LONDON , July 27. On the Rovcrnmcnt pro
gram 10 o'clock this evening was the hour
Bel for the closure of the debate In commit
tee on the homo rule bill. Tlio parts of the
bill left over from the discussions of last week
nnd for the divisions of this week wcro the
new and final clauses , the schedules and the
preamble.
The galleries of the House were filled with
ticrsons expectant of an exciting scene nt
theclosoof the committee's labors. Few
members were absent.
The proceedings early in the evening were
tame enough until U : I. . Then Joseph Cham
berlain rose lo deliver the final broadside of
the opposition , He was still snfarting under
the lush which Mr. Gladstone swung on
Tuesday evening. Ho referred to the course
of the prime minister in u scornful manner ,
binl denounced the dubato of Iho bill under
the 'Closure ' rule us a farco. The bill had
been changed In its most vital features ; still
no debate was regarded as necessary , since
whatever was altered In the bill was always
found perfect bv the ndherunls of Iho prime
minister. "Tho prime minister calls , 'Black , '
and his adherents sny good , " said the
speaker. "The prime minister calls , 'White,1
nnd they say il is heller , j Union laughter. )
It is always the voice of God. Never sincu
the time of Herod lias there been such "
Nturt of tliu llow.
Mr. Chamberlain cot no further , for with
his lialt-iinlshod reference there came from
the nationalists such a roar of indlirnntlon
as has not been hoard in thu House since the
days of Parnoll.
Mr. Chamberlain tried to talk on , but his
volco was inaui'.lblo 15 tlio members on the
next bench. Shrill yells of oxi'cratlon from
the Irish sounded above the uproar. Then
T. P. O'Connor sprang to his feet and , leanlmr
toward Mr. Chamberlain , shouted , "Judas ! "
KO loudly that tliu epithet could bu heard
throughout the House. The rest of the
Irishmen caught up the cry , and for half a
minute shouted , "Judas" in a chorus.
Meantime the clock struck 10. The chair
man tried to put the closure , but his volco
could not bo heard.
Then came a scene unprecedented in
parliamentary history. Mr. Mellor gave , in
a weak voice , the customary directions.
The conservatives , however , flatly refused
to quit tlio houso. Gibbs , Bowles and
Ilanbury shouted lo tlio chairman that lie
must first call Mr. O'Connor to order for
bavliiL- called Mr. Chamberlain names. Mr.
Mellor protested that he had not heard the
epithets in question. Tin ; members crowded
forward In excited groups , slinking their
fists and shouting their demands.
Lord Randolph Churchill and Sir Kdward
Clarke got hold of Mr. Gibbs and starled
him for Hie front bench that ho might cluci-
dulu Iho cutisu of llio row to Mr. Mollor. In
the general jostling Gibbi was so pushed
about that hu gave up his purpose.
They Struck lit livery Ilonil.
IMcnntltno half of the unionists had
climbed to the benches nnd wcru shouting ,
" " " " Others in
"gag , "gagl" were struggling
tlio aisles or between the benches witli radi
cal , liberal , or Irish antagonists. Curses ,
yells uf pain and gross insults were heard on
every side.
John Ijogan , liberal , ran down to tlio first
opposition bencli and began upbraiding Kd
ward Carson , a lory. As lie shook his list
under Mr. Carson's nose , George Wyndliam
nnd William Fisher Jumped lo thcubsistuncu
of their party colleague , seized Mr. Log in
by tlio neck , throw him to the floor headfirst
nnd then humlled him under n bench.
Somebody smashed Tim Hcaly's high hat
down over his eyes. Healy tore off Ihu hat
nnd sprang into the aisle in full lighting
posture just as Mr. Ilanbury. still shouting
that the chairman must name Mr. O'Connor ,
was trying to got by. Mr. Ilanbury was
knocked over a bench by thu force of tlio
collision before Mr. Ilouly got in a blow.
A free light then broke out at the gang
way Tlio center of it was William Red
mend , Purnollltc" , who had taken advantage
of the general cunfuslon to push over
Colonel Sanderson , the champion of the men
of Ulster. Sanderson was rescued and led
tliu attack on tliu Parncllif's.

Hlows wcro struck right and loft. Mem
bers full and wcru picued up by tholr
friends lo light again. The wliolo
space between llio front benches wr.s
filled with a slruggllng , cursing mass I I
members , striking , clawing and upsulimg
each oilier. The surgeant-at-arms was
powerless. Eventually Mr. Gladstone bogged
Kdward Murjorlbunks , a sturdy liberal , to do
Bomuthing to stoi > tlio light. Mr. Murjori-
banks dug his way through llio bolllgnrcnts
nnd by repeated appeals in thu name uf the IL.
premier succeeded in stemming the conflict.
Colonel Sanderson emerged llrst from the
croud of lighters. Ho was holding a hunch
of kcyeK to his lilack uyo. Others followed
in a more or less damaged condition.
( iliiiUtomt'H 1 lull Kiml Ion ,
Mr. Gladstone , silling upright , had
watched the scene with inllained face and
nn expression of sorrow , Indignation and as
tonishment , which will never no effaced from
the memory of Ihoso observing it.
Chairman Mellor sent for Speaker Pool as
BOOH as order wan restored. When the
speaker entered several conservatives rose
nnd pointing to Mr. Gladstone , exclaimed J.
Tilore sits tliu author of it all. "
Whllo Mr. Gladstone , Mr. Malfour and Mr.
Mellor conferred as to what should bu done
the combatants were comparing notes. Not
n few of thorn showed thu effects of rough :
handling. Tlm Healy had received a hard
blow In the lace and oue cheek was badly
swollen. William Itcdmoml also hail a bad
spot on his face. idr
The hum of voices died out ns Speaker ;
Pool , stern and dlgnilled , took the chair. A
sllglil cheer was given for him and then Mr.
Mellor , us chairman of tlm committed , r.u"
poried to Mr. Pcol , as speaker of the House ,
what had occurred. Mr. Mellor spoke in a
low , sorrowful voice , hut thu members had
become so qtliot that not a word was lost. idr.
In rcsponso to the speaker's request Mr.
Gibbs then made bis complaint In regard r.to
Mr O'Connor's calling Mr. Chamberlain
"Judas. "
Mr Ilanbury and YVIlliamJohnstonoaskod

lie. . said ; " 1 regret lo say Unit neither my

count of the affair. " He then gravely
described the events as they had been re
ported to him by Ills lieutenant ? and event
ually expressed liu : opinion that the dlvlHtun
bhoulu bu taken boferu the "Judas" Incident ,
was consldori'd ,
Mr Malfour recounted the version of the
llffht v-lven him by hit colleagues , and nt
Mr Ili'uly's request , Mr. Mellor again told
what im know of the trouble.
Mr Mellor repeated that he had not hoard
IhcnnYiuivc expression , but had ordered
that it be tu'm.'ii down and then summoned
the ipt'uker.
Speaker Peel ruled that the use of the
epithet , 'Judas , " by Mr O'Connor was thu
oritflual cauie of the disorder. If the gun-
tlctnnn would say lie regretted using It , the
speaker would take no further notice of tlm
affair. O'Connor apologized to the spcaxcr.
The speaker accepting tlio apology sMd ho
trusted the liouso would now proceed to bus
iness In .1 manner to do honor to Its tradi
tions. Cheers greeted the speaker's words.
Colonel SutiilrrMin's Coinnlnliit.
Colonel Sanderson , as soon ns the cheering
subsided , despite frequent Interruptions and
shouts of "No "
, recounted excitedly how
Kupcno Crenn , nntl-Parnclllte , had , without
provocation , hit him In the eye. The In
creasing confusion threatened n renewal of
the riot , when Mr. Balfour nnd Timothy
Harrington rose together. Mr. Hiilfour
yielded the floor and the Irish became
tranquil.
The new clause was adopted by n vote of
am to an.
The other two financial clauses werecar ,
ried without divisions.
The postponement of the loth and 10th
clauses was adopted by a vote of fllO to 2.S3.
Tim motion that the llrst schcdulo stand ns
lurt of the bill was carried by u vote of ! I10
to 277. The second schedule was carried by
' . " .XI to 2711 , amid loud opposition cheers. The
rest of the schedule was adopted without
noteworthy Incidents.
When the committee rose and Chairman
Mellor reported to Speaker Peel , presiding
over the House , the homo rule bill , as
amended In committee , cheer after cheer
was given , and nil hats were waved for Mr.
Gladstone by the liberals and Irish , who
were answered by the unionists with counter -
ter cheers. Tlio report stage was fixed for

LONDON , July 7. In the House of Lords
this evening the earl of Itosubcry an
nounced that lie could not make n full report
concerning thu Siamese affairs until he bad
heard from I ord DutTeiln in Paris. Tlio carl
assured the house that ho had no rcluctancn
. to take tlio members into his conllcence , but
he could not give tlio desired information
solely because M. Dovcllo had not been able
to receive Lord Dtillcrin until yesterday. He
added that it might bo desirable to- again
define the altitude of tlio government. From
the outsut Great Hrltnin had refused lo enter
into the dispute , upon the merits of which the
government did not feel called upon to express
an opinion. It had confined Itself to
providing for the safety of British lives and
interests in Bangkok. It was hardly neces
sary to state that the British government
from the beginning sedulously avoided uiv-
ing any advice to Siam , beyond the occasions
when she had asked for It , but Great Brit
ain hud urged her to make terms as quickly
ns possible with her uowerful neighbor.
Nevertnoless tlio British government was
by no moans indifferent to the events that
are now passing In Siam. .Great Britain had
first place in the great commercial interests
there ; her shipping amounted to 87 per
cent of tlio tonnage and her trade to 1)3 ) pur
cent of thu total value. For this roasca he
regretted that Franco doomed that a blockade -
ado was necessary. Tnis blockade might
raise some questions of international law ,
but Great Britain bad not yut buen formally
notified of its establishment and perhaps it
was not too much lo hope that tliu
nc'-essity might yet bo averted. The pro
posed territorial arrangements attendant
upon the dispute involved matters that con
cerned Great Britain. The government was
glad to believe that Franco was no loss alive
than Great Britain to the value of Siamese
Independence , regarding it as-11 matter of
importance that Franco and Great Britain
should not have conterminous frontiers , bo-
causc that would involve both countries in
great military expenditures and create lia
bility to panic.
Tliu statement of the parliamentary sec
retary was otherwise in olVuct similar to tlio
ono made in the House of l ords by Ean
Kosubery.

Wo learn from authority deserving of tlio

IUNOKOK. July 27 , Notice was given today
of the blockade by tlio French Hoot. Out
going vessels have been warned that they
must clear from Bangkok and tliu Tsh Si
Chang before Saturday or submit to deten
tion. Thu blockade will extend along the
entire norlli coast of the Gulf of Siam. Tliu
French lleet , with M. Pavie , lias gone to Koli

The general expectation Is that early in
Atieust llio French Hoot will attack Bangkok
and land KJIIIU fl.OJJ men. There Is litilo
doubt bore that Franco's purpose is K > maku
Slam a Frunch colony.
The Siamuso government Is exceedingly
anxious to avoid opun warfare. When the
gunboat 1.11 tin was at the Men am bar early
I Ins morning thu foreign minister sent to M.
1'uvlo n note to the effect that thu king and
his advisers were most anxious lo maintain

At 12:50 : the gates , though they had been

boys took tlio appearance of Indians in the
grand city in comparative quiet ; the Kronen
nnd German soldiers stirred their blood a
little , and the cowboys roused them to en
thusiasm , which was increased by the ap
pearance of United- States cavalry. Hut
when Iluffalo Hill galloped In they just went

and screamed until they were exhausted.

After the Dcadwood mail had been cap

not take place every day. Buffalo Hill was
sent for. He galloped up on his handsome

forward , supported on his right by a diminu

mission and on his right a picturesquely
dirty urchin with only ono lug , but a pair of
sparkling brown eyes and a keen countenance
showed beneath thu dirt. The messenger
was James Durgnn , the one-legged boy was
John Tartuff. Superintendent Daniels ex
pressed the gratitude of all the boys and girls
ttiuro for tlio rich treat Colonel Cody had
given them.
Then little Johnny balanced himself on
his crutch and reaching up a small box to
the figure on horseback , piped : "Hero , Hill ;

CiiiCAiio. July 27. The Phoebe Couzlns
faction of the board of lady managers gave
out a statement in regard to the various
controversies between it and the board. It
states that Mrs. Meredith , chairman of tlio
committee on awards nnd of tlio executive
committee of the board of lady itnanagcrs
which attempted lo depose Miss Couzlns ,
was charged by Miss Cunning
ham of South Carolina with duplicity
In tlio settlement of affairs. Miss Cunning
ham , striving to substantiate the charge
was refused a hearing by a ruling by Iho
president of the board , Mrs. Potter P.iltnur.
Mrs. Mall , secretary of the committee on
awards , attempted to sustain Miss Cun
ningham , but was also refused a hearing.
.Mrs. Hall gave Miss Cunningham her dupo-
right of free speech and right uf defense , bad
broadened in their experience and could no
longer bo led or coerced by tlio faction which
had previously hold sway , and which was
led by Mrs. Palmer and Mrs. Meredith. My
a large majority Mrs. Martlott's resolution of
censure \vasluid on the table.
Continuing , the statement charges that
the majority ot the board , against the pro
test of tliu minority ( the Couzlns faction ) ,
has permitted a wattelul extravagance in
salaries and sinecures , nnd the minority now
proposes to ascertain the exact status of tlio
llnnnccs of Ihe board. It is said that the
salary list covers nearly $3.OUO ( ) and that ex
penditures which thu directory ouijlit to as
sume are being charged to the United States
treasurer. The board was stampeded out of
town last May because of the attempt to
reach tlio facts , but now it proposes to have
n full showing of tno itcinUed account.
Miss Cou/cns created consternation at the
meeting today by challenging the votes of
the nine members from tliu city of Chicago.
She claimed that they were merely honorary
members and had no executive powers.

RICH HIM , , Mo. , July 27. A general strike
of all the miners In this district was Inaug
urated today. The men want the privilege
of organizing themselves into unions , an
incrcago of wages , and to aid their Kansas
brethren. From l.SOO to 2.000 men are out.
Tlio men recently organized a. union , and
yesterday tliuy eluded J. C. Perils secre
tary. t The mine owners , hoping to chock tlio
union ll movement in its inciplency. swore out
a l warrant for Secretary Portts.charging him
with vagrancy. Tlio warrant was served
last 1 night and Portis was jailed. This was
tliu ' last straw and thu union men decided at
a meeting held last niKlit that they Mould
strike. None of the union men went to work
in j tlio mines tills morning , but they labored
vigorously with the non-union men and in
duced them lo join in tliu strike move
ment. At noon fully 1,800 of the
2,000 minors in the district were
idle. The men at work nro
those employed in .small mines and limy will
probably como out as soon us Iho union men
cun visit them and explain the .situation.
Sheriff Colyor lias placed deputies at the

The Situation.
Nr.w YoitK. July ST. During the morning
hours of business at the Stock exchange the
nervous tension was not. so pronounced as
yesterday. The fact that the imwcrful
Standard Interests had come In posscsiton of
the KvuitHVlllo & Terra Haute property
relieved nil apprehension from that quarter
uiul t bo comparative tlrmncss of that stock
in tlio market put money lenders nt ease.
Another thing that helped to restore eon II-
iienco was Iho decision of the governing
committee of the Stock exchange not to oloso
the board , ns was suggested yesterday by
some of the operators who lost their heads.
Probably the most important developments
of the morning , However , wore the engage
ment of $1,000,000 gold in London by Luzard
Frcrt's ami the further drop tn the rates of
sterling exchange. The heaviness of ex
change encourages the hope that the move
ment of gold from lOuropo will assume large
proportions In iho early future. A move
stable money market would be of great as-
Mstnnco to intending importers , for it is
dlnicult tn * calculate upon the result of n
shipment with call loans at 5 per cent per
annum ono minute and ! * ' per diem and
interest the next , still foreign houses am
looking fora largo tuition , movement of Iho
precious metal. Money at the Stock ex
change opened ut.-V per cent per diem and
Interest , which Is equal to fil , ° ff per cent pur
annum. I .a ter there was a decline to10 per
cent. It is Idle to talk of a quotation for
time money and mercantile paper as long us
call loans call for the rates given above.
IMi.l Most of it 111 ( iolil.
Tno subtrcasury was Sill , is ; ) debtor at the
clearing house , of which $200,000 was paid ,
in gold and the balance In treasury notes.
Hank ofliciuls stuto that shipments of cur
rency to tliu interior will equal yesterday's
total. Tlio rates of domestic exchange on
Now Yoik at interior points rather corrobo
rates this theory.
A feature of the day's operations at the
exchange was the purchases of securities for
investment. The movement was the heavi
est in voars nnd did much to steady the list.
Ono broker , who makes n specialty of trad-
inuin small lots , said tint up to 11 o'clock ho
had sold $ HKJOOI ) worth ol broken lots. Thcro
are at least' n do/.en other brokers in tills
line and it is safe to assume that they did
their share of Hie business. It seemed as if
the ticker would never stop recording trades
in odd lots. These purchases are unusually
important now , as it means that just 10
much slock is being taken out of Iho street
ami nut in tin uoxcs. The investor abroad
has also awakened to tlio fact that some
American securities are wortli having and
in consequence every I-iondon house hero
had i orders to liny. The cable was kept
bus.\ all day long with orders and reports of
if purchases. i Up to t o'clock consorvntlvo
estimates put the forciun purchases at 40-
000 shares , including St. Paul , Krle , At-
chisun , Louisville & Nashville , Northern Pa
cific common and preferred , Ontario & West
ern , Norfolk ft Western preferred. Thurs
day's steamers will take out over 75,000
shares of various stocks.

Tlio clearing house committee was iu
session until this afternoon. The long con
ference gave th.0 minor bureau an opportu
nity to start the report thai a large bank
was in trouble and the announcement of an
issiio of $ ltt , : > 0.000 of clearing house curtl-
Jicates lent some strength to this report.
hater the amount of certificates was said to
bo only 150.000 , but at the end of the incut-
ing the cleaving house ollU'ials stated that
thoorlgiiml amount , of $ li"iO,0)0 ! ( ) was riglit.
Their long session , they said , was dun to
thu large amount of work boforu them in
the way of shifting loans , caused largely by
the great depreciation in prices yesterday.
They emphatically deny the story of a bunk :
being in trouble , nnd said that , every bank in
the clearing liouso and , as lar as they know ,
every outside bum : in llio city , was in good
shape. Those who mot at the clearing
house were ail of llio opinion that the situa
tion was .somowhat butler , but still serious.
As yet no statements have boon given out
by Iho firms of Nicholas and Dumont , which
suspended yesterday.
Sterling cxcliangu was demoralized this
morning. The posted rales wcro reduced

heavy purchases of stocks for foreign ac

croa.Ho in tlio supply of lulls against grain
