THE SULTAN HAS SIGNED.
France CongratuIating Herself ON Brins'
Ing the Port to Terms-Dlplomatio
Relations

Paris, Nov. 1.-THE French foreign
office has announced that the sultan
has signed an trade for the execution
| of his engagements with the French
| government, and that the Franco
Turkish dispute is now at an end.
Tewfk Pasha, Ottoman minister OF
foreign affairs, wrote a letter to NJ
Bapst, councillor of the French en-
bassy in Constantinople, notifying him
of the signing of the trade, which,
while settling the original French de-
mands, accepts the fresh demands as
set forth in a dispatch to the Temps
from Constantinople Friday, and ca
bled to the press, together with an ad.
ditional clause by which the sultan
pledges himself to consider as author
ICED in full right the foundations
extensions, constructions and repairs
of the schools and religious and hos.
pitable establishments which France
may desire to carry out if the porte
is advised of her intentions and makes
no objections within five months.
France has thus far received full
satisfaction, and M. Delcasse, on the
receipt of NJ. Bapst's dispatch yester-
day morning, ~telegraphed him to in
form Tewfk Pasha that diplomatic re-
lations had been resumed.
The additional clause was conceded
at the request of France, in order to
prevent future difficulties, such as the
Turkish provincial authorities have
often raised either on their own initi-
alive or in consequence of instigation
by the porte.
The Temps, which describes the re.
suit as "a brilliant victory for French
diplomacy" says:
"The great merit of the govern
ment was in being able to restrict its
action. Very serious difficulties might
have arisen had France dropped from
her reserve. The favorable DISPOSE
ton shown to our representations
abroad has been due to the fact hat
the civilized world has had oppor-
tunity during the last seven years to
observe the progress of the anti.
European movement in the sultan's
councils. Frenchmen, Americans, Aus
trians, Italians and Britons have all
been victimized by the sultan and
his councillors. After the Armenian
massacres and the successfulwa with
Greece, they thought everything was
permitted to them.
1--WE hope the sultan will not un-
derstand his duties towards the civ
ilized powers and toward his own sub.
jects, unto whom he has taken solemn
engagements which he has always
disregarded. Otherwise, Europe,
which, thanks to the energetic action
of France, is now able to reassume
at Constantinople the authority she
lost seven years ago, will applaud the
initiative which the signatory powers
of the Berlin treaty are reported to
be about to take to extort from the
sultan the execution of clauses too
long fallen into disuse."

THE CAPTIVE MISSIONARY.
Progress of the Negotiations for Her
Surrender-WiI1 Hold Bulgarian
Government Responsible.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 11.-Informa-
ton has been received here from
Doubnitza that the band of brigands
holding captive Miss Ellen NJ. Stone,
the American missionary, called about
a fortnight ago at the village of
Smetchevo, and subsequently proceed
ed to the monastery of Rio, but the
movements of the troops compelled
the brigands to flee toward the from
tier, where they are now in hiding.
1t is asserted that the brigands
have recently been treating Miss
Stone with more severity in order to
exercise pressure and to compel a
more ready acceptance of their condi-
lions.
Consul-General Dickinson is infiex-
ible. He insists that the surrender Of
Miss Stone must precede or be SIM
%ultaneous with the payment of the
ransom. His attitude is justified by
the known determination of some
members of the band, particularly
the captain, Yanne S~andansky, to kill
Miss Stone and her companion as
soon as the ransom is received, owing
to the fact thai the captives have now
acquired information concerning the
secret committees.
Competent persons, however, ex-
press the opinion that the cupidity
of the ~brigands will overcome their
fear OF revelations, and all such APP
prove the declaration of Mr.. Dickin-
SON.
Saturday Mr.. Dickinson made ener-
getic representations to the Bulgarian
government against the movements
of the Bulgarian troops, ~reproaching
the officials with the fact that, not
withstanding their solemn promises
to give him all assistance in their
power, their action was embarrassing
the negotiations, and placing in
Jeopardy the life of Miss Stone.
He made a definite declaration that
the Bulgarian government would be
held responsible for the death of Miss
Stone, and for all the consequences
of her death, should it be proved that
the attitude of the Bulgarian govern
ment forced the ~brigands to kill their
captives.
