MACEDoNIANs GUILTY.

London. Oct. 21.-The idea that the capture of Miss Stone originated with the Macedonian committee is corrob- orated, according to the Vienna cor respondent of the Mail, by the fact that numerous Macedonians in Sofia have offered to mediate with the brigands.
 A rumor emanating from a Bulgar- ina source. is that Miss Stone is hidden in Villayet, Salonika, is regarded as very improbable. says the Sofia cor respondent of the Telegraph. Charles Dickinson, United States consul gen eral at Constantinople is still firmly convinced of the complicity of the Macedonian committee. In missionary circles the view is favored that when the ransom is paid the brigands will also be granted amnesty and that all records of the agreement with the band will be cancelled

Washington, Oct. 21.-Lieutcnant E. w. Wells. Jr.. who was flag lieutenant of Admiral Schley while the latter was fin command of the flying squadron, occupied practically the entire time of the Schley court of inquiry today. On direct examination he continued his narrative of the Cuban campaign. Lieutenant Wells was under cross eX- animation for two hours and a half. largely at the hands of MT. Hanna. whose questions were directed mainly to the dispatches sent and received by Schley.
 While this line of examination was being exploited MT. Raynor. speaking for Schley. said the admiral was will ing to admit that he received the Dear Schley'' letter on the Dupont. which arrived at Cienfuegos. May 22, but he added that no duplication of this dispatch was ever received by Schley.

BUTTS NARROW ESCAPE
The Territory Took Fatal Preeau-
 tion Against H,m.

The very interesting case of the ter ritory against Orea Suits was tried in district court yesterday. Butts is a young man who was arrested last sum mer charged with the stealing of a sum of money from Charles Sellers. with whom he had been working on the ranch of D. D. Morning. The money. consisting of five bills. four of which were national bank notes and the oth- CT a silver certificate, were taken from a trunk. Butts was immediately sus- pected and was arrested a couple of days later. The search was greatly aided by the methodical habits of Sci fers, who is one man in a million. He had for years been in the habit .f keeping in a diary. along with other momentous events of his career, the numbers and general description of all notes and bills that ever came into his possession. He was therefore able to inform the authorities all about the lost money. even to the names of the national banks which had issued the notes. They were traced with consid- erable case through stores at whicn it was learned that Butts had done business after the theft of the money. All the bills were found and Butts was bound over to the grand jury notwith standing the objection of the defense to the complaint on the ground that one thing had been charged in it. while another had been proved. The words lawful money of the United States" which followed d description of the lost bills, it was contended, con stituted an unnecessary and fatal pre- caution, since it had been proven that no money of that description had been stolen.
 Butts was indicted by the grand jury the same proof which had been brought against him in the justices court. After all the evidence for the prosecution was put in yesterday, Messrs. Bullard and Alexander, the defendants attorneys, renewed their old objection and backed it by several decisions. one of which in precisely the same kind of a case had been handed down by the supreme court of Texas.
 Judge Street told the jury that what ever the popular understanding of the meaning of lawful money of the United States" national bank notes were not lawful money. It was essen tial in all cases that there .should be an intimate relation between allegation and proof: that it was principle that the defendant should know precisely what he is charged with. In this case such a precise knowledge had not been afforded him. The jury was therefore directed to bring in d verdict of not

COPPER AGAIN WEAK
Another Drive Against the
 Stock Yesterday
One Reason Said to Be That the Production is Certainly Outstripp- ing the Demand Standard Oil Another Reason.

New York, Oct. 21.-Renewed weak ness in Amalgamated copper stock to- day was said to be due to the reports that the Standard Oil interests were again reducing their holdings materi- was not keeping pace with the produc- tion. The old sores between the Amal- gamated Copper company and the Heinzes were again exposed, but there is d feeling in some quarters that be- fore long something will happen which will show that the conflicting interests are not as far apart as many have supposed.
 So far, however. relations between the big company and its Montana riv- als do not appear to be tranquil. As far as can be learned no progress has been made toward a reconciliation of the Amalgamated and the Heinze in terests. Judging from appearance and the statement of Mir. Heinze himself they are farther apart than ever Suits to the number of 12o are still pending Litigation is assuming wider and more complicated range.
 More than $50. GOO, 900. it is said. is now tied up as the result of the war. No proposition has recently been made by the Heinzes to sell their properties. The Amalgamated company has not of fered to buy out it's rivals. F. A. HeinZe renews his declaration that he will ultimately get his price for his properties, and the company answers that so long as he wants about three dollars for one the company will never pay the three. Still. it is known that the rival interests really desire a ces- sation of hostilities.
 Arthur P Heinze today dacla rcd .bat f the big decline in copper was not due to fear of any reduction in the price of the product, but was the natural re- suit of over-cap apitalization and the sell ing out of men whose financial emi- hence had kept the stock up to an un- warrantably high price. He also de- clared that Mir. Lawson's reported loss or Sf,OOO,OOO during the recent break was well understood by the operators and by the street generally.
 Referring to the arrest of the presi- dent of the Delaware Surety company last week, MT. Heinze said that it would be conclusively proved that the arrest was without just cause and that the allegations upon which the arrest was made were false.
 At the time" said MT. Heinze. that the arrest was made the company had on hand Si5O.OO0 of first mortgage bonds of the Ripper Consolidated Cop per company, s35O.0OO cash deposited with the supreme court of Montana and S1.201,S15 cash on deposit with the Commercial Trust company of New Jersey, which is a depository for the Delaware Surety company. The treas urer of the surety company has said that in May of this year the assets of the company amounted to s1,99S. .o00.''

 The grand jury was in session un- til four o'clock, but made no report. One case was resubmitted to it for a curious reason. An indictment had been found. but on the back of it when it was sent into court appeared the names of the witnesses in another case.
 The bail of P. D. Robbins, appealed from the recorders court, was declared forfeited. The case of Jack Leroy, from the same court, was taken up. and an attack was made on the record. but the whole matter went over un- til today. The cases of Peralta ani Verdugo were set for trial tomorrow.
