THE END COMING.
Indications that the British Law Makers
Will Soon Adjourn.

LONDON, May 27.-In the House of
Commons last night Mr.. Gladstone said
that the time was opportune to ask the
government its intentions in regard to
the termination of the session.
He did not wish to retard business.
but the House felt that the time was ap-
preaching when such declaration of
the governments S intention could be reas-
onably expected.
He did not, he added, desire to press
the government to name a particular day
for the dissolution of the House and de-
clared that he was not so anxious for the
early arrival of the day as that. An ex-
plicit statement on the course of the bus
mess should be made, so as to enable the
House to form judgment and make ar
rangements to the advantage of the mem
bers without distinction of party.
Mr.. Balfour agreed with Mr.. Gladstone
that an appropriate occasion might early
be found to make the declaration he de-
sired. He must, however, defer until a
better occasion any statement in behalf
of the government regarding the matter.
Mr. Labouchere said he did not think
the House felt much indebted to Mr..
Balfour for the information he had fur
nished. Laughter.
The Post this morning says: s'We
think that the statements which were
made yesterday by Mr.. Gladstone and
Mr.. Balfour foreshadow an arrangement
between the two sides of the House of
Commons to secure an early closing of
the present session of Parliament

NEW YORK, May 27.-The situation in
the street paving strike ethis morning in

ceived a severe set back in that great

Where Last Night Was One Of the
Thriving Towns Of Kansas.
WELLINGTON THE LATEST VICTIM
OF THE CYCLONES FURY.

A Funnel Shaped Cloud Swept Over the
Place-It Left Heaps of Debris Where
Had Been Four Blocks of Buildings
Fifteen Known To Be Dead and Many
Others Were Probably Killed.
KANSAS cIrU, Mo-, May PA special
from Wellington, Kas., says: This city
had visitation tonight from funnel
shaped cloud which ploughed through
the business part of the town with i'm
mense destruction of property, and some
loss of life. A heavy storm of wind pre-
ceded the cyclone. A few minutes after
nine O'Clock, with an awful roar, it struck
the city, coming from the southwest.
Everybody was indoors. Washington
avenue, the principal street, is lined on
both sides for blocks with ruins. Fire
broke out among the debris and one wo-
man, it is supposed, perished in the
flames. Solid blocks of brick buildings
lie in heaps of bricks and mortar. Hum
dreds of dwellings are either totally de-
stroyed or more or less damaged. The
city is in darkness, as the broken mains
made it necessary to shut down the gas
works.
Seven bodies have been taken out of
the Philip House ruins and large force
Us at work removing debris. Two mem
bers of the Salvation Army are expected
to die from injuries received. AtSquire
Smiths residence seven persons were
more or less injured. The streets are lit
tered with tin roofing, cloth awnings
and broken timbers. Everybody is ON
the streets and it is impossible to get at
the exact facts. The Standard and Mail
offices are wrecked. The opera house
and dozens of the best business buildings
are useless. Fine school buildings and
churches are ruined. The loss will foot
uplmany Thousand dollars. Wellington
is the county seat of Sumner county and
has a population of over 10000 1t is in
the centre of a thicl1ly settled agricultur-
al district and is the most prominent
town in Southern Kansas.

HE HAD A SYSTEM
He Tried 1t at Monte Carlo and 1t Won
Him Ruin and Death.

NICE, May 27. Another mysterious
tragedy has come to light at Monte Carlo
Notwithstanding the efforts of NJ. Blanc
and his agents to bury out of sight the
victims of the gambling casino.
James Welbregg, said to be an Ameri-
can, from New York, arrived in the early
part of this month on pleasure trip
through Europe. Welbregg was about
80 years of age and of pleasant manners,
and very free with his money. The
games seemed to have for him an ire
sistible attraction, and he was continual
ly talking about the great winnings of
the Englishman, Hall Wells, and other
reputed successful gamblers.
Wellbrigg evidently intended to follow
the Wells system and he played heavy
stakes and kept them up in the face of
almost continuous loss. At the trente
and quarante table he did not stop Satur-
day last till he had lost many thousands
of francs. On Monday he tried again
and played with nerve that astonished
even the veteran patrons of Monte Carlo.
Luck was steadily against him, how
ever, and when he withdrew from the
table his whole capital of 100000 francs
had disappeared.
On Tuesday last Mr.. Welbrigg entered
the casino and approached the tables as
if about to play. He did not play, how
ever, but stood and watched the others
as if the spectacle fascinated him. Then
he turned away and walked into the
reading room Of the casino. Suddenly
the report of a revolver was heard, and
there was a rush to the reading
room. A man lay prostrate- The en-
ployes of the casino made every effort to
hush the matter up, and Welbregg was
quietly buried. The affair created great
excitement among the foreigners, and
especially the Americans and English at
Monte Carlo.

partment and Its Needs.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The House
today passed the sundry civil appropri-
alton bill. No sooner had it done so than
Mr.. Hatch of Missouri was on his feet
with motion to go into committee of
the whole on the revenue measures. The
first of such measures On the calendar
was the anti-option bill. This motion
was antagonized by gentlemen
desirous of proceeding with the
appropriation bills. Mr.. Hatch's
motion was defeated by a vote of lO3 to
1OS and the House went into committee
of the whole on the post office appropria-
tion bill.
Mr.. Henderson Of North Carolina. in
charge of the bill, explained its provis-
ions. 1t recommended appropriations of
$7s, PIG, ,O67, a reduction Of So, 3O3 946 from
the estimates, and an increase Of $294, ,S45
over the appropriations for the current
fiscal year. The estimated revenues for
the fiscal year 1898 from the postal ser
vice were $50, 1886. $50. or So, ,12O, ,262 more
than the sum recommended. To meet
whatever defeieny may occur in the
several appropriations made by the bill,
sum equal to thot deficiency was to Be
appropriated from tHe treasury. MI.
Henderson stated that the post office de-
partment would soon be entirely self-sup-
ported, and hereafter a large surplus
might be expected every year, which
could be judiciously used in increasing
and multiplying needed postal facilities.

Others Probably Killed.
KANSAS Cry, Mo-, May 27.-The
Times special from Wellington, Kan,
says: The cyclone was terribly destruc-
tive. At II o'clock, fifteen persons are
known to have been killed and an in
vestigation of the wrecked buildings has
only been barely commenced. The cy-
clones most furious work was done
within a compass of four squares. Every
building in these squares was demolished
and wrecked. Fortunately the res
licences in that locality were not
numerous, otherwise the loss
of life would have been much greater.
The Phillips house, the hotel from whose
1uins seven bodies were taken, was well
filled with guests, and the loss of life in
that house is thought to have been great
the Monitor, Press, Voice, and Mail, We're
destroyed. The Wellington foundry was
demolished, and Mrs. William Asher and
her sister, Kittie Strahan, who were pass
ing at the time, were buried in the ruins
and killed. Their bodies have been re,
covered.
The destruction in the northeast part
of the city has also been great, but to-
night the details cannot be had. Great
profusion prevails everywhere. Sylvia
and Walter Forsythe were taken out of
the ruins of Conrad's restaurant in dy-
ing condition and have since died. Ida
Jones was one of the killed in the wreck
of the Phillips House. The destruction
south of Harvey avenue was compare
lively insignificant and no lives have
been lost in that section so far as known.
Grand Army hall has been converted in

While the Politicians in Gotham Specu-
late and Chase Rumors, Mr.. Blaine
Gets His Picture Taken and Seems to
Enjoy Life-Colone1 Conger of Ohio
Confident of the Maine Mans Nomina-
tlon at Minneapolis.
New YORK, May 27.-Secretary and
Mrs. Blaine breakfasted in the public
dining room. An hour later this morning
they were met by Senator Hiscock, with
whom few words were exchanged. At
II o'clock the Secretary took carriage
and was driven up town, intending, it is
said, to have his picture taken. There
were two arrivals at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel whom the Blaine men present took
a great interest in. They were j. Sloat
Fassett, secretary of the national com
mittee, and AL. Conger of Akron, O., a
national committeeman. Mr.. Conger be-
lieved that Mr.. Blaine would be the NOM
inee to the Minneapolis convention. 81
find," he said, "that the sentiment for
Blaine is not only strong in Ohio, but
everywhere else in the Union.''
The much talked-of conference of Re-
publican leaders who are opposed to the
denomination Of President Harrison will
not take place in this city, but it is said
will be held in Minneapolis two days be-
fore the convention.
A Washington special to the Press of
today says: Secretary Blaine, while at
breakfast after one of his early morning
walks recently, read an account of how
that champion exponent of physical per-
fection, John L. Sullivan, had visited DR..
Shrady in New York, and had subjected
himself to punching of all his muscles,
sounding of his lungs and an examina-
tion of his heart, with most satisfacto-
ry verdict as to the result. Mr.. Blaine
for once concluded that the example of
the great American prize fighter was a
good one to follow. He dictated a letter
to DR.. Pepper of Phi adelphia, provost
of the University of Pennsylvania, ask
ing him to come to Washington to make
a thorough physical examination, and to
deduce therefrom a scientific opinion as
undergo an extraordinary and prolonged
mental and bodily strain
DR.. Pepper promptly responded. He
came to Washington last week and the
Secretary of State submitted to aphysi-
cal examination more severe than even
the applicants for admission into the
military or naval academies are made to
undergo. DR.. Pepper sounded Mr..
Blaine's lungs, tested his heart, ex-
amined his muscles and tested all his
other vital organs. After the examination
was finished DR.. Pepper said to Secretary
Blaine:
"Mr. Secretary, you are a perfectly
sound man; there is not symptom of
organic disease about you. The only
possible defect that can discover lies
no4 y sither your vesicular or your mus
cular system. Your nervous system is a
little strained, but that can be remedied
speedily. You want to look after your
eyes and take plenty of exercises. With
these precautions you are fit for any
thing,''
