RETURN OF BISHOP KEANE,
His Ideas as to the Future of the
Government OF Italy.

Bishop Keane, rector of the Catholic Uni
versity. has returned to this country from
his visit to Rome. and will arrive in Wash
irgton this afternoon. He was interviewed
in Baltimore last night, where he was the
guest of Cardinal Gibbons.
The pope, said Bishop Keane. expressed
the opinion that the time was approaching
when imperial or monarchical forms of gov
eminent would be no longer tolerated, but
would be succeeded by democracy, of which
he pointed to the United States and France
examples of what he considered the
broadcast types of government.
Pope Leo did not hesitate to say that he
regarded America as the bulwark of the
church Bishop Keane said that the rela-
tions between the vatican and the quirinal
had not changed in any manner whatever,
the pope refusing to be affected by the in
1uences that have been brought to bear
upon him to withdraw his friendship from
France and place 1t with the triple alliance
He thinks that Italy will become a repub-
lie in the future. with the pope having full
and unquestioned gubernatorial authority
over the city of Rome.

NOISE IN THE NIGHT.

Birds and Beasts Cnn Make All They
Please, According to Judge kimball.
i" Ifpolly wants a cracker he has a right to
say So, and If he should care to indulge in
a little profanity he cannot be arrested.
And If bird-tamer Schmidts lop-eared rab-
bit makes a noise Jeweler Desio has no re-
dress. II the birds and rabbits in the pet
animal emporium annoy him to the extent
that he cannot sleep he will have to thicken
the walls or move to a place where he will
be beyond the reach of the noise. Schmidt
appeared in Judge Kimbalrs court this
morning to answer the charge brought
against him by his neighbor. the jeweler.
Lawyer Randall Hagner was in court as
counsel for the defendant. and he had a
large Century dictionary and several law
books which he intended reading to the
court.
He read the dictionary definition of fowl,
b. it was found unnecessary to read the
Judge Kimball had read a notice of the
case in the papers. and he was ready to
decide the case for the defendant.
Even Prosecuting Attorney Pugh's strong
that parrot came within the provisions
of the regulations which provide against
the Growing and "cackling' of fowls.
Judge Kimban was perfectly satisfied
that the law was Intended to protect citi-
zens against the noises of barn yard fowls.
He was satisfied that the law was intended
to protect the citizens against growing
ROSTERS in the morning and cackling hens
through the day. The judge also spoke of
scratching hens and ROSTERS. but Mr.. Pugh
said that scratching chickens do not dis
turb the peace and quiet of persons.
But Judge kimball thought they did. He
knew from experience that chickens greatly
annoy persons by scratching in their flower
beds.
Counsel had entered a demurrer in the
case, and this was sustained. The charge
was dismissed.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
Care of UnimprOved Lots.


Mr. s. T. Thomas attorney for the Dis
trict. today submitted to the Commission
ers the drafts of two proposed bills to be in
troduced at the coming session of Congress
giving the Commissioners increased au-
thority in the care of vacant lots in the
city, The first is to amend an act which
authorizes the Commissioners to make po-
lice regulations for the government Of the
District and empowers them to make and
enforce usual and reasonable police regula-
lions, in and for said District, in regard to
ppimproved lots of land fronting on I'M
proved streets, avenues, reservations and
public squares in the District of COlumb ia,
as may be necessary for the public health. ;
The second proposed measure is intended
to compel owners of vacant lots fronting on
improved streets, &C., to keep the same free
from weeds and to cause them to be re-
moved whenever in the judgment of the
health officer 1t Is necessary to do so in
the interest of public health. Violation of
the proposed law is to be punished by a fine
not exceeding s..
