BATTI.E IN THE COMMONS.

LONDON, July 28.—There was a riot in the house of commons Thursday night, and as a result several members are nursing' bruised faces and lacerated scalps. It was brought about by an attaok on the Irish by Joseph Chamberlain, to which T. P. O'Connor made reply by calling' Mr. Chamberlain "Judas." It wai not until Speaker Peel was summoned that tho disorder was ended. Then final action was taken on the home rule bill by the house sitting as a committee of the whole, all the clauses being adopted. Never since the days of Parnell has there been such a scene in the house as occurred Thursday night.

On the government programme 10 o'clock was the hour for the closure of the debate in committee on the home rule bill. The parts of the bill left over for the discussions of the last week and for-the divisions were the now financial clauses, tho schedules and the preamble. The galleries of the house were filled with persons expectant of an exoiting scene at the olose of the committee's labors. Few members were absent from the benches on the floor of the house.

Chamberlain Starts a How. The debate had continued with Mr. Mcllor as chairman until 9:45, when Joseph Chamberlain rose to deliver the final argument for the opposition. Aftor a few scornful and biting words as to the conduct of the ministers he began giving his opinion of the closure as applied by the government. lie declared that the debate ou the financial clauses had been a mere sham. The bill had been changed in its most vital features still no debate was regarded as necessary, since whatever was altered the bill was always found perfect by the adherents of the prime minister.

Jeers from the Irish, oheers from the unionists and counter cheers from the liberals interrupted Mr. Chamberlain at this point, lie waited two or three minutes before the confusion abated sufficiently for him to speak without effort. He then proceeded thus: "The prime minister calls 'black,' and his adherents say it is good. The prime minister calls 'white,' and they say it is better. (Unionist laughter.) It is always the voice of God. Never, since the time of Uerod, has there been such."

The Storm Ilrcaks.

Mr. Chamberlain got no further. Immediately resuming his speech he had been warned by mutterings from the Irish benches that a storm was gathering. fie could hardly have expected the suddenness with which it broke, for with his half-finished reference to Herod there came from the nationalists such a roar of indignation as has not been heard in the house since the days of Parnell. Mr. Chamberlain plainly was startled, but he tried to talk on. His voice was in' audible to the members on the next bench. He turned towards the nationalists and shrill yells of execration sounded above the uproar.

O'Connor Cries "Judas."

T. P. O'Connor sprang to his feet, and leaning towards Mr. Chamberlain shouted "Judas" so loudly that the epithot could be heard throughout tho house. The rest of the Irishmen took up the cry and for half a minute shouted "Judas" in chorus. Meantime the clock struck 10. The chairman tried to put the closure but his voice could not be heard amid the shouts of the Irish and the unionists.

An rupreccdented Scene.

Then came a scene unprecedented in parliamentary history. Mr. Mel lor gave in a weak voice the customary directions. The conservatives, however, flatly refused to quit the house. Vicary Gibbs, Gibson Howies and William Hanbury shouted to the chairman that he must first call Mr. O'Connor to order for having called Mr. Chamberlain names. Mr. Mellor protested that he had not heard the epithets in question. Nobody told him what Mr. O'Connor had said, so he sat helpless and unenlightened before the house, while the members crowded forward in excited groups, shaking their fists and shouting tjieir demands.

Curses and Veils of I'alu.

Meantime half of the unionists had climbed to the benches and were shouting "Gag!" "Gag!" Others were struggling in the aisles or between the benches with radical, liberal or Irish antagonists. Curses, yells of pain and gross insults were heard on every side. John Logan (liberal) ran down to the first opposition bench and began upbraiding Edward Carson, a tory. As he shook his fist under Mr. Carson's nose George Wyndham and William Fisher jumped to the assistance of their party colleague, seized Mr. Logan by the neck, threw him to the floor head first and then bundled him under a bench. llcmly's Hat Smashed.

Somebody smashed Tim Ilealy's high hat down over his eyes. Healy tore off the hat and sprang into the aisle in full fighting posture just as Mr. Hanbury, still shouting that the chairman must name Mr. O'Connor, was trying to get by. Mr. Hanbury was knocked pver a bench by the force of the collision before r. 11 ealy got in a blow.

Everybody Fought.

A free fight then broke out at the gangway. The eentor of it was William Redmond. Parnellite, who had taken advantage of the general license to push over Col. Sanderson, the champion of the men of Ulster. Sanderson was rescued and led an attack on the 1'urnellites. lllows were struck right anil left. Members fell and were picked up by their friends

to fight again. The whole space between the front benches was filled with a struggling, cursing mass of members, striking, clawing and upsetting each other. Manful efforts were made to separate the combatants. Both ser-geants-at-arms forced their way through the thick of the fight, but as fast as one group was pacified another came to blows.

Eventually Mr. Gladstone begged Edward Majoribanks, a sturdy young liberal, to do something to stop the fighting. Mr. Majoribanks dug hir way through the tangled mass of belligerents, and by repeated appeals in the name of the premier succeeded in stemming the conflict. Col. Sanderson emerged first from the crowd of fighters. He was holding a bunch of keys to his black eye. Others followed in more or less damaged condition.

Laid It to Gladstone.

Mr. Gladstone, sitting upright, had watched the scene with inflamed face and an expression of sorrow, indignation and astonishment which will never be effaced from the memory of those observing it.

Chairman Mellor sent for Speaker Peel as soon as order was restored. When the speaker entered several conservatives rose, and, pointing to Mr. Gladstone, exolaimad: "There sits the author of it all."

Appealed to Pee!.

The hum of voices died out as Speaker Peel, stern aud dignified, took the chair. A slight cheer was gien for him and then'Mr. Mellor as chairman ofv#he committee reported to Mr. Peel as speaker of the house what had occurred. Sir. Mellor spoke in a low, sorrowful voice, but the members had become so quiet that every word was audible. In response to tho speaker's request several members gave their versions of the trouble. Mr. Mellor repeated that he had not heard the offensive expression, but had ordered that it be taken down and then had summoned the speaker. Mr. Peel then announced that from all accounts he felt positive that the expression used was the original cause of the disorder. He requested Mr. O'Connor to apologize and the latter gentleman did so.

The business of the house was soon after resumed, the remaining clauses of the home rule bill being adopted. When the committee rose and Chairman Mellor reported to Speaker Peel, presiding over the house, the home rule bill as amended in committee, cheer after cheer was given and all hats were waved for Mr. Gladstode by the liberals and Irish, who were answered by the unionists with counter cheers. The report stage was fixed for August 7. Adjourned.

READY TO BLOCKADE.

More French Warships Keach the Gulf of Slam—The King Anxious to Avoid War. BANGKOK, July 28.—M. Pa vie, the French minister resident, has not yet left Siamese waters, owing to the low tide. Seven more French boats, making a total of ten, are reported to be now outside the bar. It is expected that the blockade will commence Sunday. Commerce is stopping in view of the blockade. The consuls here have taken measures for the protection of the residents of their respective nationalities. It is admitted here that the foreign officers in the service, of Siam will probably resign if there is any fighting with France.

Notice has been given of the blockade by the French fleet. Outgoing vessels have been warned that they must clear from Bangkok and Kob-si-Cluing before Saturday or submit to detention. The blockade will extend along the entire north coast of the Gulf of Siam. The French fleet, with M. Pavle, French minister resident, has gone to Koli-Si-Chang. The general expectation is that early in August the French fleet will attack Bangkok and land some 5,000 men. There is little doubt here that France's purpose is to make Siam a French colony.

The Siamese government is exceedingly anxious to avoid open warfare. When the gunboat Lutin was at the Menam bar early Thursday morning the foreign minister sent to M. Pavie a note to the effect that the king and his ad visers were most anxious to maintain peace. All such efforts, however, are believed by the English residents to be vain. Unless England intervenes to assist in a settlement of the dispute there can be little expectation, or even hope, that France will refrain from extreme measures.

In a Receiver's Hands.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., July 28.—The American Tube fe Iron company lias passed into the hands of a receiver. The company owns two of the largest wrought iron pipe mills in the country, one at Voungstown, O., and the other at Middletown, Pa. The annual business done amounts to 5,000,000. Refusal of bankers to advance them money on notes given in payment for goods caused the company to take the step. The liabilities are 91,250,000 and assets 12,700,000.

Fatal Accident at a Bridge. PUEBLO, Col., July 28.—During the storm of Wednesday night a Union Pacific coal train coming from Pueblo to Trinidad was crossing a bridge at Bessemer Junction when the bridge, which had been washed by the floods of water, weakened and gave way. The train was precipitated into the water. N. Henderson, the engineer, was instantly killed, and W. E. Nye, fireman, so badly injured that he cannot recover.

NEW YORK, Jul}'

28.—It is estimated

tliut $»,000,000 in gold will be shipped from London for this city Saturduy. The engagement of $1,000,000 by Lazard Freres and tho further drop of the exchange rates constituted the most important development of Thursday morning. A more stable money market would be of great assistance to intending importers, for it is difficult to calculate upon tho result of a shipment with call loans at 5 per cent, per annum one minute and per cent, per diem and interest the next, Still foreign houses are looking for a large import movement of the precious metal. Money at the stock exchange opened per cent, per diem and interest, which is equal to 51% per cent, per annum. Later there was a decline of 40 per cent. It is idle to talk of a quotation for time money and mercantile paper as long as call loans command these figures.

Could Not Open Their Doors.

POUTLAND, Ore., July

28.—TheOregon

national bank and Northwest Loan Trust company, kindred institutions, failed to open their doors Thursday morning. The notices on the door say that, owing to the withdrawl of deposits and the inability to realize on securities, the bauk was forced to suspend. The suspension causcd no excitement and there was no appreciable effect on the other b'inks of the city. George B. Markle, the president of both concerns, says the depositors will be paid in full. The Oregon national bank has a paid in capital stock of $200,000. Its last statement, pnblishcd July 12, shows total resources of $750,000 and liabilities of 5450,000. The chief creditor is Multnomah county, the deposit of which amounts to nearly $300,000. The city of Portland had also on deposit some 820,000. J. L. Hartman, assignee of the Northwest Loan & Trust company, filed a statement of the assots and liabilities. The total liabilities are put at $600,000 and the assets 8860,000.

Two Montana Hanks Suspend.

HELENA, Mont., July 28. After standing a heavy drain for the last month two of Helena's oldest and strongest banks were compelled to suspend payment Thursday morning. They were the First national and the Montana national. The former is the oldest in the city, with ex-Gov. Hauser as president. Its capital and surplus are over $1,250,000. The latter was founded by the late Col. Broadwater and had a capital and surplus of $750,000, assets of $1,750,000, and liabilities of $900,000. Within the last week the First national paid out over $1,000,000 and the Montana national nearly $500,000 to withdrawing depositors. Both have ample assets, but could not realize fast enough to get cash to meet the run. Other banks are standing the run well.

Closed by Country Depositors. PoitTAGE, Wis., July 28.—The run upon the banks of this city, which commenced Wednesday, was believed to be over at the hour of closing and people breathed freer, but Thursday morning the country depositors came with their certificates in such numbers that the City bank was compelled to close its doors. Shortly after the First national tendered its depositors good securities or 50 per cent, in cash and an extension on the balance. They are confident of their ability to continue business on that plan. The creditors of the City bank are uniting in extend ing time for the payment of their cer tificates six months and requesting the directors to resume business, which is likely to be done.

Neal C'urrie Makes an Assignment. ST.

PAUL, Minn., July 28.—The mercantile houses of Neal Currie at Tracy and Currie, Minn., were closed Thursday and Currie assigned to A. R. Chace, of Marshal. No statement of debts and assets is obtainable, but both are ex pected to exceed $100,000. Currie was not long ago crippled by the failure of two public enterprises in which he had expended $50,000 of his private fortune.

Two Sparta (Wis.) Banks Suspend. SPAHTA, Wis., July 28.—The Bank of Sparta and M. A. Thayer & Co.'s bank in this city suspended payment Thursday afternoon.

A GHASLTY SCENE.

Electrocution at Auburn Proves a •y Horrible Failure.

THE VICTIM IS TORTURED TO DEATH.

The Dynomo Falls to Kill at the First Contact—The Man Lives, Writhing, But Unconscious, While an Hour

Is Spent In Its Stcpalr.

AUBUKN, N. Y., July 28.—The attempt to electrocute Murderer William G. Taylor by electricity at the prison here was attended by a horrible accident. The force of the electrical current gave out, and the board to which one of his feet was strapped broke. One current of 1,700 volts had been administered before the accident occurred, but it was not strong enough to kill him. When the physicians, one of whom was a woman—the first to view an execution by electricity—rushed forward to determine if Taylor were dead they were startled to find that he was still breathing. The electrode board to which his foot was fastened was shoved into place and the electrician signaled to turn on the current ngain, but the dynamo had given out and the current did not reach the death chair.

A Horrible Scene.

During the brief space of time the attempt to introduce a second current consumed Taylor showed signs of returning consciousness, and while the excited physicians and elacricians were debating the question of the best thing to do he began to groan, his body twitched against the strap that had held his head, arms and legs in place. The body of the murderer was lifted from the chair and pluaed on a cobr' Morphine was freely administered and preparations were made to secure power from the city electriclight plant to take the place of the exhausted dynamo. In the meantime Taylor was alive, but appeared to be In a state of pronounced apoplexy. He was lying on his back, breathing heavily and groaning. The physicians in attendance said the force of the first current had simply rendered him unconscious. He would recover, they thought, and the only way to carry out the sentence of the law was to again place him in the chair.

Second Trial Successful.

Almost an hour elapsed between the time the first shock was administered and the time Taylor was placed in the deatli chair for the second time. He was first placed in the chair at 12:45 o'clock, and it was 1:05 before connection was obtained from the city's elec-tric-light plant. During all this time Taylor was kept under tho influence of morphine, but breathed regularly and groaned and writhed. When the connection was finally made with the city electric plant Taylor was lifted into the chair and strapped as before. The signal was then given and the full force of the current, said to have been 1,900 volts, was shot into his writhing body. It required a contact of only a few seconds to complete the work of the first current. In less than half a minute the current was turned off and the attending physicians declared Taylor dead. A third contact of half a seoond was shot into the body to make certain work of the first.

Taylor murdered Solomon Jackson, a white man and a fellow-inmate of the Auburn prison, September 20, 1899. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death January 19.

FLOOD AT PUEBLO.

PUEULO, Col., July 28.—About 1 o'clock a. m. a terrible flood came down the river from the Grand canyon of Arkansas. The water broke over the levee in two places, and the entire low er portion of the city was threatened. The city hall has now 5 feet of water on three sides of it, and all the basements in that block are filled. A break west of the city resulted in flooding that portion west of the Union depot and Victoria avenue. The loss will be nearly 1100,000. The water works were completely shut oft, and in the midst of the excitement a fire broke out, but was extinguished with chemicals. Hundreds of poor people living in the fiats have fled from their homes to higher ground. Seven lives are reported to have been lost, but no definite knowledge is known of this phase of the storm.
