WE DO NOT think that this. Administra-
tion will have the hardhood to attempt to
have legislation enacted that will make it
a crime for American citizens to do that
toward England which England allowed
Italian and French refugees to do toward
the Governments of Italy and France, and
southerners TO do against this country
during our war; nor do we
believe that the Administration will bo so
weak and un-American as to interfere in
these matters at all at the request, much
less the demand of the British Govern
ment. But if it should do either of these
things the Republican party will be buried

The Death or Donoyan.

After hearing all the testimony in rela.
tion to the death of Dennis Donovan, the
coroner's jury returned verdict Of 'deatb
from drowning and violence at the hands
of some unknown person or persons" The
death of Donovan is one of the most mys.
terious and tragic which has ever occurred
in this District. 1t has in 1t all the situa-
tions of dime novel. The place where
the tragedy occurred is dark bridge, down
secluded street, at the foot Of a steep
flight Of stairs. After dark tho place Is
almost as black as midnight. The scuflie
that was heard by Miss Swami and the
splash in the water that followed were
described by her in terribly realistic
manner. Along the handrail of the bridge
were bloody finger marks, and in one place
was o distinct print in blood of man:
hand, showing where the deceased had tried
to save himself from death.

AN EXCITING SCENE,



In which Young Girl, Her Lover.
an Irate Father, Two Indignant
brothers and n Hack man Figure.
An exciting scene took place on Mary
land avenue, between First and Second
streets northwest, about 1 o'clock this
morning, in which young lady, clad in a
ball costume, a lover, q father, two brothers
and hack driver figured. About the hour
named a carriage drove rapidly down
Maryland avenue and stopped in front of a
well-known house of evil repute in that
neighborhood. The door was opened
quickly by the driver and the pair
emerged and started toward the house in
question.
At that moment three men, who had
evidently been concealed OH the opposite
side of the street, crossed over and hailed
the girl and her escort. The girl looked
around in frightened manner and ex-
claimed:
"My God 1t is my father and brothers -
This settled the escort, who dashed up
the street like wildfre, pursued by two of
the men, while the other member Of the
indignant trio made for the girl.
The hackman came to the girls rescue,
not understanding the situation, and was
promptly knocked down by the irate
father. Shortly afterward the brothers re-
turned without having captured the gay
lover who has probably not stopped run
ming yet, and after appeasng the injured
honor of the hackman, the party embarked
in his vehicle and left for more virtuouT
neighborhood The transaction only lasted
few minutes, but in that time the excite
nent was intense,
