cLAN-NA-oAEL IN DANGER.
British Authorities Prepared to invoke
Federal Aid When IL Is NecasaarY.

British Authorities Prepared to Invoke
Federal Aid When IL is Necessary.
WASHINGTON, d, c., June 13.-The
question has arisen whether the revelations
made at Chicago touching the inner pro-
ceedings and purposes OF the Clan-na. Gael
will bring the society into collision with the
Federal Government. l am advised that
the only ground OF governmental inter
ference with the order is to be found In
section 5,2S6 OF the Revised Statutes Of the
United States, which is as follows:
Section $3.50. Every person who, within
the territory or jurisdiction of the United
States, begins, or sets on foot, Or provides or
prepares the means for any military expedi-
fion or enterprise TO be carried on from
thence against the territory or dominions of
any foreign prince or State, or of any colony,
district or people, with whom the United
States are at peace, shall be deemed guilty
OF a high misdemeanor and shall be fined not
exceeding $1,000 and imprisoned not more
than three years.
The Clan being secret order the Federal
Government has not acquired knowledge Of
any violation OF that statute by members Of
the order and 1t is doubtful II the acts aud
preparations Of the society have yet been
definite enough to bring anybody practi-
cally within the penalty OF the statute.
The British Government has been kept
well informed Of all the doings Of the order,
but has not sought to have law set In mo-
tion, preferring to wait for the possibility
of an amendment Of the statute In the d.
rection OF stringency. In fact, the current
and ample knowledge always possessed by
the British Government has robbed the
order Of any terrors in the direction pro-
fessedly aimed at by Its constitution.
Occasionally the British Minister infor-
mally shows TO the Secretary OF State or TO
member of the Committee on Foreign
Relations when Congress is In session, a
minute from the Foreign Office, summarize
ing some recent dOings Of the Clan-na-Gael.
This is Just to let the people In authority
know that the hospitality Of the United
States is being fagrantly abused and to pre-
pare their minds for right understanding
erto characterized the order should unex-
pectedly change into mischievous activ-
ity.-[Special to the New York Herald.

There arc not any Buddenseik builders
here In Washington of course, but still
some buildings are not too strong a
few people In the northeastern part of
the city have been somewhat amused Mt
the course of the building Of block Of
four two.story and basement houses.
Lots of people never notice such things,
but lots more do and those that noticed
these houses were surprised to sec that
after they had been built up to the
second story with considerable rapidity,
one morning The walls were down again
almost to the foundations and the
mortared bricks they had been built Of
fallen down. This Is what had hap
pened. And no wonder The partition
walls were built of single thickness,
the width of brick, and the outside
walls Of but two thicknesses. The NOR
tar was freely used and when the beams
for the upper floor were put in place
their weight was too much for the
shabby walls and they had tumbled
down! The rebuilt houses are finished
now and waiting for tenants.

The ailanhis tree is now at It's un-
pleasantest, and hundreds of them are
all over town. Less than hundred of
these trees are public property--that
Is, there are less than hundred on the
streets and under the control of the
public authorities. But there are prob
ably between 500 and 1000 of the trees
in the city, by far the greater number
being on private ground, where the
authorities cannot do anything about
them unless complaint is made But
If there Is one of these disagreeable
trees near where you live, and it annoys
you, you can have II fixed easily. All
you will have TO do will be TO go, or
even to write to the Health Office, at
sos ID street, and state the location of
the tree. Then the Health Officer, DR..
Townshend, will send an inspector to
investigate the matter, and If the people
on whose property the tree is refuse to
abate the nuisance, the Health Office
people have power TO have the proper
persons arrested and fined 1t is a very
easy matter to prevent all this stencil,
too. All that need be done is to trim
the blooms off the tree before they
bloom out in their malodorousness.
This does not injure the tree at all; In
luCt TdtncI tne opposltc, lOr tucsc cHltS'
culated trees grow bigger and faster,
just as animals do. Trees so treated are
called pollards, and there are 10000
ailantus trees in Paris, and they are all
pollards.

There is social and benevolent or
ganization of colored people down in
South Washington, and night before
last 1t gave sociable for the benefit of
the flood sufferers. 1t was hardly q
flatiering success. In the first place,
the weather was against it. Then the
water was so muddy that they had to
call the vanilla ice cream chocolate,
and even that did not improve the taste
much And about 10 o'clock, after
the man the hall was rented from saw
the affair was not going to pay ex.
penses, he went in and blew out all Of
the kerosene lamps, leaving the hall in
total darkness and taking the cigar box
with the receipts in it with him, locked
up the hall and went away.

WHARTON county democrats having
sown little republican wind are
reaping a democratic whirlwind.
Violence and bloodshed when resorted
to for any purpose become chronic, and
like the letting out of water, soon
grow beyond control. 1t is only a
step from hemurder of colored man
to the murder of white man. Whar-
ton and Fort Bend counties are in
fair way of finding it out. With the
best coIored element in these counties
removed to some more peaceful sec
ton, and the "wood-pecker' and
'jay-hawker'' factions of the DEM
ocracy left to fight for the openly
purchasabIe colored vote won't there
be sheol to pay in the black belt!
Chickens and curses alike come home
to roost even in Texas.

THE democracy are changing their
opinions concerning President Harri-
sons spinal column. From putting
him down as Blaine's cats-paw they
are now putting him down as Blalne's
master. A late democratic utterance
is this:
"He has neither been ettaced by
Blaine nor any one else. This is par
ticularly noticeable in the matter of
appointments. He is attending to
that part Of the business himself,
doubtIes believing that the principal
duty of a party chief is to divide up
the pie"
Anything for a democratic kick, but
it shows all the same that his enemies
have so far failed to size him up.

agement played a trump card by

fair is magnifcently advertised, the
novelty of the method attracting
great attention not only in this.but in
sister states. The musicians will re-
turn home much delighted with their
trip for they have had pleasant run
over Texas, and the fair management
have paid all expenses of this unique
advertisement out of the receipts for
concerts. If they can be as happy
and fortunate, as fair managers, in
blowing some way down to the fair
ground this fall that will transport
from three to five thousand persons
an hour between Riverside park and

still greater reason to congratulate
themselves. This is all that is need

No mishaps to New York city. The
trip across the pond in the steamship
Alaska (Guion line) made in good
time. Those who are judges from ex-
perience say that the Alaska is, TAX
ing all things into consideration, the
best vessel crossing the Atlantic; SER
vice excellent and she weathers a
high sea magnificently. BY the way
the new steamer, City of Paris left
New York "a hours later and she
reached the bar at Liverpool one hour
after us. She is now what the Alas
ka formerly was, "the greyhound of
the Atlantic.n
The trip by rail from Liverpool to
London was really enjoyable after be-
ing on the water for a week. Negeta-
tion just budding out in full force, the
country looks at its best just now.
London-what shall l say? You
can live here lifetime and not see it
all. The public service in the way
of rapid transit is far behind New
York. The underground railways
not to be compared to the
elevated Of New York, the Buss and
tramways though numerous are slow
er and not as comfortable as those in
America, but then the deficiency is
made up i'm the hanson and other con-
veyances, which are numerous, well
able and quite rapid, yetit is a luxury

In the way OF business blocks, New
York, Chicago, or st. Louis are far
ahead of London a; of course her public
works are finer and more numerous,
but that is no more than natural, as
London was a big city before New
York, Chicago, and st. Louis were reg
istered as pOst-otfices. L have been to
see the parks in the way of a drive,
and they are plentiful, large and in
fine condition. | also visited the Brit
ish museum, academy, national gal
lery, geological and Kew gardens.
I use the word visited, construe the
meaning as you please.
In the way of churches, visited
Westminster Abbey and St. Paul.
They may be places of worship, but |
look upon them more in the way of
temples, where the nation publicly
gives recognition to her illustrious
dead.
The monuments in st. Paul, as
works of art, in my judgement are
fine. The monuments are not mere
blocks of marble or granite,a as is often
times the case, but each one is his
tory in itself, with usually but the
name and dates noted in some aDDrO-
pirate place.
On my way back l propose to spend
a week more in London and shall visit
but three places, st. Paul, Westmin-
lister Abbey and the museum.
The house of parliament is best seen
from Westminster bridge across the
Thames. 1t makes no such impress
sion as does the capitol at Washing
ton; it's architectural design is no
doubt in every way ideal, but it lacks
grandeur and stability. NJ.
