MONEY RAISED FOR
MISS STONES RANSOM

Boston, Oct. S.-Nearly half the mon
ey needed to ransom Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone, the missionary. from the Bull
Iarian brigands. has been placed in
the hands of Kidder. Peabody & Co.
The exact figures at midnight were
S43. .543.4O cash and $500 in pledges.
OF this amount the firm this afternoon
sent $4,000 to the State Department
to be forwarded to It's consular agent
ut the place where it can be used most
cNpeditiously.
Members of the firm. when Informed
that Vienna adyices indicated there
would be months extension of time
in which to pay the ransom. said the
forwarding of the money would not be
delayed in the least. During the after
noon the officials of the American
board in charge of Congregational mis-
sions met informally. The officials per-
sonally contributed to the ransom, but
ns officials they took the position they
have maintained all along, that 1t
would be iuadvisable for them, MS a
missionary board, to pay ransom
this for the reason that it would be put
ting Il premium OH brigandage that
must i'll the end make missionary work
in wild ana rough countries more diff
cult and possibly impracticable.
After this meeting II was officially
given out that the State Department at
Washington has agreed to take full
charge of the delivery Of the ransom to
the brgandS.
London, oct SIT is reported from
Sofia says dispatch from Vienna,
that United States Consul Dickinson
and an envoy of the missionary society
arrived there Saturday, intending to
follow up Miss Stone and to deposit a
portion of the ransom. The brigands
have extended the time for payment
one month"

CLIFF JEWELLERS.
DR.. Russell. of Harvard. snys They Did No
Come From Asia.

DIR. Frank Russell. who is in charge
OF the chair Of anthropology at Har-
ward. WAS Interviewed by a reporter
On his arrival in Denver to attend the
meetings of The Association for the
Advancement of Science. and an
nounced tina, he has discovered re-
Gently in Arizona and southwestern
Colorado $50 ruins of the cliff dwellers
which had not been previously trodden
by the feet OF modern investigators.
He says be located them in almost in
accessible places. which required un-
usu;ii efforts Of brain and physical en-
durance. To reach one OF the most
valuable it was necessary to lower his
wife and wagon down the side of q
precipice for 80 feet by means OF
block and tackle. and slide the mules
down the side of the mountain.
Dr. Russell rrave.sd 200 miles hy

Ing headquarters at Tucson. since last
March. The "trip was conceived for
the purpose of making thorough
reconnaissance of the entire South
west for the bureau of ethnology of the
United States government 1t inclu,l-
ed the pueblo mounds of Arizona and
southeastern Utah and the dwellings
OF San Juan county. in this state He
reports that s"me of the newly discov-
cred ruins are of Importance. while
many are too small and valueless to re-
pay further investigation. One of the
results of the investigations Is ur.
RusselIs conclusion that the theory OF
the clln 1wrllcrs having originally
come upon North American soil via
Behring straits from Asia is erroneous.
DIR. Russell believes that the cliff
dwellers were natives. and that the
progress of their evolution was from
the south to the north. and that they
We're separate tribes with constant
tendencies toward civilization instead
of retrogressiOn. similar to the evolll.
ton of the Algonquin and other east
ern Indian tribes
There is nothing whatever" said
DR.. Russell. 'on which to base the the.
ory that any of the cliff dwellers had
an Asiatic origin. They had no Asiat-
lc customs. That idea is revival of
aniquated theories, based on dead
data"

SUDDEN DEATH OF THE AMEER

He is mt Cabul. For some years. un-
der his fathers controlling hand. he
has had charge of the army and the
stat. treasury and the Supreme Court
of Appeal He is regarded as n wise

Great Britain. but less masterful than

likely to be strong enough to govern
the fierce unruly tribes or to resist
the attempts of his brothers to seize

1t is expected that Lord Curzon will
postpone his intended tour of BurInah
until after the Afghan question is set

The editorials in the morning papers
express confidence that, with Il strong
viceroy and Il strong government ut

lowing the death Of the Ameer will be
firmly and prudertly met. There is,
however. an underlying current of un-
easiucSs diScernible as to whether
Russia will seize the opportunity to
push her frontier forward. The Brit
