BROKE THE DOOR.
Judge Miller arbitrntes'a Lively Dis
tnrbance.

There was a lively scene in the boarding
house of Charles Burnham and his wife.
Minerva Burnham. L Grant place. yester-
day, where Mr.. Dennis Canty of the inter
state commerce commission had a suite of
rooms. Some time ago Mr. Canty gave no
tice to the landlord Il at he Was going to
leave the house. and it is alleged that Mr..
Burnham wanted them TO move earlier than
the time they had fixed. There were other
questions to be settled between them but
they were unable to adjust their differences
and because OF yesterdays trouble the mat
ter was referred to Judge Miller for set
tlenent.
2. Mrs. Canty is an invalid and because of
the order of the attending physician she
has not been moved. although she was un-
der obligation to leave, as Mr.. Canty
claims there was no question of rent mon
ey. ON part of the Burnhams it is claimed
that servants in the Canty family have
thrown garbage and slops in the yard un-
til the health officials have served notice
on -hem- The invalid was in bed yeSterday :
morning about IL o'clock when Mr. and
Mrs. Burnbam appeared. so it is charged.
and the scene resulted in changing her
condition fer the verse. 1t was charged
On behalf of the CaEtys that the BurnhaElS
came to her room, tCCk the carpets from
the floor and removed the furniture. One
pillow, IL was charged. was taken from
the sick woman's Ted. The. outer doors
were locked. and one of Mrs. Canty's ser
wants had to jump out the window to go
for the husband of the invalid. There was
evidence to the effect that both Mr.. Burn
lam and his wife had their hands on Mrs.
Canty to pick her up, and the servant said
she never before saw such brutality.
Lawyer Darlington appeared counsel
for Mr.. Canty, but Mrs. Burnham thought
she did not need counsel She did the talk
ing for her husband and herself and acted
the part of counsel. examining all the wit
neSSeS
The charge against the Burnhams was
assault on the invalid. and Mr.. Canty was
charged with having broken the door to
get in the house.
When the court had heard Mr.. Canty's
side of the affair Mrs. Burnham told her
story. She explained the arrangements be-
tween the two families. The Cantys were
to keep fire in the kitchen to supply the
roomers with hot water ard they 0he
Burnhamsl were to furnish the gas.
Mrs. Burnham claimed that Mrs Canty'S
servants kept the hot water drawn off and
doubled the gas bill by keeping the gas
burning all night. She said she wanted to
get rid of the CantyS for various reasons
and so she made things as unpleasant for
them as possible. She said that before at

policeman.
Judge Miller characterized the conduct
Of Mr. and Mrs. BurEham as remarkable,
and said that when they entered Mr.. Can
tvs room they We're trespassers. So far
as Mr. Canty was concerned he had per-
feet right to break in the door.
Mr. Rurnham was fined 50 and costs and
the other charges were dismissed.

ENGLAND TOO YIELDING.
The Marquis of Lorne on Dealings
with the ..Yanllees."

LONDON, February 2.-The Marquis OF
Lorne has written long article, which ap
pears in the Pail Mall Gazette this after
noon, on Pope's Life of Sir John A. Mac
donald" The marquis says that the au-
thor will find all he said in praise of Sir
John A. Macdonald to be ECHOED by all of
us who knew him.
In the course of this article the Marquis
of Lorne remarks: English statesmen fear
that the Yankee is always longing to twist
that much twisted thing, the Lions tail;
but only a newspaper masher writes in
that tone and the Canadians knowing this
desire, hold their own and carry their chins
as high as they like. Take the fishery
question, for instance. Canada knows the
value of the fisheries and desires to insist
on a fair bargain with the United States on
that basis of recognition of value. Great
Britain is apt to write Off half the value
when the bargaining is being done for
something that England thinks of interna-
tional Importance. AS one of the plenpo-
tentiaries at Washington, Sir John A. Mac
donald had to constantly combat this ten
dency, notably shown by the Marquis of
Rfpon, who was as much inclined to yield
to the Americans he was afterward
anxious to surrender to the Bengali news
papers in India and TO Fenian threats in
Ireland

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION
No Significant Developments Today--Ac-
-. tion Deferred Until Next Tuesday.
al Arrangements Made for an Issue
of Four Per Cent BOnds-Nr. Curtis
Again in New York.

There were no significant developments
in the financial situation today, and the
impression now prevails that action has
been deferred until next Tuesday, when the
Presidents cabinet will probably decide
upon a course of action. Meanwhile As
sistant Secretary Curtis has returned to
New York for a further conference with
the bankers on the subject of a govern
ment loan on 4 per cent basis. 1t is un-
derstood that the proposition previously
made by the bankers Is not entirely ac-
ceptable to the President and that Mr..
Curtis present mission is to negotiate bet
ter terms on behalf of the government.
All the necessary arrangements have
been completed for a large issue of per
cent bonds, and they will be issued as
soon as satisfactory terms have been ar
ranged with the banks and trust companies
which are expected to subscribe for the
bulk of the bonds. The present hitch over
terms is not serious, and will probably be
satisfactorily adjusted in time for final ac-
tion by Tuesday next. The gold withdraw
ais today were insignificant, being less
than $4,000.

alarm, and. he was quickly removed from

Thomas X eys, and he is employed at the
Washington Brick Machine Company. Yes
terday he was taken SICK, and one of the
physicians to the poor gave him a hospital
permit. About 800 in the afternoon an
ambulance of the police department, in
charge of Driver Oliver, removed the man
from the brick yard to the hospital, and it
was not until after he had been examined
that the doctors discovered conditions
which rendered the nature Of his ailment
doubtful.
There was some little eruption about his
body, and soon this was discovered
preparations for his removal from the
hospital We're made. This was necessary
because there is 10 place at the hospital
where the patient could be put in isolated
quarters, and also because it was only
just to the other patients that he should
not be there If he had the smallpox.
1t was about midnight when: the small
pox people called at the hospital and took
him away. He is now in the suspect camp.
and while his appearance is very suspicious

the result of something other than small
