London, March 22.-One Of the lvell-
est scenes witnessed in the house or
commons since the palmiest days of the
Irish Nationals ended yesterday after
noon in the suspension of John Dillon.
During the discussion of South Afrl-
can affairs Mr.. Chamberlain referred to
the Boers who are fighting on the Brit
fish side, when John Dillon Qrish Ma
tionalist) interjected:
"rhey are traitors!"
On which Mr.. Chamberlain retorted:
1.-THE honorable gentleman is good
Judge of traitors"
A scene of great confusion ensued.
When order was partially restored Mr..
Dillon demanded a ruling on Mr.. Cham
berlain's words The speaker said:
"An honorable member spoke of SOL
diers serving under the British flag as
traitors. depricate the interruption
and I depricate the retort of the other
member"
Mr.. Dillon then said:
Il will tell the right honorable gen.
tleman that he is damned liar"
A dead silence followed this remark.
Such supplementary language seemed
to stun the house. He declined to with
draw the expression, and on motion OF
Mr.. Balfour he was suspended-24S to
SO.
Mr.. Dillon Immediately, by direction
of the speaker, left the house amid
wild Nationalist cheers, and Mr.. Cham
beriain resumed his speech.

capital of the State Of Bermudez.
Gen. Velutini. the Venezuelan minis
Ter of the interior, has been dispatched

The Venezuelan government is send

Riera and prevent the junction of his
troops with the ::evolutionists in the
Barquisimeto district.
1t is reported that Gen. Rolando has
landed at Maturin, in the State of Ber-

the cable to Barcelona, and, conse-
quently, the Venezu eian government is
without news from Carupano.
The situation is SAID to be critical for
President Castro. The Venezuelan
fleet is not in condition to pursue the

Castro to capture her have failed.

Pierre Reports Big Rise I'm the Mis-
souri,.
Chamberlain, S. D.. March 22.-Water
began rising in the Missouri river at
about o'clock last evening and had in
creased about two feet at o'clock,
since which time it has been practically
stationary, with moderate current.
AS the weather was very warm yester-
day there is nothing in this increase
but what might be easily accounted for
by the melting of ice and snow in the
river bed and snow tributary to the
river, and it is not believed that the
g, eat gorge has given away. The five
foot rise reported from Pierre will un-
doubtedly destroy the gorge and some
time to-day a large flood should reach
this point.
