paid no attention to him. and he gave him
a second warning at Park avenue, which had
no more effect than the first. At Fifth
avenue he told May that he was under ar
rest In the machine were Kelly, his wife

TIBET STILL A DANGER POINT.
Result Of British Expedition Not So Salts
factory as Expected.


LONDON. Oct. 1s.-Great Britain is
threatened with trouble in connection with
Tibet The Tibetans declare that they
are unable to pay the indemnity of seventy
five lakhs OF rupees in three years, and
have proposed that they pay one lakh
annually. Great Britain may possibly ac-
cept this proposition, but it will involve
the occupation of the Chumbi Valley for
seventy-fiye instead OF three years as pro-
vided for In the Anglo-Tibetan treaty.
Moreover. it has become known that the
Chinese Amban, who amiably met Col
Younghusband, the Civil Commissioner Of
the British expedition to Lhasa. declared
at the last moment that he could not sign
the treaty because Chinas suzerainty
was not sufficiently recognized. 1t is be-
leved that he acted on instructions from
Pekin, inspired by adverse foreign influences
there. The delay in China's ratification of
the treaty is regarded as serious.
Germanys alleged interference in the
matter through her Minister at Pekin is the
subject of outspoken editorials here. 1t
is declared that Germany's action is purely
mischievous, and that she is prompted by
a desire to curry favor with Russia.

For an Hour Great Stream Entered Her
Window in the Third story.

A 28-inch water main burst in front of
81 Sullivan street, Brooklyn, at TAO last
night, throwing big stream into the third
story window of the house. 1t entered the
apartments of Mary Laffey and flooded them
as well as the apartments below. For sew
eral weeks Sullivan street has been upset
while the Water Department has been
busy LAYING new mater wains, Yesterday
the workmen excavated in front of 81 Sui
Ivan street, leaving the .old, rusted and
wormeaten pipe exposed preparatory to
removing it and connecting the new pipe.
A number OF small boys In the neighbor-
hood were amusing themselves bythrowing
stones at the exposed pipe. There was
an explosion like the discharge OF a gun,
and a great volume OF water shot up in the
air. The boys ran away.
Charles Leslie, who occupied the second
floor of the house, raised his window to see
what was going on and was amazed at the
sight of a wall of water shooting up in the
air. He couldn't see that the water returned
to the ground and for a time had not the
slightest intimation as to where it was
actually going. By and by water began
to trickle, then food, through the ceiling
from the floor above. Mrs. Laffey and her
three children were frightened almost into
Mysteries.
Word was sent to the Water Department
to shut off the water, but it was not until
an hour had passed that the flow was
stopped. The damage was estimated at
5000 to furniture and household effects,
while the building was damaged $500.
