Thomas Sexton. anti-Parnellite for North
Kerry, asked Mr.. Asquith, home secretary in
the absence of Mr.. Morley, Irish secretary. in
the house of commons last night. whether the
attention Of the government had been directed
to the Belfast riots if so, what measures had
been taken 10 preserve peace. and whether the
speeches OF the eminent politicians who had
lnsugated he riots would be considered bv the
law officers of the crown. Similar conduct of
the Orangemen. on a previous occasion. Mr.
Sexton added, had resulted in the killing of
twenty people The Belfast police apparently
had made no effort to prevent the looting on
Saturday night of the tavern kept by the Catho-
lie Connolly. Would such negligence be toll
Grated by the government?
In reply MIR. Asquith read the official report
OF The rioting in Belfast Sunday and Saturday
/ he facts related corresponded with those
cited BY Mr.. Sexton and already published by
the newspapers.
As regards the speeches of the eminent poll
ticlans, as Mr. Sexton designated Mr.. Balfour
and Lord Randolph Churchill Mr. Asquith ex-
pressed the opinion that they had incurred a
very heavy responsibility by using Incorporate
language directly calculated to incte the bit
terest party strife. The government had taken
every possible step. he said to prevent a re-
currence of tine deplorable demonstra lions in
Belfast and believed that further trouble would
be averted.

THE INCANDESCENT LAMP.
Who Invented 1t Will BE Determined
the Supreme Court.

Who Invented 1t Will Be Determined by
the Supreme Court.
The New York Herald this morning prints
the following:
The claim, = the Edison Electric Companies
to the exclusive right to manufacture incan-
descent lamps received something of setback
in St. Louis, Mo-. last Friday, when Judge
fused to issue injunction to restrain the
Columbia Incandescent Lamp Company from
making them.
At least seven lamp factories nave been re-
strained by injunction from making lamps
lhe Edison companies were preparing to wipe
out the three or four establishments remaining
when the court refused to sustain them in the
Columbia case by rendering a decision that
there was prlma facie case that Henry Goebel
OF New York invented the incandescent lamp
and not Ihos. A. Edison. Until the case is
passed on by the Supreme Court of the United
States the Columbia company. having given a
bond OF S2O.OOO. can go on making lamps.
None of the companies which we're already
under injunction when the decision was rem
dered can resume business unless the courts
that issued them remove the injunctions.. The
claim that Goebel invented the lamp is prac-
ticallv new in the litigation. 1t was first
introduced IN case before Judge Colt in Bos-
ton. Mass. when the Beacon company was re-
strained from making the lamps, but the facts
had been imperfecJlv collected. it is claimed
Since then. however. 222 witnesses have been
found who support Goebels claim and it was
on their testimony that Judge Hallett rendered
his decision. 1t Is now likely that all the cases
Will be reopened upon this testimony.

CORNERS BY THE CUDAHYS,
The Famous Manipulators Looking After
July Wheat.

The Famous Manipulators Looking After
July Wheat.
The Cudahys and others of Chicago who
have been trying to corner May wheat are now
trying to run corner" in wheat for July de-
livery.
They bought over 1000, 900 bushels Of July
wheat last Friday. They bought perhaps
twice as much more Saturday and this morning
they took large share Of the July wheat Of
fered for sale.
Notwithstanding the sudden drop Of May
wheat from 80 to III cents, it is not believed
the manipulators lost heavily. They are cred
tied with having sold 100000 or $4,000 900
bushels at profit Of 2 to cents a bushel, and
Is 600, 600 or 80 600 900 bushels held by them did
not cost them moro than II or 70 cents a
bushel.
TT is generally agreed" said q Spectator
yesterday, THAT the Cudahys are determined
TO keep control Of the market until the price Is
made to show An appreciation in proportion to
the ideas they have formed OF the great short
age which at present threatens the wheat crops
Of the world.
The crop in this country is generally OK.
pected to be 100, 0O0, 900 bushels short Of last
years yield, and on top Of that comes the news
from Europe that the wheat crop there IL
threatened with disaster from the longest con-
tinued spell Of dry weather known in fifty years.
The CudAhys have just finished successfully
q campaign in provisions, based upon similar
convictions with regard to last years scarcity
Of hogs, and are reputed to have divided with
n. X. Fairbank, who was . partner in the deal
$4,000, 900 Of net profit"

NAVAJO CATTLE THIEVES TROUNCED
Lesson Taught Redskins by the Elk Mesa
Cowboys.


Green River (Col) special says the battle
between the Elk Mesa cowboys and the band oil
Navajo cattle thieves was more serious than al
first supposed and the elimination of long
series Of outrages between the young bucks o,
Hoskinini's band.
For three years past, since the Indians were
storced to move their stock OFF Elk Mesa there
have been frequent inroads on the cattlemen.
There were thirty bucks in the band. headed by
Chief Croweseye, which crossed the San Juan
last Sunday night. When word reached the
Knowles outfit they we're out on their horses
roundup and only mustered fourteen men.
The messenger they sent to White Canon for
endorsements was intercepted at Soldier
Crossing. A party headed by Kid johnson had
encountered the Indians driving big bunch of
cattle toward the wash. The scrimmage was
short and disastrous to the COWBOYS. johnson
was fatally wounded and Billy Sawtelle badly
hurt.
Fearing the arrival of reinforcements the
Indians fastened to ford the San Juan north
OF Clay. Wash. johnson and Sawtelle were
carried back to the home ranch The party re-
lntorced pursued the fleeing savages who were
now on their reservation
Another ARRAY occurred, in which two braves
were killed and Jack Blair: half-breed badly
hurt. The COWBOYS recovered nearly all their
stock. The Indians have received lesson
which it is thought they will respect for time
at least

STRANGE SLEEP OF A CHILD.

A FOur-Year-Old Girl SAUNDERS for n Week.
Physicians are puzzled and citizens of Pea
body, Mass, are amazed as to the cause of the
protracted sleep of Nellie, the four year-old
daughter of John Russell, residing at No. 40
English street.
Previous to three weeks ago Nellie had en-
joyed the usual health Of children, and was in
fact, known as an unusually bright and &C tive
child. One week ago last night Nellie was put
to bed by her mother and fell into peaceful
sleep and the chiids slumber has continued
since.
Another strange feature in the cas-, early no.
ticed was that Nellie insens,ble to pain. AS
the jamming of her fingers or twisting of the
wrists caused not the least sensation in her
fragile form.
After the first dav ii was found necessary, in
order to continue life. to furnish the sleeper
with nourishment. This has been given her in a
liquid form, and thus far but little trouble has
been experienced in having her swallow, al
though totally unconscious of the act.

From the New York Sun.
Official news from all over Russia and from
other parts of Europe indicates steady spread
Of cholera. The Russian official returns of
two weeks ago note sixty-ive cases and nine
teen deaths in the town of Orel during the last
week Of March, eighty-four cases and twenty
nine deaths in the province Of Oufa during the
last two weeks Of March, and ten cases and
four deaths in Elisabethpol during the last
week of the month. The cases in other prov
inces, not mentioned in the returns, are re-
ported to be far more numerous. especially in
Podolia and Ssratof. The epidemic has
crossed the Austrian frontier, and small num-
bers OF cases and deaths are noted III one or
two villages. st. Petersburg papers contain
advertisements by the authorities of the PROV
inces Of Samara and Viatka asking doctors for
that region, in view OF an expected epidemic
Of cholera in central Russia. The outlook in
Russia is grave from other causes than
cholera. Most Of the provinces are still suffer-
ing from the effects OF the last two years of
famine and sickness The peasants in Toula
are unable now to feed their sheep, and have
been selling them for seventy-fve copecks
each, although six weeks later they would be
worth four roubles or more. Over sc, 200
have already been sold there for the lower
price.
