Police headquarters, and was there nearly
an hour before Inspector Matting1y sue

asylum. She has been in the institution
some time, but recently showed signs of
Improvement, and Sunday was taken out
for a car ride. She gave the attendant no
trouble, ana yesterday she was given adj
oitional privileges.
1t was not until she reached a large store
on Pennsylvania avenue that she showed a
desire to leave her attendant, and then il
was that she was driven to Headquarters

ADNICES FROM ADMIRAL McNAIR.
Japan Has Sent a Cruiser to Kfao
Chou Bay.

Rear Admiral McNair commanding the
United States naval forces on the Asiatic
station, has officially notified the Navy De-
partment of the occupation Of Kiao Chou
China. by the German forces. The report
is dated November -. and was written
before the Russians occupied Port Arthur.
Admiral McNair says that November ~
he received the following official account
OF the action of the German forces in the
kiao Chou affair:
"A German squadron, consisting of three
men-of-war arrived at the Kiao Chou bay
on the 18th instant. The commander of
the squadron landed on the following day
with tao bluejaCkets and ordered General
Chang, the commander of the Chinese gar
rison. to retire beyond the hills within
tWeTty-four hours, commencing from 3
O'Clock on that day Q4th); further inform
Ing g neral Chang that the Chinese SOL
diers would not be permitted to take away
anything save their rifles and personal
effects.
The German commander Furthermore de-
clar"d thar in the event of the Chinese gar
garded as hostile and be Immediately fired
upon. Thereupon General Chang with his
force evacuated the fort and retired to the
lower part of Seito.''
Perhaps the most significant statement
made in Admiral NcNairs dispatch is that
Japan has sent cruiser to kiao Chou nay
for the purpose of watching the operations
of the German forces.

CHRISTMAS DAY CLOSING.
The Movement in Favor of Closed
STORE Doors Being Agitated.

The movement in favor of having the
mercantile establishments in Washington
Keep closed doors all day on Christmas day
Is being agitated with considerable vigor-
and while it is not probable that all the
merchants will follow the course indicated,
1t is expected that more of them will give
their clerks a fall holiday Christmas day
this year than ever before.
Mir. F. Croker of 99 Pennsylvania
avenue writes to The Star that he feels
that his clerks have justly earned the day.
owing to the manner in which they have
met the demands of the heavy Christmas
trade, and, regardless of what others in the
same line of business may do. his establish
uent will not be open next Saturday.
1t is probable that other merchants who,
like Mr.. Croker. are leaders in their par
ucular lines Of business. will also follow a
similar course and close their doors Satur-
day, regardless of what their smaller COM
petitors may do, il being generally admitted
that very little, IL any trade will be done
Christmas day.

1t will be explained by the petitioners
