ing a movement for the holding of an
International exhibition in Dublin.
Men of ali classes, creeds and politics
met for the common purpose of doing
what they could to better the condition
of the country, and, by unanimous res
olution, that great meeting decided to
hold an international exhibition in Dub

Following the precedent of exhibitions

decided to raise a guarantee fund, and

Several causes, the principal Of which
was the Difficulty of obtaining a suitable

yerance of those connected with the
movement, Were finally overcome, and the
exhibition will be opened in May.

A grave scandal, to which the Roman

mark the departure from Rome of sec

Quirinal.
The guests, thirty in number. assembled
after midnight at popular night resort
of the capital, and Included, besides vari-
Gus secretaries ana attaches belonging
to the Embassies aud Legations accredit-
ed to both the Quirinal and the Vatican,
a number OF aristocratic "viveurs' and

All went merrily until the champagne
was brought on, when certain freedom

the effects OF a handful of salt which had
been thrown in her eyes, retaliated by
striking one of her aggressors on Nthe
head With a Water-DOtlle. Inc WOUNDED

Embassy to the Vatican, fell unconscious

Professor Alazzoni, the late Pope Leo's
surgeon, apprehends a fatal result, as the
injured diplomats frontal bone Is frac-

NJ Reboul,,.a Gaa.iief at a large firm of
carmen, was surprised on Thursday to see
four men, armed with revovers, enter his
Office. He was getting ready the wages OF
his men. and when he attempted to give
an alarm the Apaches threatened TO shoot
him dead He was forced TO give them the
amount of the wages-about $50.
M. Ricolvi, another cashier, who was in
the habit OF taking home with him the
days proceeds of his firm, was shot dead
at the door OF his house.
Numbers of young hooligans are permit
ted to parade the streets armed with re-
yolvers and knives. with the result that
citizens in seif-defense are obliged TO walk
abroad, even III the main streets, armed
TO the teeth. Shots are exchanged With n

Disastrous Results.

Bakersfield, Cal July 3.-The Beuna
Vista Lake levee has broken, flooding
10000 acres of land belonging to Mil
Ter and Lux and the Levee Land Com
pany. and causing s1,O00,O0O damage.
The Sunset Railway has been put out
Of commission and the oil fields are
cut off from communication with this
city.
The levee held back the waters of
Buena Vista Lake, covering 10 square
miles. and protected a body of reclaim
ed land extending fifteen miles includ-
ing the old bed of Kern Lake. This
land was covered with growing grain.
It will be days before the water reced-
es so that the Sunset way can be pass
ed and traffic resumed. This means
a cessation Of shipments OF oil from
the Sunset region.
On the land flooded about $4,000
acres belong to the Kern COuny Land
Company and 5000 to Miller and Lux.
The levee was built in 1867 jointly
by the two corporations at a cost of
S250,000 and last year it was strength
