Police Spoiled Negotiations.

New York, Oct. 15.-The CONSTANT
nople correspondent of the World
cables the following additional points
of interest concerning the attempts
to rescue Miss Stone:
The first negotiations with the
brigands who kidnapped Miss Stone,
the American missionary, and are
now holding her for $4,000 ransom,
have fallen through, owing to an at
tempt by the Bulgarian police to trap
the outlaws. 1t is believed, however,
that Miss Stone and her companion,
Miss Tailka, are being we'll treated.
Trying TO Reach Brigands.
Constantinople, Oct. 1.-THE situa-
ton in the case of Miss Stone is
that Missionaries Baird and Has
kell are still trying TO get in touch
with the brigands in order to agree
on the amount of ransom. 1t is scarce
~ likely that this agreement will be
reached for some days. AS soon as
word comes from the missionaries that
the amount of ransom has been deter
mined upon, a member of the United
States legation will start for the place
named with the money.
Since the brigands who abducted
Miss Stone we're located on the noun
tains of Gultepe, the approach of the
troops induced them to change their
retreat. They are now hiding on the
Turko-Bulgarian frontier, ready to
cross to either side, as circumstances
demand.
The decision to suspend the move
ments Of the troops was partially due
to the difficulties of operating in the
mountainous country, and partly ow-
ing to fear that further advance
might endanger the life of Miss Stone,
hence the American desire to try and
negotiate for the payment of ram

Double taxes must be paid on all the
personal property. In the first place the

State has law providing that no stock
