\ DISGRACEEI1I, SCENE

Richmond, Va, March 4.-Senator
Flood entered the senate chamber this
afternoon and walking up to Senator
Flanagan belabored him over the head
with a cane, inficting painful wound.
The assault caused much excitement.
Flood was arrested and bailed. The
assault was provoked by the fact that
Flanagan, day or two ago, said on the
i'oor that Flood had falsfied him.
Later-The condition of Senator Flana-
gan is unfavorable tonight. His physi-
clans fear there is concussion of III.
brain. They say it can not be definitely
known within the next - hours what tbc
result VIII be, He has been delirious for

AUTuORITATIVELY DENIED

Washington, March 5.-FrOm n source,
the accuracy of which can not be qucs-
toned, the report that Minister Dupuy
de LONE has telegraphcd his government
that President Cleveland will refuse, as
long as he is president, either to recognize
the rebels or intervene in the Cuban
question, can he safely denied.
Statements of II similar nature have
heretofore been published.
The foundation for the statement prob
able arose from an interview with Min
lister De LONE, quite extensively pub
lished in this country, and portions of
which have, no doubt, found their way to
Madrid.

Valencia, March 5-The disorders
which were prevalent here when the news
was first received of the action Of the
United States senate on the Cuban ques-
ton, broke out afrcsh today and there
were renewed demonstrations Of hostility
to the United States.
The mob made its way to the United
States consulate, which was stoned and
the windows of which were smashed by
the Infatuated people.
MAY HASTEN ACTION.
Washington, March 5.--Thc late hour
Mt which the reports Of the disorders to-
day in Valencia were received made it
impossible to learn whether any official
information had been received here in
regard to the trouble.
The attack will no doubt create re-
newed Indignation in congressional cir
,cles, and may have the effect of hasten
ing action on the Cuban resolutions
when the conference report is taken up
in the senate on Monday.
The university here has been closed UNI
der orders from the government, as it was
feared that the students meeting would
be hot bed for breeding disorders. But
this measure proved unavailng, and the
police have been kept busy dispensing stu
dents gatherings nearly all day.
Several attempts were made by disOr-
DERBY paraders to make their way to the
United States consulate, but they were
frustrated, ms the authorities had receiv
ed special orders to be on the look out for
any demonstration against the property
of the United States.
Special protection was afforded the
building in which the American consuls
Office il located. The mob gathered be-
fore the building before the police were
aware Of what was occurring, and stones
began to fly from the crowd with the re-
suit that windows were broken. The
crowd were cheered on by sympathizcrs in
the streets. and from the neighborng
houses. The police lost no time in charg-
ing the rioters and the mob was speedily
dispersed, the missiles being flung almost
while those that threw them were tax
ing flight. There was no violence indulg-
ed in in other parts of the city, the demon
STATIONS being confined to noisy clamor,
cries of derision against the United States
government and attempts to make
speeches. The orators were not allowed

the defcnces. A Dacian or Hungarian
deserter, named Urban, produced ord
nance of incredible size; the bone
being yard in diameter and the ball
weighing 1900 pounds. 1t took go
oxen TO draw the brazen monster and
that over smoothed road, whilst hun
dreds Of men assisted to put it in posi-
tion. Constantine, the last Caesar,
representing the rank and spirit as we'll
as the name of the first, had hut 5000
soldiers to stand by him, yet proved
himself real hero, determined that
misfortune, il it came, should be
shrouded in glory. After withstanding
the attack for 40 days tho Greeks almost
believed their enemies would retreat.
10 the great leader, Mohammed, the
capture of the city seemed hopeless
unloss he could attack by sea as we'll as
by land. But the golden horn was
protected by iron chains and these de-
Tended by ships and gallies, so that it
was impossible to force an entrance
into the harbor. The genius of the
Sultan. aided by his myriads of men,
however, prevailed. He made smooth
road for six miles from the mouth OF
the Bosphorous, around the southern
and western walls, covered 1t with solid
planks, Amounted these with the fat of
animals and then drew 80 vessels from
the water, set them upon rollers, hoisted
tho sails and by the aid Of wind, pullies
and sinews, carried the feet up the
hills and over the plain, and amidst
songs aud acclamations launched them
down the declivity under the inner
walls of the city. Assisted by his
ships the Mohammedan built and
anchored great floating battery for
his cannon, and drawing his galies
close to the shore, on their decks placed
scaling ladders to assail the walls.
Thirteen days more, till the Goth of
May, were sufficient to end the siege.
The last night was a wakeful and
anxious scene. amidst weeping and en-
bracing. Early in the morning Con
stantine and the few faithful, who still
stand by his side, prepare for what
proves the last days battle. In the
church OF st. Sophia, the Emperor,
with tears and prayers, receives the
Lords Supper, then, after reposing a
few moments in the palace he takes
the place where the King ought to be.
Not bullet or dart is wasted by
the Christians against this wild throngs
pressing up against wall and rampant,
who fight till strength and weapons
are alike exhausted, In the midst of
the laundering noise, through smoke
and slaughter and overheaps of the
slain, the lanizaries climb the walls
and towers, making the very soul of
the battle. The Emperor, doing duty
as a general and private soldier, with
his few followers holds the ground for
moment; but overwhelming numbers
prevail and whilst calling for Chris
tian weapon to end his life, the hero
falls by an unknown hand, the piles of
slain Moslems witnessing 10 his un.
availing valor.

nothing had happened F."
1t was learned that there had been
no changes among men in Off

bility that any changes will be made.
From what can be CLEANED among

have determined to even improve the
accommodations which the road has
been offering the public. 1t Is be-
lieved that the rolling stock will re

is current TO the effect that new cars

1t is not likely that there will be any
changes in Wilmington, with the pos

which have been needed for some time.
Necessity may demand this addition.
