Golden, Ills. Dec. THE elopement
of Oscar Kuhnle, of Indiana. and Miss
May Wallace. of this place. caused
quite a sensation here Monday. Miss
Wallace attended church services Sun
day as usual. but did not return home.
Her parents, thinking she had gone
home with some of her girl friends to
spend the day, thought nothing strange
of her not returning at the dinner hour.
About $50 D. m. Sunday they received
a telegram from DuquOin from Kuhnle
saying: May and ! were married this
evening. Will explain later"

two years ago. Her parents objected to

1 tente, and paid a high compliment to
| United States representatives at the
court of St. James for many years past
| He referred 10 the blunt diplomacy of
| the Americans. and spoke in nigh praise
of the oratorical gifts of American dip
| lomats. and proceeding said: Such
oratOrical gifts have not. But 1 feel
the strongest desire to say a few words
| which may work toward the end for
which a British ambassador is sent
abroad 1t has not been without much
reflection and anxiety that l decided to
depart on this occasion from the tradi-
tional limits by which a diplomatist
is hampered."
Sir Edmund Monson then proceeded
to dilate on the recent remarkable out
burst of public feeling in Great Britain
provoked by the Fashoda incident and
said he ventured to express the hope
that the idea Of Great Britain being un-
duly squeezeable and prone to make
graceful but impolitic concessions is
thorougly exploded.
He appealed to France to disabuse
herself Of all suspicion of unfair inten-
lion upon the part of Great Britain to
try to believe there was no general
animosity in England toward France
and TO meet England on every question
of issue with an honest desire for an
equitable arrangement.
He concluded as follows: Il would
earnestly ask officials in power and un-
official opponents of public opinion to
Ciscountenance and abstain from a con-
tiHuance Of the policy of pin-pricks
which, while IL can only procure an
ephemeral ratification to a shOrt-lived
ministry. must inevitably perpetuate
across the channel an intoIeraOlc iTri-
tation. I would entreat them to resist
the temptation to thwart British enter
prise by petty narOeuVres such as the
General Kitchener's projected institu-
tion in the re-Conquered Souoan. Such
ill-considered provocatiOn might have
the effect of converting Great BritGn's
policy Of fCrbearsnCe in Egypt into the
adoption OF measures at which i pre-
sumo French sentiment is not aiming"
London, Dec. Sir Edmund Mouson's
remarkable speech in Paris last even
ing has created sensation here. Most
of the papers regard il as an unfortu
nate fndiscretion. The Times. which is
almost alone in expressing approval of
Sir Edmund Monson's utterances, goes
so far as to regret that he did not add
to his excellent speech an explicit state
ment of the fact that the principle of
the Fashcda expedition will govern
the Bahr-el-Gazal basin. There is little
doubt that the speech viii be deeply re-
sented in France. especially as it was
evidently carefully prepared and was
read in the delivery.
