of France The Sultan
"Held Up."
In the kidnaping of Ion Perdicaris
and Cromwell Varley. his stepson, the
western world has another splendid
opportunity of learning how backward
It is, says the New York Tribune. De
spite all the boasts of occidental civili
sation, all Its vaunts of having mas-
tered the various arts, it has never re
duced the industry of kidnaping to
such scientific principles as has the
oriental.
The easterner is willing to put capi
tal Into the business and conduct it
much as a westerner would a commer
cial .enterprise. He hires a big staff
of rascals, captures a prince of blood
or of wealth, or perchance a mission
ary, and waits for some prosperous
nation to raise the price of a palace
tor a ransom. Indeed, kidnaper is too
mean a word for the oriental. Call him
rather by the title be has himself af
fected, "His Highness the Detainer."
The brigands of Morocco, like their
cousins in eastern Europe, have waxed
wealthy in many exploits closely re
sembling their last achievement Rai
suli, the leader of the band who swoop
ed down on Perdicaris in his castle
home near Tangier and who hastened
away with his American prisoner to
the neighboring mountain fastnesses,
has a long record. Some years ago be
fcecame so bold as to attempt to cap

d his men at a certain turn of the
chief boulevard of Fez, where the
rater, was wont to take evening tours
In his newly Imported automobile. All
would have gone well had liis retainers
known more about gasoline engines. At
the given signal they leaped into the
roadway and leveled their guns at the
chauffeur, who involuntarily brought
the machine to a stop. But the engine
till kept pounding away with an occa
sions! spH and sputter till some caitiff,
overcome with terror, shouted out:
"He's got the devil locked up in
thereC'
Headlong the brigands fled from
what they actually believed was a
"devil wagon."
Officials in Washington in studying
the capture of Mr. Perdicaris came to
the -conclusion that the successful ab

were carried off by Bulgarian brigands
In the fall of 1901, and for six months
the Christian world was kept in sus
pense. After capturing their two vic
tims at Bansko the kidnapers hastened
from Macedonia into Bulgaria, where,
as Miss Stone told afterward, the whole
population seemed in league with the
conspirators. As long as they remain
ed In the mountains of Gueltepe the
raptors seemed as much at ease as if
a an Invulnerable fortress.
Tke unwisdom of hurrying a Moslem
kidnaper has been Illustrated again
and again and often tragically. As
aooa as Mr. Dickinson, the United
IRar consul at Constantinople, learn
ed Where Miss Stone was secreted and
Bulgarian troops were dispatched to
leacitf her the brigands decided to slay
the two women. Finally milder sen'.i
meats prevailed, and instead the pris
oners were hurried away through a
bitter snowstorm to a new rendezvous.

ewever, could not abide such a poll-

Fir much the same reason, therefore, ,

drew his soldiers from the territory
where the brigands concealed Mr. Per
dicaris. Despite all the Italian government Is
doli)- to restore law and order in Sici
ly, there are many parts of that island
in which the kidnaper has supreme
sway. He is so feared by the peas
ants that be goes and comes unmolest
ed, and he makes his chief living by
capturing too adventurous foreigners,
wbo wind up their tours of sightseeing
in his camp. Now and then one of these
kidnapers will venture near a large
city, and by means of a grotesque ruse
he will generally succeed in wresting a
ransom from some rich landowner.
A Sicilian woman, for instance, who
owns a large estate near Palermo, fell
a victim to such a plot not long ago.
She awoke in the middle of the night
to hear some one calling her name. It
w;:s the voice of her husband, she
thought, who had told her that morn
ing he intended to stay overnight in
town. In the belief that he had i hang
d bis mind and had returned borne to
find the outer door locked, she ventnred
down to the porch herself, where she
was suddenly caught, gagged and car
ried off. The husband promptly de
posited RXI.000 in an urn In the garden.
as the brigands had requested. With
out molestatioa the kidnapers returned
their captive.
Before Europe was convulsed with
that series of social revolutions which
ended in the establishment of the first
French republic there was an era
when kidnaping was as prevalent as
is automobiling today. A child of
wealth was never permitted to leave
the house unless under guard, like some
miniature czar. Men and women were
in equal danger, and if a husband fail
ed to return at night the wife naturally
concluded that he had been kidnaped.
Conspirators were ever rubbing beads
over plots to abduct princes, so that
the ransom paid should make them In
dependent of the vicissitudes of their
profession for the rest of their lives.
It was in this uncertain epoch, in the
year 17is. that an attempt was made
to carry off the dauphin of France and
to hold him for $3 W.OOO ransom. It
was known that each night the heir
to the French throne passed over the j
bridge oY Sevres on bis way home
tars, an after dinner drive. Some
Huguenqt refugees accordingly, who
had tecoiue officers in the Dutch army,
assembled secretly at Courtrai and
from there, under cover of darkness,
crept into the shadow of the bridge.
Before long a state carriage came rum
bling toward them, and In the dusk
they thought they saw the royal arms
and uniforms. In a trice they had
stopied the coach, dragged out Its oc
cupant and had carried him off as fast
as their horses could run toward Hol
land. They had hardly reached the
boundary line, however, when they dis
covered to their profound disgust that
their victim was only the Marquis de

It seems that the dauphin had follow-
j ed an hour later with no escorts and
no guards.
An attempt which was made seven
years later to kidnap tbe pretender to
j the crown of England proved abortive
I through the sagacity of a woman.
: Colonel Douglas, head of an Irish regi

soldiers, went to the posthouse at No

past But Mme. Lospital, tbe tavern
; mistress, suspecting that something
wrong was likely to happen, decided
that the soldiers could do less harm
drunk than sober, and accordingly jshe

By the time the pretender came by the
three soldiers lay outstretched on the
floor of the cellar. Colonel Douglas

HEROIC COMMANDERS
GENERALS OYAMA, KUROKI, NO02U,
OKU AND NOGI.
Th. Five Ilea Who Command tke
Armies of Jape In Muck aria.
Marshal Oyww an.i J4i Grim Seue
of Doty Kurolti and Uraat.
Field Marshal Oyauia and his asso
c'atcs, Kuroki, Oku and Nodzu, in com
' land of the three armies which con
r; ed upon the Russians at Llaoyang
ud forced them to leave the base they
had fortified so strongly and stocked so
well with supplies, are Japan's leading
military geniuses In the present war.
Field Marshal Oyama, wbo Is now six
ty-tltree years of age. Is of repulsive
appearance, li s face is deeply marked
by smallpox, and be is short and squat
Vet his countenance, though repellent,
has about It a certain fascination.
Just before the outbreak of the Sat
suma rebellion, beaded by Vigo, Oya
ma had married a beautiful young
woman of his country. The old Japa
nese code commanded that a Japa
nese woman, and especially a noblt
wonr-a must keep herself In seclusion
and i ' duty was particularly urgent
when her husband was absent In war.
While Oyama was away on the battle
field stories came to him that his bride
was disregarding the rules of tbe an
dent code and bringing disgrace upon
herself and the name of her husband
Oyama heard the stories and bore the
taunts of bis companions In alienee.
He would not leave the field of duty
to administer discipline to his errant
wife. When at last tne rebellion had
been crushed and the war was over he
went home. His bride met him at the
threshold of his bouse, prostrate upon
the floor, according to Japanese cus

rise, and together they went within.
She never came out again. What be
came of her only Oyama knows, How
ever, in after y tars he married, again.
this time a countrywoman who bad
lived in America and graduated from
Vassar college, and as customs have
changed in Japan and tbe old code Is
no longer enforced the new wife comes
and goes as she wills, whether her
lord Is at borne or fighting his coun
try's foes.
The commander at Port Arthur, Gen
eral Nogi, Is made of the same stern
stuff as Marshal Oyama. Whan he
was starting for the war he beard of
tbe death of bis eldest son, who bad
been killed In one of the earlier en
gagements of the campaign. He show
ed no sign of emotion and would per
mit no mourning ceremonies by tbe
family, saying that these should be
deferred until be himself and his other
son should fall In battle. That both
would sacrifice themselves In tbe em
peror's cause be took as matter of
course.
General Kuroki has motives for right
lag the Russians with all tbe strength
and energy of his rugged nature be
sides those of devotion to bis emperor.
His father Is said to have been a Pole
who sought refuge in Japan from Rus
sian oppression and married a Japa
nese woman. Tbe exiled father Instill
ed Into his son a burning desire to
avenge the wrongs of the Poles, and
now be has bis chance. General Euro
ki is as fond of his cigar as General
Grant was. It is rare Indeed that be Is
seen without a cigar In his mouth. On
the battlefield be shows the same in
difference to danger and absolute com
mand of himself that were characteris
tic of General -Grant
General Mishlzurn Nodzu was sent
by his government to America to visit
tbe Centennial exhibition In 1876. He
is the man who is said to have practi
cally decided tbe result of the Chlno
Japanese war In favor of his country
men by his capture of Plngyang, tbe
strongest place In Korea, defended by
tbe pick of the modern drilled Chi uese
troops. After desperate fighting he took

General Oku, who commands tbe Sec
ond army, led bis soldiers In the now
famous charge on Nanshan bill last
June. He won his first fame In tbe
Satsnoia rebellion and distinguished
himself in the war with China.

Wants everythlns cut to his mold.

For bloody and relentless slaughter
that would shame the meat trust and
knock the skillful padding out of a

mor. When two nations are at war
with each other and the outposts are
taking an occasional shot at tbe scen

rusty the unconfirmed rumor steps In,
and there Is something doing from one
end of the cable line to the other.
It goes forth before breakfast and
lightly kills off 10,000 or 20.000. just
as tbe humor seizes it, and that Is only
a starter on its day's work. It is Just
as easy for It to kill off a regiment as
a company, and sometimes when It
feels that the world's supply of shocks
Is running low will wipe out a division
and never turn a hair or shed a tear.
But It has a beautiful system of
economy, for It can use the same men
over and over again, and they will not
be one bit the worse for wear.
No nation that contemplates going
to war should fall to stock up on tin
confirmed rumors If It would use the
latest and deadliest of weapons.
