LONDON , March 0. In the house of
commons , shortly after midnight , Mr.
Halfour applied theclotureon the edu
cation estimates. The nationalists
limited "gag , gag , "and ret used to
leave the house when the division was
taken. The chairman twice asked
them to retire to the division lobby ,
but they shouted , "Certainly not. "
Mr. Falln cried , " 1 protest , against
the way all Irish votes are clotured. "
Thirty or forty Irishmen remained
in their scats. The chairman report
ed the matter to the speaker. The
Irishmen still refused to obey the or
der , and the speaker named sixteen
recalcitrants.
Mr. Balfour moved their suspension.
This was agreed to without a division.
The speaker ordered them to with-
firaw , but they refused , amid , great
oproar. The speaker called upon the
them. They
oejgeant-at-arm to remove
ohouted dellance. The deputy ser
jeant-at-arms advanced and asked
hcm to leave , but still they refused.
Atthlsanumberofotlleersand police
men entered to enforce the removal.
HAND-TO-HAND CONFLICT.
Mr. Eugene Crean , member for
southwest Cork , struggled de.sperately
against removal , and there was quite
a free light on the floor , lasting for T
minutes , other Irishmen assisting
ti m. Eventually he was carried out
bodily byslx policemen amid yells and
cheers.
The police then returned and carried
ach of the remaining recalcitrants in
the same manner , although there was
no further actual resistance. Many ,
43 they were beihg carried out , waved
fcheir hands and shouted , "God save
Ireland. "
The trouble arose through Mr. Bal
four closuring the whole education
estimates without giving an opportun
ity to discuss the Irish voice.
Those removed included John Cul-
ttnau , Patrick White , Patrick Me-
Hugh , William Lundon , William
Abranam , Patrick Dugan , Anthony
JDonelan ard James Gilhooley.
Never before had such a scene oc
cur ed in the house as accompanied
Ihe removal of Mr. Crean. He strug
gled fiercely with the attendants , who
ummoned the police , a dozen con
stables entering the house. The na
tionalists Jeered at them.
DRAGGED OUT BY MAIN FOTICE.
The nationalists fought and strug-
flee frantically , but at length asuper-
for force of police succeeded in drug-
Ing Mr. Crean out by the legs and
arms and carrying him down the floor'
f the house , the Irishmen standing
nd wildly shouting. "Shame , mur-
flerers , South African brutality. "
The speaker then called upon Mr.
He 11 ugh to retire , but. he defiantly re
fused , his companians shouting ap
proval. As the body of twenty police
gain stormed the Irish benches Mr.
Ucllugh fought , struggled and im
peded them in every way. Angry
shouts rent the air.
The benches nelow the gangway on
the opposition side were a mass of
mad and struggling humanity. Several
police i were struck with tlbts. Free
fights between the police and the
members were fairly general. As Mr.
Moll ugh was being carried out , his
underciothing showing where the
other garments had been torn a ay
tn the struggle , , Mr. Flavin shouted
from the benches , "Nineteen police to
cue lushman , " and cries of ' 'shame"
were heard from the opposition bench
es. While Mr. Cuhlnun was being re-
BIOV d , struggling violently , Mr. Pat
rick O'Brien excitedly appealed to the
speaker to "stop this most dt-stress-
lug scene. "
The speaker responded : "The'sccne
8fi certainly as distressing to me as It
can bo to the Irish members. "
Al'I'EALS KQK OKDER.
The speaker , In reply , again earn
estly appealed to the members to obey
. F the ruling of the house , whether they
' agreed witli tiie course taken or not ,
} and to leave the house peaceably and
decently. In response to this was
r
.
cries of ( > no , no , " from the national- \
fats. The speaker i lien ordered the '
removal of the , others. While Mr.
Donellan was being removed the na
tionalists rose and sang "God Save Ire-
1 laud. " Mr. Flavin shouted to the mi-
ionalists , "Youvill be carried out of
Bouth America in the same way. "
Mr. Flavin's turn then came. The
police were handling him roughly ,
amid renewed cries of "murderers , "
when he exclaimed : "All right ; I
don't Intend to hurt anybody. "
At 1 o'clock the speaker said :
"Tho house will now resume pro
ceedings , and 1 trust that the honor
able member will now leave the house. "
The Irish members shouted that
they would not leave.
The chairman again put the vote ,
adding that therere no teller and
that the ayes had it. Amid laughter
and cheers the Mouse adjourned.
The suspensions will last for two
weeks.

NKW YORK , March 7. The Com
mercial Advertiser says :
"The heavy buying of Chicago , Bur
lington So Qulncy shares within the
past few days is partly explained yes
terday by the report from a trust
worthy sotnce that James.I. Hill and
his friend- have been Seeking b > ob
tain control of this property In the In
terest of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific , Wall street oper
ators say both the Union Pacific and
Northern Pacific have secured enough
stock to be en tilled to representation
In the board of control.
"The efforts of the outside parties
to secure control of the Burlington
have boon stoutly resisted by some of
the largest stockholders , who have
been connected with the property for
many years , and who have a strong
faith in Its future growth These in
side Interests have thus far prevented
the newcomers from securing a ma
jority of the Burlington stock.
Whether their resistance to a change
In the control will contlnui to be effective
fective- remains to be seen.
"It is an Interesting fact that one
of the strongest Interests In Burling
ton which is seeking to preserve the
independence of that property is the
same Inteicst that was largely instru
mental in preventing .1. P. Morgan
and James .I. Hill from getting con
trol of the Chicago , Milwaukee St. St.

WASHINGTON , March 7. The liny-
Pauncefote treaty , intended to replace
tliD Clay-Buhver treaty , relative to
the construction of isthmian water
ways , died at noon Monday. The
death was caused technically , by the
fact that the last clause of the treaty
allowed only the period of time up to
March 4 for its ratification. Neither
the government of the United States
nor of Great Britain appears to have
wade any formal effort , to extend that
period.

WASHIDTON , March 7. A Swedish
army oil ! r has patented an air tor
pedo of a construction heretofore un
known , and received a government
subsidy for exploiting , according to a
co-nmunicallon to the state depart-
mei t from Consul General Gucnther
at Hamburg , Germany According to
the specifications the motion of tin :
projectile is carried exclusively bv a
force that Is developed in the torpedo
little by little , from Ignition of a gas
generated from slowly-burning mater
ial. The tras gradually becomes
stronger and propels the torpedo by
the arrangement which allows the gas
to escape. Once In motion , the tor
pedo increases its speed in accordance
with the amount of gas pressure. The
charge may consist of any explosive ,
provided the same is Ignited only by
shocks of blows. The Inital velocity
needs to be but slight , as the torpedo
Is impelled by Its own force. Thus
the discharge from the torpedo gun
constructed tor the purpose occasions
no reporter recoil and but little pres
sure , making the handling of the de
vice perfectly safe. At the trials made
BO far the torpedoes are reported to
have traversed a distance of 10,000
'eet.

WASHINGTON , March 0. Senator
Allen's name Is still carried on the
rolls as a senator from Nchra ka , and
It Is understand It will be until the
Nebraska Legislature elects or ad
journs. There was some contention
that his appointment would expire on
March 3 , the close of the last congress ,
but the authorities held otherwise.
Willie no formal action to that effect
has been taken by the republican sen
ators It Is quite definitely decided that
there will lie no reorganization of the
senate committees during the present
session. This decision will have the
effect of leaving the appointees of re
tiring senators in their position until
the convening of Congress next De

WASHINGTON , March 8. Senator
William P. Krye , of Maine , yesterday
was re-elected unanimously president
pro tern of the senate to serve during
the pleasure of the senate. This is
the second time Senator Frye has been
honored by his colleagues. Five years
ago on February 7 , 18 )0 ) the repub
licans then being In a minority , he
was elected unanimously. His servic
es as president pro tern , especially
blnce the death of the late Vice Pres
ident Hobart , have won for him the
cordial appreciation for his able and
impattial administration of the post
At today's session Mr Morgan of
Alabama concluded his speech In sup
port of his resolution declaring the
abrogation of the Clay ton-Bui wor
treaty between the United Suites and
Great Britain. His speech was really
pathetic. He had devoted the best
years of his olllcial life , he said , to ad
vance the construction of the canal ,
but-now he did not expect to live to
see the work upon the great waterway
begun.
KKOWKItS KOU 8KNATOII OAM11LB
When the senate convened today a
huge bunch of beautiful roses adorned
the desk of Mr. Gamble , the successor
to Mr. Pettlgrew of South Dakota.
The vice president announced the
appointment of Messrs. Cullom of Illi
nois and Cockrell of Missouri .as mem
bers of the board of regents of the
Smithsonian institution.
At the conclusion of the routine
business Morgan resumed his speech
begun yesterday In support of his
resolution declaring the abrogation uf
tno Clavton-Buiwer treaty. Mr. Mor
gan read that part of the Clayton-Bui-
wer treaty which relates to the Nicar
agua canal and also the protocols of an
agreement for the construction of the
canal tmnle between the United States
government and the governments of
Nicaragua and Costa Rica. He de
clared that it was perfectly clear that
the protocols entered Into last fall by
this government were a distinct violation
lation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
It was equally evident that the United
States must abandon Its plighted faith
with the Nicaragua and Costa Rica , In
order that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
might be fastened permanently upon
this government and h.tng like a pall
over it or take such a stand as will
sustain the president.

WASHINGTON , March 7 , General
MacArthur has notified the war de
partment by mail that In pursuance of
aulhority obtained from the depart
ment under nate of December 27 last ,
he was ordered the deportation of a
number of persons , whose overt acts
have clearly revealed them as In aid of
01 in sympathy with the Insurrection
and the irreirular guerrilla warfare by
which It Is being maintained and
whose continued residence In the
Philippine is , In every essential , re
garded inimical to the pacification
thereof. "
THEIR DESTNATION
By direction of the commanding
general the persons named were de
livered to Msijor Orwlg , Thirty-
seventh volunteers , on board the
Rosencronz , for deportation to the
Island of Guam "there to oe held un
der surveillance or in actual custody
as clicumstancesmay require ; during
the further progres of hostilities and
until such lime as the restoration of
normal peace conditions In the Phili
ppines has resulted in a public declar
ation of the termination of such hos
tilities. "
Subsequently another batch of In-
suruent sympathizers and agitates
were deported to Guam on the United
States steamship Solace to be held un
der the same condition as the ot hers.
This party consisted of members of
the Katlpuman society , who had
taken the oath of allegiance to the
United States for the purpose of facili
tating revolutionary operations In the
provencc of Hocus Norte.
Inducrmt-ii s to Surrender.
MANILA , March 8. Additional In
ducements have been made to the In
surgents to surrender their guns. Gen
eral MacArthur has directed all de
partment commanders to release one
prisoner for e\ery rifle surrendered.
An Insurgent who surrenders his gun
will be permitted to name the prisoner
to be released , provided no exceptional
circumstances require the man's de-
cntlon , In which case another selec-
tl m will be allowed.
A large mail lias been received at
the war department from General
MacArthur. It includes the recoid of
many cases of minder , ( reason and
'ither ' high crimes and mlsdcaineanois
on the part of the native Philippine.
A native named Lucino Almeida was
convicted by a military commission of
fragrant violations of the laws of war
and was sentenced to hard laber for
wenty years and to pay a fine of 20 , .

SAX JUAN , Porto Rico , March
A. serious riot occurred here Thursday.
At 0 o'clock in the evening live artil
lerymen and a corporal of artillery ,
named Hitchcock , left iholrguard past
without orders and charged across the
plaza into a street In which a mob of
people had assembled. The soldiers
llrcd a volley into the air , dispersed
the mob and rescued School Superin
tendent Armstrong , who was besieged
by a mob.
For hours previous to the rescue of
Superintendent Armstrong the city
had been overrun by a riotous crowd
of probably 1,600 persons , who shouted
"Down with the Amelcans" and
other similar cries.
The excitement originated In a trl-
vlrl school Incident Involving Superin
tendent Armstrong and Illustrating
the excitable nature of the Porto
Ilicans. The superintendent repri
manded a girl ten years of age for dis
obedience and forcibly but harmlessly
marched her to the front from the
rear of the school room. Her dress
caught in a desk and was torn and the
girl reported to nor mother that she
had been kicked and abused ,
This excited the girl's mother and
sensational stories were circulated
which caused the disturbance. Gov
ernor Allen deplores the unfortunate
occurrences , especially the action ol
the artillerymen. Corporal lliscock
has been placed under arrest and is
now In the guard house. It is prob
able he will be tried by court-martial.
The teachers who have been ques
tioned on the subject have made state
ments agreeing with those of Superin
tendent Armstrong to the effect that
the girl was not harmed
It Is probable that four-iifthsof those
who took part In the rioting did not
know why they were mobbing the
Americans. The rioters mostly be
long to the unlmployed worklnginen.

WASHINGTON , March 0. Final ad
journment of the extra session of the
senate would have been taken today
bad the new senatalor f join Oregon ,
Mr. Mitchell , been present to take
the oath. He could not reach here
until tomorrow , and adjournment was
postponed until thai time.
Mr. Hoar ( Mass. ) ottered a resolution
providing for the appotnlmsnt of a
committee of senators to call upon the
president and Inform -him that the
senate was ready to adjourn without
delay.
Mr. Morgan ( Ala. ) objected to con
sideration today , saying that Senator
Mitchell of Oregon would be In Wash
ington tomorrow and it was due him
that the senate remain In session until
his arrival.
After the transaction of some brief
routine business Mr Lodge of Massa
chusetts moved that the senate pro
ceed to the consideration of executive
business. On that motion Mr. Hoar of
Massachusetts requested the yeas and
nays , saying that lor a particular rea
son it was desirable the toll should be
called at once during the session. The
motion prevailed unanimously , fifty-
six senators voting in the alternative ,
and at 12:15 : the senate went into ex
ecutive session.
i The "paitlcular reason" for a roll
call referred to by Mr. Hoar was that
the name of Mr. Allen of 'Nebraska
should be Included thus otHclally In
the roll of senators. Some question
was raised as to the right of Mr Allen
to draw his pay in the new congress
under his appointment by the govern
or of Nebraska.
Although Mr. Allen did not vote up
on the motion , being absent from the
I chamber , the calling of ills name set
tled his status as a senator.

The second shot entered the right
