Dickinson Replies to Brigands' Proposals as Formulated
 in Stone Letter
ENTENTE IS EXPECTED SOON
Settlement as to the Manner and Place of Payment and Surrender of captIves Presents the
 Most Difficulty.

Sofia, Bulgaria, November 7.--Yesterday Mir. Dickinson despatched a messenger with reply to the brigands' proposals as formulated in Miss Stones letter. It Is understood that agreement as to the amount of the ransom has been virtually established. The settlement as to the manner and place of payment and the surrender of the captives presents the most difficulty. but an entente Is expect ed soon.
 The brigands are not willing to cross into Turkey to obtain money. while the Bulgarian government would oppose re- leasing Miss Stone on Bulgarian soil.
 Consul General Dickinson at Constanti- nople Is greatly chagrined because the fact that he had received a letter from Miss Stone has leaked out. He says 1t Is calculated to seriously affect, if not completely undo. the progress already achieved. On two previous occasions ne- sotiations with the brigands were abrupt ly broken off by the former, owing to the prernature disclosure of secrets which the band regarded as being breach of the understanding with them. MT. Dickin- son inform ed representative of the As- sociated Press today that 1t is indispen- sableI that if Miss Stone is ever to be re- leased. the course of negotiations be kept inviolably secret. Her release Is hopeless unless the brigands place confi- dence in the negotiators.

 Prominent cattlemen of the west who have been Investigating are prepared to show that during the past five years there has been an enormous decrease in the number of cattle in this country. de- crease which seriously threatens the beef food supply and unless speedy action is taken by Congress beef will be selling in few years at such fabulous prices that only the wealthy can afford beef steak.
 The cause of the rapid decline in the number of beef cattle Is said to be due solely to the contraction of the western public grasing lands and the increase in the consumptie demand. Where few years ago the markets were supplied with cattle, four. five and six years old. even yearlings are now being slaught cred to make up the supply of beef.
