NATURAL GAS UTILIZED Citizens
of Erie, Pa, have taken in hand the
matter of utilizing the natural gas
which characterizes the internal re-
giOns of that section. Several promi-
nent men have given notice of applica-
ton to the Governor of PENNSYLVANIA
for charter for a corporation to fur
nish natural gas for light and heat to
the city of Erie. Companies have been
formed among outsiders for the same
purpose, and the citizens of Erie, desir-
ing to see the enterprise confined to
Erie, have guaranteed enough patron
age to the home company to put the
enterprise upon paying basis. Gas
can be secured along the Lake Shore
anywhere at from 700 to 900 feet, and
the supply is so strong that it frequent
ly finds its way up through the ground
through springs, and in several places
along the shore of the lake it comes
bubbling up through sixty feet of
water,

There are a number of Chinese
women in Denver. The most of their
time is given to the adornment of their
persons, which, however, are NOT rem.
dered particularly charming bv the
process. Their heads are sight. The
hair is waxed until it is stiff and shiny.
Then it is pulled out in waves and
pulls over the ears, and caught up in
the back with mass of gaudy wax
and paper flowers, together with dang
ling ornaments of colored glass and
brass, supposed to be diamonds and
solid gold. No covering is worn ON
the head at any time. The ladies gem
orally carry parasol, and always ap,
pear ON the street with an immense red
or yellow silk handkerchief in one
hand; Whatever may he said against
the Chinese costume" says a white
woman, it Is certainly healthy and
comfortable one. These Chinese ladies
must be more comfortable in their
wide, loose trousers than American
ladies are in their trained or clinging
skirts"

THE SPREAD OF THE TELEPHONE
From time to time the Sun has given
reports of the spread of the telephone
wires in Maryland. The growth of
the telephone mode of rapid commu-

striking feature of progress and enter
prise. There are systems in Western
Maryland, Eastern Maryland and in

tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.
WAsHINGToN, Oct. 29.-It is said at the State
Department that the trip to Cuba at this time Of
the Assistant Secretary of State Mr. Davis is only
for rest and recreation and yet there s reason
to suspect that his journey is not made at this
son OF the year solely for that object 1t is rather
early the season. some suggest for who is not
acclimated to choose Havana as the place to spend
his vacation, especially in yellow fever year."
But there is a better reason than that to surmise
that Mr.. Davis has gone on tour Of official obser
walton, as well as ofpleasure.
ConsulGeneral Badeau has been in Washington
for several weeks and it Is learned from different
sources which appear to be trustworthy that he
has made strong representations, not only to
tho Secretary of State but to the
President and others In authority, as to the
condition of affairs In Cuba and the
deplorable effects upon the interests Of American
citizens who have capital invested there or who
are engaged in commerce with the island. 1t is
said that since tho Cuban rebellion was quelled
Spain has renewed her exaction and that they have
been so severe that the Cuban people are upon the
verge of bankruptcy, and business Of every kind is
in state of paralysis.
AMERICAN INTERESTS SUFFERING.
This stress is laid by Spain not only upon her own
subjects, but citizens Of the United States who
have business interests In Cuba are equal sufferers
Complaint is also made Of tho sharp and severe
discrimination exercised against the masters and
owners Of American vessels and cargoes in Cuban
ports and it is asserted that their reports to the
American Consuls, If published would disclose a
condition Of affairs which would so arouse the in
dignation Of the people Of the United States that
the Government would be compelled to take steps
for the protection of It's citizens and their property
UNJUST TREATMENT or AMERICAN VESSELS.
II is charged, among other things, that American
vessels and cargocs have been seized and de-
carcd forfeited OF their owners subjected to
heavy fines, simply because their masters
were unable to produce tho certificate of
Spanish Consul, despite the fact
that Spain had no Consuls at ports from which the
vessels sailed. II is understood that many other
facts showing the unsatisfactory condition OF af-
fans, have been brought 10 the attention or the
President and his Cabinet and that remedy has
been suggested.
1t seems not improbable, Therefore, that Mr.
DayiSs trip to Cuba at this junCturc may result IN
placing the State Department and the President in
possession of additional information having an I'M
portant bearing upon the abuses and grieN anceS to
which il is understood, General Badcau has urgent
ly invited attention. II is expected that Ar. DAVIS
will return to Washington before the President be-
gins the preparation Of his annual message 70 Con-
grcss.
