BRITISH COMMONS RIVALS AMER
IcAN SENATE.
SCENE OF GREAT CONFUSION
The Lie Passed During Debate on
Conduct Of the War In
South Africa.

London, March 20.-One Of the
iveliest scenes witnessed in the
house OF commons since the palmiest
days of the Irish nationalist movement
ended this afternoon in the suspen-
sion of John Dillon.
During discussion of South African
affairs the liberal leader, Sir Henry
ampbell-Bannerman, criticised the
ministers conduct Sin unttering ma
lignant SANDERS" in reference to lib

In the course of a reply Colonial
Minister Chamberlain referred to
Beers who were fighting on the Brit
ish side, when John Dillon Qrish ma
tionalist} interjected: "They are
traitors" On which Chamberlain
reiterated: "The honorable gentle
man is a good judge of traitors
A scene of great confusion ensued.
When order was partially restored
Dillon demanded a ruling on Chamber
lains' words.
The speaker said: "The honorable
member spoke Of soldiers serving un-
der the British flag as traitors. L

deprecate the retort of the other men,

Dillon then said: II will tell the
right honorable member that he is
damned liar"
Dead silence followed this remark,
such unparliamentary language seem
ed to stun the house.
The speaker invited Dillon to with
draw the expression but the latter
said: II will not withdraw"
FThen must name. you," said the
speaker.
Government leader A. ]. Balfour
then said, II beg to move that Dillon
be suspended from service in the
house."
The motion was carried by 24S to
4S votes. Dillon Immediately by di-
rection of the speaker left the house
amid wild national cheers and Cham
berlain resumed his speech.
Dillon's suspension under The pres
ent rules cannot exceed week. His
offense would have, been much more
severely dealt with had the new rules
been in force.

Five Directors of Concern Were Re.

From Sale of Diamonds.

Minneapolis, March 20.-Judge Nc
Gee in an order filed today dissolved
the Tontine Saving association, a con-
cern that sold diamonds on the Ton
tine plan, The charter Of the asso-
citation is declared forfeited and Geo.
P. Flannery appointed receiver to

Judge McGee in memorandum ac-
companying the decision, shows that
when the company reorganized in
1898 there was practically deficit
of $23,52O, since then the concern has
done an enormous business. 80 per
cent of which was outside of the state.
Up to December last the court states
the deficit had increased to 1922, ,29O.
Should the growth of the association
continue at the same rate as during
the past three years the result would
be immense. At the steady increase
of 60 per cent year, in IS years the
amount necessary to redeem outsand-
ing contracts would be $1SO00,OOO, 900,
and in SO years the whole wealth of

fire on them. The robbers returned
the fire, using both revolvers and Win

emptied two re%volvers before he was
killed, although it is believed that he
