Her friends becoming alarmed in formed the Boston police and diligent search was made, not only in Boston and vicinity, but in other parts of New England. Finally the young lady's relatives gained information that led them to believe that she was in New York. There was rumor that she was accompanied by Q young man, and that the circumstances indicated that the pair had planned an slope- ment. MT. James Sturges concluded to come to New York in search of his daughter. He arrived here on Monday night and at once sought the aid of the police. In company with his nephew Dr. F. R. Sturges, he visited Superintendent Walling at police headquarters and the superintendent promised to do all in his power to ascertain the whereabouts of the young lady. To-day Superintendent Walling detailed Detectives Dunn and Cunning to work up the case, and those officers succeeded in ascertaining the whereabouts of the missing girl. She will leave for her home in Boston tomorrow. Dr. F. R. Sturges said today that she did not elope with young man and she simply left her home on account of a mis- understanding with her relatives. The mis- understanding, however, has been cleared up and the lady is willing to return to Boston.

Investigating the Exodus.


 WASHINGTON, March 9.-The Senate Ex- odus Committee to-day began the examina- tion of. witnesses summoned by the Republi- can members, and for several sessions to come the testimony will be of asdiferent character from that given by witnesses called at the in- stance of Senator Voorhees,. John O. New, chairman of the Republican State Committee of Indiana, and MT. Dudley, also member of the committee, were examined to-day. They testified in substance that the movement of negroes to Indiana from North Carolina was not political, and that from 8 political stand point the Republican leaders of Indiana were opposed to their coming. No contributions had been made to help the exodus movement, but after the negroes had arrived charity was extended to them, when needed. Not over i've per cent. were voters, and their presence would not change the vote of the State. At least eighty per cent. had found good homes and there is plenty of room for more. Col. New said the party had done all it could to discourage the exodus movement, but after the negroes came they would not be allowed to starve. Wednesday the committee will ex- anime colored witnesses from Mississippi and Louisiana.
