his navy have left st. Louis, but only af

before daylight OH Speed by secretly put

Iowa they had something like 40 boats.
Kelly had the advantage of numbers this
morning, and, as the Speed men refused
to vGcate their boats, about 100 of them
were carried off. They acted pcaceably
enough until they got out into mid-
stream, when they cut loose with sixteen
boats and made for the Illinois shore,
carrying about fifty kellyites with them.
They landed somewhere in the vicinity of
East st. Louis, and told the Kellyites to
clear out. This they did, but succeeded
in getting across the Missouri to join
their commander. Col. Speed succeeded
in holding twelve other botas, and as
kelly's forces have been recruited by
200 since he landed he was not able to
get all his forces OH board the boats.
So he remained behind and marched
down Broadway to Carondolet, where he
Joined his naval forces. The navy dropped
slowly down the river to Nagle avenue,
where they landed to cook breakfast.
Col. Speed remained at the camp with
part of his men and will depart later,
going overland, and selling his boats ON
the East side, if possible.

The Senate Resumes collaboration
of the Sugar Schedule.

of the Sugar Schedule.
Washington, June 4.-The senate to-
cay resumed consideration of the sugar
schedule, and several speeches were made
for and against the tariff bill. The dis
crssion has already proceeded for the
utmost time that Democratic senators
would admit before the debate was begun
would be neces sary to reach a verdict
to-day or tomorrow, while others assert
that there are contingencies which may
pestLone the disposition of the schedule
rEti: the latter part of the week. Among
other lices of policy which have been
considered among the opponents of the
bill is that of allowing the sugar schedule
to be accepted as amended by the COM
mittee on finance without taking any
vote on the schedule in committee of th..
whole, the object being that the op-
pcnents of the bill shall not be forced to
show their hands at this time, and espe-
cially that they may refrain from ex-
hibiting their supposed strength among
Democrats and Populist senator's. SEN
ator Harris adheres to his determination
TO ask the senate to prolong its daily
sessions into the evening, beginning with
to-day.
The state bank tax bill was under dis
cussion by the house to-day. The Ques-
tion has been debated until the leaders
are anxious for vote. But the debate
has shown the state bank men that they
are liable to be defeated by inability ia
agree on any one of the many plans dis
cusscd. As the state bank principle was
incorporated in the Democratic national
platform the leaders are 10th to see. the
bill defeated. so that caucus to-day OF
tomorrow may be called for the pur.
pose of formulating party measure
which will command united support. II
is probable that the final vote on the till
will be taken early in the week unless
the whole question is allowed to go over
until caucus committee can fir, le a
satisfactory bill.

A TRADE FROM lyman.
Synopsis of the Book Written BY
fhe Nannns I'm 1.s1

synopsis of the Book Written By
the Famous "No. l."
New York, June 4-The Associated
Press has obtained from the World ad-
vence proofs of the sensational book upon
Irish affairs, written by p. ]. lyman, the
Irish Invincible, more generally known
as Number l." The book referred to
is entitled Irish National Invincibles and
Their Mmes," and it's apparent purpose
is to establish beyond IL doubt the con-
nection of the "Invincibles" with the
Irish parliamentary party. On the other
hand it is asserted by some lrishmen
that Mr.. Tynan's book was written III
order to further the campaign Of Lord
Salisbury and the Tory party, and that
it is simply campaign literature from the
Conservative camp. In fact it is stated
that even at this time, before the book
is supposed to have been seen by more
then few friends of the author, copious
extracts from it have been made and that
millions of circulars calling attention to
Mr.. Tynan's book have been printed
ready for distribution to English voters
upon the dissolution of parliament. The
Irish parliamentary party publicly de-
ncrnced the authors of the Phoenix Park
crimes, and in so doing it is claimed by
Mr.. lyman they We're Sailing under
false colors to betray the trusting Irish. ~
For this" says Mr.. lyman in his intro
ductory chapter, land for the purpose of
exposing their hypocrisy, this book was
undertaken" The Irish parliamentary
party is declared to have been cognizan,
of and party to the Phoenix Park as
sassinations. Parnell and Gladstone arc
denounced.
