thrown into the crowd during the Corpus
Christi procession today and its explosion
resulted in the killing of six persons and
the injury of fifty. The perpetrators of
the deed is as yet unknown and his mo-

The news of the throwing of a bomb
into the procession spread like wildfire
over the city and caused a panic among
the great crowds drawn to the streets by
the religious festival and the Sunday mer-
ry-making usual to the city.
The explosion occurred just as the Cor
pus Christi procession was entering the
beautiful and ancient church of Santa
Maria Delmar. This is one of the most
thickly populated quarters of the popu-

and the distressed cries of the injured
and the friends of the killed caused an in
describable panic among the great crowd
in the procession and lookers-on. The

others being thrown, and it was with diff

two disgruntled Populists.

The Mischief Was Done by Viscount
TempIeton Who Asked That All
Improvements go to the
Landlord.

London, August 6.-The government
suffered a defeat in the House of Lords
to-day, where the Irish land bill was
being considered in the committee
stage. The amendment of Viscount
Templeton asking that the several
classes of each holding should be as
certained, and that the fair rent should
be based on the assumption that all
the Improvements were made or ac-
quired by the landlord
The government refused to accept
the amendment, but it was adopted by
the House of Lords, 1877 ayes to 67 noes.
The defeat of the government spread
dismay among the ministerial members
of the House of Commons, who were
listening to the debate and they rush
ed back to the Lower House in order
to announce the defeat.
1t is the general belief this evening
that the defeat of the government
means the abandonment of the Irish
land bill.
Numbers of Irish landlords besieged
the House of Lords in endeavors TO
interview particular peers on the SUBJ
ject.
The House of Lords finally adjourn
ed at midnight.
1t is understood that when the Irish
land bill returns to the House of Com
mons the government will there move
to disagree to the various peers
amendments which were carried
against the government tonight.
Should the Lords then persist in main
tanning their amendments there will be
no alternatMe for the government but
to drop the bill
Timothy Haly and John Dillon al
ready regard the bill as dead unless
the government shall make a strong
effort to undo the mischief done by
the House of Lords tonight.
