CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec 2. The latest Information regarding Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary, and Mme. Tsllka, her companion. Indicates that their condition has been so far ame liorated that they are able to obtain rude comforts. It Is even said that the brigands are now complaining that Miss Stone is attempting to convert them to Christian ity. Whilo recognizing the illegality of the abduction of Miss Stone and Mme. Tsllka. the brigands contend that their ac tion was In the Interest of a sacred cause, and therefore justifiable. The brigands apparently are prepared to hold out all Winter. They refuse to abate their de mands one dollar, and have not vouch safed a reply to Mr. Dickinson's ulti matum to the effect that they must ac cept his last offer or nothing.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. The Senate committee on isthmian canal today au thorized a favorable report on Senator Morgan's bill providing for the acquisi tion from Nicaragua and Costa Rica of the right of way via the Nicaragua route. Senator Morgan later presented this re port to the Senate, accompanying the re turn of the bill with a report on the sub ject of a canal across the isthmus. Action on the bill providing for the construction of the canal was deferred. Senator Morgan's report deals with many questions connected with the con struction of the canal. Including a thor ough Inquiry Into the attitude of Great Britain upon the subject and the differ ent canal routes. He also discussed the relationship or the Panama Canal Com pany to the construction by the United States of a waterway across the Isthmus, and while he makes reference to a letter written by President Hutln, of the Pana ma Canal Company, to Secretary of State Hay, he does not give the text of the communication. Mr. Morgan says the let ter to Secretary Hay was dated Novem ber 22, and that it was written after Ad miral Walker, as president of the commis sion, had closed his correspondence with M. Hutln, relating to the sale of the Panama Canal. He then adds. "The letter to Mr. Hay, with the ap pendices thereto and the memoranda that accompany It, is an attack on the presi dent of the commission, replete with false assumptions and perversions of facts, and Is evidently Intended to create a side is sue, the debate upon which, it is hoped by M. Hutln, will delay, if It does not defeat, the final action of Congress in providing for the construction of any canal. "This proceeding and the placing of this correspondence In the hands of the Presi dent of the United States by M. Hutln. with a request that it be communicated to Congress, Is but a continuation of the presumptuous and offensive proposi tion previously made by the Panama Canal Company. This company. In a previous administration, had succeeded In obtaining the resignation of a Secretary of the Navy to accept a nominal position in their service at a large salary, and expended 51.500,000 in New York, chiefly In acquiring the aid of leading business houses In promoting the De Lesseps. plan, without a dollar of stock being subscrlocd in that company. "The desperate financial straits of the new Panama Canal Company compelled them to make overtures to the United States to unload their enterprise on the United States, and their agents became accordingly aggressive in this effort." The report then proceeds to quote a number of communications from M. Hu tln and his attorneys to officers of this Government In 1E99 and 1900, which have heretofore been printed. After quoting a letter from Sullivan & Cronwell. attor neys for the Panama Company, directed to the President, and dated April 30, 1900. in which they ask the President to ad vise Congress of the attitude of the Pan ama Company, the report says: "The manifest purpose of this company to Interfere will", legislation bv asking Sterling Silver Hair Broshes Jewelry J THE LATEST WORK.... the President to Inform Congress of a state of facts, as alleged, of which Con gress Is 'presumably without knowledge,' is an Insult to the Intelligence of Con gress. It is an Insolent invitation to the President to control the action .of Con gress so that It shall not act upon bills reported by committees In both Houses." Senator Morgan again refers to the let ter to Secretary Hay of last November, saying that M. Hutln previously had made an unmistakable proposal to sell the Pari ama property to the United States, and adding. "Yet M. Hutln. In his correspondence wit Admiral Walker and his letter and the accompanying 'memorandum' sent to Mr. Hay, first assumes and then states and argues and finally Insists that the United States offered to purchase their property, and that when the company agreed to sell It, the Isthmian Canal Commlasun refused to Inter Into a scheme of arbitration to ascertain the value of It. He Imputes bad faith to the commission and severely criticises their dealing with the canal company." The search for Defaulter Fleishman has not yet resulted In any definite clew that would lead to his capture. Word has come from El Paso, Tex., that on Sunday morning a passenger giving his name aa N. T. Myers got off the Sunset Limited, which left California Saturday morning, and bought a ticket from El Paso to Guadalajara. Mexico. His descrip tion tallies almost exactly with that of Fleishman. The police, however, doubt that the man was Fleishman, on account of strong evidence that Fleishman was In Los Angeles on Saturday. Fleishman, who Is 33 years of age, came here from New York when a boy, and, being a second cousin of the Hellmans, the principal owners of the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank, profited by the social and business connections. Ke rose from a minor clerical place to the respon sible post of cashier of the bank, and did much of the confidential work and negotiated many of the bank's loans and business deals. HIb employer thinks there was a woman In the case, as he was a man of good habits. He had been married, but was divorced several years ago. Proceeding, the report says that Ad miral Walker did nothing more than ask legitimate questions of M. Hutln, and that there was in them no intimation of a proposition to purchase. In this con nection, Admiral Walker's letter of Octo ber 22 last to M. Hutin Is published, and of this Senator Morgan says that "it ut terly breaks down the pretension of M. Hutln that the United States, through Admiral Walker, was engaged In the ef fort to purchase tho property of the Pan ama Canal." He adds that this letter dispels every possible criticism of Ad miral Walker and the commission of which he la president. This letter the report accuses M. Hutln of falling to send to the President. The conclusion with reference to this point of the controversy Is set forth In the following language: "The motive for this unseemly and un precedented misconduct must be either that this canal company Is desperate in its purpose to unload Its property upon the United States, because the French stock holders hive lost faith In its success, or that it is endeavoring to prevent the completion of any canal with Its Panama Railroad, the shares of which it values at 5300, the face value being 5100 per share, on account of Its enormous earn ings." Tho Introductory pages of the report contain a general review of the Impor tance of the construction of an isthmian canal, and In the second paragraph, of the report it la declared that the failure to accomplish this work would create a feeling of National despair. Contending for the Importance of the enterprise, Sen ator Morgan urges that no nation nor any combination of private interests can have any right to prevent its consumma tion. "There remains," he said, "but one bar rier to the union of the Atlantic and Pa cific Oceans and no one nation has the ' right to- declare that It never shall be re moved except with its consent." He attributes the failure to construct the canal in the past to the attitude of other nations, saying: "For the past 50 years the power and Influence of the British Government, aided by combination? In the United States and France, has defeated all efforts to open an American Isthmian canal. An antag onism which was an Imperial policy of Great Britain in the beginning has be come a plan for gathering wealth by levy ing tolls upon the commerce of America, and its strength of purpose will increase until some more powerful and just In ducement will lead Great Britain to relax her grasp and permit us to take care of our country.. The combinations at heme and In France that have assisted In sup pressing the demands of our Industrial classes for a canal to connect the great oceans nre chiefly the transcontinental railways in Canada and in Panama and those in the United State:, eight great corporations that now control almost the entire transportation service between the oceans that wash the coasts of the West ern Hemisphere. "The scope and purpose of the Clayton- Bulwer treaty, as It was declared by Lord . John Russell, made It an Instrument of Injustice to Nlcnragua. Costa Rica and other Central American States that has deprived them and all Christendom of the benefits of an American intcroceanic ca- nal for more than a half century. In view of these facts, it is clear that an overruling necessity of imperial, commer cial and military policy connected with her policy as to the Suez Canal forced Toilet Articies .,.vU SB8W-' J eweiry OF THE MOST SKILLED ARTISTS OF THE WORLD. OUT-OF-TOWN ORDERS GIVEN SPECIAL ATTENTION. Great Britain to adhere to the Clayton Btllwer treaty as a means of preventing the construction of a canal through Nica ragua by the United States, while she would continue to hold the vantage ground of occupation and Increasing au thority In the Territories of Nicaragua and Honduras, which she had agreed to abandon. Her Intention to control both canals was then evidently fixed." He asserts that Great Britain's control of the Mosquito coast was used as a pretense to hold us until she had accom plished her great policy relating to the Suez Canal. He contends that Great Britain's policy in the beginning was sim ply a policy of delay and that both pow ers have abandoned the policy of the Clay-ton-Bulwer treaty, of which nothing re mains but "an empty diplomatic technical ity which must yield to the reasonable demands of the United States, Nicaragua and Costa Rica for their own safety and prosperity, and to the demands of the world for a gateway in Nicaragua to cor respond with that offered at Suez." He says that If diplomatic effort to reduce the world's beneficial domination of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty falls, conventions should abrogate It. The major portion of the report was made before the new Hay-Pauncefote treaty had been promulgated, but In an appendix the following reference is made to that treaty: "If two-thirds of the Senate shall con cur with the Government of Great Brit ain in establishing au effective basis on which a canal for ships through the Amer ican isthmus shall be operated for the security and benefit of all nations, such agreement may well be considered as an advanced step In a true civilization, hon orable to both governments and rich In blessings to mankind." UNDER DOWIE'S INFLUENCE Brother-In-Lnvr of the Zionist Tells Hovr He Parted With Ills SXoney. CHICAGO. Dec. 12. Dr. John Alexander Dowle. head of the Christian Catholic Church, was the center of attraction In Judge Tuley's court today, where the con tinuation of the suit for a. receivership for his Zlon lace Industries was being heard. The testimony offered today by Samuel B. Stevenson, Dowle's brother-in-law, was largely on the subject of his courtship of Dowle's sister. He also tes tified that he had not desired to come to America to embark in abuslness venture, but that Dowie had prevailed upon him by glowing descriptions of the wealth to be amassed In the lace Industries. At last, Stevenson said, he was induced by much praying and laying on of hands to invest hi3 capital. Stevenson told many interesting things about a certain mid night meeting with Dowie. Stevenson, long after this meeting took place, was confronted by a signed contract In rela tion to what he should receive for his interests and he now declares the exist ence of the paper was absolutely unknown to him. He objects to Its provisions, as thty arc all favorable to the defendant. SAFEGUARDS NEEDED. Fraternnl Organizations Patting: Members in Peril. Milwaukee Sentinel. The announcement that Charles D. Thompson, supreme treasurer of the Maccabees, has confessed to the defalca tion of 157.000, calls attention to the re cent tendency of officials of fraternal pro tective organizations to divert to personal use the funds entrusted to their care. "Within the last year there have been numerous embezzlements and shortages. The same day that Mr. Thompson's con fession was made public the newspapers contained a mention of the fact that P. J. McGuIre, one of the founders of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, and general sec retary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters, has been charged with breach of trust, his shortage being estimated at $10,000. In the United States there are many large organizations that maintain reserve funds. In most cases the management of these organizations Is carried on In a busl-ness-liKe manner, although as a rule there are few safeguards provided against dis honesty. The funds are trust funds in the broadest sense of the word, the custo dians having great latitude of action. The treasurers are generally elected not on account of special business Qualifications, but because they are popular members of the society they wish to represent. The fact that the direction of the financial affairs of these protective societies is only of secondary business Interest to the of ficials Is one cause for laxity of manage ment. There Is no doubt that In most of these cases of embezzlement or shortage the dlfllcult'es have arisen largely through carelessness or neglect to manage the af fairs nf the organization In a strict and systematic manner. The confusion incident to an attempt to transform fraternal protective associa tions doing business under the assessment rkin into insurance companies, with re serve funds, 13 responsible for a number of tho defalcations reported. Another cause which leads up to the Irregularities Is the accumulation of comparatively large sums from assessments in the hands of the financial officer, because of the size of his Jurisdiction, an entire order being frequently administered by one set of of ficers Thse officers are not selected as arc the boards that control the financial affairs of Insurance companies, nor are proper safeguards thrown around the funds that accumulate in their hands. The fraternal protective associations have accomplished a great work during the last quarter of a century, and they should carefully avoid, so far as they can do so, any movement within their organi zations which has a tendency to weaken the confidence of their prospective mem bers in the financial integrity of their orders or their financial officers. If they would study the laws of the several states regulating the care and Investment of de posits In savings banks, as well as the methods by which Insurance companies safeguard their capital, they would then be enabled to care for their trust funds and Dah THE LATEST WORK....

Jr.. secre lng work for the Edison Electric Com- tary to President Roosevelt, took place pany. The company's power house which at th0 Emmanuel Baptist Church this af supplles elecrlcity for Los Anceles ani ternoon. The ceremony was attended only omer aoutnern uajiiorma towns, is suu- ated at the mouth of the canyon. Above the power house is the flume which con veys the water which furnishes the pow er for generating the electricity. It often , happens that leaves and other flotsam i and Jetsam are brought down the flume to the forebay, whence a vertical pipe carries the Water to the turbine wlu e 3 at the powrr house. 600 or 700 feet below. The suction at the entrance to this pipe is very great, and in order to prevent drift material from getting into it and clogging the pipe a wire screen Is placed over the aperture. Sometimes squirrels and other small an imals are carried down the flume Into the forebay, where they are drowned If they fall to swim out before they are caught by the suction of the pipe and drawn ngalnst the screen, where they are held by tho current until removed by the em ployes of the company. While Mr. Qulnton was at the power house ono of the powerful turbine wheels suddenly came to a standstill. It was sur mised that leaves or other drift had clogged the entrance to the pipe, thus shutting oft the water supply. Qulnton and one of the power house employes went up the canyon to Investigate. The employe thrust his arm into the water of the forebay to scrape the drift on tho screen. But, instead of dead leaves or i other rubbish his hand encountered a j feathery object. He drew It forth and revealed the body of an Immense golden eagle, which had completely clogged tho entrance of the pipe. In the eagle's claws . was the body of a squirrel. In removing the dead animals the squirrel became dis engaged from the eagle's talons and was sucked Into the pipe, from which the screen had been partly removed. It tra versed the length of the pipe and be came lodged In the nozzle at the further end, from which the water Is discharged upon the "agitator" of the electric dyna mo. Once more the wheels came to a stop, the obstruction this time being the body of the squirrel. The task of re moving It was a difficult one. but It was at last accomplished, and the supply of "Juicft" for the valley towns was again restored. The theory In rogard to the drowning of the eagle Is thnt the big bird swooped down upon the squirrel, which It espied In the swim, and was drawn into the whirlpool formed by the suction pipe be fore it could rise from the water with Its prey. As the body of the eagle was In no wise mangled or Its plumage destroyed It was brought to Los Angeles by Mr. Qulnton. who had It mounted by a taxi dermist, and It now graces a pedestal In the office of Olmstead & Qulnton In the Laughlln building.
