AN APPALLING Loss OF LIFE.

Mnuritfus Visited by a Terrible Hur-
 rfcane-The Western Half of the
 Capital Devastated-A Large Num-
 Der of Persons Crushed to Death by
 Falling Houses.
 LONDON, May 19.-Advices received here from Mauritius state that hurricane unprecedented in it's violence passed over that island on April go, causing enormous damage to shipping. A majority of the vessels at the island were blown ashore The western half of Port Louis, the capi- tai, was devastated. Houses were blown down, gigantic trees were uprooted and that part of the town was about wiped out of existence. The loss of life was ap- palling. A large number of persons were caught in the falling houses and crushed to death, while others lost their lives by being struck by flying debris while at- tempting to seek places of safety. The exact number of dead is not known Every effort is being made by the authori- ties to alleviate the suffering that has been caused by the disaster.
 The governor has issued orders for mili- tary tents to be distributed to shelter the homeless, and food is being issued to those who have lost everything by the storm. Half of the crops of sugar, rice, coffee and pepper has been utterly ruined. and the loss in this direction has been extremely heavy.
 Mauritius, or, as it fig sometimes called, Isle of France, has always been noted for violent and destructive hurricanes, but this one exceeds in destructiveness any one hitherto known. It is not in the power of words to describe the scene. The low ering skies and falling barometers gave warning of the approach of the storm.

 Record for Third Ease Play-Scores
 of Other Games.
 ROCHESTER, May -tSpeciaD.- D.-Ths New Haven team lost to-dsy's game to Rochester owing to Gruber's wildness and errors at critical points of the game. Cru Der, barring his wildness, pitched good game and was not hit very hard. In the fourth inning the home team made five runs on lucky punching of hits, coupled with misplsys by the visitors, and added three more runs to its score in the eighth on a base on balls, an error, e sacrifice, 6 double and a single. At no time after the fourth inning were the New Haveners in it and the local team won about ss they blessed. The redeeming feature of the third base, in fact his work has never been eaualled in this city. He had a total of sixteen chances, of which he accepted four teen. Several of the chances were of most difficult order. Donnelly's work at third base to-day Is clearly & record breaker
 The home team put up only fairly good game. The weather was extremely threat ening and In consequence only about 500 persons were present To-dsy's defeat places the visitors in sixth position in the race.

There Will be No Strike on the West
 End Street Hallway in Boston
 What President W hitney Says.
 BOSTON, May 19 Existing differences between the West End Street Railway com pany and the employees have been adjusted amicably, and to the mutual satisfaction of both parties. The contention of the men that the agreement was being violated was deemed justifable, and after a careful statement of the case this morning to President Whitney that gentleman readily agreed to rectify those conditions which had been complained of. There were two material grievances and both of these practically existed without the knowledge of the president. The matter of the difficulty of making time on the cross town line was the principal thing for consideration. The other reiated to the rule which compels men to report at the stable ten minutes before the car leaves, or else be counted a miss and be obliged to run extra. President Whitney said after the conference: "To sum the whole mat ter up, we agreed to accede to all the de- mands presented by the men, as think they were iustn

IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.


 M Balfou UT Moves the Second Read-
 .Ag of the Irish Local Government
 Bill-Many Speeches on the Measure
 and No Result Reached.
 LONDON, May 19.-Comparatively few members were in the house of commons this evening when Mir. Balfour moved the second reading of the Irish local govern ment bill. It is the general belief that the bill will never get further than it's second reading, and there is little real interest taken in it. Thomas Sexton (McCarthyite) made an eloquent speech in moving that the house reject the bill. He declared it impossible to found Q civil government in a regime of coercion. But, taking tke bill as serious, he declared that its provisions were a series of dishonest and shabby e1pe- dients. Mir Sexton criticised MT. Balfour for not explaining the bill in detail.
 The Irish party and parliament had been warned that unless, as a settlement of the to another bill that was expected to be shortly before the house they might be prepared for horrid war. Considering the alternative an- nounced by Lord Salisbury, Mir. Sexton thought MT. Bslfour might have endeavor- ed to show that the Irish local government bill was preferable to all others as remedy for the settlement of the Irish question. He declared that nothing but national legislature would satisfy Ireland.
 Mr. Gladstone, who was present, sp- peared to be delighted at the telling points | in MT, Sexton's criticism.
 Mir. Madden, attorney general for Ire land, made feeble reply. He appealed to MT. Gladstone to say whether he thought the time had come to dispense with the | guarantees which he himself proposed in | 1886 for the minority in Ireland. [Ironic' al opposition cheers. He defended the clause providing for trials by county councils. He thought considerable dark ness hung over home rule. Mir. Labou chere contended that it was not the loca government bill at all.
 The government was putting Hbera label on their policy in order to palm of shoddy wares. It was a monstrous vast
 of time to discuss the second reading 0
 the bill. The days of the government
 were numbered and why should they
 while death was clutching them, squande
 the time of the house. The house listene
 wearily to several minor speeches untl
 the debate finally adjourned.

A Womanss Broken Neck Set-The
 Result Still in Doubt.
 HoLYoKE, Mass, May 10.-The broken neck of Mrs. Ann Williams of this city, who fell down stairs Saturday afternoon, was set this afternoon by Dr. Mahoney with several local physicians as associates. The third and fourth csrvical vsrtebr e were displac- ed to the right and the spinal cord was con siderably strained. Several small facets of bone that serve to lock the vertebrs into place when they are in the natural position had become locked in wrong position. The head was first turned to the right so as to disengage the facets and quick pull and turn to the left brought the opera ton to close. The ultimate result is still in doubt.

 LONDON, May 19.-The last hope of Frederick Bailey Deeming, the wife mur- derer, is gone. The earl of Hopetoun, governor of Victoria, refused to grant a respite to the prisoner, and an appeal was lodged with the registrar of the privy council in Downing street by Wilson & Wallis of Bow street, the solicitors acting in this country on behalf of the convicted man.
 The matter being one of urgent i'm portance the lords of the council were at once summoned to consider the petition. This morning their decision was an nounced. They advised that no leave to appeal from the judgment of the Mel bourne criminal court be granted, and this confirms the sentence of that court that he be hanged
