AN IRATE YOUNG WOMAN.

Some excitement was created at the
corner OF Cameron and Alfred streets
yesterday afternoon by a young woman
from Washington who had visited this
city with the ayowed purpose OF
wreaking vengeance upon young
woman of Alexandria to whom young
man of the capital city She alleged
was paying attention. The Washing
ton woman urged prior claims upon the
Romeo, and meeting the feminine OBJ
ject of her search was about to carry
out the purpose OF her visit when the
police interferred and prevented the
confic. by arresting the irate young
woman. Upon reaching the station
house she was told she would be re-
leased provided she returned to Wash
ngton Immediately. This she was
10th to do unless accompanied by the
young man, who, she alleged. had
been paying court to her and the
Alexandria woman. She was eventual
ly released, and, it is supposed, re-
turned to her home.

Cashiers Confession.

Jersey City, N. j., Aug. THAT
the hired Frank Walsh, novice in the
use OF explosives, to blow the safe of
the Long Dock Milling Company and
destroy his books TO cover up defal-
cation of $4,000 was the confession
made today by Samuel Brown, cashier
of the Long Dock Company. Walsh
was SO terribly burned in the explosion
that he died today in ST. Francis Hos
pital.
Browns idea was to have the safe
blown open, the banks destroyed and
then the building set on fire. But
Walsh knew nothing about soup" and
after plugging up the door of the safe
poured 10 enough glycerine to blow
open six safes. 1t blew the doors off
the safe but it also wrecked the inside
of the Office, blew Walsh's eyes out of
his head, his clothing from his body,
aud terribly and horribly injured him.
When found, Walsh gamely denied
knowledge OF any explosion saying be
went into the building to sleep. The
police, however, did not believe him
and confronted Brown with him. The
cashier broke down at once and con-
fessed.

MOVED VOTE Of CENsuRE
AGAINST GOVERNMENT I.
Balfour Declares British Govern
ment's Conduct Unconstitutional
in Action for New Peers.

London, Aug. Arthur J. Bal
four, leader OF the opposition, today in
the House OF Commons moved vote
OF censure for what he declared to lie
the government s unconstitutional con-
duct in advising the king to create new
peers to pass the veto bill i'll the House
Of Lords, before the necessity had
arisen.
This action followed the reply Of
Premier Asquith to Balfour's question
as to ju,t when the king had made the
promise to create enough new peers to
pass the veto bill. The premier said
that the promise was made latter Lord
Lansdowne had succeeded in wrecking
/ the amendments to the bill.
Balfour declared that the conduct of
the government in the matter vas un
precedented ih any constitution coun
try. The government, he said. had
placed itself above the constitutional in
order to conciate the different parlia-
mentary sections, not in obedience to
strong public opinion but to force home
rule through parliament which was
pugnant to majority Of electors.
The premier said that following
King Edwards death. and frutless
party conferences, he informed King
George on November 15 Of last year,
that the government would not advise
the dissolution Of Parliament unless it |
was assured in the event Of the Liberals
being returned to power, the king
would be ready to exercise his powers
which might involve the creation Of
new peers. The king, said Asquith,
replied that he felt he would have no
other alternative but would only take
such action upon the advice and with
the assent OF the cabinet The premier
declared that no positive demand hal
been made or pledge given at that
tinp
