FEARS FoR MISS STONES SAFETY.
London Globe Thinks Gen. Dickinson
Made q Mistake.

LONDON, October 1s-The Globe this af-
ternoon says it fears that the safety of
Miss Ellen M. 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 factors Of grave international COM
plication, and threatens to assume i'm
portance far beyond the personality of any
individual missionary.
The Rev. Charles c. Creegan, secretary
of the American board of missions in New
York. announced yesterday that Mr.. In
gram of Eau Claire, Wis, had offered to be
one of ten to pay the $4,000 required to
complete the ransom fund for Miss Ellen
M. Stone. Mr.. Creegan also said he had
received a telegram from the Rev. T. De
Witt Talmage of Washington Offering TO
be one Of fifty to pay $1,000 each to com
plete the fund. zs>
