The Streets Of Washington.

Mrs. Rayne IN the Detroit Free Press.
i amused myself yesterday taking some memory
sketches OF Washington streets Everybody here
takes to the middle OF the streets and avoids, II
possible, the brick sidewalks Just within my line
or vision was lively panorama. An old darkey In
a soldiers overcoat with pair OF enormous carpet
shoes on, met a well-dressed diplomat. Then a
colored woman bearing pail OF something on her
head, two fashionable ladies, two maids In bright
blue circulars thrown back with scarlet faclngs,
and wearing white caps tied with long streams OF
wide scarlet more-theSe belong 10 the Corean le-
cation; and then "can stored urn or animated
bust" have come TO life? Two Chinese mandarins
who look as II they had just stepped out or a tea
tray, and so 1t goes on, the surangest, Trserest
procession, each one adding a value OF light or
shade TO the highly -coored picture. About sun-
Set a little after, there Is blizzard OF darkness
In the upper strata or air. II looks like cloud OF
black butterflies, but the rhythmic beat OF wings
betrays them-it is the Maryland crows going over
to Virginia to sleep In the pines Every night they
60 over, and every morning they return TO their
feeding grounds In Maryland. They are so high
that they do not seem larger than swallows. and
Washington children will tell you they never saw
Q crow IN their lives.

Love with It's Irish Policy.
Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Feb. 2L-The new members from Dun
dee and southwark took their seats In the house OF
commons yesterday amidst enthusiasting cheering
by the Gladslonian opposition. The government
had persistently declared that the country sup
ported their Irish policy they had really persuaded
themselves 1t was so. Therefore they are thunder
struck by the bellgerent attitude and dauntless
energy OF their opponents. Already 1t appears as
though the tories were looking for a scape-goat.
There arc complaints from the Independent sup
porters OF the government about BalIours reply to
OBrien last Friday. They maintain that he
should have answered OBrien Immediately in
stead OF waiting till the next day. They also al
lege that the reply was not equal to the dignity
OF The occasion. Balfour'S more ardent admirers,
however, are organizing complimentary dinner
In his honor. The DAILY Ne,os Today makes C ,pi-
tai sport OF the views or It's unionlst contempor-
a1es and the recent elections. contrasting their
utterances.
BEFORE AND AFTER THE EVENTS
Before the election at Southwark the Chronicle
thought It would be the real test OF home rule
sympathirs In the metropolis After the election
the Gu onicte was amazed that so much was made
OF It, seeing that home rule had little to do with
me failure OF tue ministerial Candidates. The
Times just before the Edinburgh election printed
speech by Mr. Saunderson, in which he said he
knew well what the government thought OF the
SAcCtiOu duu W Win IL WOulu 10 more kOOu IMAM
f1ve ordinary conservative victories. After the
election The Times said The result showed the
danger to inherent democratic government OF
electors imperfecty acquainted with the facts and
arguments on which sound political judgment Is
founded. The Advertiser alone admits that the
government
has SUSTAINED A GRAVE DEFEAT
which may lead to. liberal majority. The
Chronicle adds that the Southwark result was
due to the prohibition OF meetings at Trafalgar
Square. Doubtless there is q slight amount OF
truth In this contention although the evidence is
overwhelming that the Irish question was put In
the forefront OF the battle.
