Industries.,
"WASHINGTON, Oct. 1$. Henry E.
Cooper Territorial Seer Aary, and. for sevi
cral months prior tohis departure fDr'the
Lnited "Slates Acting Governor ol HJr
wail, hab discussed with Secretary of Ag
riculture Wilson trie conditions in the
territory. One of the main aims of Mr.
Cooper's trip here is to acquaint the Ad
ministration frith the actual situation in
Hawaii. In his conference with Secretary
Wilson, he emphasized the seriousness ot
the Jaoor problem. The natives' are dying
off rapidly, the mortality being in the
neighborhood of 40 death to the thou
sand, and foreign laborers are getting out
of the country much more rapidly than
they arc; coming in. The encouragement
of Chinese labor, eaid he, is regarded, as
the most oromlsinc solution, and the ter-
?ii-nrii mwmMBir 1st affirious that large J
numbers of laborers shall come in from I
China The sugar-cane crop that should
have been harvested, at the beginning ot
July, he said; Is not yet oft the Held, and
will not' ha- harvested before next month.
Ihe natives generally will not work. Tne
coffee industry Is languishing, and many
things that should be raised there have to
be bought outside the- islands.
Secretary "Wilson Informed Mr. Cooper
of a report from the superintendent of the
Agricultural Station in Honolulu,, showing
among other things, that it costs $2 aw
acre- to- fertilize the cane- crop in Ha
waii, and pointed out tne bi&- farm wage
which has to- be paid to- farm laborers? 540
a, month. Including- board, which i? ap
proximately 510 monrthan In this country.
Sir; Cooper suggested1 that the average
farm wage might even be greater. Sec
retary Wilson told Mr. Cooper-of the plans
the department was making- for Hawaii'
and said- that- he- intended to build up- the'
coffee; spice- and" rubber and other indus
tries and to' help to diversify the Ha
waiian industries-. No attention will be
paid to the sugar industry there, as Mr.
Wilson contends that that already is de
veloped to the limit The department pur
poses, said Mr. Wilson, to make ail these
islands within the United States raise
whatever is adaptable to them, individ
ually, and to furnish everything that is
needed among themselves;
Mix Cooper called at the Interior De
partment today and finally revised his
srmual report; which he has submitted to
Secretary Hitchcock. He says all experi
ments harve shown that the Americans
are not fitted fpr labor in the islands, and?
that there is nothing- to do but to get for
eign labor. Mr. Cooper eaye this in no
wise will affect the labor conditions in the
"United States, as the entrance of foreign
labor Already is sufficiently guarded"
against here. He pointed out that $j!0,
000,000 worth of machinery and similar
supplies had to be brought from, the
"Tinted States for use in Hawaii during the
last year, and said that improved" condi
tions there would advance commercial,
conditions here. He will leave for Ha
waii next Thursday,
XXMJSTRXAL GOMailSSIGSi'SJ REPORT.
General ReviTV of the- Testimony
Talfcen. an Labor Questions.
WASHINGTON, Oct, 18. The industrial
Commission today made public its re
port on labor disputes and arbitration.
It is- a comprehensive document, review
ing the testimony of the witnesses that
have appeared before the commission on
the subject, and takes up- In detail the
evidence of collective bargaining, concil
iation and arbitration, and the laws and-
Gourt decisions governing labor combina
tions. Local systems of collective- bar
gaining and. conciliation between em
ployes, it is stated, have been most high
Iy developed In the building, brewery,
boot and shoe, wood-working and metal
trades, some branches of the clothing,
trade and in the transportation business;
in other -words. when? both employers
and employes- are strongest organized.
By far the largest number of written
agreements prescribing" the conditions of
labor are made between organizations of
working-men on one side and employers
acting individually on the other: There
is a growing movement in favor of col
lective bargaining, conciliation and arbi
tration as between organizations of employers-
and employes covering' an indus
try throughout the country or through
out large sections where the conditions
of business are generally similar.
Systems of arbitration as to specific
-disputes have; been established in a. formal
manner and on a national scale in the
stove molding-., the general foundry, the
machinists (now- no$ fax existence), and?
the printing: trades. Among1 these, tire
printing trade is the only one which pro
vides for reference ot the disputes- to. an.
outside person where,, the direct repre
sentatives of the two sides fail to agree.
The report praises state boards of arbi
tration for doing much toward furthering
industrial peace. Representatives of em
ployers and working men who have testi
fied before the commission: almost uni
formly have opposed compulsory arbi
tration. Several state boards of arbitra
tion in the United States have also ex
pressed their opinion against compulsory
arbitration as a crenerai nrinclolei and
one or two of the boards have speclfially I
opposed It in any form. State arbitration
boards In New Tori. Indiana, Ohio and
Illinois have compulsive power in cer
tain cases, as where life and public wel
fare are endangered or great inconveni
ence and loss are entailed on the people,
as in railroad strikes.
GENERAL CORBIX'S REPORT.
He Says the Pacific Army Transport
Servlee Is Costing: Too Mock.
WASHINGTON, Oct 18. The annual
report of Major-General Henry C. Cor
bln, Adjutant-General of the Army, com
prehensively reviews the work, condition
and needs of the military establishment.
General Corbln submits a table to show
that the Army in the Philippines is to be
reduced by expired enlistments at the
rate of about 3000 a month from now on
until June, 1902. The question whether the
regiments thus depleted in strength are
to remain or be recruited to their full
-roster, he says. Is one requiring the very
earliest consideration. The losses from
all causes in the regular Army and the
volunteers from July 1, 1900, to June 30
last totaled 16.924 officers and men in the
former and 191 in the latter. The casual
ties to the troops in the Philippines since
the date of the first arrival, June 30,
1S9S. to June 30 last, were 115 officers and
3378 men dead and 1S2 officers and 2646
men -wounded.
General Corbln invites special attention
to the remarks of Colonel Mills, superin
tendent of the West Point Military Acad
emy, upon the improved discipline and
generally excellent condition of the Cadet
Corps. It Is safe to predict, says General
Corbln, that hazing of a brutal nature is
a thing of the past He devotes special
attention to the question of the Instruction
of the Army. He believes that the system
of training for officers should begin 'with
elementary technical instruction at each
post, and terminate in the higher training
which would be provided at a war col
lege, the speedy organization of which h.e
considers most desirable. General Corbln
recommends that the old law requiring
that each candidate from the ranks for a
commission in the Army be a "non-commissioned
officer in good standing who
has displayed aptitude for command and
control of men" be revived.
General Corbln believes that the Army
transport service on the Pacific Is cost
ing the Government' much more than the
use of commercial steamship lines would,
for the latter would have the advantage,
denied to the Government, of transport
ing passengers, freight and malls to and
from the Orient He suggests that Con-
gress with safety could offer inducements
to United States companies to install a
line of. steamers- under charter that
would, permit them,, in case- of necessity,
to serve as- reserve Army and Navy
transports. By this, says General Corbln,
the Government interests -would be far
mare economically and- just as. efficiently
administered. It would be particularly
beneficial to the mail service, he says,
which has been very unsatisfactory to
the military and civil government in the
' Philippines ever since the occupation. Qf.
the islands. An equally Important need
of the service, he says, is a domestic cable
;iront the Pacific Coast to the Philippines.
He urges that more comfortable quar
ters for the troops in the Philippines be
provided as soon as possible, and that an
appropriation be made for the erection of
afiores in and about Manila, where the
Government now pays $300,000- annually
for the use of rented buildings. If the
suggestions are adqpted, General Corbln
says,, tne cost or maintaining tne Army in
the Philippines wilt be scarcely more than
if, the troops were In home stations.
He strongly recommends that Congress
shajl authorize the retirement ot not to
exceed two Major-Generals on the active
and one on the retired list, with the rank
ot Lieafenanl-General. He points out that
the distinguished services of Major-Generals
Metritt Brooke and Otis fully en
title them, to this honor..
REPORTS- RETROGRESSION.
Jlfilvjlle Recommend Many Changes-la-
i&e Engineering Department-
WASHINGTON., Oct IS. That there has
been, retrogression- rather than an, advance
aiosig- engineering- Hues in the- Navy dur
ing, the past two- yara is the most sig
nincant statement contained in the an
nual report of Admiral George Melville,
Kngirreer-in-Chief of the Navy. He- says
that this is not the time to- entertain the
suggestion that a separate engineer corpa
should again be created- He quotes an
expression of President Roosevelt, when
Assistant Secretary of- the Navy, "Every
anrcerj on. modem warship, has. to, be
a; lighting engineer," in support of his
urgent recommendation that the youns
candidates of Annapolis be not allowed to
SDoclallze altogether in other directions,
hut that they be assigned in their pro
portions to the engineering department.
He says it must eithe? come to this or the
warrant officers, upon whom are falling-
'all engineering duties, must receive com
missioned rank. Admiral Melville declares
that the number of trained, and expert
naval engineers, Is being reduced steadily,
and the reduction is certain to become
more rapfld as the old officers, take advan
tage of the retirement laws.
He points to the disablement of torpedo
boats as a striking- rcsutt, of the lack of
engineers, for these- boats have no com
missioned engineers. On the other hand,
he proudly calls attention to the over
taking of the 20rknot Colon by the 16-knot
Oregon as an eajimple of what can be ac
complished, by trained and educated engi
neer officers Therefore, he advises that
a largse- number of junior ofScers be sent
to the navy-yards for practical engineer
training".; that a post-graduate engineering
course be established, at Annapolis; that
stokers be specially trained; that torpedo
boats be used to train machinists; that
naval machinists be given special Instruc
tions on repair work at navy-yards; that
deserving naval machinists,, after 29 years'
service, be given navy-yard duty; thai;
warrant machinist? be placed on the same
footing: as other warrant officers, and that
special pay be allowed water-tenders of
torpedD-boots.
The Engineer-ln-Chief asks for a new
building at Annapolis and. an appropria
tion of 5150,000 for experimental work.
Hackett TVill Resign.

PORTLAND BOY CUTS A DASH
His Gay Bohemian Life Ends His Ca
rer In Columbia University.
NEW YORK, Oct. IS. John EvartsStltt,
a freshman at Columbia University, left
for his home in Portland, Or., tonight. He
came here early in the year and cut a
wide swath among the students. He was
soon renowned as disregarding not only
the rules of the university, but also of the
sophomores and the upper classmen, and
was given the title of "Plunger." Suppers
and parties given by the Portlander at
tracted attention outside of the univer
sity. He bad a great fondness for Thespians-
He was elected honorary member
of several theatrical clubs. He had as
guests those prominent in theatrical cir
cles, especially Anna Held, Fay Temple
ton and other stars In the burlesque and
comic-opera world. Flowers and diamonds
tit for Princesses are said by students to
have been distributed at these feasts.
Walter Graham, a fellow-student, says he
spent flOiOOO in a few months. The other
day the College Tavern, a well-known
"varsity inn, was wrecked by a body of
students, on account of an undesirable
crowd of laborers in there. Stitt was Iden
tified as the ringleader. The faculty In
vestigated the case and finally gave Stitt
a private tip that he was too wealthy for
Columbia. So he packed up and said to
night at a -parting banquet: ,
"I've had a great time; but 'New York
is too slow. I guess I'm better off
the governor's office in Portland, so good
bye."
Stitt paid all damages and left with the
best of feeling toward the college, hut the
theatrical world shed tears.
A Speedy Automobile.
NEW YORK, Oct 18. According to the
Tribune, a contract has been awarded In
this city for an automobile, conditional
upon the machine being able to make 70
miles an hour over a level road. If this
speed can be attained the price for the
auto completed is to- be $20,000. Among
those who are said to be interested in the
experiment are Lewis Nixon, G. H. Ken

message from the Scorpion to the Brook
lyn, May 19, .as he was feolng from Keyi
West to Cienfuego9. The witness repuea:
"Yes, sir. That morning I was op watch
on the after bridge of the Brooklyn. We
t sighted three ships hound for Key West.
one of which was. a converted yacht. The
Scorpion left the column and went over
toward the yacht and communicated with
her. The Scorpion, came back and commu
nicated a megaphone message to the
Brooklyn. The substance of this message
was that the Nashville was returning to
Key West, broken down, that the Cincin
nati and Vesuvius, were patrolling Yuca
tan Channel,, and that Captain McCalla
reported that he had not seen the Span
lards at; Cienfuegos."
Relating his experiences during the voy
age from, Cienfuegos to Santiago, he said:
"It was the roughest weather we had
had since I had been on the Brooklyn.
The ship had more motlonthan I had ever
seen her have. It was "a short, heavy
head sea."
The witness placed the distance of the
blockading line at Santiago at from thrcfc
and one-half to five miles from shore,
saying that he had. been watch officer and
had made close qbservatlons. .There were
picket-boats on the, Inside of the line.
At this point the court took a recess for
luncheon.
Mr. Cronan continued his testimony at
the opening of the afternoon session. He
related the details of the battle of July 3
and described the turn of the Brooklyn.
He observed, he said, that the first ship
appeared to be heading toward the Brook
lyn, creating the impression that either
she meant to ram the Brooklyn qr the
Brooklyn to ram her.. This contingency,
however,, was averted by bot.h the Brook
lyn and the Spanish ships putting the
helm to port. In reply to a question by
the court, Mr. Cronan said that, so far
as- he knew, neither the Eagle- nor the
Yixen had made any signal requesting the
squadron tq slow dQwn on the cruise
from Cienfuegos to Santiago.
Brooklyn Struck Thirty Tims.
When Mr. Cronan was excused, George
1L Warford, who was carpenter on the
Brooklyn, was. called. Describing the bat
tle of July 3 he said that early In the
action the order was passed by a marine
orderly, MBtand by to ram." jle also said
that later and during; the chase, he had
seen the Yizcaya turn as If to ram the
Brooklyn before, the former W6nt ashore.
He said he had made a personal exam
ination of the Brooklyn, after the battle
and had found that she had been struck
30 times. Mr. Warford said that Commo
dore Schley's conduct, and bearing during
the battle were that of a fearless officer.
He said that during- the engagement the
turning tank of the Brooklyn iilled with
water.
J. L. Hunly, who was chief; machinist
on the Texas during the battle of July 3,
was then called. He said that during the
engagement he had been on duty at the
throttle of the port engine. He said, In
response to a question by Mr. Raynor,
that he knew Alfred Claxton, who had
previously testified that on the day of the
battle he was standing at the throttle of
the port engine.
"Is that correct?" asked Mr. Raynor,
quoting Claxton's testimony.
"No, sir," the witness replied.
"Was the port engine of .the Texas
either stopped or backed?"
"No, sir.."
"Was. it slowed down?"
"Slowed down, yes sir."
After cross-examination, during which
Mr. Raynor and Captain Lemly had a
sharp passage-at-arms over questions
asked the witness,, which Captain Lemly
oc-jected to, Mr. Hunly was excused and
Lieutenant J. P. J. Ryan, who. was assist
ant engineer on the Brooklyn, was intro
duced. Describing the battle- off: Santiago,
the witness said;
I passed rarrges front Yeoman Ellis Into
the forward turret until Ellis was killed.
Those ranges varied. The last range 1
made a mistake In passing. I thought h
said 700, when be said 1100- yards."
"Were you present when Elis was
killed?"
"Yes, sir. I was standing alongside ot
him. A shell from what I thought was
the Colon struck him in the face and took
his head off. We attempted at 8ret to
drop his body overboard, on account of the
blood on the deek, but the Commodore
said to carry him aft; not to throw him
overboard, and that he should be buried
on the land.'v
"Did you see Commodore Schley about
that time?"
"All the time."
"What was- his manner and bearing as
it impressed you?"
"Admirable, I thought."
"Was his position one of danger?"
"His position was on a little bridge
built around the conning tower, and he
was. on the fighting side of the. ship al
the time, as far as I could see."
"Was that an exposed position?"
"All the time."
Schley's Secretary Called,
Whep Lieutenant Ryan had concluded,
Lieutenant B. W. Wells, Jr., who was
Commodore Schley's flag lieutenant dur-
lng the Cuban campaign, was called. Com
ing to tne Domnarament or tna coion,
May 31, the witness undertook to quote
from memory a publication by the Navy
Department which had, he aaid, given him
I the impression that the land batteries
there were manned by large guns. Cap
tain Lemly objected, saying the publica
tion itself should be produced, Some con
troversy between counsel ensued and Mr
Raynor poke of the objection as a mere
frivolity. To thl9s Captain Lemly re-
sponded:
"I object to this criticism. Counsel has
I been repeatedly criticising and throwing
slurs on the ameers of the court. I beg
that it be stopped. It 1? unbecomlnsr in
f a court.of this character It Is extremely
unusual. May It please the court, we are
making history here. How will these
things read In history, even If they do
come from the Attorney-General of the
great State of Maryland. They are un
worthy of a, court pC the dignity which
this court possesses, it has nQt qeen done
oqc.e, bvt repeatedly."
Mr. Hanna Indorsed this, statement, but
Mr. Raynor made no response, merely ask
ing the witness to omit the reference to
the publication and proceed, upon Captain
Lemly's assurance that the original would
be produced.
Referring to the engagement of May 31,
Lieutenant Wells said he had gone aboard
the Massachusetts with Commodore
Schley. He had heard orders given to the
New Orleans to fire on the shore bat
teries. Continuing, he said:
"I saw during this action a number of
discharges of smokeless powder from the
slope to the westward of the entrance.
Several shells passed over us and dropped
near us. Commodore Schley, at that time,
made a number of joking remarks about
some of us dodging. I don't think he
dodged. He seemed to me at that time to
be wholly self-possessed and without any
perturbation."
"Was he laboring under any mental ex
citement at that time?"
"None at all that I could see. He was in
a very natural frame of mind."
The "Dear Schley" Letter.
Mr. Raynor questioned the witness at
considerable length concerning the receipt
of dispatches while the flying squadron lay
off Cienfuegos, and also after ft had ar
rived off Santiago. He first directed the
Witness' attention tp dispatch No. 7,
known as the "Dear Schley" letter, and
elicited from him the statement that two
copies of the dispatch had been received,
the first on May 23, and the second on the
24th.
With reference to the McCalla memo
randum, saying that a good landing plare
could be found 13 miles west of Clenfue.
gos, it was shown that it had been re
ceived at 8:15 P. M., May 15, and thv
witness said that when the Hawk arrived
at that time he thQught the memoran.
dum had not been received- until then.
No. 8, a dispatch from Admiral Sampson
saying that the Spanish squadron nrobably
was at Santiago, and directing Admiral
Schley to proceed there with all dispatch,
If he found that the Spaniards were not at
Cienfuegos, was referred ta, and it yjbs
shown that, according to the receiving
stamp Imprint, Jt had been received at
ti:15 P. M., May 23, and that another copy
had been received' the following day
While the McCalla memorandum Was un
der discussion Lieutenant Well? stated
that but one copy of U was received. Lieu-
tenant Weils said he did not know what
had become of Commodore Schley's pa
pers. He said they were all boxed up
when ho left the Brooklyn and turned ov
to him.
Mr. Raynor aleo questioned the wltnesp
concerning the visits of Admiral (then
Captain) Cotton to the Brooklyn. May 29
and 30. Admiral Cotton was then in com
mand or the Harvard, and the dispatch
which h had taken aboard the flagship
was presented and read, This dispatch
was from Admiral Sampson and was di
rected to Captain Cotton. Another dis
patch which was presented while Admiral
Cotton was on the stand also was read by
Mr. Raynor. It likewise was from Samp
son to "Cotton and was as follows:
'The Spanish squadron at Santiago. r
previous to May 19, scout off Santiago.
Communicate with Schley If he (they)
moved west. Schley is expected, May 14,
at Santiago from Cienfuegos, Cuba, Tele,
graph me from Nicholas Mole to Key
West if he (they) move east, and leave
letter for Schley; then go off Santiago to
meet him." etc.
In response to questions by Mr. Raynor.
the witness said that he did not remem
ber the receipt of this last dispatch on
board the Brooklyn.
Reports at Glenfnesos.
Going back to tho stay at Cienfuegos,
Mr. Raynor questioned the witness "with
a view of eliciting explicit information as
to the time of, the Eagle's definite report
io Aamirai aenjey tnat tne Spanish neet
was not in Cienfuegos. In reply, Lieuten
ant Weljs said:
It was during the afternoon some time, -I
should say about 4:30 or 3 o'clock."
''What was the time between the re
ceipt of this message and the time you
set sail for Santiago?"
"We prepared several letters or dis.
patohes to Admiral Sampson, I believe,
and to the department, if I am not mis
taken, and when they were finished, the
Dupont left some time along about "
o'clock. It was shortly after that the
squadron stood out to the southward."
"When d'd you first distinctly find out.
where the Spanish squadron was?"
"When we saw the Colon at the entrance
to the harbor of Santiago, on May 9."
"Did you hear Commodore Schley say
at any time anything ip reference to the
con&picuousness of his uniform at the
time of hia reconnoissance?"
"No, sir, I do not recall any such re
mark." t
"What have you to say In reference to
a statement that he topk refuge behind
the conning tower during the time of tho
reconnoissance? Did you see him suffi
ciently to enable you to speak on that?''
"I was In his immediate vlqlnlty during
the entire reconnoissance. I recall that
he certainly did nqt take refuge, as you
express it, behind the conning tower. He
was at different points about the coqnlng
tower, Jn the turret, one side, or tlje other,
quite indifferently, apparently."
"Have you a personal recollection of any
signal, 'Don't go in any closer,' without
consulting the signal record book?"
"I do not-see how such a signal could
have been, made. No shp could go In
without permission of the Commodore, op
that occasion,"
At this point Mr. Raynor stated tp the
court that he desired to interrogate. Mr.
Wells with reference to the battle of July
3; but that as the hour qf adjournment
was approaching, he would not have time
to conclude, his examination of the witness
upon' this branch of the inquiry. He there
fore asked to be allowed to postpone fur
ther questions until the next session of tha
court.
He also requested an adjournment of
the court until next Monday. Both rcr
quests were granted and the court ad
journea untij n o'-clock Monday next.

evening session of the Indian conference.
He said that the moat Important step
taken by his department during the year
was securing the record of Indian births,
marriages and deaths. In working for In
dian reform, grave obstacles were encoun
tered. The Indiscriminate issue of rations,
unwise appropriation of money, and the
leasing of allotments were some of the
obstacles. Another grave obstacle was the
educational policy which prevailed. Not
earning their education, In too many cases
they failed to appreciate t. The Indians
were hardly more self-relfant than they
were a quarter of a century ago. The
time had come to make a vigorous move
to end such guardianship and to throw the
Indians on their own resources.
Other speakers of the evening were Gen
eral Whittlesey, of Washington, who pre
sented an abstract of the forthcoming an
nual report of the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs; Congressman James S. Sherman,
chairman of the committee on Indian af
fairs, and Captain Pratt, of the Carlisle
Indian School, the latter saying he was
in favor of doing away with Indian
schools, including the one at Carlisle, at

PROTEST BY SARATOFF
HE SAYS THE BULGARIAN GOYBRN
ME?T IS SOT TO BLAME. '
But Will Make an "Example o the
Kidnapers of Miss Stone if
They Are Caught.
YIENNA, Oct. 18. According to the
Politlsche Corresponded, M. Saratoff.
Bulgarian Minister of the Interior,- and
ad interim Minister of Foreign Affairs,
addressed a note to Mr. Dickinson, United
States Consul at Constantinople, a few
days ago, in which, after complaining
that the Consul-General had expressed dis
satisfaction with the measures the Bul
garian Government; had taken against the
kidnaper pf Miss Stone, he strongly pro
tested against his government being held
responsible for a crime committed on
Turkish territory, and declared that in
order to guard itself against a serious and
unmerited accusation the Bulgarian Gov
ernment had resolved, should the robber
band try to cross the Bulgarian fron
tier or succeed jn stealing into Bulgaria,
to have it mercilessly pursued and anni
hilated by Bulgarian tropps.
"We wll pot enter Jnto any negotiations
whatever for paying ransom," said M.
Saratoff, "as we do not want precedents
established for the many, robbers Infesting
the neighborhood to turn to Bulgaria
whenever this seems to their advantage.
We are firmly determined to make an ex
ample which will deter robbers repeating
sucm spequlatlons. It will then no longer
be possible to accuse Bulgaria of harbor
ing secret committees which organize
bands for kidnaping foreigners In Turkey
and remove them to Bulgaria, therg peace
fully to enjoy the ransom they extort."
LONDON, Oct, 19. Commenting upon
the statement of the Politlsche Correspon
dqnz regarding the letter from M. Sara
to'ff, the Bulgarjan Mhihter, to Mr. Dick
inson, the Yienna correspondent of the
Standard says:
"It may be regarded as convincing
proof that Bulgaria is shielding the Mace
donian committee and that the Sofia cor
respondents qf the Politlsche Correspon
denz, the Pester-Lloyd and other papers,
were correct when declaring that Mace
donians disguised as Turks had kidnaped
Miss Stone and that a regular game, is
being played by Bulgarian troops on one
side and Turkish troops on the other
side of the frontier, each side trying to
smuggle prisoners oyer the border in order
that the ransom paid by sentimental
Americans may be recovered, as the Bul
garians wish from Turkey, and as the
Turks wish from Bulgaria. The right
course now is not to pay ransom, but to
hold Bulgaria responsible for every hair
of Miss Stone's head. Those who know
the facts see no reason to anticipate any
danger to her life."
WORKING FOR aiSS STONE,
Wife of Rnslan Diplomatic Agent
Takes Up the Case.
NEW YORK, Oct. 18. The correspond
ent at Samakov of the Journal and Adver
tiser cables that paper as follows:
"It Is learned that Mme. Bakmetlew,
wife of the Russian diplomatic agent at
Sofia, formerly :MIbb Beal, of Washington,
has begun energetic work in behalf ot
Miss Stone, and the strong attitude taken
by the German diplomatic agent, because
of the murder of a German traveler, may
hasten the authorities to bring about Miss
Stone's release. - The Bulgarian authori
ties are working hard to prevent the
ransom from being paid pn Bulgarian soil.
Hence Dr. Haskell Js likely to get another
letter, requesting payment of the ransom
on Turkish territory."
Mary Haskell, daughter qf Dr. Henry
C. Haskell, af the Samokov Mission,
cables to the Journal and Advertiser
from Samakov the following details con
cerning the receipt of the communication
from the bandits wfto have Miss Stone
in captivity:
'Into my hands at the dead of night a
brigand delivered the Qiily communication
received from Miss atone since ner ueatn
llke captivity. My father and the whole
family had long been asleep when a ban
dit bearing a letter knocked repeatedly
at my bedroom window. Replying to the
question, 'What do you want?' the brl
gands handed a letter through the half
opened window, concealing his face and
figure. I urged him for information. He
showed me an enormous revolver, oaylng:
'If you look ln my face or make any trou
ble I will blow your brains upon the oppo
site wall.'
'He then directed me to give the letter
Immediately to Dr. Haskell, saying If the
contents should be disclosed to any except
those mentioned my father and his family
would bo put-to death. Again warning
me not to look upon his face, under pen
alty of being shot, the well-dressed bri
gand departed. The letter was addressed
to my father. Upon the envelope were
the words, 'To be delivered at once.' I
tore open the envelope and found a letter
for Treasurer Peet and one for my father,
asking him to deliver the letter. I opened
the letter because It was a blackmailing
epistle, similar to those sent to other
members of the mission, demanding that
money be placed at certain remote places
uppn fixed dates, under penalty of death.
Both letters were written in Bulgarian,"
Internntlqnal Questions Involvciit
LONDON, Oct. 18. The Globe this after
noon says It fear that tho safety of Miss
Ellen M. Stone is seriously compromised
by the attitude of Consul-General Dick
inson In refusing to pay the ransom and
ln demanding that Bulgaria arrest the
leaders of the Macedonian Committee as
the real authors of the missionary's ab
duction. The paper says the situation con
tains all the factors of a grave Interna
tional complication and threatens to as
sume importance far beyond the person
ality of any individual missionary.
Dickinson Ik Blamed.
LONDON, Oct. 19. "Four thousand
Bulgarian and Turkish troops have beon
ocoupled in the effort to obtain MJss
Stone's release,'1 says a dispatch from
Sofia to the Morning Leader. !It Is be
lieved here that her release would have
been effected but for Mr. Dickinson's re
fusal to offer her captors more than an
ordinary pour bolre. Mr. Dickinson's ex
traordinary action is regarded as sui
cidal. A large sum must be paid to the
brigands, as otherwise Miss Stone's life
will be sacrificed. If Mr. Dickinson de
sires vengeance on the brigands, the
woman must be ransomed first."
A Turkish Version.
LONDON. Oct. 19. "An extraordinary
version of the Stone abduction comes to
day from Constantinople," says a dispatch
from Vienna to the Dally Telegraph. "It
la declared in Turkish official circles that
MIbs Stpne sympathizes with the Mace
donian committee and herself agreed to
the kidnaping so that ransom would be
paid to the committee. Comment upon
this story is quite superfluous."

Trunk Full of Jewelry Stolen.
BOSTON, Oct. IS. It is believed that
the trunk containing about ?15,0CO worth of
jewelry which was shipped from Provi
dence for Boston, Septmbcr 2S. by Mar

is thought likely that It was stolen and
taken to some insignificant boarding
bouse, there the contents were' removed,
and perhaps by this time sold by the
thieves. Detectives at work on the case
state they are satisfied that a trunk an
swering the description of the missing one
reached Boston from Providence, and here
all trace of It has been lost. Mr. Spencer,
