DICKINSON CRITICISED.
United States Consul Said to Have
Compromised Miss stones Safety.

LONDON, Oct. 1S-The Globe this after
noon says that it fears that the safety of
Miss Ellen NJ. Stone is seriously compro-
missed by the attitude of Consul General
Dickinson in refusing to pay the ransom
and in demanding that Bulgaria arrest the
leaders of the Macedonian committee as the
real authors of the missionary's abduction
The paper says the situation contains all
the features of a grave international COM
plication and threatens TO assume impor-
tance beyond the personality of any indi-
vidual missionary.
-Four thousand Bulgarian and Turkish
troops have been occupied in the effort TO
obtain Miss Stones release" SAYS a dis
patch from Sofia TO the Morning Leader
1T is believed here that her release would
have been effected but for Mr. Dckinson's s
refusal to offer her captors more than an
ordinary pour boire.
Mr. Dickinson's extraordinary action is
regarded as suicidal A large sum must
be paid to the brigands, as otherwise Miss
StOne's life will be sacrificed. If Mr.. Dick
insOn desires vengeance on the brigands
the women must be ransomed first
