Takine Foreigner on BOARD.

Hone Kong, July 2.-The British
admiral has withdrawn the guard from
the Island Of Formosa and has offered
to take foreigners aboard his ships.
The German admiral has made a sim
liar offer to Germans. It is believed
that the reason for this action is that it
is inexpedient to retain the guard with
the Japanese forces advancing and
fighting probable.

Pigeons and Postal Service.
The most novel and successful instru-
ment ever used in the postal service Is the
homing pigeon. During the Franco-Ger-
man war, 1901, the ingenious French
adopted this system Of transmission Of
their correspondence. The communica-
tions were printed and then microphoto-
graphed onto thin films Of collodion. Each
pellicle contained the reproduction of is
fo%lio'pages;of type and was SO light that
so, 900 messages could be carried by one
pigeon. To insure safe transit the films
were rolled up and placed in a quill which
was fastened to one Of the tail feathers of
the pigeon. Upon arrival Of the messenger
at it's destination the films were unrolled
and thrown on u canvas by means of an
electric lantern, copied by clerks and dis
patched to their destination. Later sensi-
tive paper was substituted for the canvas,
and the letters were reproduced on it.ready
for remailing.
Another production Of French ingenuity
was q balloon postal system with 81 bal
looms. Each ascension cost about $1,000,
and although Krupp had built several
guns for the German army designed spe-
cially to bring down these aerial mail
cars only five of them were captured.
They carried many tons Of mail as we'll as
81 passengers during the period Of war

THE CRISP REED INCIDENT.

There is much unjust criticism concerning
the refusal of ex-Spcaker Reed to vote for
the resolution of thanks to Speaker Crisp.
At the adjournment OF the Fifty second
Congress Mr.. Crisp did precisely the same
thing when Mr.. Reed was Speaker; and
as their non admiration of each other had
increased, rather than lessened, since that
time, Mr.. Reed was fully justified in acting
as he did.
Generally speaking, Mr. Crisp was fairly
good presiding officer. His greatest fault
was an intense jealousy OF Mr. Reeds
knowledge or parliamentary procedure
Knowing this, and with the evidentintention
of harassng the Speaker, Mr. Reed seldom
lost opportunity 10 advance his opinions and
to also attempt to overturn the rulings OF Mr.
Crisp. Itwas a rivalry between keen-witted
men that grew almost to hatred before the
time OF adjournment.
Mr.. Reed was not the only prominent
member who refused TO vote on the resolu-
ton OF thanks. Mr. Holman, the oldest and
best informed member OF the Fifty-third
Congress, sat silently in his seat In eX-
planatioD OF his refusal, he said that Mr.
Crisp. more than any other Democrat, was
responsible for the defeat of the Democratic
party. and that he could not conscientiously
vote To compliment such services Mr.
Holman's reason for this statement was
the partiality and favoritism shown by
Speaker Crisp in eonsnittee assignments
and in parceling out public business, all
of which affected the Democratic party in
the North

SOCIAL SAYINGS AND DOINGS.

The elimination of the Mi-Careme gay
eties last night was the dance given at the
British embassy by the ambassador and
Lady Pauncefote in honor of their young
est daughter, Miss Audrey Pauncefote,
who made her debut at the beginning OF
the winter. There were $50 of the dane
ing set and younger members of society
generally in attendance upon the enter
tainment, which, like every gathering at
the British embassy, was a brilliant
event
The elegant apartments were ablaze
with lights, needing 10 elaborate floral
decorations to enhance the richness of
furnishing with which the most fashion
able element OF Washington society is SO
familiar. Here and there about the
drawing rooms were jars of long g-stemmed
roses and potted plants in full bloom. In
the ballroom the mirrorlined walls re-
flected over and over a gay scene as the
dancers whirled about, the girls in their
lovely fresh gowns. with the gorgeous
background of the crimson and gold damask
draperies and decorations of the room. AT
the east. and behind a floral lattice-work
screen, an orchestra played for the dancers
In the supper-room the guests were seated
at numerous small tables decorated with
scarlet and yellow tulips, that gave forth
entertainment.
The British ambassador and Lady
Pauncefote received the company, as
sisted by their daughters. Lady Paunce-
fote's gown was of cream satin trimmed
with terra Gotta velvet and point lace
Miss Pauncefote's gown was of buttercup
yellow brocade and gauze Miss Lii
liam Pauncefote and Miss Audrey Paunce-
fote wore gowns of white satin and tulle.

by Washington society yesterday after

been unusually numerous. Dinner parties
were the favorite order of entertainment
Society generally was late in its attend

owing to the fact that nearly every one
had accepted dinner invitations for the
earlier portion of the evening.

over cattle thieves and smugglers of taran-
tula whisky Fortunately no great knowl-
edge OF law is required OF a district judge

been assigned, or the Judgment of President

EMOTIONAL INSANITY.

Judge Cole, of the Supreme Court of the
District OF Columbia, has given emotional
insanity black eye. Unfortunately for
the cause OF justice this plea has been too
frequently effective in trials OF men for
particularly atrocious murders, and by
means OF it vicious persons have been
turned loose upon the community after
more or less brief periods OF Incarceration,
and. in some instances. Immediately after
the verdict had been pronounced.
In the case Of Joseph A Beam, whose
trial for the murder of his step-daughter con-
cluded yesterday, with verdict of guilty
as charged, the attempt had again been
made by the attorneys for the defense to
prove their client insane at the time he did
the killing, and expert testimony pro and
con was submitted. 1t was in his charge
to the jury that Judge Cole, touching
upon this point, gave the emotional in
sanity dodge such q Knockout blow that
probably it VIII not soon again be heard

there could be no conviction. But neither

cause affecting the mind can be accepted
as rendering the defendant irresponsible for
the mere moment of killing his victim"

ANOTHER INVESTIGATION NECESSARY

The demand Of the Federation of Labor
that a thorough investigation be made of
the charges that the f street school build

receive immediate attention. The Fed
Grafton claims that defective material
has been used, that both the brick and
wood work are faulty, that the walls are
hollow in some places, and that the
building would be dangerous if completed
by the methods which at present obtain.
It is understood that the Commissioners
have notified the Federation that Building
Inspector Brady has been instructed TO as
sist a committee from that organization in
making an examination. But to this the
Federation objects It is claimed that
Inspector Brady has already made one
embarrassing investigation, and that a re-
examination should be held by a non-in-
terested expert commission.
In justice TO the parents of school chill
dren as well as for the good name of our
city another and more public investigation
should be ordered. The suspicion aroused
