Hay Become Serious.

Notice of the action of a special
justice at Lee, Mass, in fining Hugh
Carney, third secretary of the British
Embassy, was received at the state
department in telegram from Mr.
Raikes, first secretary of the Embassy
who is at Lenox. The department
Immediately transmitted this telegram
in substance to the governor of Mass
achusetts, with the request that he do
whatever might be necessary to secure
the diplomatic immunity of Mr..
Carney.
1t is believed at the department
that the matter may be far more seri-
Gus than the local officers at Lee
seem to regard it. In the first place,
by constitutional and statutory laws,
the persons attached to an Embassy
are expressly relieved from any. legal
responsibility, and the exemplifica-
ton even extends to domestic SER
wants.
It will remain for the governor of
Massachusetts to take initial action
in this case, which will require
prompt redress.

A report came over from Boise
Wednesday that the postmistress of

fire before the grand jury in the

just what she is charged with but it is
understood there are two or three al

evidence against her and it is almost
certain that one or more indictments
will be returned. Whether there is
any truth in the report remains to be
