"FREE SOCIETY,""
caRo Anarchist Sheet, Wants
Ban Removed.

Washington, Oct. 9.-Abraham Izaak,
the publisher of paper in Chicago
called Free Society, formerly the Fire
brand, which was barred from the
mails by the Chicago postmaster last
week, has applied for re=entry of the
publication to the second class. Post
master Coyne forwarded copy of the
paper, containing an article by Emma
Goldman on the assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley, for ruling on the
question of its re-entry to the mails
under any classification. The depart
ment will call for further information
from Postmaster Coyne and probably
will test the subscription list of the
paper by addressing persons on the list
furnished by the publisher and asking
them whether they are actually sub
scribers. This is the usual procedure
il determining a papers eligibility tc
the second-class rates. There is no law
according to the postal officials, under
which paper can be barred merely or

Strong Efforts Being Made to Save

WHAT OUR GOVERNMENT is DOING.
Part of Ransom Money Forwarded
Bulgaria Is Reported to BE
Greatly Aroused Over
the Outrage.

Washington, Oct. 9.-Not since the
successful attempt to save the life of
John Hays Hammond, the American
engineer, implicated in the Jamison
raid, has the state department put
forth such energetic efforts to save a
human life as it is now exerting in
behalf of Miss Stone, the American
missionary, who was captured by Bull
garian bandits. A sum of money has
been forwarded by the agency of the
cable to Spencer Eddy, the United
States secretary of legation, at Con-
stantinople, who has shown remark
able energy and ability in unearth-
ing the ramifications of the plot
which resulted in the kidnapping of
Miss Stone. There is little doubt
that the Turkish government has
done all that it could be expected to
do to run down the bandits and what
is now to be done is to secure similar
action on the part of the Bulgarian
government. and to that end intlu,

cense to the committee as to enable
it to blackmail prominent people in
support of the Macedonian cause.
Consul General Dickinson, when
here on his way to Sofia from Con-
stantinople thought it probable that
if thebrigands understood from head
quarters that the ransom would not
be paid they would release Miss
Stone. as the Macedonian cause would
not be helped by the murder OF the
woman.
Ransom Provided For.
Paris, Oct. "a letter received by
the Havas agency from Salonica, dated
October 4, says:
"The American consul here has Just re-
ceiyed orders to make the arrangements
with the vail (governor) for the payment
of the ransom of Miss Stone. The United
States will advance the money, afterwaro
settling with Turkey.
.tThe Turkish authorities have made
numerous arrests among the. Bulgarian
| population, without distinction of re-
| ligion, and nearly all have been put to tor
| ture in the hope of abstracting informa-
| ton. A prisoner named Dimitri said an I'M
| Outstanding existed between the Protest
| ants and the Macedonian committee ano
that Miss Stone was even acting in con
i cert with them, with the view of obtaining
funds for political-religious propaganda
I These declarations, wrung from Dimitr
under torture, are valueless. What is GER
tain is that the captain of the band desig
mated for the payment of the ransom {

police do not cause him anxiety

THE Ep1scopAL1ANs.
uniting Modified Forms of
Worship Was Lost,

San Francisco, Oct. 9.-The feature
OF Tuesdays sessions of the triennial
Episcopal convention was the recon-
sideration and defeat of what is known
as the Huntington amendment to the
constitution, which was adopted by the
house of deputies Monday, providing
fer the use of modified forms of wor-
ship by congregations willing to accept
the spiritual oversight of a bishop. An
error was discovered in recording the
vote of the Nebraska delegation, which
had been entered in favor of the amend
ment, whereas poll of the members
showed that they were opposed to the
measure. This led to demand for
reconsideration of Mondays vote. The
vote on reconsideration resulted as
follows: Aye-clerical, 2S; lay, 1s. No
clerical, SO; lay, 10. Divided-cler-
ical, 10; lay, s. The united vote of 30
delegations of each order being re-
quired, the amendment was defeated.
Article of the proposed constitu-
tional amendment, which had previ-
ously been passed over by both houses,
was taken up by the house of deputies
and defeated after brief debate. 1t
provided for several changes in the
manner of creating new dioceses. This
disposed of all the constitutional
amendments in both houses excepting
article 2, which provides for any sub
sequent changes in the constitution.
/ The question of marginal readings was
taken up by the deputies, but no action
had been taken when the hour of adj
| journment arrived.
After disposing of much routine
business the house of bishops took up
the subject of marriage and divorce.
| It is not expected that vote will be
reached for several days.
A general missionary mass meeting
was held at the Mechanics pavilion at
night. The attendance was estimated
at 10000. The music was provided by
vested choir of 1000 men and boys
After simple service of prayer ad
dresses were made by the lord bishop
of Newcastle, England; Bishop Potter
of New York; Bishop Partridge, OF
Kyoto, and Burton Mansfield, of New
Haven, Conn. All of the speakers urged
the Importance of renewed zeal in ad
vancing the cause of the church in for
eign lands.

The witness described the engagement OF

turning to the westward. He did not think
this was to exceed 1900 yards out from Cay
Smith, which is inside the harbor.

TREATY SUITS ALL.
No Sacrifice Of Principles by Either
Party to the Pact.
A STATEMENT FROM WASHINGTON.
Proposed Convention Merely Pro-
vides Mechanism for Giving n Wa
terway Neutral Mt All Times and
Open to worlds Commerce.

Washington, Oct. 9.-There has been
no surrender by England to the United
States in the matter of the new
isthmian canal treaty, according to the
best authority here. 1t is said to be
equally true that the United States has
sacrificed no principle in these nego-
tiations, and the effect of contrary
statements is deprecated as likely Sc
riously to jeopardize the chances OF
the consummation of the convention
which shall finally and peacefully set
tie an issue that has been a source of
danger for the past so years. 1t is
said that what actually happened is
that each side has preserved the under-
lying principle of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, and the new convention will
provide for waterway neutral at all
times and open to the commerce OF
the world. The Clayton-Bulwer treaty,
however, drawn half a century ago, has
proved to be defective In mechanism for
giving effect to this purpose. The new
treaty SIMPLY provides this mechanism,
| England isrelievedf from the guarantee,
which in her case was only trouble-
some, and which, being assumed by the
| United States in toto, is quite as ct
fectiye. AS viewed from the American
point OF view even, there was no sur
render on England's part in seeking
this relief, inasmuch as the above-men'
| toned principle is reiterated and at
| firmed as binding upon the United
States. As for the form of the treaty
it may be stated that it embodies, il
substance, the amendments to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty which were adopted
by the senate, and beyond that the
changes are believed to be textua
rather than substantial
German Opinion.
