BLOAV AT THE LORDS. Significant Action in the British House o/ Commons. liONPON, March 14. Continuing the debate last night in the house of com mons on the address. Mr. John Mo:ley, chief secretary for Ireland, iusisted thit there could be no injury to Ireland through a temporary suspension of the borne rule hill. If he had s ipp< se 1 that ; the reconstituted ministry would not ba , accorded its views on the Irish question, he would not be a member of that minis- I try. (Cheers.) Home rule, he said, had neither been delayed nor abandoned, but would take its place in the course of sequence as hail been arranged prior to Mr. Gladstone's retirement. As to the Irish party with drawing its support from the government he WHS happy to say there were no signs of any such disastrous and misch vo is event. There could be no mistake in the minds of any one who had read tin speech made in the house of lords yesterday by Lord Rosebery that ho meant to d" all in his power to achieve home rule, besides reducing the heuse of lords to it s proper place as the legislative organ it is now recognized to be in the min is of the Eng lish people. Mr. John Redmond, Pnrnellite, said 1 that never during his experience in par liament had a more iliflicult and humilia ting task fallen upon a chief secretary for Ireland than the present one, which put him up to try by the strength of his own character as a genuine friend of Ireland to remove the impression created by the halting and lambiguous phras-sof Lord Rosebery. Whatever Mr. M >r ley might say, he declared, Ireland would not trust Lord Ro-ehery. He (Redmond) repudiated Lor 1 Rose bery's doctrine thut an English majority was necessary for the passage of homo rule. The theory was insulting and humiliating to Ireland, who, alone, had j the right to decide. if Lord Rosebery's doctrine was right the lords had the power to continue to throw out home rule or any otiier mea sure the house of commons might pass. I If that right belonged to the house of lords through privilege of birth, tnen, he declared, Great Britain would ring with the cry for its abolition. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain said the union ists were satisfied with the adhesion of ' the government to their old policy, as it gave a definite issue on which to meet them on all sides. Everybody, he thought, ought to be satisfied except, perhaps, Air. Lubouchere, who was going about like Diogenes with his lantern, looking for an honest friend. Mr. Labouchere retorted that ho cared nothing übout the sneers of defecting radicals. His constituents, he said, had given him their mandate an I he intended to fulfil it by moving an amendment to the address that the power now enjoyed by persons not elected to parliament through the usual franchise, yet were able to prevent the passage of bills, shall cease. (Cheers) Mr. Labouchere said that he was one of the many who were dissatisfied with the manner in which the liberal party had been transferred to its new leader. What, he asked, had they been engaged in throughoutjthe evening, except discus sing the words used by Lord Rosebery in the house of lords. Personally, as a su premely simple person (laughter), he gave those words their plain meaning. Therefore, he concurred with Mr. Red mond in saying that the position of home rule had been entirely changed by tin remarks of Lord Rosebery Monday (cries of "no! no!"). What, he asked, were the facts? Did he understand that home rule depended upon an English majority in its favor? If that were the fact why had the time of the last session been wasted over a bill that did not yet have a British majority? Why, be inquired, should the house of lords he consulted on the question of home rule? Mr. Gladstone had declared that home rule was the absolute right of Ireland without reference to a majority of the united kingdom. For Lord Hose bery to say that home rule could not be granted until it had an English majority was a distinct retrogression of party policy. (Cheers from the Irish benches.) j His constituents had given him a positive mandate that if there was no declaration in the queen's speech in favor of home rule, or no distinct announcement that the cabinet meant to fight against the i house of lords he must move an amend ment to the address, regarding the lords, and why should he hesitate? (Cheers). There could not possibly be a worse body of men to perform what were the sup posed duties of the second chamber, than the present lords, lie, for one, was tired of pouring sound radical liquor into a vat with a bung, like Ix>rd Salisbury, ready to let it all out. (Laughter), It was said that object lessons like the lords were required by the country. The radicals had had enough of these object lessons and were now ready to go in and fight to crush the house of lords. (Cheers). The existing state of things was intoler able. lie favored the absolute abolition of the house of lords, but was still ready to accept a paralysis of their veto power. He couldn't for a moment suppose that lords themselves would prefer abolition to being kept like rooks in a rookery simply to sit and caw and complain. (Laughter.) Mr. Lahouchere then moved an amend ment to the address that the power now en joyed by persons who were not elected to parliament by the usual process of the franchise, yet who are able to preveut the passage of bills, shall cease. Sir William Hareourt, chancellor of the exchequer, opposed the amendment iu an impressive speech, taking the ground that a measure of such grave character ought to he taken only after the most serious deliberation. When the division was taken 147 mem bers voted in favor of the Lahouchere amendment and 145 against it. There was much excitement in the lobbies after the announcement of the vote. The divi sion was moved purposely during the din ner hour, when one half of the members were absent. Mr. Lahouchere was con gratulated ou his victory and was chalX ingly asked when he would undertake the formation of a ministry. The major ity of the ministerialists do not disap prove Mr. Lahouchere'M victory, but they are perplexed over the government's de feat. In looking up precedents it has been found that the only way of getting rid of an amendment like Mr. Lahou chere's is by having the house vote on the address as aw hole. Crokor "Will Buy a Hunch.

Ralph, in his official report on the wr rld's fair, says: At the opening oi the Irish village there was one essen Hal tiling lacking to make the "Bl.rney Castle" a counterpart of the original structure in Irelund, and that was the "Blarney stone." '1 he manager, desirous of endowing the visitors with an opp r tunity for becoming famous spouters, HP j cured a limestone paving block front the streets in the city of Chicago which was , placed in the walls of the castle, where it remained during the balance of the : fair, and was kissed by at Last 2F>OOO people, a fee of W cents apiece being ; charged. At the close of the fair the J manager of the village desired to take j the stoii-ii.nl exhibit it in a store in the , city of Chicago, but was informed that ' he could not do so unless he made a con- j sumption entry on the same and paid the duty. This was done, and on November 21, 1893, I delivered the stone on a duty paid pernrt. Both the inspector in charge of the village and myself remained in ig norauce of the history of the "B n-ney skpne" until January 23, 1894, believing up to that time that it was imported in 'case No. 97, serial 4,099." The invoice on which consumption entry was paid nad as follows: * One piece of stone from Blarney, county Cork, Irelaud, value, $500." FORTUNE BURIED. Sensational Story in Connection wltli the Minneapolis Bunk Robbery. M 1 N N KAPOLIB, Mill n., March 13.—The Floyd brothers, whose sensational trial has been the talk of Minneapolis for two weeks past and who were found guilty of complicity in the famous steal of Phil Scheig from the Bank of Minneapolis, were seen at the county jail by a United Press reporter, and in talking of the case made the startling statement that Phil Sbeig had $50,000 buried in the neighbor hood of Chicago. From 1888 to 1892 L u Floyd says Shieg spent about $50,000, and from 1N92 to the time of his capture he did not spend over $23,000. Sbeig placed his total stealings at $123,287.40, leaving according to Lou, a balance of $50,000 to be accounted lor. Sheig emphatically de nies that he lias any money planted and says that he lias spent all the money lie stole, while Lou adds that when Sbeig comes out of Stillwater he will again roll in wealth. The Floyd boys are making the best of their conviction ami taking matters as philosophically as possible, j Mrs. Floyd refuses to be separated from them and lies on a cot in the cage room j at the county jail, moaning hysterically. Ii is understood that a strong effort will bu made to obtain a new trial for the boys and that other matters concerning S.ieig's past life will be gone into, which will make the trial very sensational. ELECTRIC LIGHT IN WAR Searchlights to bo Mounted on Forti fications for Coast liufcii.se. WASHINGTON, March 13.—The ordnance bureau of the army has decided to use 1 lie electric light as a means of coast de fense, and in about a month experiments will he made at the Sandy Hook proving ground to determine what class of light is best suited for the purpose.

CIRCI.KD AIIOUNI) TIIIO SHIP. Steamer Castilllau Prince Narrowly Escapes from Waterspouts. NEW YORK, March 13. —Capt. Coull, of I the British steamship Castillian Prince, just arrived from Havana, states that on March 9, while off Cape Hattoras, three large y ater-sponts appeared, passing very close to the vessel. " I never was so near one before," he said. "The one which passed nearest to the vessel made a beau tiful appearance, looking like two largo funnels, one inverted under the other; or, rather, like a large hour-glass reaching from t he sky to the ocean, and approached j us so closely that I feared it would hurst ' over the vessel and crush us with the im mense weight of water it contained, but fortunately the wind caused it to circle completely around us. It finally broke about a quarter of a mile astern of us, the water falling with tremendous force and churning the sea into a foam for a considerable distance. The othe-s passed away from the vessel at a distance and wo were greatly relieved when wo saw the last of them." Testing a New Small Arm. NEWPORT, R.

HOPELESS SAVAGERY. Bloodthirsty Indians in Venezuela Will Probably Ro Exterminated. ' WASHINGTON*, March 13.— The AN eri ! can consul at Mnracaibo reports to t> { state department that t: e Moti lone u | diaiifl, who are noted as the most burb tr ' ous people on the American continent, have resumed atrocities on the river Catatumho, in Venezuela, to such an extent /is t drive civilized persons from the rieh districts which have recently been settled, and no alternative seems to remain but for the government to inau gurate a war of extermination, showing no quarter without regard t > age or sex. However bloodthirsty this method may appear in this enlightened century, it is thought no other will solve the problem. These savages have proven utterly unsus ceptible to civilizing influences, and no recourse is left but to treat them as ord.n ary beasts of prey. They have occasion ally disappeared in the depths of the for ests f r a year or two only to return with almost incredible fury and destroy the new settlements that had been starte 1 in their absence, practicing the most hor rible cruelties and leaving no vestigi of the pioneer posts except the mutilated bodies of their victims.

Then began a si res of petty quarrels that ended in the stab bing affray. Moore called F. ster into his room and attacked him with a knife, trying to stab him in the tnroat Mis. Foster came to the rescue and pushed Mo re into the corridor, lock ng the door. Moore .called out: "I meant to kill you and am sorry 1 failed," and then ran down stairs and from the house.

TAKEN From a MAN Arrested ON a Street in New York. YORK, March 13—At about 3:80 o'( lock a. m. policeman Conuers whi e at ; Ft. Nicholas avenue, crossing laoth st r" t, noticed two men acting in a suspicious manner. One of the men carried a bundle under his arm. They were conversing in low tones when C >n nors made a dart for the man with the bundle and grabbod him by the collar. 1 lie other man dashed away in the darkness. The man whom Couriers held tried to pass the bundle to the other man before he ran. but was prevented from doing so by the policeman. Con mr3 took his prisomjf to the station h use where he gave his name as John Kelly, 50 years old, and his address as j 583 Grand street. The bundle was laid upon the ser geant's desk. When the latter unrolled ! the piece of newspaper he staggere I hack and nearly fell off his chair with horror. | The package contained nine loaded paper dynamite cartridges and three dynamite I bombs. The latter were pieces of gas pipe about three inches in diametef, : about a foot and a half long, and were | riveted with bolts at the ends. They I were hound tightly together by wire, and from the end of which a long luse pro truded. An expert, nfter looking at the bombs, declared that they were fully chargd and that there was sufficient dynamite in j them to blow up a block of houses. He I said the fuses had been so arranged that 1 when they were ignited it would have ; taken th in about six minutes to have reached the deadly dynamite. It was i said that each of the paper cartridges ' contained enough dynamite to blow down an ordinary house. BltlGGS* GHOST.

Kio I,K JANEIRO, March 14.—The govern ment l roes begin active operations ngainst the insurgents ut noon yesterday, the forty-eight hours' notice g.ven by President Peixoto having expired. The hill-top batteries opened fire at 3 p. m. No reply was made by the insurgents. The government vessels entered the harbor at 5 o'clock, but did uot found Forts Villegaignon and Cobras abandoned by the insurgents. The fleet was greeted with cheers from thousands of people on the liill tops ami with salutes from all the government forts. The in surgent ships meanwhile hid themselves among the merchant vessels lying in the bay. Officials Astounded at the Latest News from Brazil. WASHINGTON, March W. Secretary Gresham received a long cipher dispatch ; from Minister Thornps n last night Hay ing that President Peixoto had refused the terms of surrender proposed by Ad miral da Gumu and that the forts had opened lire on the insurgents with a de termination to force them into uncondi tional surrender. The filial revised translation of the dis patch WUH given us fallows: "The forts loyal to the government commenced fir ing on the insurgents to-day (Tuesday) at noon. The insurgents have not r /-turned the fire. The government has refused the terms of capitulation offered by da Cama and announces that it will c mimence firing from the city batteries ut 3 o'clock this (Tuesday) afternoon. "The city of Kio is practically deserted." Secretary Gresham ami his advisers were literally astounded by the iuforma j lion. Although the dispatches received i Monday night from Minister Thompson 1 : suHired considerably in transmission, or else in putting them into the cipher at Kin, enough was learned from those pans which were decipherable to justify the in! rpretation placed on the n that da Gumn had onsen ted to become an exile a.id deliver up his vessels on the sole con dit ou that tne lives of his followers would he spared. It was not for an in stant doubted that these terms won Id prove acceptable to Peixo.o, and that ho would promptly grant the part.a! am* I nesty, which was considers I so reusou ! able. Officials here were congratulating each other that the troublesome disorder al ng the Brazilian coast was surely set tled, and that commerce would no longer he hampered. At the cahi .et meeting every one present expressc 1 satisfaction that the end had been reached. An hour later a messenger from the state depart ment hurried over to the white house •with tiie latest news, which upset all j previous calculations. The navy depart ment, which had been annoyed at the failure of Admiral lion ham to confirm the pleasing news of the day before, had suggested the ex plan a- j I tion that he was probably t>o far down the bay to le.iru what information was I accessible to Minister Thompson in the city, but c nfldence wan expressed that ' the necessity for maintaining th • United j 1 States fleet in its pivsent proportions was 1 on the eve of disappearing, anil thut the ' next dispatch from the admiral would in all likelihoods annouce the cessation j of hostilities, and he would proceed down ' the coast to watch Mello. Ollicials were j surprised later by receiving the following ! dispatch from Admiral Denham, dated | March 13: i "Notice has been given by this goveru ! mi nt that th* bombarding of tho insur gent ships and forts commences at high noon, .March 13. Insurgent u lmiral, re ported, has taken refuge on board the Portuguese man-of-war. On inquiry i find in not on board yet." it is remarkable what a total revulsion of sentiment lias been manifested in higher naval circles at headquarters. It is declared that the strength Peixoto gained by securing the election of a civ ilian president to succeed himself will he more than offset by his determinaton to ' pursue the insurgents beyond all reason able limits of modern warfare, and that such iutemperate action cannot fail io add to the dissatisfaction his career had already caused. The prediction is even j ventured that Mello's adherents in the i ! southern states of the republic will be | increased by recruits from the best classes of citizens, who fear the ascend - i ancy of a military despotism. If (hi Gnma is actually on the Portu guese vessel, ho lias not only left his offi cers and men to their own resources but probably will embroil the government of Portugal, for Peixoto in declining to re j ceive Ids proffered surrender, has dis tinctly announced a policy of no quarter, evincing a positive determination not to : allow any rebel to escape. Minister Mendonoa's Views. , Mr. Mendonca, the Brazilian minister j here, said this morning, speaking of the : situation of affairs at Kio, that iie did j not see why the refusal of the government : to accept da Gama's surrender, upon the ! terms he had proposed, should excitesur : prise. "While I have no direct informa tion on the subject," said he, "1 believe | from my knowledge of the man that Pres ident Peixoto has it within his power now to crush the rebellion, and that he intends | to do so, and to compel an unconditional surrender of the insurgents. The presi dent is very conservative and would take no step until he was satisfied that the I issue of the movement undertaken by ; him would he successful. lie can afford to run no risks in the matter, and it is due to that characteristicc f caution that lie has heretofore refrained from initiating active hostilities against tfie forces under da Gnma and Mello. The government could not negotiate terms with da Gama upon other basis than that of uncondi tional surr ader, and he would have been in much better position had ho not at tempted to dictate tern*. By his present I attitude he is jeopardizing the lives of many of the brave men under his coin- I innnd. j In answer to the question as to what would probably be the fate of da Gnma I nn<l lus nssoviatliHo.. iu caxe they refused to ancondltounlly surrender and were uf terwards captured, .Mr. Mendonca po litely declined to express an opinion, fur ther than to say that he ha 1 no doubt that President Peixoto and his ■ •ortrn | meat would do what was best for the in terests of tho country aud of the repub lic. - Poor Prank I Dead.
