THE STOHM AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO , Juno 20. About 2
o clock last night a terrific wind and
Dim storm burst oror this city , which
did considerable damage in the way of
blowing down houses , unroofing build
ings , uprooting trees , etc. Several
lipracs were struck by lightning nnd
killed. At Austin , a suburban town ,
the Episcopal church , not yet com
pleted , was nrostrated to the ground.
No loss of life is reported. There is
very little telegraphic communication
with the outside world in any direc
tion and the storm appears to have
covered a wide extent of country. The
weather last night was sultry , but nf-
tor the shower it became bright and
pleasant , although still rather warm.
Last night and this morning the
atonn was by far the severest of the
season. No great damage , except to
telegraph lines , is reported witlu'n the
, city limits , but outside trees and
buildings of nil kinds were prostrated
in every direction. The eastern wires
of both the Western nnd American
"Union company's are totally wrecked.
Meagre particulars of the storm are
brought in by the passengers aiultroin
men of the incoming trains. It is re
ported that at Elkhart , Ind. , a largo
boarding hctuso wns blown down with
great loss of life.
AT FUANK1IN , N. 11.
FKANKLIN , Juno 20. A destructive
tornado swept over this village yester
day afternoon with hail and lightning.
Windows were scattered , a multitude
of chimneys overturned and trees and
gardens ruined. Tlio path of the
storm was two miles wide. The
Catholic church was moved six inches
from its foundation , causing much
damage.

The Latoit About the Accident on
the Morolos Railway <
National Associated 1'rcua.
" > ClT'.f Or ilnxicp , Juno DO. llo-
ports have been meagre regarding the
Morclos accident , as the telegraph
was destroyed by the managers for
the purpose of suppressing the de
tails. The official announcement of
the killed was 102 soldiers and
13 officers , of the wounded , 28.
Later reports , as expected ,
somewhat increase the number.
Heavy rains fell Thursday , with hail
Thursday night. By order of the war
secretary , the third battalion of sol
diers took the train from Cuantnla to
come to the City of Mexico. The
ro.id had been inaugurated the week
before by President Gonzales and the
third battalion wasonooftho regiments
takoing part in the inaguration. The
train passed Mnlpois , and two miles
beyond , whore the bridge was washed
away , while the train was at
full speed , plunged into
the chasm. The engineer and
fireman were killed instantly. A
largo cargo of whisky and alcohol was
aboard and caught fire. The car con
taining the soldiers was partly burned.
A heavy flood was rushing through
the chasm , many were drowned , and
others burnt beyond recognition. The
night was dark and misty and no help
could bo obtained. The news was ono
day in reaching the City of Mexico ,
fifty miles off. The government is
somewhat interested in the road.
Great sorrow is prevalent in the city.
CITV OF MEXICO , Juno 20. A. con
cession for the Morcloa road was given
to Dolfin Danchez , a Mexican con
structor , from Mexico to Cuantala ,
with a subsidy of 88,000 per kilome
tre. The line is a narrow guago ,
built entirely with this ono subven
tion , and has no other backing. It
was built by Mexican engineers , and
was the first attempt at railroading.
The road wns cheaply and hur-
iedly constructed nnd the nc-
cident was prophesied by com
petent engineers. Public opinion
blames Manager Sanchez , who has loft
the city. The train conductor's de
fense is that theio were no track men
to warn him of the danger. It was
the intention of the promoters to ex
tend the line to the Pacific at Seploy
by means of a government subsidy.
Tlio Lunes , the only city paper with
out a government subsidy , attacks the
government nnd administration. It
says that some one is to blame. It
assails Professor Diaz and calls San
chez to account. The Diario , the
official government organ , considers
the accident beyond human forresight.
The load has cost the gov
ernment so far $310,000 in
subsidies and sixty miles have been
built. Pachcco to-day became minis
ter of public works vice Diaz , nnd
Fernandez succeeds Pachoco as gov
ernor of the district. The changes
are significant. Pacheco and Fernan
dez are reported to bo interested in
the Morels road and will oversee the
investigation. It is alleged that the
government gave the manager
bf the Morels road g80,000 to
roach Cuantala before July , It ap
pears the road was condemned by the
public inspector the day of its in
auguration. There is general indig
nation. A dispatch received to-day
reports that Governor Guerrero is
missing. It 13 not known whether , he
was on the train. Over one hundred
bodies have been recovered in a
charred and mutilated condition The
wounded are in the hospitnl of San-
dicgo , nt Cuantala.

_ PENVKK , Juno 29. The Republican
is iim'ccipt of advices from n source
considered reliable which greatly re
duces the magnitude of the late In
dian fight. It is to the effect that
there were only thirteen Indians and
nine cattlemen in tlm fight. The lat
ter were drawn into an ambush , but
only seven w ere killed and wounded.
The Indians then loft the placo.
William May nnd companions , who
were reported missing , have reached
the big bond of the Dolores in safety.
At last accounts the thirteen Indians
engaged in the fight had crossed the
Colorado line and were en route to the
Uncoiipaghro agency with squaus
and cattle. One squaw is-reported
shot , having received n shot while
herding sheep. The Republican adds :
"It is an important fact in estimating
the dangers caused by the late figl.t
that in none of the reports have the
minors appeared as taking a hand in
the fight. If there had been n light
that was likely to cause a general out
break , it scorns that minors would bo
sufficiently interested to be among the
volunteers. "

Grant , speaking as an American citi
zen in reference to the representa
tions made , or to bo made , to the
government nt Washington , as to the
outrages committed in England , and
the charge that they were organized in
the United States , said that the
American people would not stand
idly and BOO preparations for
war made by nations or
adopted citizens upon nations with
w Inch wo nro nt poaco. It will de
volve on England to give the authori
ties nt Washington evidence that such

proof of its correctness it would bo
the duty of our government to take
action for a repression of the schemes.
This is the pith of the interview. The
correspondent says that Grant re

spoke in friendly terms of the present
administration in England.

THE BATTLE IN THE SOUTH.
Intel-eat In thtv Vlr trila tuft Acnt-
The Advantngoa of
Coalition.
WASHINGTON , Juno 20. The situ
ation in Virginia is at present ono of
the most prominent topics of conver
sation hero and interest in it is largely
kept alive by the delegations that nro
continually rushing in from that state
to give the president "that disinter
ested advice which springs from pure
republicanism and friendship for his
administration , " as some of them say.
Of course this advice is never twice
alike and is top often dictated by the
political ambition of the paitics giv
ing it , The meeting hero n day or
two since of a largo delegation in
favor of coalition has ro-nwakencd in
terest in that side of the question , and
consequently a number of oflicials
have aired their views upon the sub
ject with considerable freedom. How
ever ill-advised such a stop may bo ,
according to General Wickhnm nnd
Messrs. Dezendorf nnd Jorgensen ,
the fact cannot bo denied that the
majority of prominent govern
ment oflicials are strong be
lievers in caalition. They IOOK upon
the movement ns an opportunity
to forward republican princi
ples , which should , by no
means , bo allowed by the
republican party to go unimproved.
Take , for example , the case ot Hon.
Greene B. Rauni , commissioner of in
ternal revenue. Last year Mr. Raum ,
hearing that his inspector at Peters
burg , Van Auckon , was incliniiu' to
ward the readjustcr party , wrote him
n letter telling him that the boat in
tercuts of the republican party could
not bo subserved by a recognition of
the readjuster pnrtyand advising him ,
if ho still inclined that way , to send
in his resignation. This year Mr ,
Baum is strongly in favor of the coali
tion of republicans and readjusters ,
Ho explains his apparent inconsisten
cy by saying that ho has progressed ,
and that while last year the read jus tor
party looked like a selfish , personal
movement on the part of Miiliono.
this year he was satisfied that it was n
worthy ally of the republican party ,
nnd ho looked upon the movement as
the entering wedge which should split
Bourbonism and relieve the state
from its hateful rule , There nro
many other officials who do not speak
out in this way who believe this
movement to bo for the beat. It is
further believed that a majority of
the cabinet hold opinions in favor of
coalition , nnd when called upon will
ao ndviso the president that tlio move-
nfent will bo encouraged at his hands.

By Cnlilc to Tlic New York
PAUIS , Juno 28.The Hotel Brijjh-
ton , once n quiet resting place for in-
olVensivo travelers , has , since tlio
transfer of the Land league treasure
to Paris. became n hotbed and stronghold -
hold of the enemies of England. It
has just given shelter to Mr. James
Hcdpath , a gentleman who is boliovcd
to bo peculiarly disagreeable to the
British government , nnd who , ita
said , unless ho is oxtroniely careful in
his future proceedings , runs considerable -
able risk of joining the incarcerated
leaguers Davit t nun Dillon. Mr. Upd-
patli , who has been staying
at the Brighton for n
co\iplo \ of days with John
O'Loary , on his way to Irolniul , fa
vored ino with nu intorviowyoRtorday.
The conversation naturally turned on
the state of attain in Ireland , and
inoro especially on the various means
which have recently boon proposed as
panaceas for the multitudinous ail
ments of that unhappy land.
Till ! FKIIEKATION NCHKME.
After sonio desultory talk I re
marked to Mr. llodpath , "I should
like to hoar what you think of the
idea of forming a grand British , Iiish
and colonial federation , as suggested
in a Herald editorial of the OtTi inst. ,
and leaving Ireland to fight out her
internal quarrels nlono in n native
parliament ? "
Rodnnth As far as relates to Ireland - ,
land , the scheme would bo a great
stroke of statesmanship , because the
Irish people will never bo satisfied but
will always bo intensely disloyal , un
til at last the Irish parliament I'H re
stored. But the great difficulty now
is that this concession , as England
might bo willing to grant it , comes
too lato. Unless England first abolishes
ishes the federal features of Irish
landlordism , utterly eradicating ab-
Bontco and corporate landlordism , or
is willing to agree to a single chamber ,
based on the same rights of suffrage
as prevail in England , the old Irish
scheme of a parliament , with com
mons , lords , and n parliamentary mon
arch is only a dream now , because the
Irish hatred of subjection has boon
transferred largely from England to
the Irish landlords , who would form
the upper house. The old French
plan of a single chamber would bo
adopted , I think , with joy , and it
would transfer the Irish questions
from London to Dublin to bo settled
by tbo Iriuh themselves. Lofinlutivo
independence works well in Canada
and Australia with their largo Irish
populations , and , 1 believe it would
work quite as well in Ireland.
INDEPENDENCE ANU CONTENTMENT.
Finding Mr. Itodpath in a commun
icative mood I continued "Would
the Triflh , in your opinion , bo con
tent with legislative independence ? "
Kodpath A largo portioir of thorn
would bo satisfied if England did not
practically nullify the legislative independence
pendence by an undue use of the veto
power or by requiring the Irish laws
to bo approved bo the imperial parlia
ment or the London cabinet.
Telegram correspondent Do you
consider that Ireland is ready for an
essay of independence ? "
lledpath Certainly 1 do. When
England established the national
schools she made it impossible for her
to continue her immemorial treatment
of Ireland. Even twenty years ago
the Irish would have risen in insurrec
tion under the present state of affairs ,
yet now , self-restrained , with nearly
all their loaders in jail , they are prov
ing their capacity for homo rule.
HOW ENGLAND WOULD UK AFFECTED.
Telegram Correspondent Would
England bo weaker or stronger for that
collection of Irish independence ?
llodpath Stronger , of course , both
in the respect of the world and in
physical power. The Canadian Irish
hate England , but never rebel because
they have not a grievance.
Telegram Correspondent What
would bo the position of the land
league and of Mr. 1'arnoll after the
concesBsion ?
llodpath This bordereau prophecy.
They would necessarily bo compelled
to dovpto their cfiiet attention
to the amelioration of the evils
of Ireland at homo and among the
Irish people , meaning the disconten
ted Irish. The largo majority of the
people take less interest in British
polities than wo do.
Mr , Kodpath goes to Dublin to-day
on a journalistic mission and will pro
bably not indulge in the luxury of
public ) speaking. Ho , at least , ho as
sured me , adding that ho had excel
lent reason to suppose that his slight
est oratorical imprudence would bo
followed by hit ) arrest.
The eminent French Btntemnan ,
Jules Orland Stanislas Dufauru , life
senator and member of the academy ,
is doad.
Dufauro was born Dec. 4 , 1708 , at
Sanjoa , was educated for the bar , and
after being admitted , practiced with
great success at Botdaux. Ho entered
politics in J8II1 , and under the prem
iership of Guizot became a councillor
of state , and subsequently a minister
of public works. Although a member
of the government ho did not always
act with his colleagues , and early dis
tinguished himself by his great inde
pendence of character and eturdy re
sistance to illiberal measures , Ho
opposed the election of Louis Napoleon
leon to the presidency ot the republic
in 1B18 , but acquiesced in
the result when it was an
nounced. Napoleon tried to win him
to his side , and offered him the posi
tion of minister of the interior , which
ho accepted Juno 2 , 1819. Ho re
fused to acquiesce in the coup d'etat ,
and was ono of the deputies seized and
imprisoned for opposition to that most
iniquitous usurpation. After Ins release -
lease ho retired to private life and to
practice at the bar. When , in 1803 ,
no was elected a member of the Frnncli
academy. M. St. Marc Girardin was
sent to the emperor to announce Inn
election. The emperor received M.
Girardin graciously , nnd said ho was
glad of JJufaUro's election , although
ho was not ono of his supporters , lie
said ho remembered with gratitude
the services of Dnfauro as minister of
the interior under the presidency.
During the prosecution of Montalam-
bert , in 18i'J ( , Dufauro acted as his ad
vocate , pleading Jim cause with prcat
skill ami eloquence.
In February , 18" 1 , ho was elected
to the national assembly as a member
of the left centre. _ Ho was selected
by M. Tillers as minister of justice ,
and soon after became vice-president
of the council of miniature. During
his administration he suppressed the
Bouaparlist intrigues. Ho retired
from ollico at the clone of Thior's ad
ministration , but ill 1875 he assumed
his old post of minister of the inter
ior. Ho wan not in accord \\ith the
members of the cabinet , and upon the
letiremeiit of M. Buflit , in 1870 , ho
became premier , and reorganized
the cabinet upon republican prin-
ciploa , but in December ho
resigned because of an ad-
yorso vote in the senate , ami was suc
ceeded by Jules Simon. In February ,
1870 , ho wan elected to the chamber
of deputies , nnd in August following

HTAll-KOUTK IIINCISTEIIS HOUNIIINO HIM.
The Htar-routu thieves have made up
their mindn that Attorney-General
McVeagh must go. At an informal
conference to-day they decided ho was
a very ofUcious , nosing , disagreeable
man , a disturbing element in the
cabinet , a good man in the Philadel
phia law oliieo , but n very bad man in
the department of justice at Wash
ington , i So they agreed that ho must
resign involuntarily. * By n utn.ugo
mental process they came to think
that the president shared their views
to the full. So to-night a dispatch
emanating from the ring was telu-
grnphod here. It will very
likely- appear in Brady's morn
ing organ on the morrow.
It embodies the substance of the con
clusions of the ringstors. It is to the
effect that the president has about
made up hia mind that MncVoagh's
resignation would bo acceptable , but
that ho would not act hastily ; that to
morrow ho would discuss the matter
with the members of the cabinet nowhere
hero , and on Wednesday decide final
ly and act. The author of the para
graph wan kind enough to say that
Win. E. Chandler would probably
succeed MncArcagh , and also that
MaoVeagh was acting very courteous
ly by staying until the president
should decide his fate. The inevita
ble reference from the statements ol
the dispatch was that MacVeagh wan
about to go. It WOH shown to well-
informed cabinet ofliors , who pro
nounced it baseless noncsonso. The
truth is , as they say , that MaoVenjjl
is too strong to bo moved. Ho wil
stick.
