Released Again.
London—Airs. Emmeline Pankhurst,
militant suffragist leader, was again
released from Holloway jail today.
She havl started a "hunger and

arrest on Sunday at Glasgow and was
in an exhausted condition.
A demonstration has been arranged
by the militant suffragettes outside

the secrecy with which Mrs. Pank
hurst was removed in a taxicab to ji
nursing home.
Suffragists charge the police wltn
brutal treatment of the militant
leader at the time of her arrest in
Scotland. Mrs. Pankhurst fell dur

newspaper says the police threw her
bodily Into a cab where they allowed
her to lie on the floor while they sat
on the seats insulting her. An inves

When tlie Venezuela question stir
red the nation it was a mistake, ac
cording to this new "peace-at-any

Cleveland to have declared in a mes
sage that commanded Uie respect of
the world:
" 'Today the I'nlted States is prac
tically sovereign upon this continent
and its flat is law upon tlie subjects
to which it confines its interposition."
Tlie report warned the interstate
commerce committee and members of
the house that by the provision ot
the Sims bill, it would forever fore
close the right of the I’ntted States
to pass through the canal, without
payment of tolls, either battleship*,
revenue cutters, colliers, transports,
or other government-owned craft.
Tlie fact that the supreme court
rendered a dlolslon which sustained
the contention that the provisions ol
the Huy-PaunceTote treaty are not
applicable to vessels tn tlie coastwise
trade was cited as an additional argu

In his report said there was no doubt

It was a sad sight to see the little
no-legged man who sells pencils on
the eight hundred block stump hls
way acros the floor to the railing and
plead guilty to a charge of being
drunk. He was fined $3 or 6 days just
like anybody else. Judge Irvin said
that if he pardoned the man because
of his infirmities It would only lead
him to take advantage of his condi
tion by renewing the offence. More
than one person thought, however,
that were they the victim of hls mis
fortunes, they too would try to for
get.
And a great big negro named Alec
came up as a witness /in the case
against his girl, Mary Ella. Alec’s
head was bound up almost all over In
a neat hospital bandage.—(the caustic
remarks of the other day are hearing
early fruit!)—but even under the mass
of clean folded linen one could see that
his face on one side was swollen out
twice its size. He was really in a
very bad way. The girl, Mary Ella,
