MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER

the complete severance OF the ties OF origin
al allegiance by naturalization. Disputes
on this point were finally put at rest by the
treaty Of naturalization concluded by the
two countries ON the 18th of March, 1870.
Therefore IL will not be contended, nor was
such contention ever admitted by us, that
citizens of the United States of British Ori-
gin are subject to any claim Of the country
of their original allegiance.
"The undersigned also has the honor to
call attention to the provisions of section
5335 of the revised statutes of the United
States by which severe penalties are visited
upon the citizen of the United States who,
without the authority or permission of this
government commences or carries on any
verbal or written correspondence or inter-
course with any foreign government or any
officer or agent thereof, either with an in
tent to influence the action of such govern
ment or its agents, in relation to any dis
pute or controversies with the United States,
OF with any intent to defeat the measures,
of the government of the United States
These penalties are made equally applicable
to every citizen of the United States, not
duly authorized, who 'counsels, advises, or
assists in any such correspondence with
similar unlawful intent

''The undersigned respectfully advises
that the attention of the Attorney General
of the United States be directed to these en-
actments in order that an investigation may
be made, with a view to ascertaining
whether they have not been violated in the
present case by the correspondent of the
British minister.
"By your direction the attention of the
British government has in spirit of comfy
been called to Jhs conduct of its minister, as
above described, but without result. 1t there
fore becomes essary for this government
t. consider whether, as the guardian of
its own self respect and of the integrity of
its institutions, it will permit further inter
course to be held through the present Brit
ish minister at this capital. 1t Is to be OBJ
served that precedents are not wanting as
to the question under consideration. 1t is
settled rule, essential TO the maintenance of
international intercourse, that diplomatic
representative must be persona grata TO the
government to which he is accredited. II
by his conduct he renders himself persona
non-grata an announcement of the fact may
be made to his government. In the present
case all the requirements of comfy have
been fulfilled, the facts having been duly
communicated to her ma ajesty's government,
with an expression of the opinion of this
government in regard thereto. Respect

Mary Ann Irvine. one of the most noted
characters Of Dakota. is dead. During her
residence OF thirteen years I'm the vicinity
OF Sioux Falls, she proved herself most
venomous Amazon; had lived and died In
the utmost filth and squalor. leaving thou
sands OF dollars OF accumulated wealth. No
woman in Dakota, nor probably man. was
more dreaded by all who came in contact
with her than Mrs. Irvine. Vicious. re-
Vengeful and mean. she would hesitate to
do nothing against the person or property
OF one who had incurred her hatred.
For years she figured prominently at
nearly every term OF court as defendant in
various charges, such as applying the torch
TO the property OF neighbors who had
aroused her passions. threatening their
lives, etc. A loaded revolver was her con-
slant companion. and many a man has been
made its target.
1t has always been believed that Mrs. Ir-
vine had more To do with the murder of
Mrs. Egan in 1882 than Mr.. Egan. who was
hanged for the crime. She and Egan were
intimate. and many circumstances impli-
Gated her in the murder; but no one dared
to testify against her. and Egan himself re-
fused to "squeal." For the last two years
she had been living In Sioux Falls. and her
reign had been one of terror to the neigh
borhood. for, no matter how much she inn
posed upon her neighbors. they quietly
submitted rather than make themselves the
objects OF her Vengeance. In hunting
through her hovel Immediately alter her
death several chickens which she had stol-
en- from a neighbor were found in the cellar.
No one ever darkened her doors. and it
was only very short time before she died
that even her own children dared to enter
her house. When it was discovered that she
was dying. and she was asked II a physi-
clan should not be sent for. she objected to
incurring so great an expense. and not until
she had struck a bargain with the doctor
for his fee would she allow any medicines
TO be administered Her sleeping room
was found so full Of all manner Of filthy rub
bish that much of il had TO be dumped out
of doors before the attendants could find
room to get in or endure the stencil. After

Secretary Bayard's Letter to Mr.. Cleve-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-By direction oi
the President the Secretary Of State has in
formed Lord Sackville that for causes here
tofore made known to her Majesty's gov.
ernment his continuance in his present
official position in the United States is nc
longer acceptable 20 this government, and
would, consequently, be detrimental to the
relations between the two countries.

At the British legation access was denied
to all newspaper men and they were in
formed that Lord Sackville had nothing to
say. Your reporter managed, however, to
have a copy of the report of Secretary Bay
ard TO the President sent to the Minister
After about half an hour Lord Sackville i'm
person returned the copy and cordially ex-
pressed his thanks for having had an op-
portunity to read the report, which he said
he had not seen before. He declined to ex-
press any opinion in regard to it, Lord
Sackville wore pleasant smile and he did
affairs had taken.
Mr.. Bayard interviewed.
Secretary Bayard when seen said that
there was nothing he could say in addition
to what was stated in his report to the
President The governments action, he
said, constituted complete severance Of our
relations with Minister West The Secretary
did not care to enter into any speculation as
to what Great Britain would do in the mat
ter or as to when new minister would be
sent here, but Sackville, he said, would no
longer be recognized in any event Secre-
tary Bayard declined absolutely to give out
anything in regard to spirit in which the
communications of the United States were
received by the British government. The
matter, he said, was the subject of letters
or messages between two parties, and
neither had the right to give out the con-
tents of these communications without the
consent of the other. What has taken
place between the President and himself he
had given to the press, but the other cor
respondence he did not feel at liberty to
make public

The Widows Answer.

The following unique letters, which
many years ago created a great sensa-
tion among manuscript hunters, passed
between Widow Mary Trumbull of New
London and her suitor, whose name il
lost. They we're written in 1903. The
widow had reputation for patriotism
and intelligence. He wrose thus, pro-
posing marriage:
"DEAR MADAM-In fascination OF the
happy reputation you possess in the
nation, j have strong inclination to be-
come your relation. Upon your appro-
baton of this declaration / shall
make preparation for our nuptial cele-
bration, and shall buy n cosy habita-
