Which will Result in the Disfranchise-
Elent of Many Voters.
LONDON. June 16.-The fixing of June
% as the date for the dissolution of
parliament looks like an artful dodge
on the part of the conservatives to gain
an advantage over their opponents by
preventing any borough elections from
being held on a Saturday. The iber-
ais have been afraid of such an occur
ence. and have for weeks been urging,
through their organs, the I'M Justice of
virtually DISTINGUISHING numbers of
workmen, who are mainly liberals
Thousands of worlSingmen cannot vote
Al all unless they do it on a Saturday,
and in addition to those who will be
wholly disfranchised, there are many
who will have their votes crowded
out in another way. When an cleo
ton falls on any other than a Saturday.
the workingmen must wait until or s
o'clock in the evening before they can
go to the polls. The balloting ma
chinery is often too slow in its opera
ton to keep pace with the numbers of
voters offering themselves, and as a
consequence some votes fail to be re-
corded in season. All this tells more
severely against the liberals than
against the tories.
It is expected that the elections in
Ireland will be the most turbulent for
century past. The police, it is al
legged by the liberals, have received
secret orders to help the government
candidates. wherever they are stand
ing. as much as possible, but to pre-
serve an absolute neutrality where the
only candidates are representatives of
the warning Irish factions. These or
ders will probably be interpreted to
mean. in the latter case, 'let them
fight it out The result can be easily
imagined.
At the anti-Parnellite meeting in
Dublin yesterday there was much vir-
tuous denunciation of Tim Harrington.
Michael Davitt bitterly scored Harring-
ton for having melted his comrades to
violence in the coming campaign, by
advising them not to lose a chance to
break a Justinian head. Davitt de-
clared that he was opposed to all vio-
lence. Nevertheless, he did not pro-
pose to submit tamely to violence from
Others He and his fellow Mccarthy
ties were tired of meekiy enduring
threats of outrage from Harrington
friends. They had borne insults and
blows long enough and he warned the
country that any one striking him
would regret the action. He knew
how to defend himself.

EXAGGERATED ESTIMATES.
The Fatalities by the Minnesota storm
Not Numerous Reported.

The Fatalities by the Minnesota storm
Not Numerous Reported.
WELLS. Mimi, June 17.-To-night for
the first time since the great storm of
Wednesday struck southern Minnesota
a correct estimate can be made of the
loss of human life. Happily the num-
Der of dead is very much smaller than
the exaggerated estimates of last night
would indicate. The daughter of Chas.
Melchart died this morning, bringing
the death list up to an even half
dozen for the three counties in which
the tornado struck the earth Nobody
was killed except at Minnesota Lake,
five miles northwest of here in Fari-
bau1t county. and east of that point in
Hartland townhsip, Frceborn county.
At the latter point over a dozen people
were injured, but only Andrew Han
som. farm hand. was killed. He
storped in a barn which blew over and
crushed him.
The dead at Minnesota Lake are John
Brown, Mrs. John Latusck. Henry
Pietrus, and Alice and Mary Melchert.
The exaggerations of Thursday were
quite natural owing to TIC railway and
telegraph chaos occasioned by the
storm For twenty-four hours trains
were unable to move and for a longer
period telegraph service was in state
of paralysis. AS soon as the trains be-
gan to move. the trainmen began to re-
late what they knew and what they
had heard and those who heard the
stories told them to others and they
gained rapidly in their travels. Cores
pondents of the Twin city papers sent
out accounts from Sherbourne, Fair
mount, Jackson, Wells. Blue Earth
CITY, Mankato and Albert Lea. Each
had only hearsay evidence and their
lists referred in the main to deaths in
the same localities, although the names
were often so garbled as not to be
recognized as referring to the same
people The aggregate made up list
of nearly fifty dead and with the rumors
list of nearly 100 was made up. In
all of the early reports it was stated
that a schoolhouse had been blown
down in Martin county and that
TEACHER and sixteen pupils had been
killed. This story was, for the most
paat gross exaggeration.
