Irish Protest Unheeded

LONDON, June 1.-THE House of Com
mons to-day resumed its sitting after the
Whitsuntide holidays, with sparse attend
ance. Mr.. Balfour first lord of the treas
ury, moved that the House attend the
Church of ST. Margaret, Westminster, on
Sunday in order to celebrate the accession
of Queen Victoria to the throne Mr. Will
liam Redmond Parnellite, in behalf of his
constituents, and, he believed, in behalf of
the majority of the Irish epople opposed
the motion. In so doing he said the Irish
could not join in the ceremony, for, al
though Great Britain had reaped great
benefits from the Queens reign it was en-
tirely the reverse with Ireland. Therefore
he protested against the motion which,
however, was carried without a division,

ionably dressed woman. about thirty years
of age, was found yesterday floating in
the Thames, near the Tower bridge. In her
purse she had some gold and silver. a gold
wedding ring and two dress rings. a gold
brooch and other articles, and on a key
American coins. All the clothing on the

BECOMING CIVILIZED.
Indians WanttO Erect a Monument to
Braves Who Fell in Battle


WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE desire of
Sioux Indians to erect a monument to their
warriors who participated in the battle of
Wounded Knee, as reported in a dispatch
from Rapid City, S. D., has not been Of
ficially communicated to the Washington
authorities, and, pending the receipt of the
petition of the Indians, no attention will be
paid to the matter. Just what action will
be taken then is only conjectural, though
many veterans in the Indian service think it
only to be just to the Indians, in view of
the eXtenuating circumstances of the fight
and as a simple token of recognition of the
valor of the tribe. No similar issue has
been raised before so far as the authorities
here can recall though such marks of COM
memoration as stones, etc. have been
placed on a battlefield to represent the
marches of some of the Indian leaders. The
attempt to raise a substantial shaft on lines
of government monuments already erected
is an idea new in Indian history and is
taken TO indicate greater civilization among
the Indians than was looked for

A PASADENA MAIDEN
She Is Just 'Sweet 16" and Likes a
Good Time

Kittie Ransom is a pretty Pasadena
girl who has just turned sweet sixteen"
but her ways are not adapted to that
quiet little place. First the neighbors
complained that she was wild and then
her mother decided that Whittier would
be good place for her to quiet down.
To this end she was brought into court,
but there was not sufficient evidence
that Kitty was really bad girl. and
she was not sent to Whittier. This all
happened some weeks ago, and since
that time she has been into numerous
escapades. A few days ago she allowed
her fondness for wine and bad company
to get the best Of her, and as result
she was arrested for disturbing the
peace. She was convicted and sentenced
to serve three days in JAIL. and was
brought over from Pasadena yesterday
by Constable Slater to do her time.
