Constantinople, Oct. 28.-Negotia-
tons with the brigands from Melnik,
in the province of Salonica. for the re-
lease of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the
American missionary, and her COM
panion, Nine. Tsilka, are progressing
satisfactorily and the officials here
hourly anticipate important develop
ments.
Says Both Are Alive.
Constantinople, Oct. .2s.-Miss Stone
and her companion were alive and
well five days ago. Consequently the
reported death of Nine. Tsilka is un-
true. This news comes through q
sure channel, which is kept secret be-
cause it is the one through which the
negotiations with the brigands are
conducted.
Washington, Oct. 2s.-The state de-
partment has not heard of the re-
ported opening of communication be-
tween the missionary agents in Tur-
key and the brigands who kidnapped
Miss Stone. In fact there has been
no word from Mr.. Eddy or Consul
General Dickinson since Friday morn
ing when their messages were of q
negative character. so far as news is
concerned. Nevertheless the depart
ment is satisfied from the reports
that have reached it that it's agents
are acting with energy combined with
prudence. Especially does it credit
Mr.. Eddy with display of zeal in the
effort to relieve the condition of the
unfortunate captive.

There has been talk of putting

When asked about the rumor that the
Cleveland club would go to St LOUIS
and the Milwaukee club to Fattsburg,
the league president said:
Considering the fact that the Cleve-
land club has never been a factor in
the pennant race, l. consider that the
town has shown up rem arkably well as
regards attendance. Cleveland Is a
good town for baseball when the team
is a winner, and am in favor Of leaV-
ing a club in that city. AS far as Mil
waukee is concerned. the Cream city
Will support a winning team, and It
has been unfortunate that they not had
one there this season"
Further than this President johnson
declined to 60. He left 1t to be inferred
that the Milwaukee team would be
transferred to St. Louis, and his recent
conferences with Mat E1i1lilea. and 9TH
ers Interested in the tail end club lend
color to the rumor that next season
will see an American league team play

The players at present with the Mil

and they with a. materially strength

supported.
