SCARED BY THE SPOOKS.
AN ALLEGED HAUNTED HOUSE AT

4 Family Fails to shake on the spirits

\ Remarkable story with

That usually quiet and peaceful part of

Of excitement over a so-called haunted house
with rappngs and the other signs Of their
presence which visitors from the spirit land
are supposed togiye. \ Frenchman named

about six months ago while he was living At
Colchester Centre in the house where the
Furncss girl shot herself about eight years
ago. the family first heard strange sounds,
sudden knocks or rappings about the house
in different parts and at different hours
both day ami night. resembling the sharp rap
ping of ones knucliles on the floor, walls and
ceiling and headbuard of the bed Sometimes
thcse sounds would be comparatively light
and continued in quick succession for some
moments: then again there would he single
sound like blow struck by hammer, and
sometimes two or three such successive
knocks. The family became 30 frightened

they moyed. The mysterious raps, however,

claim that the spirits became reinforced and
are now more turbulent than ever before.
/ Members of the family say that they are

WAsH1NGToN, Feb. 20.-Thc president
to-day transmitted TO Congress correspond
ence relating tothe withdrawal of Lord Sack
vile. 1t included the letter Mr.. Bayard
sent to West enclosing a passport Lord
Sackville's acknowledgment Of the same,
Mr.. Bavard's letter to Minister Phelps, re
viewing the case at length and giving the
views OF the government on tho action OF
Saciville in reference to the MurChlsOn let
ter. from which Bayard quotes, commenting
at the letter. declared the writer TO be
actuated by motives of manifest pertidy to
the United States and grossly impugned and
aspersed the motives Of the president. 1t
solicited from the official to whom it was
addressed ON authoritative confirmation or
denial of these impuguments andaspcrsions.
In relation TO this Marquis Salisbury OBJ
served "Ihe private communications made
by an ambassador in good faith, have never,
] believe, before been made a subject Of in
ternational complaint. The precise
force or applicability Of this observation in
the present case can not be perceived.
The question is simply whether a foreign
diplomatic representative shall assume the
function of influencing electors in this com-
try Such usurpation is of itself an intoler-
able offense.
duct of Sacliyie had ended with the reply to
the NIurchison letter the situation would
have been sufficiently serious, but in various
statements made by him TO representatives.
OF the press, the iupugnments of the action
OF the government were emphasized.
Mr.. Bayard then discusses the position
taken by Salisbury in his note laying down
the rule which should govern the dismissal
of diplomatic agents, nstaucing Sir Henry
Bulver's sudden dismissal from the court OF
Madrid in 1913. The case Of Sacl;villc, Mr
Bayard holds, is wholly dissilniar Thus
the present issue is not whether it is re-
qusite that sovereign asking the recall of
a foreign minister should give reason for the
application, but whether when such recall is
asked on the ground Of interference in the
politics OF the country to which he is ac-
credited, the question of culpability or the
degree of such interference is to be left to
the determination of the sovereign by whom
the offending minister is accredited The
latter view would be equivalent to saving
that the government is entitled to determine
how far it would interfere with the policie,
of foreign States and what degree Of inter
ference by its ministers of internal affairs
such States may seem proper to sustain.

Cottage Suffrage Meeting.

A large circle Of ladies was present g.
Mrs. Marshall's at 2:3O, Monday. Sew
eral ladies from the opposite coast were
among the number. Though all that
was said by these strangers was eagerly
listened to, yet the enthusiastic utter.
ance, II love California; y probably gave
most pleasure to the West Coasters.
Later, the same speaker told how difficult
she found it to leave place where it was
80 pleasant all the time, and where the
roses bloomed out of doors in the winter.
But she deprecated the lack of manufac-
tories, and missed the rows of operators
going each morning to their toll. She
wondered how the workingmen lived.
Hereupon came some hints touching the
absorption of Los Angeles; first
in her real-estate boom, then
in her building boom. Next it
was broadly limited that when
Los Angeles took time to examine her
resources-o fields, etc.,-she would
likely experience manufacturing boom.
The lady was urged to bring her Eastern
relatives to Los Angeles and help.
