ARRIVAL OF TAIGNY
WAS UNcEREMoNIousLY DE-
PORTED FROM VENEZUELA.

NJ. Taigny. the French charge at Caracas.
who was unceremoniously deported from
La Guaira after the severance of diplo-
matte relations between France and Vene-
zuela. has arrived in this city for the pur-
pose of reporting to NJ. Jusserand, the
French ambassador here. and comforting
with him as to his future course Of ac-
ton. He may call ON Secretary Root If
the latter requests it for the purpose Of
giving details regarding the situation in
Venezuela.
The United States government has no d.
rect interest in the case of NJ. Taigny, and
his visit to this city has no official con-
nection with the United States claims
against Venezuela 1t is for France and
not for the United States to seek redress
for the alleged insults oefYred NJ Taigny
by the Venezuelan president.
The present trouble between France and
Venezuela started when President Castro
seized the Venezuelan stations of the
French Cable Company and declared its
charter annulled. because 1t had violated
its contract and given aid to the Matos
revoutionists. M. Taigny protested Wig
orously, and after an exchange of notes
President Castro declined to deal further
with the French charge. The Venezuelan
foreign minister sent Taigny notice of that
decision in a letter which France consid-
cred offensive. It's withdrawal was de-
manded and finally granted. But Castro
still declined to deal with Taigny, and
France declined to send the regular minister
TO Caracas, with the result that all diplo-
matte relations were severed and the diplo-
matte representative of each country was
expelled from the other. French interests
in Venezuela have since been in temporary
charge of United States Minister Russell,
who made strong but Intellectual effort to
restore friendly relations.

EXCITEMENT ON a1sT STREET.
Mrs. Ida Mcintosh Received Painful
Burns.

Mrs. Ida Mcintosh forty-five years OF
age. of 1875 31st street, last evening fell
asleep on a sofa near a stove, and her
dress ignited She was severely burned
about her face, head and hands, but was
awakened in time to prevent what 1t Is
thought might have been fatality. With
out stopping to eXtinguish the blaze Mrs.
Mcintosh ran across the street to the home
of Mrs. Agnes Redden, 1889 31st street,
and startled the latter by her appearance.
The blazing clothing set fire to the furni-
ture in Mrs. Reddens house, and thereby
added to the excitement. Not stopping to
save her effects, Mrs. Redden endeavored
to tear the burning garments from her
neighbor and then finished the task by
wrapping her in blanket. Persons from
the street, attracted by the blazing dress,
had followed Mrs. Mcintosh into the house
of Mrs. Redden.
Calls were sent to the police and fire de-
partments for assistance, and quick re-
sponses by both relieved the situation. Mrs
Mcintosh was hurried to Georgetown I'M
versity Hospital to be treated for her
burns. While her condition was apparently
serious, she soon recovered from the shock
and the physicians said she was on the
road to recovery. 1t was stated at the hos
pital today that the patient was much bet
ter, and her complete recovery is expected.
After Mrs. Redden had concluded her ef-
forts in behalf of her neighbor she pro-
ceeded to save her own property, and had
extinguished the blaze by the time the
tiremen reached the house. Only about SIS
damage was caused to her furniture.

OLD oFFIcHas REFLECTED.
Georgetown Association Holds Annual
Observation-Disclosures Considered.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
Georgetown Citizens Association was held
last night at Cooperative Hall, 1925 sd
street northwest. The choice OF officers for
the ensuing year took place which resulted
in the reelection of the Old officers as fol-
lews: Smith Thompson. jr.. president;
George w. King. vice president; Henry p.
Gilbert. second vice president; William NJ.
Dcugal. treasurer and G. d. Miller. secre-
tary. each being elected for third term.
Several committees are to be appointed
some time during the month by President
Thompson. to assist in the years work,
and these will be announced at the next
regular meeting of the association.
President Thompson read his annual re-
pert after the business meeting, in which
the accomplishments of the Georgetown
Citizens Association during the past year
We're set forth. He cited that the only dis
enlargement of the association this year
was In failing to get an appropriation to the
extension of Prospect avenue from 3sth
street to the Canal road. This improve
ment he stated, with the assistance of the
association, he intended to make a strong
effort to get through the next session of
Congress. The association, as a whole, was
very much disappointed at the failure of
the passage of the bill providing for the
extension of this street, and could not I'M
derstand why the Commissioners failed to
fayorably recommend the improvement.
Rev. q. II. Copp presented a resolution,
which was Endorsed by the association. pro-
viding that the work being done by the
City Gardens Association should be given
the personal aid of the members OF the
Georgetown Cictizens' Association
Numerous complaints have been received
by the association from merchants on X
street between the Aqueduct bridge and
Rock creek as to the dangerous condition
OF the bridge over Rock creek al X street.
and special committee was appointed to
wait upon the proper authorities and to lay
before them the necessity of the constitute
ton of new bridge at this point. The
ommfttee consists of Messrs p. J. Bren-
nan, Smith Thompson and J. Barton Miller.
II was stated that more heavy hauling was
done over this bridge than over any other
bridge In the District, but in the past year
the watchman at the bridge has stopped
heavy vehicles, such as steam rollers etc.
from passing over the bridge. and made
tfem go over the NJ or p street bridge.
The first bridge over Rock creek at X
street was constructed over one hundred
years ago. it was stated and the engineers
in charge placed the following inscription
on one of the granite blocks: May the
Union Last as Long as This Bridge" Since
that time three bridges have been con-
structed at that point.
The report of the treasurer showed the
association to be financially strong. The
meeting last night was the first one held
since the change of the meeting night from
Monday to Wednesday.

COST OF BATTLEsHIPS.
Data Sent to Congress Regarding the
Connecticut and the Louisiana.

The Secretary of the Navy sent COM
that up to October 1, 1905, S.. 295 ,619. 50 had
been spent on the construction of the bat
tleship Connecticut, building at the New
York navy yard. and that 81 ,9S2 951.99 had
been expended on the construction of the
battleship Louisiana, building in the yards
OF the Newport News Shipbuildng and
Drydock Company. These are the two ves-
sells that have in a way been racing to-
ward completion, one being built by the
government and the other by private con-
tract. 1t is expected that the data OBJ
tanned from these parallel constructions
will throw some light the proposition
which comes up every now and then to
have many of the vessels of the United
States navy built at government yards
