a W., WASHINGTON, Oct. o.
~ While officials decline to make
public the character of the nego-
tiations that are in progress with
the Bulgarian brigands who have Miss
Stone in their possession, the belief is
steadily growing stronger that she will
be liberated in a few days. Additional
dispatches were received by the State De-
partment to-day in relation to the loca-
tion Of and negotiations with the brig
ands, but for obvious reasons they are
withheld from publication The authori-
ties are hopeful that the representations
which are being made showing that 1t is
impossible to raise the ransom demanded
will convince the brigands that it is use
less TO delay longer the delivery Of the
prisoner, and that they will accept the
sum available.
AS soon as Miss Stone is liberated, and
not before, the United States will mako
representations to Bulgaria, and perhaps
Turkey. for the purpose of securing rep
sration. This will include the punish

Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, 14o6 G STREET., N
W., WASHINGTON, Oct 29-Save for
the proposition Of tho Panama Canal
Company and a few finishing touches. the
Isthmian Canal Commission has complet-
ed its final report.
This report will recommend the adop-
ton Of the Nicaragua route, and it Is
becoming evident that no matter wha.
character Of proposal M. Hutin and M.
Boeufve may submit, unless it is abb
surdly low, the commission will not
change its present conclusion.
M. Hutin returned to Washington to-
day from New York, where he attended
a meeting Of the Board of Directors of
the Panama Railway. 1t is expected he
will call upon the Canal Commission and
continue his discussions. The commission
thinks it hopeless to expect from him
definite and final proposal of the sum for
which the company will sell its conces-
sion.
Will Not Fix Price.
In his conversations with the commits
sion, M. Hutin, it was learned to-day.
has repeatedly brought up the proposal
he submitted some months ago in relation
to the final determination of the value of
the canal property and concession by
the Board Of Appraisers.
Rear Admiral Walker and his associ-
ates have emphatically declined to rec
ommend the adoption of any such pro
posal, holding that to do so would be to
place the treasury Of the United States
at the disposal of board of three per-
sons, one of whom only would be cit:-
zen of the United States.
Colombia has made every effort to in
duce NJ. Hutin to fix a price, but appa-
rently because he believes that the sum
he would name would be so ridiculously
high that 1t could not be considered, the
French representative has declined to
do so.
Shortening Of the Route.
Shortening of the route between the
eastern and western coasts of the United
States by the use of the Nicaragua in
stead Of the Panama route is the princi-
pal advantage of the former whicn has
appealed to the commission.
The commission does not regard its esti-
mate of $200,00OOOO as the cost of the canal
excessive, when the width and depth of
the waterway and the engineering diff
culties to overcome are taken into con-
sideration.

just 20 then. and the leader of the social
set there. Lulu" she was to all her
friends, and her hand and heart were
asked for by many an ardent swain with
out success. She was a girl of rare cul-
ture and wit. She was fond of fun and a
practical joker par excellence.
At Narragansett once she suggested to
young adorer that he prove his devotion
by walking into 'the surf in his evening
dress. He agreed to do so If she would go

garments, but thoroughly satisfied with
the lark.
Returning from a dance in Baltimore
