In LOVE WITH PEAKS
But Will Probably Postpone Further
Acquaintance There
with.

Colorado Springs. Colo, June 3U.-
Clinging to Il narrow rock shelf on
Cook Stove mountain, hungry, thirsty,
suffering from cold, and facing the
probability that they might never be
discovered or rescued. Sam Lower, of
Upton, Ia, and Miss Goldie Hutchins.
of Tippecanoe City, o.. lived through
eighteen hours of terrible distress.
Their slender footing $1,000 feet above
the sea level was 1000 feet above hui
man habitation. Miss HutchinS is Il
years old and weighs only 100 pounds.
She fell in love with the peaks and
determined to scale them. Her broth
er was too busy to accompany her, SO
Lower volunteered to act as her escort.
Cook Stove mountain was selected as
the peak.
When the mountain was reached 100
feet of stone rose abruptly before
them. Forty feet up a shelf two by
four feet afforded resting place to
the climbers. When they wished to
descend they found that they could not
reach the points which had aided their
ascent. and it was forty feet to the
first landing below. On this ledge they
were imprisoned for eighteen hours.
A searching party was sent out after
the couple. Ascending the peak, the
SearcherS were guided by Lowers
voice He explained the position and
asked that Il rope be lowered. None
had been brought, and return to
camp was necessary. This took sew
eral hours.
Food and water We're lowered to the
young couple. and after they had been
refreshed sufficiently to stand the
strain n rope was sent down, which
Lower fastened around the girls
waist. She was drawn to the top of
the peak, after which the rope was
sent down again and her companion
scaled the heights.

ture on Ship Flying
Old Glory.

Havana, June 30.-The arrest of
AmadeO Raves and Isabelle La Cavali-
rie in Havana harbor bids fair to cause
international complications involving
the representatives of the United
States, France. Mexico and Cuba. The
persons arrested arrived at Havana on
the steamship Havana, OF the Ward
line, from Mexico, en- route TO New
York. Raves is charged with embez-
element by the father of Isabelle La
CaValirie, who had the Mexican au-
thoritieS cable to the Mexican consul
here 10 arrest the couple on their ar
rival and stating the charges against
Raves.
Captain Registers a Protest.
On receipt of the cable the Mexican
consul advised with the French charge
d'affaires and together they presented
the case to SenOr ZaldO, Cuban secre-
tary Of foreign affairs. Secretary Zal-
do decided that it was possible TO hold
the couple, and demanded of the cap
tain of the ship their delivery. Captain
Robertson protested and advised with
United States Minister Squires, asking
the latter to give orders for their re-
turn TO dis ship. Minister Squires re-
fused, declining to assume any reSpon-
Sibility in the matter. Captain Robert
son was forced to give up the passen-
gers, but registered Il protest in the
United States legation, holding that
passengers i'll transit could not be tax
en- from a ship in an intermediate
country where no violation of law was
charged to have been committed.
Squires Makes "A Suggestion.
aAIinister Squires suggested that the
proper course would be to allow the
passengers to continue their voyage to
New York and arrest them there, as
the United States had an eXtradition
treaty with Mexico. Secretary Zaldo
desired to extend courtesy to Mexico,
which had a criminal arrest in prog
reSs at the request of the Cuban au-
thOrities. On account of the quaran-
tine against Mexico the couple were
taken in charge by the immigrant COM
missioner and placed i'll quarantine
across the bay from Havana. At the
expiration of the quarantine detention
the girl Will he delivered to the French
charge d'affaires and the man will he
kept In prison here until the case is
settled.

been Sweethearts for several months

edges owing money in Mexico. He has |
cabled his father in Paris for $500 to |

OTHER IMPORTANT MEASURES
Which the Present Congress Has Sue

ceeded I'm Getting Through.
Other measures of Importance
passed by this congress are as follows:
The Philippine civil government bill.
which extends to our remote Pacific
possessions a system of internal civil
government, together with coinage,
currency. banking. corporation, tim
Der and homestead IENys; repeal of the

but have not progressed to the final
stage These fhclude the anti-anarchy
legislation; bill giving statehood to
Arizona. New Mexico and Oklahoma.
known as the omnibus statehood bill;
the ship subsidy bill secured early at
tention in the senate but the end of the
session has come without the measure
being reported to the house; bill Gre
ating the Appalachian forest reserve;
bill to establish a cable between the
United States, Hawaii and the Philip
pines
Several other measures have adj
vanced to n certain stage and have
then halted without much prospect for
further advancement. These include
the bill for the election Of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people; the pure food measure; bill
defining the meaning of conspiracy in
injunction cases. The senate passed
an important measure creating de-
partment Of commerce to be presided
over by a cabinet officer, but it has
made no progress in the house. The
Fowler financial bill was also left for
the next congress to tackle.
The amount of appropriations for
the session will run unusually high.

Washington, June 30.-The exact
time when the present session OF con-
gresS shall come to close cannot be
fOretOld until there is definite infOrma-
ton as TO when an agreement will be
reached on the Philippine civil govern
ment bill. However. the general con-
census OF opinion places the adjourn
ment on tomorrow. or at the latest,
Wednesday. This prediction involves
the opinion that the Philippine con-
ferrees will be able 10 conclude their
woRk today. That they can do that
is quite evident in view of what al
ready has been accomplished in the
way Of harmOnizing the differences on
that bill. and on account OF the proba-
bility that parts OF the measure will
be dropped in case it should appear
that no agreement can be reached eX-
cept through prolonged exchange of
views.
Statesmen Anxious to Get Away.
Neither house is disposed to extend
the session for more than day or
two for the purpose of seeing agree
ment on all the features or the bill.
when 1t is felt on all hands that the
preservation OF no one feature of the
bill Is necessary to its success as n
whole. 1t l. not believed In any quar-
ter that either house will consume a
great deal of time In debating the con-
ference report when presented. but lest
the debate should run longer than is
expected the resolution fixing the time
for adjournment will not be brought
in until the Philippine conference re-
port shall be made to and accepted by
both houses.
Calendars Are Pretty Clear.
OF the appropriation bills only the
general deficiency and the naval bill
remain to receive the finishing touches.
There are still some points of differ
ence on each of these measures be-
tween the two houses. but none that
cannot be harmOnized whenever the
Philippine bill shsll be out OF. the way.
Neither house will attempt much other
business. Both houses will close the
session with exceptionally clean calen-
dars. With the exception of the Cuban
reciprocity bill most of the larger sub
jects OF general legislation have been
enacted into laws or will become such
before the session closes. Notable
among these larger measures is the
isthmian canal bill
