Bantvirse, T, June 21.—At4:30 yesterday afternoon occurred the most terrible stormn that ever struck this section. The scene of the worst part of the storm was six miles north of this city at what is known as the Deacon Hunt school house. Two clouds met and burst. The school house was the first object in the track of the storm und was entirely swept away, together with the inmates, con- sisting of the teacher and six pupils, Peter Reames, a peddler who lived near Paw Paw, was passing the 00l house with a team and wagon. His dead body was later found lodged in a willow fence, but his team cannot be found, . The following are the names of those killed at the school house: MAGGIE McBRIDE, teacher. EDNA HUNT.

The whole country from n to Paw-Paw, in Lee county, is marked with ruin, At least fifty farm houses and other buildings were wrecked and eight more persons killed.

Germany Secures an Important Cession from Great Britain, A VERY VALUABLE STRATEGIC POINT. The Inhabitants Opposed to Becoming Sulbjects of the Teutonic Governs ment, But That Makes no Difference. [Copuright 189 by New York Associated Press.) BenrLiy, June 21.—During the prolonged sitting of the bundesrath Chancellor Caprivi explained the aims of the government in con- cluding the Anglo-German agreement rela- tive to African territory. He dwelt on the immense importance of the strategic value of Heligoland and recalled the fact that during the war of 1870 it was nece: to detach & large force to guard against ible French landing at the mouth of a pos the Wehr and Elbe rivers and lay submarine mines to protect the water approaches to Hamburg and Bremen. He produced an opinion from Von Maltke that Heligoland could be so fortified and that it would be equivalent to a large increase in the German army in the event of war. The bundesrath unanimously approved the compact and con- gratulated tie emperor and chancellor, to whose initiative the cession of the island to Germany by England was due. The report that Lord Salisbury spontane- ously offered to cede the island is in dive variance with the fact that Count Von Haz- feldt handed to Lord Salisbury two weeks agoa formal demand from Chancellor von Caprivi making the cession of the island an absolute condition of an English protectorate in Zanz The English government prob- ably will not like to produce the opinion of military cxperts on the value of Heligoland., Here the strategic importance of the island is universally recognized. Ad- miral Henlks' paper, written in 1882, is largely quoted as proving how groatly the possession of the island strengthens Germany. Before long Admiral Henks' idea of a great island will be realized. The opinion of the people of the island does not count with either gov know nment.

LCopyright 189 by James Gordon Bennett,| Losvoy, June 21.--[New York Heruld Cable—Special to Tneg Bee]—I witneased an extraordinary scene on the terrace of the house of commons Friday night. A burge rowed up, a transparency was hoisted andl in a few minutes a series, of pictures ore thrown upon it. The first was a portraiy of Mr. Gladstone, which was received with much clapping of hands by the Irish members who had collected on the terrace, evidewtly knowing what was to take place, This was followed by various scenes illus- trating the shadowing process by the police, cruelty and evictions, interferenco with meetings and other incidents in the Ypish struggle. A man in the birge with stentalian voice shouted out the mrlplionu of these views, ! The members in the library and smoking rooms all came to the windows amazed ay the daring intrusion on the sacred territory. “Where is the sergeant-dt-arms1” was the question passed from oweto another, but no one answered, The speaker's house is at one end of the terrace and as the dread functionary wu at home at the time it is all the more wondyyful that this demonstration was permitted, Will- iam O'Brien was the hero of several thrilfing pictures, The stentorian voice cried out: “Don’ksay now, members of parlinment, that you have not seen what goes on i poor Ireland.Y A uuwiber of persons then started singing, ‘{dod Save Ireland,” the chor@s being taken up by sveral Irish members of the terrace, The whole river front of the parliajent houses was now in a state of no small exvite- ment. The police looked on without attempt- ing to interfere, evidoutly influenced by so many applauding M. P.'s. It is stated that two nationalists werh on board the presumptious barge. Still huMing their deflant song, “God Save Ireland,” at the British parliament, the home ruld in- vaders set all authority at defiance aund moved off shortly beforo Riduight amid - other burst of cheering.

The Senate Takes up the Honse Sup- plementary Bill in Refe to Bigamy in the Terri- tory of Utah. nce Wasmivaroy, June 21.—-In the house today, after the reading and approving of yeste duy's journal, Mr Bland moved to reconsider the vote by which the yeas and nays ®ere or- dered upon Mr, MeKinley's motion to table his (Bland's) appeal from the decision of the chair yesterday, declining to entertain his motion to take the silver bill from the speak- er's table, He announced that he desired to withdraw his appeal, but Mr, McKinley sisted on a vote, so Mr. Bland’s motion to re- consider was put and defeated—90 to 120, ‘The roll was called on Mr, McKinléy's mo- tion to table Mr. Bland's appeal and it pre- vailed—yeas, 1463 nays, 45, All the free coinage men ' excopt Dehaven, who did not vote, voted to table the appeal, as well as the following democrats : Bucka- low, Campbell, Dunphy, Fiteh, Geissenhain- er, Lew McAdoo, Mutchler and Tracey. A large number of democrats refused to vote at all. Mr. Forman of Tllinois, rising to a question of privilege, said the journal showed that he was present and refused to vote when the administrative customs bill was passed, when as a matter of fact he was in Spring- field, Ils, The regular order being demaded, the speaker said the question had been discussed yesterday as to the coudition of the bill (sil- ver bill), which bhad been referred by the speakar and the record of ‘which | n. tho journal . had not been concurred in by the house had ‘been said to be effaced. The rules required that such bills be referred and a statement to that effect should be put in the journal and record. The statement was made and the house saw fit to not permit it to become part of the journal, which left it a somewhat dificult question as to the status of the bill. Indi- vidually the chair believed, as did the gentle- man from owa (Conger), that a_refusal to record the fact did not” obliterate the fact itself, The action of the house might have its origin in another motive—that it would not give its sanction to record in the journal a transaction which it de- sired to subvel and while it might scem to the chair that some definite action should be taken by the house, yet, as the gentlemen might have noticed, parliamen- tary law did not scem to be an exact science. [Laughter und applause on tho democratic side]. The chair, however, desied to give the house all proper opportinity for the tran- wction of business which it might desire, subje.t to the rates, The reference was made in accordance with the custom which had prevailed ever since the establishment of the rules. The chair believed the senate amend- ments to the ame within the view ibed that any amend- ic ilver bill of rule 20, which pres ment made by the senate to any hoise Dill must be considered first in committee of the whole if it would have been so liable had it originated in the house, The senate amendments to this bill struck out the first section and substi- tuted another section containing no words of preparation and proposing a different line of action, to-wit: ‘“Fashioning of silver bars and coining of all silver presented instead of the purchase of silver bullion.” This and other substitutions were plainly new propo- sitions, requiring consideration in committee of thewhole. Under these circumstances the chairannounced to the house that the bill had been referred to the committee on coinage, weights and measures, Mr, Bland of Missouri appealed from the decision and procceded to argue the appro- priation clause in the original house bill, and the bill us it came from the senate was the same in terms and purpose and was not sub- jeet to refercuce to the committee of the whole. Besides he held that the point was made too lute. Mr. Springer declared that the silver bill was the only one which had been subjected to this kind of treatment. Mr. Peters of Kunsas suid that all the gen- eral appropriation bills took the same course. Mr. Springer denied the statement and challenged the speaker or any one else to pro- duce a single similur instance, This was an attempt to revolutionize—the rules them- selves were revolutionary in conception. The republicans and th:ir speaker were dodging the silver question, M. Crisp of Georgia said it was evident that there was a deliberate intention to pre- vent a direct vote upon this question. This was the only upv‘ol'tunit ¢ to get a vote on free coinage, If the speaker was sus- tained and the bill went to the committe, if it ever again came from the house it would como under @ rule that would keep it entirely within the control of the gold men, who would alone be recognized to move amend- ments. If the free coinage men would do their duty they could getavote upon the proposition before the sun went down. Mr. Herman of Oregon said the silver question wus an issuc at every election held in his state. Hehad agreed to support the republican state platform, declaring in favor of free coinage. Mr. Fitch of New York said it was plain that yesterday’s proceeding was a victory for free coinage. - When it came to that point he would refuse longer to combine with the frec coinage republicans and vote to refer the bill th the proper committce, The gentleman from Georgia (Crisp), was slightly mistaken in his estimate of party position, for at least some d ts from New York would refuse to vote ree coinage Mr. Perking of Kansas said there was a purpose not to secure free coinage, but to force through a measure that the president would be obliged to veto. The democratic ty would wregk business in the streets of country if #f so doing they could advance the interests of the democratic party, Mr. Henderson of lowa held up the urgent deficieny appropriution Uill as an fnstance of @ bill thut had taken the same course, 5 t to put & question, but ed him off with the re- mark: “I will not yicld to you; you are bobbing up all the time.”” Continuing, he sald he wanted silver legislation, He did not ¢ @ snap for the money lenders of Wall street or the great mine owners of the west He stood for the laborer and farmer, The bill would come back from the committee, Mvr.

Pans, June 21.—[Speeial Cablegram to Tue Bee.]—The reception of Senhor Itajuba, the representative of Brazil, by President rmot yesterday completes the first official recoguition which the Brazilian republic hus reccived in Burope, Seubor Itajuba wi long time in the Brazilian diplomatic service under the emporer. He was prompt, how- ever, in tendering his services to the republic. Tho minister then in Paris, Baron Penedo, on the other hand, refused to recognize the republic und’ tendered his _resig- nation to the emperor. Senhor Ttajuba was immediately noted and sent to Paris, but was not reccived by the French government. The long deluy which followed caused the Brazilian gov - ment some embarrassment and the new min- was even falling under suspician as not being suciently zealous in his efforts to se- cure recognition, A curious explanation of the delay is now given by M. Deloncle, a member of the IFrench chamber of deputies, according to whom F'rance has only recognized the repub- lic now on condition that the Br government make a prompt settlement, cither ty arbitration or direct treaty, of its old territorial dispute with France respecting the boundaries of French Guinea. M. Dcloncle claims that the settlement can be made which will not doubt the territory of French Guinea, and there bility of France getting a territory six times as great as is now included in the French colony. In any case, he insists France cannot fail to se- cure the left bank of the Amazon between Macapa and the sea. Macapa will thus become a French port and France will be the only European power established on the Amazon, and will have the privilege of navigating and trading on that iver, The wealth of which the future, M. Deloncle thinks, will surpass that of the Nile or the Congo. Senhor Gabriel de Piza, the new Brazillan minister to Germany, has arrive this city and will proceed in a week or two to Berlin, The Brazilians are very hopeful that the recognition of their republic by Germany will Soon follow. Senhor de Pizi was edi- cated in Amcerica. Ho has long been a prowi- nent Brazilian republican. SUGAR TRUST CERTIFICATE! Adoption of the House Confe Report Surprises Them.
