LONDON , April 13. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to the BKK. ] Onri of the most
exciting Incidents during the present session
of parliament occurred form nftcr mldnhrhL
' ( 'ho debate on thu HCCOIH ! reading of the
crimes bill proceeded decorously enough
until Colonel S.umdorson formulated n
charge against thn Parncllltcs , saying they
wore associated with crime nnd criminal ? .
llo named among the criminals Patrick
Ford , P. J. Sheridan and Patrick
Kcan. Mr. Healy rose to n point of
order. Thu speaker , responding to tlio ap
peal , observed that the colonel's charge was
undoubtedly serious , but It had been In such
n form as to bn duly met In debate. Ho
therefore did not call upon tlio gallant gen
tleman to withdraw his accusation. Mr.
Hcaly then declared that the only course
open to him was to call Colonel Sanderson a
liar. Ho was requested by the chair to
withdraw his expression , but he declined.
The speaker thereupon named him1 Mr.
Smith moved that ho bo suspended. The
liouso was now In astatoof great excitement
One hundred and eighteen members voted
for suspension nnd fifty-two niratnst , the
minority being mainly Parncllltes.but Includ
ing n few radlcnls. The division wns tnkcn
in a rather thin house. Air. Gladstone nnd
jord Handolph Churchill , who had ben
present early In the sitting , were not In at
tendance during this occuronce , nor was Mr.
Parncll.
HKAI.Y Busrr.Nunn.
Mr. Healy , who himself voted against thn
motion , returned to his place. Ho was dl-
ccted by the speaker to withdraw , which he
did , bo'wlng to the chair. As ho retired his
compatriots rose In n body , waved their hats ,
and cheered him lustily as ho walked down
the lloor of the house.
Dr. Tanner shouted : "This is for telling
the truth. "
Mil. 8EXTON TAKES A HAND.
Mr. Sexton then demanded that Colonel
Saiinderson should withdraw the statement
that ho had been nn associate of murderers.
The colonel demurred. Mr. Sexton then , In
excited tones nnd looking townrd Colonel
Samiderson , shouted : "You nro a wilful ,
cowardly liar , nnd If I had you outside the
doors of this house I would thrust the words
down your thioat. "
The speaker promptly directed Mr. Sexton
to withdraw the offensive expression , inti
mating that otherwise ho would bo com
pelled , with great pain , to take the same
course ns he had done lu the caseof Mr.
Healy.
Mr. Sexton replied that If Colonel Saun
dcrson would withdraw his charge ho would
withdraw the language ho used. The
speaker having appealed to the colonel , the
member made on explanation which satisfied
Mr. Sexton.
BAUNnr.nsoN nr.soMns HIS SPEECH.
Colonel S.iundorsun then went on with his
ppoech. He observed that when Mr. Sexton
\\-ns In America , he saw Patrick Kgan
elected president of the "Clan-na-Gacl
Murderers' Association of America. "
Mr. Sexton jumped up nnd declared that
Colonel Sniindorson was repeating calum
nies. Ho know nothing about the Clan-na-
Gael.
Dr. Fox said that ho was present at the
convention nnd ho wished to brand Colonel
Saundorson ns a cowardly liar.
The speaker took no notice of the Interrup
tion , ho being presumably intent on bring
ing about a settlement ot the previous diffi
culty. After some delay Colonel Saiinderson
consented again to withdraw his words.
THE I.KACIUK nr.NOUNcr.n.
He denounced tlio National league and
quoted from thu Irish World { an account of
the supper in celebration of the Pncunix park
murderers nt which Patrick Egan presided ,
l-'gan , he said , was presented with a service
of plate , to which Purnoll , Sexton and Dillon
subscribed.
Upon this there were loud cheers from the
conservative benches.
Mr. Sexton contented himself with declar
ing that ho never before hoard ot such a sup
per , nnd moved the adjournment ot the de
bate. He thus secured thx right of resuming
on Hominy. These circumstances will upset
the.arrangement arrived nt of taking a divi
sion on the second reading on Monday.
It may bo added that the Times , in an edi
torial , strongly backs up Colonel Saunder-
son.
AXOTHF.ll ACCOUNT.
LONDON , April 15-Slr William Vernon
Harcourt , resuming the debate on the coer
cion bill in the house of commons this after
noon , said the present alliance between the
liberals nnd Parnellites was based on the
liberal recognition of the fact that the wisest
policy In Irish atl.Urs lay In the acceptance
of some form of Irish government which
would tend to satisfy the Irish people , lie
twitted Lord llandolpii Churchill nnd Cham
berlain with having secretly consulted Par-
ncllseeking to make nn alliance with him
for their own purpose. Tliu proposal to make
the bill permanent Sir William characterized
M n breach of the fundamental conditions ot
the union between Ireland nnd Great
Britain.
Major Snundcrson , conservative , said the
National league was supported mainly by
criminals , dynamiters , miudcrcrs across the
Atlantic , He did not charge the gentlemen
opposite with Imbuing their hands In blood ,
but did charge them with associating with
men whom they know to bo murderers.
Healy rose to a point of order nnd said It
Major Satinderson referred to him ho had no
hesitation in say ing Saiinderson was n liar.
This remark was greeted with rousing Par-
nelllto cheers. The speaker called upon
Healy to withdraw thn expression.
Hcaly replied : " 1 am only able to meet the
chariro In ono .way. If you rule Mnjor
Snunaerson In order , my expression Is
equally in order. If you rula him out of
order , 1 shall withdraw my expression. "
The Speaker That's not so. Saiinderson
made a charge ot the gravest nature. The
responsibility rests entirely with himself. It
Is his duty to prove It If no can. [ Chrers. |
But 1 cannot allow the expression you used.
Healy repeated that S.Mindcrson was n liar.
A great uproar arose. Thu speaker called
upon llcaly to withdraw. Healy refused ,
The speaker thereupon named him and W.
Ji. Smith , first lord of the treasury , moved
that Hcaly bo suspended.
Kedmond jumped up nud shouted "I viy
be ISA liar , too. "
The housa divided on the motion t > MIS-
pond Healy , Tha motion was carried UN

.Hero S xtcn , Bringing to his feet ,
Bhoutcd : "I say you nro a wilful , cowardly

There was another uproar. The Parnell-
lies all rose and [ cheered , frantically waving
their hats.
As soon as a chance could be had , Sexton ,
ivzaln mldresstnz Saiinderson , exclaimed :
"If 1 only met you outside the floor of this
house 1 would thrash you within nn Inch ol
your life. "
The excitement was aaln renewed. The
speaker arose and addiessod thu house , but
his volco was Inaudible nbovo the
din. When quiet wns somewhat
restored , the speaker said unless
Sexton should withdraw the expression he
would be compelled to name him. Ho np-
penled to the house to assist him In his duty ,
adding ho was willing to do anything In his
power to allow the bad feelings. IChcors. ]
HID speaker then nsked Sauuderson whether

murderers. Saiinderson , after several
evasive answers , which were Interruutcd by

cr's question , " etc. , eventually wlthdrow.tho

The Twenty-Second Anniversary.
Si'JttNOKiKi.u , 111. . April 15. The twenty-
second anniversary of tliu dcatlrof Abraham
Llncolu WAS commemorated In the hall of
representatives this afternoon , the bcrvlco
bjln ? mi tier the dliectlon ot the Lincoln
guard of honor. The exorcises continued
over two hours nnd were larKcly nttontlctl.
Addresses wore delivered by Bishop Soy-
inour , of thu Springfield dlocesa , and Hon.
W. 11. Collluir , member of the house of repre
sentatives. Clinton L. Couklln. a member
ot tht ] Lincoln guard , read the historical
paper descriptive of the labor of thu guards
In guauling the remains of the martyred
president lualnst vandal hordes. After the
meinorablo journey from Washington City
to Springfield , the body of President Lincoln
was deposited In the receiving vault In Oak
Hldgo cemetery on Thursday , May 4 ,
lbG3. One wcok from that day the
National Lincoln Monument association
was organized. Their first work
was to build a temporary vault on the ground
secured for the monument , i'o this vault the
body was removed on Djaember SI , ISO" ! , and
there remained till September 10,1871 , when
It was placed in the monument. Upon each
occasion the remains were idmitllicd by a
member of the monument association. Alter
wards , on the ' .ith of October , 1874. the re
mains wcro transferred to the marble sar
cophagus In the catacomb and were again
Identllied. Hero the body remained undis
turbed till the night of November 7 , 1870 ,
when an attempt was made to steal the collln
with Its contents. The thieves succeeded in
breaking open the sarcophagus and In
partially removing the colliu , but being dis
turbed m Until- work the attempt failed
and HID remains were rostotcd tn
their former resting place. Members of
the monument association , feeling the Inse
curity of the situation , and fearing a renewal
ot the attempt to carry away the remains ,
caused them to bo removed from the sarco
phagus , and , on thocvcninzof November 15 ,
1870 , the three members of the executive com
mittee of the association , with some addi
tional assistance , secretly conveyed the cas
ket into ono of the Inner recesses of the
monument. No further steps were taken
until November , 1883. when public attention
was aroused by events occurring In Now
loikcity. The members of the monument
association , beini : personally unublo to un
dertake the work required to be done , loft the
entire matter in the hands of John T.
Stunrt , chairman of the executive committee.
Ho requested John T. Bower , custodian of
the inoiuiumnt , to select several pcr.sons
whom ho could trust and with
their assistance to place the body
ot the president where It would bo secure ,
llo selected Gustavus S. Dana , Jasper N.
Uceco , Joseph I' . LIndloy , Edward a. John
son and James McXelll. On the night of
November 18,1878 , these gentlemen removed
the remains to a tnoro remote recess beneath
the monument , to a place Immediately south
of the present crypt , and there burled them.
Every possible precaution was taken to re
move all traces of the work or indications of
the place of burial , which was deemed the
more necessary because of Intimations re
ceived about this time that another attempt
would bo made to steal the body. This place
was known only to those taking part In the
transaction and to those olllcers of the
monument association by whoso request It
had been done. In order to moro fully carry
out the wishes of the executive com
mittee of the monument association , as ex
pressed by Hon. John Stuart , its chairman ,
and to provide for the continued satety of
the remains , the gentlemen above named , to
gether with Noble 11. WIzirlns. Horace Chap-
pin and Clinton L. Conkllng , on February
12 , 180 , formed an association under the
laws of the state of Illinois , the corporate
name being the "Lincoln Guard of Honor. "
The ostensible object of tins association waste
to hold memorial services upon the anniver
sary of Abraham Lincoln's death. 1U rea'
object was to keep secret his place ot burial
and to protect his remains Irom desecration
Thus the Lincoln Guard of Honor became the
Immediate guardian of the dust of Abraham
Lincoln. This trust they continued to hold
until April 14 , I8o7- when the collln of the
martyr president was raised trom its resting
place and formally transfeired by the Lin
coin Guard of Honor to the Lincoln menu
inent association. By direction of the lattoi
association the casket was opened and the
face exposed to view. The familiar feature :
were recognized by those present. Tin
casket was aaln sealed up ana removed to
the vault recently prepared beneath the cen
ter of the marble lloor nt the catacomb In the
Lincoln monument. By his side were de
posited the remains ot nis wife. Over and
around both caskets is a solid mass ot ma
sonry and concrete. The following cert 111
cate attests the Identity of the body and tin
last act In this history :
Wo. the undersigned members ot the Lin
coin Monument association , of Springfield
Illinois , do hereby certify that on the Mtl
day of April , 18S7 , we saw the cedar anc

Abraham Lincoln opened lu our presence In
the memorial hall of the monument. The
remains wore somewhat shrunken , but
the features wcro quite natural and
wo could readily rccognlzo them as
the features ot the former Illustrious
president of our nation and that they tire his
remains , and that they were again resealed
In his said rollln and deposited in thu vault
bmicath the lloor of the catacomb in our pres-
ence. ( Signed )

An Oporn Singer's Trials.
NEW Yor.K. April 15.-Spceinl | Telegram
to the Br.r..J Signer Del I'uento , who nr-
rived on the Alaska , Monday , says that for
some reason unknown to him the English
olllcors tried to nrrest him at Liverpool. Del
Pucnto left London early In order to avoid
any trouble with Mapleson , in whoso com
pany he has been singing. On thu Liver
pool dock three detectives asked his name.
' 'Jones , " said Del 1'uente , who had been put
on his L'liard by Mine. Hastreltcr. All went
well then until Quocnstown was reached ,
when more detectives climbed on
board. This time Del Puente's friends
besought Captain Brooks to stow the but Hone
Hway until the storm should blow over. Cap
tain Brooks consented , after some persuasion
and theslngor And his baggage was locked up
In u store room until the detectives had
searched the shin high nnd low.and ho thinks
it possible that the British government was
anxious to collect the government tax on his
salary because ho was uu opera singer. Ho
remembered that he had received a bill from
the government , and that he had showed it to
Colonel Mapleson , who merely remarked ,
"Oh , tuff and nonsense , me boy ; I'll look
hout fur It Don't bother about that
blawsted tax. " Signor Del I'liorto now be-
lloves that Colonel Mnplesou did not attend
to the payment of the government tax ,
Mapleiou owes him much money , he
says.

of this kind the Hock Island road would

ten miles west , to n point as far east as this
city. Llttlo damage was done here , ho high
hills on both sides of tlio river sheltering the
houses , but the commotion In tlio upper air
was noticed and n few roofs were damaged.
The storm lirst struck St. Clalrsvllle , demol
ishing two new brick houses belonging to
Colonel P.itton mid Judge Cochran , wcbt of
town , nnd n frame house belonging to a mnn
named Coleman. A largo m-uislon on the

The loss In St. Clalrsvlllo will reacli S'-IOO.OOO.
The Western Union wires nnd poles are all

was so badly used uo that not a brick was
loft on another. L.v. . Bailey's line concrete
