The s'Lord Gordon" An,ir u Tempest In

The arrest OF Gordon ia Manitoba BY United
States detectives Is looked lpon here as involving
no difficulty OF diplomatic nature II the o1lcers
made the arrest illegally the British boun-
dary lines they ameuab.e to the British courts
and the state Department can only inter
to the extent oil asking remission OF
any penalty that may be awarded against them ON
the ground OF want oil criminal inseut; and as
matter VI courtesy, there Is but little
DOUBT that the request would be granted. II
should be deemed BY the British authorities that

his powers, or Is In any manner improperly mixed
up In the snsir, the Governor General Of the
Dominion Of Canada, to which manitoba belongs.
may revoke hts exequarur. For this there u no
remedy, a. is right and custom Of every nation
to refuse q c0nunuel recognition TO diplomatic or
consular agents who may IN any manner have
made themselves Objectionable to tue governments
to which they have been accredited. Consul Taylor
Is citizen OF minnesota, rom which State he was
appointed. 1t Is believed that he has acted as he
deemed tine duties OF his ONCE required. Whether
there any proper cause OF com laint against him
can only be ascertaned on tae reception BY the
State Depar ment OF the complete details OF the
transaction. 1t is said he Will be fully sustained

Caleb Cunning Versus Fernando Woods
DoG-A Curious Case.
suit Of novel description has been entered
be ore the district Courts IN this city BY Caleb
Cushing. neighbOr Of his has Is dog which Keeps
up al incessant barking both day and night, very
much to the annoyance OF this distinguished gen.
tleman. He claims that II disturbs his rest
at night and very materially intcrferes
with hts studies and the transaction Of
business durnf the day; that both his health
and his professional duties suffer thereby. and
he asks that damages be awarded him to The
amount OF $4,000 against the owner Of the dog
Though the Case may seem some nat amusing IL
contains the important point as to whether any
person can keep an animal, even within his own
enclosed property. which by its noise interteres
with the peace and COMFORT OF the neIghborhood.
The decision, therefore. is looked Tor with some-
thing OF nteres BY the quiet and sleep-lovng peo-
pie OF Washington, and should tue veteran lawyer
and dp0masist win his case. 1t will be but the pre-
cursor Of many more suits Of q similar character,
unless the owners OF the nowlng and barking
nuisances should take warning from the verdict,
and 80 eriectuslly muzze the animals as to prevent
any more complaints. 1t will be queer complaint
to Cushing Tor the washing onians hereafter to
remember aim IN connection with 1.-THE dog days."
It appears tat the nominal defendant, Mr.. Kelly,
Is IN char,e OF Fernando Woods residence, and the
dog Is the property Of the New YORK Representative.
Before drawing up his complaint Mr.. Cushing con-
suited with well-kuOwn spanish barrister, who
sustains intimate professional relations with Mr..
Cushing and who advised him that In spain both
the law and the administration OF justice ut all
times Afforded ample protection to the 81, ject In
such cases. SO that Doth by the civil and the COM
mon law mir. cushing deems his case complete. Mr..
Kelly relies upon q paI,-up corporation license to
justify his retention OF the dog.
Judge Miller and the Chiof Justtceshtps
The name OF Justice Samuel F. Miller Is prcm-
nently urged Tor the Chief Justiceship, and his per-
sonal friends are among the Presidents intimate
