TURKISH TROOPS ASKED TO
ABANDON CHASE OF BRI(iANDS
Constantinople, Oct. 12.--In compli-
ance with a request from ~Vashington
the search by Ottoman troops for the
abductom of Miss Stone, the American
missionaxy, has been abandoned, it be-
ing feared that the brigands would kill
/her should they be closely pursued. Ar.
rangements are now being made to pay
.the ransom demanded.
Three battalions of the Sixth Bulgar-
ian infantry regiment marched through
the country between Dubnitza and
Samakoy and searched the villages of
the Riloklosters district, in one of
which it was reported the brigands had
concealed Miss Stone, says a Sofia cor-
respondent. Colonel Gaschof, at the
head of a searching party composed of
300 Bulgarian infantry and 500 dra-
goons, has been scouring the ranges of
Dospat and Rhodopegelbirgen.
The American consul general at Con-
stantinople has arrlved at Sofia with an
Evangelical pastor from Phillipolis as
dragoman, and both are taking ener-
getic steps with the Bulgarian govern-
ment to eff.ect Miss Stone's release.
The reputed leader of the gang who
killed Stambouloff has met his fate.
Suspected of being associated in the
capture of Miss Stone, he was shot
dead on the frontier near Kostendit.
The second appeal is as follows:
"To the People of America--The
prompting of our hea~s compels us to
issue a second urgent appeal to the peo-
ple of America to come to the rescue of
Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American mis-
sio~.ary now held captive by brigands
in the Balkan mountains for a ransom
of $110,000. Nearly one-half of that
sum is yet to be raised.
"Private adviees receiw-'d yesterday
were to the effect that it was absolute-
ly necessary to raise the full ainount at
once. The story of a thirty days' res-
pite is absolutely discredited in the
best-informed circles.
"To-day's ~nformation from Washing-
ton is that the outlook is far from be-
ing so reassuring as was hoped yes-
terday.
"The public should not be deceived
by the idea tt;at the American board,
as such, will pay any of the ransom. It
has officially decl'lred that it could not,
although its members have unanimous-
ly expressed sympathy with the move-
meat.
"Will not pastors, tender-hearted wo-
men, patriotic men and representatives
of commercial and financial activity ev-
erywhere; will not every one aid by
giving and soliciting until the entire

Lord Pauncefote, the British ambas-
sador at Vtashington, celebrated his
seventy-third bil~hday on September
13th.
According to a r~port of the Navy
Department, fair progress was made
on the armored cruiser Colorado and
the protected cruiser Denver during
the past month. The former vessel wan
advanced from five to seven per cent.
toward completion and the latter from
fifty-five to fifty-seven per cent. The
monitor Wyoming still remains seven-
ty-five per cent.
It is recommended by Rear Admiral
Crowninshield, chief of the naviga-
tion bureau, that £our vice admirals be
created, reducing the number of rear
admirals to fourteen, if necessary. It
is said that the United States often
has been in a humiliating position on
impm-tant occasions abroad by reason
of the low rank of its naval represent-
atives. The report closes with an
earnest recommendation for the crea-
tion of a national naval reserve.
It has been determined at the War
Department to send .troops to the Phil-
ippines to take the places of those
whose term of enlistment expires.
Where the re-enlistments are not large
in any one regiment, their places will
be filled by separate detachments of
recruits. If any considerable number
of enlistments expire in a single or-
ganization, it is probable trat the or-
The Georgetown correspondent of a
Denver paper says the tonnage that
will be shipped from Georgetown this
year will far exceed that of any other
recent year, and the increase in pro-
duction that has marked the renewed
activity this season is leading up to
still greater things for 1902. The pa~t
summer has been notable for the num-
ber of new enterprises instituted, and
also for the number of old propesltions
that have again attracted the attention
of mining men who are backed with
sufficient capital, sooner or later adding
them to the long list of steady produc-
e~. Many of them have already en-
countered pay ore in a comparatively
short time.
]Decadence of Leasingo
& Cripple Creek correspondent says
that by actual observance It can be
Istated that there are fewer lessees at
work in the district than at any pre-
vious time in the history of the camp,
and while this fact has been uni-
Iversally attributed to the high royal-
ties demanded, such is not altogether
correct. Royalties are no higher to-
Iday than they were four or five years
ago, when the lessees on Beacon, Ra.
