BraZTS Coffee.

The "Brazilan Revie,o" states that up
p March 20, 1901, 1901, the value of the
Nffee shipped since the beginning of the
year from Brazilian ports was G3, ,962, ,142
(s19,2S1, ,764), against e3, 3,3O2,9S5 (S16,-
O73, ,997) for the corresponding period of last
year. The Value of the current crop is stated
to be e16,O42,c32 ($7S,O6S, ,549), as against
s12, ,2S9, ,241 1853, ,SO5, ,59D for the cores
pondng period of the previous CROP 1899 :
1900. So far the increase of quantity has
more than compensated for the fall in prices
and has given a higher sterling value to
draw against. So long as such conditions
exist, reports the "Review," and payments
are not exaggerated unless some political
troubles interfere, exchaDg must continue to
rise.

As to tile injurious effect of the action

that German traders are delighted tcith the

Brigands Who Abducted Her Said to
Have Dispersed.
'HE is STILL HELD A CAPTIVE
Her Companion Sends Word That
They Must be Ransomed.
FORCE WILL NOT ALL

SOFIA, October 15.-Although the time
fixed by the brigands who abducted Miss
Ellen NJ. Stone, the American missionary,
for the payment of the ransom demanded,
expired week ago., no one has appeared at
Samakoff to claim the money or to an
nounce the fate of the captive. 1t is now
learned that the band is dissolved, but that
Miss Stone Is kept under surveillance at
some distance from the frontier. This is
due to snow and cold weather rendering the
mountains unnhabitable.
The efforts of the police to arrest Saraoff,
formerly president of the Macedonian COM
mittee, who Is suspected Of completely in
the kidnapping, are still unavaiing. The
failure is due to the sympathy of the in
habitants and local authorities.
SOFIA, Bulgaria, October 15-The par
ents of Madame Tsilka, the Bulgarian
teacher who was captured by brigands with
Miss Ellen NJ Stone. the American mis-
s1onary, have received another letter from
their. daughter urging the step already
taken, namely, stopping the military pur-
suit, because the brigands threaten the
prisoners with immediate death in the
event of danger, to themselves. The writer
says that she and Miss Stone are hidden in
a subterranean retreat and are treated
courteously. She also says the only means
of securing their release is to pay the ran
som demanded.

MUST WINTER UNDER TENTS.
LACK of Quarters for the Fourth Bat
terry at Fort Myer.

Owing to the lack of other quarters at
Fort Myer, Va, the 4th Battery OF Field
Artillery, commanded by Major c. D. Park
hurst, recently transferred there from
Washington barracks, will be compelled to
spend the coming winter under canvas.
The quartermaster's department has pro-
vided the necessary tents and made every
arrangement for their comfort and well be-
ing. Sheds will be provided for the horses
and buildings erected for kitchens and mess
rooms, but the men themselves will be
compelled to live in tents. Sbley tents
have been provided for the purpose Each
tent will have raised board floor and be
furnished with a Sibley stove and the usual
sleeping outfit. This is but a temporary ex-
pedlent and was necessitated by the unex-
pected rapidIty of the transfer of this bat
terry from its regular quarters in order to
make room at Washington barracks for the
engineer school and battalion from Willets
Point.
There are about eighty men in the 4th
Battery of whom thirty-eight are raw re-
crufts and it is the intention to put them
into first-class shape and make the ba ttery
one OF the most efficient In the service
With this idea in view it has been ar
ranged to have the battery make prac-
uce march to Harper's Ferry in a short
time and remain there in camp for about
fifteen days 1t is expected that the cam
vas quarters at Fort Myer will be entirely
ready for their accommodation by the time
OF their return from this march.

MIR. EVANS TO STAY,
No Change In Head of Pension Office
for Six Months

There is to be no change in the office of
commissioner of pensions for the next six
months, If at all. President Roosevelt does
not now contemplate the removal of Com
missioner Evans and will not consider it
unless evidence clearly warranting such ac-
tion is brought by the Grand Army of the
Republic within the time mentioned
Judge Torrance, commander-in-chief Of
the Grand Army, was in Washington yes
.terday and had conferences with the Presi-
dent and later with Commissioner Evans
1t is learned from authoritative sources
that there is to be further investigation Of
the charges brought by the Grand Army
against Mr.. Evans before action is taken
by the executive.
The situation is this: President Roosevelt
comes into office unaware, officially of the
friction that has existed between Mr. Ey-
ans and the Grand Army. Judge Torrance
assumes his position at the head of the or
ganization, with like unfamiliarity, official
ly, with the case.
Neither has prejudiees in the premises
1t may be stated that Judge Torrance is
to take personal cognizance of the charges
look into them and report to the President
before the case is again considered AZ the

STATEHOOD FOR ARIZONA.
Conference of Citizens to he Held Mt
Phoenix.

1.-The people of Arizona are determined
upon insisting that the territory shall be
admitted to statehood" said Col. William
S. Bennings of Phoenix at the National to-
day. Governor Murphy has issued call
for a conference of all citizens at Phoenix
on October 26. at which time definite plans
will be formulated for bringing the question
to the attention of Congress in the proper
light.
In his call the governor emphasizes that
democrats and republicans alike. farmers,
miners, grazers, corporations large and
small and all territorial interests of what
soever nature should be united on this most
important measure for the public good.
That is the way we all feel. Political diff
ferences can be decided at the polls after
statehood is obtained. The Phoenix board
of trade is deeply interested in the project
and there is feeling on the part of every
one that Congress cannot fail to grant our
desire to become a state"

de la Vaulx to cross the Mediterranean in
a balloon which left Les Sablettes, near

The balloon was uninjured. The result
of the experiment did not cause any sur

the southeast winds which were blowing

that Gunners Francis Martin and Henry
B. Soule have qualified for appointment as
ensigns In the navy under the provisions of
a recent act Of Congress Gunner Martin
is stationed at Fort Miffiin, near Philadel-
phia, and was examined at the Washington

of Rear Admirals Walker, Watson and
Jewell. He was found entirely qualified for
commission as an ensign, and was compli-
mented by the members of the board on the
excellent showing he had made. The ex-
animation was purely technical. and was
practically the same as that required of
graduates Of the Naval Academy before
their appointment as ensigns.

made creditable record. There are two
other candidates for similar appointments.

SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO, October
15-Persistent though unverihed rumors are
current that Gen. Andrade, the former pres
ident of Venezuela, who is now here, will
shortly head force of men from the
Islands of Curacao and Trinidad, who will
invade Venezuela. 1t is said that he had
planned to sail October II on the Red D
line steamer Philadelphia from New York
for Venezuela, via Porto Rico, and that
he bought his ticket, but changed his mind
half an hour before the ship sailed, pre-
sumably because the Philadelphia varied
her regular course, touching first at La
Guaira where steps had been taken to ar
rest the general.

thority for the statement that Gen. Andrade
intends to sail October 25 on the steamer

of San Juan and is seldom seen in public.
