The condition of affairs in Ireland is
most deplorable. The worst foe Ireland
has is the spirit OF rivalry between lead
ers; and II is a singular fact that some CT
the most bitter comments upon Irish char

Irishmen themselves. The selfshness of

just now a feeling that the best efforts to

A stormy Session of the Italian
Chamber of Deputies.

stormy session OF the ltnI1an
Chamber of Deputies.
Rome, July 3O.-To-days sitting of the
Chamber Of Deputies was an extremely
stormy one.
In the course of the debate Of the bud
get Signor Imbriani, the leader of the
radicals, made a bitter attack upon the
grants for the maintenance Of the royal
household.
He was frequently interrupted by pro-
testing deputies, and in the latter part
of his speech was drowned by cheers
for the king.
Afterwards in the debate on the items
in the budget appropriating money for
the ministry of the interior Signor Ven
DENIM, a radical, declared that the ex-
treme left would not discuss the budget
of a minister who was under charges and
undergoing trial for irregularities, If for
nothing worse.
Several members Of the majority angrily
protested against Sgnor Vendemini's Ian
guage and Premier Crispi twice shouted,
Infamous"
The radical and socialist deputies were
finally shouted down, and finding them
selves powerless against the majority, the
members of those parties, with the single
exception OF Signor Bovio, socialist,
walked out of the chamber.

Remarks Which She Declares Untrue
the Basis of Her Suit.


Richmond, Va. July SO.-Somewhat of a
sensation has been created here by the
fact that Miss Louisa Gibson, saleslady
in the dry goods house Of Miller & Rhoads,
has begun suit for $4,000 damages against
Thomas G.. Todd and wife. Mr.. Todd and
wife are Jealous members of the Grace
street Baptist church. of which Rev. w
E. Hatcher is pastor. The plaintiff will
allege that few months ago Mrs. Todd
and two other ladies went to Miller &
Rhoads and told the firm that Miss Glib
son had made a statement that reflected
upon Mrs. Hatcher's way of dealing with
stores; that the ladies demanded the dis
charge of Miss Gibson, and that Messrs.
Miller & Rhoads reluctantly asked for and
received her resignation.
The plaintiff denies that she ever uttered
a word that reflected in any manner upon
Mrs. Hatcher's method of dealing with
stores, and declares that she never has
heard anything of the sort attributed to
herself stated by any one.
