the brigands into Bulgarian territory.
The brigands are still wandering round
lat region near Gultepe, and the two
governments with gendarmerie. SOL
diers and secret agents are trying to
find them The four brigands who
have been arrested stoutly maintain
that they are not connected with the
band that captured Miss Stone. They
have been summoned to appear at Dub
nitza and be examined by a Turkish
special commission. This may be a
Turkish effort to make Protestants APP
pear as accomplices in the Stone cap
ture.
Owing to the severe frost prevailing
in the mountains, ali efforts to send
parcels of clothes and other necessaries
to Miss Stone, who must be suffering
from the cold, have been baffled.
All attempts to communicate with
the brigands have been unsuccessful.
The bandits are apparently afraid of
treachery, and determined not to d.s-
close their hiding place.

with the band shall be cancelled.

as hard as it might have been in the
South American market. The reason
of this is explained by MI. seeger.
United States consul general at RIO
Janeiro. who states that the dealers
make more on Cardiff than American
coal: consequently they push the safe
of the former and represent that our
coal is inferior. 1t is suggested that
our coal men establish a depot at no
and maintain an agent to press the safe
of the eoa1 and to convince the pnDllc
of its excellent quality.
Consul General Seeger thinks That
American bidders ought to be interest
ed in the proposal of the Central kall-
road to buy $4,000 tons for the hrst
half of 1902 In the last fiscal year our
shipments of coal to Brazil were 100, 100
tons. against less than fifty thousand
in each of the two preceding years.
This suggests the possibility OF rapidly
building up very large business. MI.
Seeger reports that the company when
has the present coal contract supplies
Cardiff coal at 35s and American at Us.
so that our price is already about 10
cents a ton better than the English;
but the Cardiff coal has the reputation,
and what seems 10 be necessary Is to
convince the Brazilian officials that the
American coal is in no wise inferior TO
the Cardiff.
This should be an easy matter
coal has already knocked out
the old proyerb and is being carried TO
New Castle and the Royal Mail steamer
