London, Oct. 26.-There is no end
Of criticism current regarding the
governments conduct of the war in
South Africa but il emanates chiefly
from those whom Mr.. Chamberlain
IN his speech last night characterized
as his candid friends" The cutlery
does not appear to strengthen in the
slightest the chances of the liberal
party. r. c. Lehman, who has just
resigned the editorship of the Daily
News, admits that he sees no hope
FOR liberalism until il has acquired

maintains that even this is better

One of the striking signs of discon-

A REAL LOVE MATCH.
Senator Depew Talks Of His Com
ing Marriage to Miss Palmer.
The Genial Statesman Tells How He
Met His Fiancee Years Ago and
Declares the Attachment Ii of
Long Standing.

Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew talked
the other day about his engagement
to Miss May Palmer with gayety and
more freedom than a younger man
would do.
Miss May Palmer and l are en-
gagged" he said. Miss Palmer is a
daughter of the late Henry Palmer,
who was n banker in New York city
until he removed with his family to
Paris. Miss Palmer was born at her
fathers former home at Thirty-fifth
street and Fifth avenue, in this city.
Thirty years ago her family went to
live in Paris.
"Her father died after living
abroad, and the immediate family
now consists of Mrs. Palmer, Miss
Palmer and Madeline Won Andre, who
is the well-known social leader in
London. Miss Palmer has been
spending all her summers in recent
years at Veyvey lake, Geneva. She is
an intimate friend of my cousin,
Countess De Sers, who lives there.
am guardian, trustee and counselor
for this cousin of mine and am very
fond of her.
"Now, | suppose, you begin to see
how this romance of mine started,
have known Miss Palmer nine years.
| have seen her every summer at Vey-
vey, and grew very fond of her,
When did the love-making begin?
Guess for yourself. Ha! ha! Az /
can say is that it is no recent thing
with me.
miss Palmer interested me from
the very beginning. She was educat-
ed in the best schools and colleges in
Germany, and has lived the last IA
years in France, so that she is very
cultured woman. She has always
been a hard student and is yet. She
is a brilliant musician, sings beauti-
fully and has all those graces and
charms that bewildcr a man and
cause him To surrender to Cupid"
The senator said il had not been
decided when the wedding would &C.

CANT FIND THE BR|GANLS.
Ransom for Miss Stone Will Be
Paid When Hiding Place of Her
Captors Is Reached.
MSTS EEVELOP THE MOUNTAINS.
sesrchers Are Handicapped by the Dificult
Nature of the Country and Recent
Heavy Rains Have Increased the Task
OF Traversing the Paths of Access to
Hiding Places of the Csptors.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Though Mr..
Eddy, the secretary of the American
legation in Constantinople, is Indirect
ly in communication with the bril-
gands supposed to hold Miss Stone
captive, no word concerning the con.
dition of the woman has been received
by the state department for some
days. The authorities do not accept
this absence of news as an indication
that Miss Stone is dead. They believe
that information of her death would
be promptly communicated to them.
Convinced that the Turkish and Bull
garian troops will not attack as a
result of the representations of the
United States, the brigands are proba-
bly, awaiting the production of the
entire amount of the ransom original
" demanded. The state department
continues to urge the Boston board
Of missions to endeayor to collect
the sum required. and, as soon as it
is raised, the officials believe that
Miss Stones liberation will then be
question of a very short time.
Consul General Dickinson remains
at Sofia. and will operate from there
until the liberation of Miss Stone is
accomplished. The difficult nature of
the country handieaps the searchers,
and heavy rains have increased the
difficulty of traversing the paths
which are the only means of access
to the hiding places of the bandits
in the rugged mountain range. Thick
mists generally envelop the region
in autumn, preventing even expert
enced mountaineers from travelling.
Early in the week enc of the mis-
sionary scarchers actually located the
band and was approaching their re-
treat when the brigands, apparently
fearing the approach of troops, shift
ed their quarters and track of them
was again lost. Now, however, that
the troops have called off the direct
ors of the search are hopeful of max
ing better progress, though they point
out that even after the brigands are
found the negotiations may be pro-
longed, especially in view of the lack
of telegraph facilities.
