Washington. December 1.-The legal
officers of the state department are
looking into an application made by the

nate American girl confined in London

have the department appeal to the

whelming mass of testimony to show
that the girl has in the past been SUBJ
iect to fits of arrangement. rendering
her irresponsible. and it is asserted that
she is at present in that condition. The
state department will transmit these
papers to the United States embassy at
London with instructions to do all that

BRITISH ACTION DENOUNCED
IN the Dltck ParIiamet - Statement
by Foreign Minister.

The Hague, December THE confis-
cation of the Dutch Red Cross outfit
outside of Pretoria and the imprison-
ment of the staff on the island of Cey-
lon was again the subject of heated
comment in the chamber here today, the
members denouncing the action of the
British as being contrary to the Geneva
convention. The foreign minister. Mel
vim van Lyndon. explained that the Ge-
neva convention was only applicable
to the ambulances of belligerents, but
even their stats could be made prison
ers if they violated neutrality. The gov
ernment, he added, had frequently de-
manded that the Netherlands be releas-
ed on parole, but Great Britain is not
obliged to release them until after the
close of the war.

ROYAL MARITAL FELICITIEs.
Scandal at The Hague-The Unhappy
Marriage of Two of SictOria's
GranddauEhters.

London, December THE domestic
infelicities of European royalists have
never come so prominently before the
public as have today the difficulties of
Queen Wilmelmina Of The Netherlands,
the dramatic circumstances Of which
form one Of the chief topics Of CONVEX
sation. The romantic halo surrounding
the young queen and the keen interest
taken in ker marriage only help to ac-
centuate public curiosity and sympathy
Moreover, it is realized that Holland 8
scandal may have grave political conse-
quences for Europe. and hence its de-
velopments are followed closely by
statesmen. While those best fitted to
Judge incline to the belief that it will all
blow over for the present. there are
grave apprehensions for the future.
From a personal point of view, Eng
land is more deeply concerned in the
scandal going on in Hesse, where one OF
Yueen Victoria's grand daughters is on
the verge of separation from her hus-
band.
This youthful marriage-the grand
duchess of HeSSe was only eighteen
when she exchanged her British for a
continental title-has proved to be one
Of the most unsatisfactory among al
the royal matches. and the climax, it is
believed, would have been reached ere
this had it not been for the late Queer
Victoria's imperious influence.

San Francisco. December AFTER
many exciting ventures in oriental
waters, having narrowly escaped foun-

board of a large number Of sick and
discharged soldiers, the Sheridan left
Manila fifty-one days ago. bound for
San Francisco.
She had been at sea but a few days
when she ran into a typhoon that oil
but sank her. The fury Of the storm
was terrific. When it abated the Sheri-

gineers reported to Captain Pierce that
the machinery was disabled. The trans
port dirfted for time with the cur
rents Of the sea and almost went ashore
on the japanese coast.
On October 10th she reached Naga-
saki. much the worse for wear and was
put in drydock. After being thoroughly
repaired the Sheridan left Nagasal<i

Washington, December THE Grid
iron Club. composed Of forty Washing
ton correspondents, scored another not
able success tonight on the occasion Of
the December dinner. About $50 guests
assembled around the gridiron table at
the Arlington hotel, which was beauti-
fully decorated for the occasion.
As usual, the entertainment consisted
of burlesques and satires upon public
events and things, and numerous pub
lie men and prominent guests were
treated to the usual course of Gridiron
broiling, which is always of a good ma
tured kind.
Mr.. Arthur W. Dunn, the president of
the club, at the beginning Of the dinner,
announced that serious affairs of the
world would be reserved for other
times or treated in lighter vein, and
this was the keynote of the subsequent
proceedings. The features. as usual,
touched upon public events in a jocular
manner and began with a menu which
was a new Alice in Wonderland"
By the most delicate inference the il
lustrations and quotations could be ap-
piled to some of the events in the life
of President Roosevelt The arrival Of
the Collier Merriment'' (Merrimac)
with a supply of champagne to fill the
bunkers of the diners was a laughable
skit.
The selection of delegates to London
to attend the coronation furnished op-
portunity for the nomination of a num-
Der of guests for the place and their
nomination for various reasons.
There was quite a large number of
railroad men present. and they were all
brought out in a competition for a
beauty show and finally the prize was
awarded to B. W. Wrenn.
The comments of the members of the
club upon the various qualifications and
appearances of these railway officials
caused the room to echo with laughter
Another laughable skit was a fake
meeting Of an alleged cabinet in which
various sporting characters appeared
and tried to pass themselves off as the
real thing. They were finally hustled
out unceremoniously.
Among those who made excellent
speeches were Postmaster Gen. Smith,
Senators Allison and Mitchell the Chi
nese minister and ex-senator Carter
and Governor Francis, both now con-
nected with the Louisiana purchase ex-
position; Representative Lands Of In
DIANA Solicitor General Richardson Of
the department of justice, and others.
The musical programme, as usual,
was excellent, consisting of solos. quar-
tettes and chorouses, as we'll as catchy
topical songs.

Especial to the Messenger.l


Raleigh, December THE publication
today about practices OF strikers who
are working for certain republican law
yers in the federal court practice here
caused a big sensation.
An informal meeting OF the demo-
cratic members Of the bar attending the
federal court here. resulted In a deter
ulinat On TO call the attention OF Judge
Purnell to the system OF forcing persons
charged with violation OF revenue laws
to employ republican lawyers to the ex-
clusion Of democrats. Every lawyer
present cited instances among his own
clients. fully showing that federal sub.
officers were not only using their infiu-
ence TO procure employment OF republi-
can lawyers. bat were even threatening
persons charged with extreme punish
ment unless they should employ as their
counsel republicans. Members OF the
bar cited cases In which their clients
had been told that unless they employ
ed republican lawyers they would be
gwen the extreme penalty. and that if
they did employ a republican lawyer
they would get off light" They told
how their clients had been informed by,
these sub-officers that democratic law
yers had no influence with the court"
Among the members OF the bar are
several who are warm friends OF Judge
Purnell They Indignantly resent this
insinuation against his impartiality.
AS result OF this conference one OF
| the members of the bar went to see
| Judge Purnell today, told him what had
| been done. assuring him OF the entire
confidence and respect OF democratic
members Of the bar. and said these
| things were being said and the judic--
iary thereby brought into disrepute.
Judge Purnell was indignant and ss-
only awaiting opportunity to make an
example of any man who comes before
him relying upon effort of a republican
lawyer.
