DIED FROM NATURAL CAUSES.
Coroner Carr Issues a Certificate in
the Case of Mrs. Shea.


the Case of Mrs. Shea.
Coroner Carr today reviewed the remains
of Mrs. John Shea who died at her home.
325 Maryland Avenue southwest. last night.
and issued a certificate of death from natu-
raj causes The body was then prepared
for burial
The funeral arrangements have not been
completed.
The deceased was ffty-six years old and
is survived by several children and hus-
band
In the death OF Mrs. Shea the District
has lost woman who for over thirty-five
years figured in many startling episodes
in which he police were arrayed against
her. She took up her residence in Wash
ington about 1851, and located in South
Washington where she has since lived Her
livelihood and that of her husband was
gained from grocery business in connec-
ton with which il was often alleged a
speakeasy was conducted. On several &C.
casions the grocery was raided and the
Sheas prosecuted in court for conducting
an unlicensed bar. Lieutenant Daily of
the Ninth precinct, then a sergeant in the
Fourth precinct, gained his sobriquet of
1.-The lighting sergeant" from his persistent
efforts to break up the alleged violations
of law
Early in the career of Mrs. Shea she was
tried and acquitted of a charge of killing
Policeman Frank Doyle, of the Fourth
precinct Doyle was shot at the Shea home
on December %, 1871. He was one of a
party of policemen who went there O serve
search warrant. Mrs. Shea, it Is said
offered resistance and exhibited a revolver.
In the struggle to disarm the woman the
revolver was discharged. The bullet struck
Doyle, infiicting a fatal wound The evil
denee adduced at the trial is said to have
shown conclusively that Mrs. Shea had no
intention OF killing Doyle, and that the
shooting was an accident
Mrs. Shea was well known and liked by
all who knew her. She was considered a
charitable woman and her benevolent acts
are said 70 have been many 1t is said
she betrayed the expenses of the funeral
of Doyle There are many persons famil-
lar with the life OF Mrs Shea who claim
that she was often suspected and accused
Of offences of which she was not guilty

The New Grnnd-~CamIIIe d,ArviIIe.,,

An enthusiastic audience, testing the
seating capacity Of the house, greeted the
advent of Camille D'Arville in vaudeville
yesterday at the New Grand. The pre-
eeding acts. though deserving of favor and
eliciting generous applause, served only to
whet the anticipations Of those who had
gathered to witness the performance of
the popular and admired actress. The ova-
tion which greeted the entrance of Miss
DArville inspired her to her best endeav-
ors. and her inexpressibly sweet and SYM
pathetic voice stirred every heart among
her hearers She is gifted beyond the
need of most artists, and her versatility
was evidenced by the rendition of numbers
widely differing in character Her coon
eongs, expressed raively and with much
grace. evoked continuous bursts of laugh
ter. She is supeTtiy perfect in the COM
mand Of her art. ard she sings the range
from grave to gay as only D'Arville can.
The other seven numbers which are pre-
scented this week are all worthy of inter
est. The three Onris performed various
marvellous feats; limitations of animals
were given by Louis FralkoWski; Baby
Lund exhibited a good voice and a mag
netic tout ensemble, and IaughabIe COM
edietta was produced by Ellsworth and
Burt. Domestic Pets" the Matweef duo
of Russian dancers; Tom Mack, the black
faced comedian, and Prof. Macart's ire
sistibly funny dog and monkey comedians
made up the balance Of the programme.

AGRICULTURE PROTESTS.
The Administration Policy of Expan-
sion Does Not Meet with Gem
eraI Approval.

The first response from the nation to
the colonial policy seems to come from
the agricultural classes. In conformity
with the president notion that the new
possessions are as much n part of the
United States as Florida, California OF
Alaska, Secretary of War Root proposes
to abolish tariff barriers against goods
of our own possessions. Immediately
comes this protest from Springfield, o.,
from Herbert Myrick, editor of an agri-
cultural paper. He telegraphed to the
president as follows:
1--WE respectfully, but most vigorous
ly protest against the admission of trop-
ical produce free of duty or at reduced
rates as recommended by the secretary
of war this morning. The protest Is
made in behalf of millions OF American
farmers, laborers and capital engaged in
the domestic culture or manufacture OF
sugar beetS, sugar cane, tobacco, cigars
fruits, vegetables, rice, etc. They will
not submit to being ruined for the bene-
fit of trusts employing coolie labor that
inevitably will control production and man
ufactures in the tropics. That we speak
with authority in behalf of these great
domestic interests will soon be demon
strated."
Such q protest as that may be calcu-
lated to strike a protectionist like Nc
Kinley with great force. If this new pol
lev of destiny shall upset McKinley's al
legged protection-made prosperity. the
last condition may be worse than the
first The agriculturists to whom Nc
Kinley taught the doctrine of protection
evidently remember it and are selfish
enough to want the benefit of it. If i'm
perialism is a question of business, as
Commissioner DENLY declared in re-
cent article, the protectionists may
make the president turn his back on the
policy of destiny in order TO preserve
his own personal policy of protection at
home. DENLY said:
THE cold, hard, practical question alone
remains: VIII the possession of these
/ Islands benefit nation? If 1t will not,
| set them free tomorrow and let their peo-
| pie, if they please, cut each others threats
| or play what pranks they please To this
| complexion we must come at last, that. I'M
| less it is beneficial for US to hold these
| islands, we should turn them loose
| When it comes to determining the
cold, hard, practical question, docs it

IMpERzALIsT ALLIES.
Republican Efforts to Get the United
States Into EnEIlnii's
Clutches.

Democracy is unaiterably opposed to
"entangling alliances with foreign pow
ers.''
Mckinley and Hanna, who represent
the republican party, favor foreign ali
ances and have undoubtedly made one
with England.
During the Ohio campaign the demo-
Gratis asserted that such an alliance had
been made. Indeed, in their platform
they declared against a secret or an
open alliance with England or any other
foreign power.
This attitude of the democracy fright
ened Mark Hanna, and he forced his
secretary of state, John Hay, to come
out with most remarkable denial.
This letter of Secretary of State Hay
wasa startling innovation in diplomacy.
Nothing but a political emergency in
Hanna's Ohio could have compelled
such descent of the secretary
of state into the muddy waters of po-
litical contest in one of the states of the
union.
Heretofore the secretary of state, the
first officer of the cabinet, has had his
duties fixed by law, and his mission has
been to deal with our foreign relations,
anu not Will lue QOlncSl1C d1oti VI tilS
several states of the union.
But, as the Cincinnati Enquirer says,
1.-The poetic author of Jim BluGsoe' took
~ columns of solid prose to contradict
| a siX-line declaration of the democratic
party. and so elaborate was the denial
that it tended to confirm the belief Of
| the existence of secret alliance be-
| tween England and the United States of
America, instead of dispelling.''
But now Joseph Chamberlain, secre-
| tary of state for the English colonies,
! declares that such an alliance exists.
To quote Chamberlain's own words
| establishes this claim. As reported by
telegraph, Joseph Chamberlain said:
''It is especially gratifying to note the
| friendly relations existing between the
| Anglo-SaXon branches, and that the I'M
| derstanding between Great Britain and
| the United States is indeed a guarantee
| of the peace of the world
And the peace of the world under this
| alliance-what is it?
| Wholesale murder in the Philippines
| under the stars and stripes, wholesale
| murder in the Transvaal under the me
teor banner of England.
Do democrats want this sort of peace
| By no manner of means. Imperialism
| must suffer defeat at the hands of dem
ocrats in 19OO.-Chicago Democrat.
