ELOPED WITH AN INDIAN.
Charge Filed Against Bourbon
County Young Lady.

Fort Scott, Kas., Jan. 24.-Lulu Hus-

arrival OF officers from Wichita. wnerc
they are to be taken and tried for eiop-
ing. Miss Hustus. who IS we'll known ia
the vicinity OF Napoleon, is from most
highly respectable family, and has j
great many friends in this city also
She conversed freely with the officers
at the calaboose after being arrested,
and denied emphatically that the au-
thorities at Wichita had any kind Ca
charge to proffer against her. She
stated that she had been in Wichita d
few days. met the Indian, and simply
started home. and he followed her.
The Indian is a sulien young man
whose parents are said to be quite
wealthy. He has uttered but one woro
since his arrest. He was evidently fas-
cinated with the young woman at first
sight ana followed her to this city ia
the hope that she would marry him.

GAS IN SHUNGANUNGA.
w. g. Myers Observes Peculiar
Phenomenon in South Topeka.

Near the banks of the Shunganunga
creek on the southeast suburbs of To-
peka has been observed a phenomenon
of nature which is believed to indicate
the presence of natural gas. 1t is on
the property of William G. Myers at
113 East Twentieth street For eleven
years Myers has owned and occupied
about an acre at that location, a part
of it being nearly on the level of the
stream and subject to overflow at times
of high water.
Myers says that he has repeatedly
observed during freshets that the wa
ter, when flowing few inches deep
over the place mentioned, seeths and
bubbles and that when the water be-
comes deeper it is spouted into the air
sometimes to the height of ten or fifteen
feet. 1t is only about once each year
that the water reaches a height suffi-
cient to flood the Myers place but Mr..
Myers states that invariably at the
time of flood this bubbling and spout
ing recurs. He has been unable to &C
count for it himself but lately called
the phenomenon to the attention of a
gas expert, who gave the opinion that
it was the result of the escape of nat
ural gas. Since then the matter has
been called to the notice of the Topeka
Commercial club. If the opinion of
the first gas expert can be duplicated
by that of any other in the state it is
probable that the Commercial club will
do some prospecting in the locality

OUIGG,S STORY.
Only Acted for a Friend in Holland
Boat Matter.

Washington, Jan 24-Lemuel E.
Quigg has made the following statement
regarding the testimony before the
house naval affairs committee by Rep
resentative LESSER:
I regret that the committee declined
to receive my testimony, inasmuch as
think it should have gone out with Mr..
I4essIer's I have no interest whatever
and never had in the Holland boat or
any other company organized to pro-
mote nor am I ever in any way inter
ested in obtaining pending or other leg
iSlatiOn in their behalf. At the SOllc1ta-
ton of a friend. whose name 1 viii give
to the committee. who said he was in
terested consented to speak with MI.
LESSER in advocacy Of the boat As the
result of efforts to reach Mr.. LeSSler BY
telephone I was visited by Philip Doblin,
whom I knew to be Mr. BeSsler's per
sOnal friend I made no other request
Of DOblin than that he should let me
know when Mr.. LESSER was in town ana
in his office, in order that I might see
him. Subsequently Doblin called at my
Office again and told me that Lessler
was in his office. and called there Mr..
LESSER at his Office did not open tie
conversation by saying that of cOursS
there could be no talk about money. He
did not say this then or at any Other
time during the conversation nor was
there any talk about money except In
his own declarations against the meth
DDS to which he said the comp&ny was
resOrring.
II IS very true. however ne QAQ HJI
mention to me any prior conversation
between him and DobIn. He received
me politely and in a friendly way, and
1t was who introduced the subject O.
the Holland torpedo boat Mr.. Lessler
promptly announced his opposition to
the pending appropriation, and stated
with great detail why in his opinion the
! Holland boat should not pass. 1 did no.
feel myself sufficiently well informed
about the merits to discuss them with
him, and when he was done l told him
i that / guessed he knew more about the
subject than 1 did: that I had sufi-
GENTLY performed my errand, and that
/ [ had no request whatever to make of
/ him. did not mention to Mr.. Lessler
/ the name of the gentleman who request
ed me to talk with him or say more on
that subject than that he was a friend
whom I should like to obhge. AS mat
ter of fact. he was not General Eppa
Hunton, or any Mr. Hunter, or any per
son of similar name. 1 never said
anything of that sort to Mr.. LESSER.
4 Subsequent to this conversation between
Lessler and me Doblin called twice al
my office, urging me to visit LESSER
again, but 1 did not do so"
Mr.. Quigg also specifically denied the

THREATENED.
Proposed Reciprocity Treaty
With Cuban Republic
Is Causing Much Disturbance to
the British Mind.
CABINET MEETING
Has Been Called Especially to
Consider the Matter.
RemOnstrance With Mr.. Hay
Brought No Satisfaction.

London Jan 24.-The reciprocity
treaty between Cuba and the United
States threatens to raise one of the
most serious differences of opinion be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States that has occurred for years. So
much Importance is attached to the
matter that a meeting of the cabinet is
being specially summoned to see what
action can be taken. This is of course,
no alarmist feeling as to a possible
straining of diplomatic relations, but
Great Britain's entire commercial policy
is believed to be vitality concerned. The
matter came to a head through the
deputation from the chamber of COM
merce of the United Kingdom which
waited upon Foreign Secretary Lans-
downe yesterday. It included several
members of parliament and represented
the most powerful business interests
from all the British industrial centers.
Replying to the delegates argument
that all the advantages which the gov
eminent had gained by securing the
abolition of the sugar bounties would
be sacrificed if the Cuban reciprocity
treaty became operative, Lord Lans-
dOwne said he thoroughly realized the
gravity Of the situation and proceeded
to read dispatches showing that An
DdSSdQOf I1GIDGII nd0 LOICHIulS repre-
scented the British objections to the
treaty, pointing out that it was to all
intents and purposes a discrimination
against all the British possessions in the
West Indies. Secretary Hays reply
maintained that the United States was
doing no more than it had the right to
do and intimated that it had no inten-
ton Of modifying the Cuban treaty
Lord Lansdowne added that all the
information available pointed to the
fact that the treaty would pass. but he
announced that the cabinet would con-
slider if anything further could be done.
The delegates said they understood
that the treaty contains a secret clause
stipulating that no further measures OF
reciprocity shall be undertaken. by the
United States towards the British West
Indies. If such was the case 1t was sug-
gested to Lord Lansdowne that Great
Britain would be only within her rights
in retaliating with an increased duty on
grain. The foreign secretary gave no
intimatiOn on this point which appar-
emily, was only suggested in the hope
that some of the members of the cab
met who are reported to be strongly in
favor of more protectionist policy
might use it as a handle to forward
their views.

LOSING ELM TREES.
Those in New Haven, III Years Old
Rapidly Decaying.

New Haven. Conn, Jan 24-If plans
now in the minds OF the park commits
siOnerS of New Haven mature, an innO-
walton may come in the planting of
trees about the historic New Haven
Green The fine Gordon of elm trees set
out in 1892 by James Hillhouse on the
Green, which has made this city IA
nous as the City of Elms, has de-
cayed so rapidly in the last few years
and has been attacked so viciously by
by the elm tree beetle that over a dozen
of the finest specimens have already
been cut down. and within a few weeks
four more are to go. 1t is now proposed
to reset the Green with a new tree,
other than an elm, and for that purpose
investigation is to be begun to discover
some tree that can take the place of the
elmS. This suggestion was made at
conference of city officials yesterday:
At present two rows of magnificent
elm trees surround the New Haven
Green, almost all of the specimens being
upward of a hundred years old They
were planted about 1892 by James Hill
house, the purpose being rather to keep
the sand from shifting across the Green
than to beautify the city. Since that
time the elns have grown to magnif~
cent proportions, and have given to the
New Haven Green a fame among tree
lovers that no other public common in
this country has attained. Old age, the
asphalting of the surrounding streets
and the advent of the beetle pest have
cOnspired to kill off these great trees,
until within the last year or two the
park commission has had to cut down
several of the largest and is now under
the necessity of cutting down more. The
city has not deemed it necessary to give
enough money to the commission to
preserve the eIms. The public is aroused
over the condition, and a vigorous move
ment may be made toward securing a
sufficient appropriation to preserve the
trees
