men under the charge of Superintendent
Shakalton, of the Consumers Gas Trust
Company. went outside the city limits and
with their wrenches throttled the fast-wan
ing and much mooted supply of natural gas.
Acting in accordance with a statement sent
cut by the directors and trustees of the Gas
Trust Company that the supply of natural
gas would cease on April 1, the flow was
cut off promptly at midnight.
In spite of the low pressure. the shutting
off of the supply will affect about 1000 fam
lilies of the city. 1t could have been great
deal worse. for at one time the Gas Trust
supplied over 5000 families with natural
gas Since the flow has been diminishing
during the past few years reliance on gas
for heating has steadily fallen off. The COM
pany was Incorporated in 1887.
Hope for economical and clean heating
facilities is now centered on the future of
the company. which is fraught with uncer-
tainty. Whether the company will con-
tinue its life by converting its plant into
a concern supplying artificial gas rests upon
courts Judge Anderson yesterday filed
ruling in the Federal Court on the petition
of Byron G.. Quinby for restraining order.
He ruled that the supply of gas be stopped.
This however does not dispose of the
suit which Is also TO prevent the making
of artificial gas.

JAPANESE DENOUNCE
ACTION OF RUSSIANS

TOXIC, March 31.-The action of Russian
warships I'm sinking the Japanese coasting
steamer Hanyei Maru last Saturday is
deeply resented by the Japanese. In Off
cial circles the attack upon and the sinking
OF this vessel near Taichin island is pro-
nounced TO be clear violation ot the neu-
trality of China. besides being act of
wantonness against defenseless craft.
The sinking of the japanese steamer Ma
konamara Maru by the Russian Vladi-
vostok squadron near the Tsugaru straits is
recalled The Hanyei MaEu was old
steamer Of sixty-four tons and had been
chartered by some correspondents of Jap
anese newspaper.
After transferring ten Japanese and seven
Chinese from the Hanyei Maru the fire of
two vessels was directed upon the steamer,
and one of the Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers sent several shells through her
hull When she appeared to be sink
ing the Russian ships started at
full speed in the direction of Port
Arthur. Three of the crew of the Hanyei
Maru concealed themselves on board when
the Russians came over to remove them
and later escaped in a junk from the sink
ing vessel. The Japanese generally pro-
nounce this affair to be a barbarous breach
of the laws OF nations and OF humanity.
The account received from Che-Foo yes

EVANSVILLE, Ind, March S1.-The
greatest flood along the Wabash river since
the August freshet in 1875 is now expected.
The river at New Harmony stands nearly
twenty-three feet tonight, only two feet
under the stage reached in 1875 Two more
feet of water is expected at New Harmony,
into which town the water is now backing.
Boats have been engaged all day rescuing
people and stock from the lowlands The
flood victims and their stock are safely
quartered in GRANVILLE, H.. and New
Harmony, and thus far the officials have
been able to take care of the people.
Captain Frank Fitton president of the
Wabash Valley Improvement Association,
stated tonight there had been no loss of
life, although there are several families
on some of the islands in the Wabash river
who have not yet been rescued. Much
stock is being cared for at the fair grounds
at New Harmony. The steamer Bernice
will make another trip down the river FRI
day 10 rescue flood victims.
The Wabash river rose seven inches at
Vincennes last night. The river is also
rising at Mount Carmel, H., and stands

the pumps are working with the greatest

prevent il floating away
The loss to property along the Wabash
from GRANVILLE down will be enormous.
Buildings and fences have been washed out
and many bridges have been destroyed.
With rise of two more feet the loss will
exceed that of the 1875 flood by many thou
sands.
The roadbed of the Evansville & Terre
Haute Railroad at Hazleton mas given
away and no trains will be able to cross
White river for several weeks. The break
in the roadbed was caused by the back
water from White river and is in the same
place where a bad wreck occurred several
years ago, when many lives were lost.
The Ohio river is stationary here to-
night and will be falling by Friday morn
ing, but it is rising above. Rain began to
fall again tonight.
The losses to farmers between this city
and Cairo will be enormous. 1t is estimated
the loss on the wheat crop alone will reach
a quarter of a million dollars, as hundreds
of the thousands of acres along the Ohio
river are under water and the crop will be
entirely killed. Lumbermen will also lose
heavily, as many logs have been swept
away.
