumed her chase
as soon as Dossible.

In Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, June 5.-Several places
in Kentucky report severe storms
Wednesday,
At Augusta trees were uprooted and
houses were unroofed by a storm.
At Falmouth the immense barn of a
farmer, James Austin, was blown down
and Miss Mamie, his 16-year-old daugh-
ter, was killed.
In Covington one end of the brick
boiler shop of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railway was razed to the ground. The
other half was left intact. James c.
Watts, workman in the shop was
killed and one other workman was
slightly injured. No other damage or
casualty is reported. The damage to
the Chesapeake and Ohio boiler shops il
about $4,000.
At the Latonia race track near Gov
ington a panic ensued in the grand
stand. In the rush for places of safety
a number of benches gave way. The
excited men and women lost their senses
in the confusion, and but for the cool
headedness of few men no doubt many
people would have been trampled to
death. Half an hour later the drenched
crowd was sitting on the benches watch
ing the flyers.
At Ashland the storm lasted fully
thirty minutes. No houses were demol-
ished, but many trees were blown down
and broken off. Two iron stacks were
overturned at the Ashland e-brick
Yards. Three men in a skiff We're seen
to capsize the river. They have not yet
been found.

CANADIAN INTERFERENCE
Spoiled Our Arrangement with New
fOundland.

fOundland.
OTTAWA, Ont, June 5.-The papers in
reference to the negotiations between
the government of the United States
and the Canadian government were laid
before parliament Wednesday. The
main point of interest is the confession
of Sir Charles Tupper that Mr.. Blaine
said he did not agree with the reference
which had been made by Sir Charles
Upper and Sir John Macdonald as to
the initiative proposed in formal discus
sion between the Dominion and the
United States representatives. Contrary
to what these gentlemen had talked on
the stump, the initiative had come from
Sir Julian Pauncefote.
1t appears from Sir Charles account
of his interview with Mr.. Blaine the
latter taxed the Canadian government
with Inference in the negotiations be-
tween the United States and Newfound-
land, and upon Sir Charles replying
that the community of interests between
the colonies made interference necessary,
Mr.. Blaine wanted to know why New.
foundland had not become part of the
Dominion.
Sir Charles completely absolves the
president and Mr.. Blaine from any dis
courtesy in postponing the negotiations
until Oct. ~.
Many important letters in the negotia-
tions have been withheld pending re-
ceipt of permission from the government
at Washington for their publication.

ST. LOUIS, June 5,-The published re-

American Clergymen's society, of this
city, was the author of the so-called Lu-

various press associations;
hereby, formally and officially declare
in the name of the Deutseh-American
ischer Priesterverein, that said society was
in no way whatever, directly or indirectly,
connected with the so-called Lucerne
memorial; that said society had not the
least idea of its existence prior to its being
made public through European cablegrams
and American papers, much less ever oc.
casioned its origin.
