BLOWS AND BLACK EYES.
DisorderIy Scene in the House
of Commons.

LONDON, July 27.-On the government
programme 10 O'Clock this evening was
the hour set for closure OF debate in
committee on the home rule bill. Parts
OF the bill left over for discussions of
last week and for divisions this evening
were new financial clauses, schedules
and preamble. The galleries of tho
house were filled with persons exnech.
ant OF an exciting scene at the close Of
the committees labors. Few members
were absent from the benches on the
floor Of the house.
OBSCURE members continued debate
until 9:45 or just fifteen minutes before
closure was to be applied. Then 10.
seph Chamberlain rose to deliver the
hnal broadside Of the opposition. He
was still smarting under the lash which
Gladstone swung on Tuesday evening.
anu ne spoke with corresponding bit.
terness. After few scorchful and Bit
ing words as to conduct of Nom bers he
began giving his opinion of closure as
applied by the government. Members.
he saids were about to witness the last
scene in discreditable farce Debate
on the financial clauses had been a
mere sham. The government had
stood over friend and foe alike ready to
let fall the gillotine without regard for
justice or constitutional rights.
He then proceeded thus: THE
prime minister calls "black" and his
adherents say it is good. the prime
minister calls white" and thew saw
1t Is better. 1t is always the voice of
God. Never since the time OF Herod
has there been such" -
Chamberlain got no further. Imme-
diately after resuming his speech he
had been warned by the muttering,
from the Irish benches that a storm
was gathering. He could hardly have
expected the suddenness with which It
broke for with his half finished refer
ence to Herod there came from the
natlonalists such a roar OF Indignation
as has not been heard in the house
since the days of Parnell.
L. +. OConnor sprang to his feet and
leaning towards Chamberlain, shouted
Judas" SO loudly that the epithet
could be heard throughout the house.
The rest of the Irishmen took up the
cry and half minute shouted "Judasn
In chorus. Meantime the clock struck
ten, Chairman Miller tried to put clo-
sure, but his voice could not be heard
amid shouts of Irish and unionisrs,
when came scene unprecedented in
parliamentary history.
Iho excitement grew until the house
became Donnybrook fair. Members
came to blows, and black ewes. torn
clothing and smashed hats were
plentiful. The chairman and EMPLOYEES
were powerless to quell the disord or for
a considerable time FINALLY Sneaker
Peel was sent for and the house uuieted
down.

Killed the Wrong Man.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 27.-A
special from Tarpen Springs says:
Before daylight this morning masked
men approached the house of Bud
Stephenson and fired at him through an
open window as he lay in bed. The
shots missed him, but instantly killed
Henry Osteen, who was watching with
Stephenson. Stevenson Is the man who
killed Marshal Whitehurst last Fourth
OF July, and he has been in preca,ious
condition ever since from wounds re.
ceived in that fracas.

OLYMPIA, March 20.-[SpeciaL 1-Assist.
ant Attorney General Haight will report
to Gov. McGraw tomorrow that the state
has an unquestioned right to all Of the
capitol. site except . small frac-
ton, and that ~ to such frac-
ton it has an equitable title.
Edmund Sylvester. the donation claimant,
on whose land the original townsite Of
Olympia was plated, decided the capitol
site t0the territory in 1854 BY deed of
bargain and sale. In 1853 Sylvester exc
cuted warranty deeds to certain parcels of
his claim, supposing all Of such parcels to
be south of the capitol grounds, but which
were found upon the survey Of their
boundaries to overlap the tract decided to
the territory.
As the subsequent requirement Of COM
plete title by Sylvester by the issuance Of
patent gave to the grantees under the
warranty deeds legal title to the doubly
conveyed area, leaving the territory
the owner of the equitable interest
under its deed of bargain and sale
without warranty. the outstanding
legal title clouds the title Of the
state. Ten parties have . share in the
legal title, but nearly all of them are ready
to execute quit claim deeds. Two or three
were not in the state, but if deeds cannot
be secured from them, their nominal in
terest can be condemned BY tho state
whenever the legislature so directs. They
are not entitled to compensation, the
state being the real owner Of tho land in
question.
