THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co.
WTH OF THE NAVY.
Striking Illustrntson of It in Expendi-
 ture for Coal.

Washington, Nov 1O.-A striking H. lustration of the growth of the Ameri- can navy is presented in the single statement in the annual report of Rear Admiral R. B. Bradford. chief of the equipment bureau of the navy that he spent $2,273, Ill last fiscal year for 324,- 10S tons of coal at an average of S7.01 per ton. The report says that this was nearly 95, 713 more tons of coal than was used during the preceding fiscal year. Ten years ago the coal con- sumption was 79000 tons per annuam. The domestic coal costs S6.20 per ton and the foreign coal of which there was used 105,066 tons cost $8.50 per ton
 Admiral Bradford has scattered American coal all over the world wher- ever suitable storage could be found He has placed 12,000 tons at Yolkahoma 5000 tons at Pichilinque. Mexico, and he has sent large quantities to the Phil ippines He carried 5000 tons by water from the Atlantic coast to Mare Island, California, where it came into compe- tition with English Cardiff coal They have averaged the same in cost, viz, $929 per ton, but at present, owing to the scarcity of American freight vessels the best Cardiff coal is considerably cheaper at Mare Island.
 It is recommended that two large steam colliers be built to keep depots supplied in time of peace and to &C., company the fleets In time of war.

OBSERVATIONS OF NEW STAR
AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY BY
 PROFESSOR PERRINE.
Motion on an Enormous scalo-Bright- est Portion of the Nebula and Perhaps the NebuIa Itself Moves 10 tho SOuth- east More Than Ono Minute of Arc in Six Weeks.

San Jose, Cal. Nov. 10.-W. w.. Campbell, of the Lick observatory, has issued a bulletin regarding recent and somewhat important discovery made by Prof Perrine of the observatory on Mount Hamilton, in reference to the new star in the constellation of Perseus. This star appeared suddenly and unex- pectedly last February, having been discovered by Anderson. in Edinburgh. Tn some four days its brightness in- creased from instability in ordinary telescopes until 1t became the brightest star in the northern sky.
 The stars atmosphere was violently disturbed, as shown by study of it's spectrum in the spring months, and since June, at least the spectroscope has shown 1t Is now a nebula, though retaining to the eye and in the telescope the point like form of an ordinary star.
 Tn August Professor Max Wolf of Heidelberg, Germany, secured a four hours exposure photograph of the re- zion of the sky containing the new star His negative showed the exist ence of some extremely faint nebulous patches about five minutes of arc south of the star, but with no evidence of any relationship between the nebulous clouds and the star
 In September MT. Rttchie at the Yer kes observatory photographed the same region with more efficient in- strument, and found that the nebulous cloud was very nearly circular. some ten minutes of arc In diameter. but of varying intensity In its different parts, with the new star situated near the middle of the nebulonity.
 A recent photograph secured by Pro- lessor Perrine with Crosley reflector, recorded the phenomenal features of the nebulous cloud. He compared his photograph with the Yerkes photograph of the same object and made the in teresting discovery that the brightest portion of the nebula at least, and per haps the nebula itself, had moved to the southeast more than one minute of arc in the past six weeks.
 This observation is in every respect unique. Motion on this enormous scale, or one-f1ftieth part of this scale, has never been observed for any celestial body outside the solar system, and 1t is morally certain that the observed phenomenon is closely related to the violent dist sturbances that gave birth to the new star. It Is perhaps as wonder full and important as any fact yet de- termined in connection with the new star

AMERICAN MEDIATION.
Report That U. 5. Insists Upon Settling g
 the Venezueian-C -CoIombiau Trouble.


 Willemstad, Island of Curacoa, Nov. 10.-Advices received here from Cap the report from President Castro to his brother, Clesetino Castro, at San Cristobal, to the effect that the United States government Insists upon medi- ating between Venezuela and Colom- bia," caused the greatest excitement among the troops on the frontier. Gen eral Uribe- Uribe and General Modesto Castro immediately set out for San Cristobal to obtain details.
 It seems that General Uribe-Uribe re- fused to believe the report, declaring that he had no fears as to the future of the liberal cause, becauset President Castro had given him cast-iron pledge not to forsake him. Should President Castro prove untrue to the liberal cause" exclaimed General Uribe-U -Uribe, "the result would be his ruin. The war will enter Colombia before Christ mas"
 There is considerable feeling against the Castro family among the Colombian liberals and along the frontier in con- sequence of a widespread rumor that Celestino Castro, who is commander in-chief at San Cristobal, has been pri- vately selling cattle to the enemy the cattle being whisked across the from tier by means of alleged raids of Colom- bian conservatives. During one of these raids a dozen soldiers were Killed on both sides. It is said that the cat tie change hands at a pre-arranged price of $30 per head The blood thus spilled is charged directly to Celestino Castro by the indignant people of Ia chira.
 From San Cristobal General Uribe- Uribe proceeded for Maracaibo.

Fire Next Door Causes Headiong Rush
 by the Guests.

Colchester. Nov 10.-Fire in the liv- cry stable of George B. Brown at 9:30 o'clock tonight caused a panic in hall adjoining the stable, but fortunate ly no one was seriously injured. A He brew wedding, at which there was a large gathering of guests, was taking place in the hall when the fire broke out in the stable. The flames were cas- fly seen by the guests and the scene was changed from one of merry making to a small-sized panic. Men and wo- men rushed for the door and there was a terrible crush.

FOR RELEASE OF MISS STONE
NEGOTIATIONS OF CONSUL DICKIN-
 SON WITH THE BRIGANDS.
He Insists That Her Surrender Must Payment of the Kans0m-Serious Ob- jection Taken to tho Movements of Bulgarian TrOeps-A Warning to n.uIs to


 Bulgarian Troeps-A Warning to
 Bulgaria.
 Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov 10.-Informa- ton has been received here from Deu- benitz that the band of brigands hold ing captive Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary. called about fortnight ago at the village of Smetch- evo and subsequently proceeded to the monastery at Rilo, but the movements of the troops compelled the brigands to flee toward the frontier, where they are now in hiding. It is asserted that the brigands have recently been treat ing Miss Stone with more severity in order to exercise pressure and to com pei a more ready acceptance of their conditions.
 Consul General Dickinson Is inflexi- ble. He insists that the surrender of Miss Stone must precede or be simul- taneous with the payment of the ran som. His attitude is justified by the known determination of some members of the band, particularly the captain, Yanne Sandansky, to kill Miss Stone and her companion so soon as the ran som is received owing to the fact that the captives have now acquired infor- nation concerning the secret commit tees.
 Competent persons, however, express the opinion that the cupidity of the brigands will overcome their fear of revelations, and all such approve the declaration of MT. Dickinson.
 Yesterday MT. Dickinson made ener- getic representations to the Bulgarian government against the movements of the Bulgarian troops, representing the officials with the fact that, notwith standing their solemn promises to give him all assistance in their power, their action was embarrassing the negotia- tions, retarding settlement and plac- ing In jeopardy the life of Miss Stone.
 He made 8 definite declaration that the Bulgarian government would be held responsible for the death of Miss Stone and of all the consequences of her death, should 1t be proved that the attitude of the Bulgarian government forced the brigands to kill their cap lives

CON VICTS TAKE SBERIFfS,
ESCAPED TORT HEAVEN WORTH
 MEN BATTLE THE OFFICIALS.
The Latter Held Prisoners in Farm House for Several Hours-The House Surrounded by Police but the COnvicts Escape by Making Shields of One Sheriff and the Farmers Wife.

Topeka, Kansas, Nov. 10.-Sheriff Cook and Deputy Sheriff Williams, of this county, were captured by two es- capped convicts from the Fort Leaven- worth military prison this afternoon at Pauline, five miles south of Topeka, and held prisoners in the farmhouse of man named Wooster for several hours. The convicts finally escaped between a line of police sent from Topeka to rein- force the sheriff, and are now at large. Both were slightly wounded.
 Wooster wa.s badly wounded by one of the convicts when he tried to fire on them. Mrs. Wooster and Sheriff Cook were held before the convicts as shield by the prisoners in making their escape. A posse Is in pursuit tonight.
 At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon some farmer boys near Pauline learned that the convicts were in the neighborhood. Hastily forming a posse, armed with the target rifles, pistols and clubs, they gave chase. Neither of the convlcts was armed and they were unable to make stand. Later Sheriff Cook and Deputy Sheriff Williams arrived. Con- ing upon the conv,cts, both tt1cers fired, wounding the men, but not disabling them. The convicts then fled through small opening in the timber and ran into the house of Farmer Wooster,
 Sheriff Cook telephoned to Topeka for assistance and then took up the chase. Thinking the convicts had run around the house, Cook darted through the open door, intending to surprise them at the rear door, But instead of this the con- victs had gone into the house and the officer almost fell into their arms.

MEN IN PERIL ON THE SOUND
TWO FISHERMEN THOUGHT TO BE
 FROM NEW HAVEN.

Names Of the Unfortunate Men Un-
 known-Tugs Sea, ched Unnecessarily
 for Them Yesterday Afternoon-Their
 Boat Thought to Have Been Over
 turned.
 Early yesterday morning two un- known men, supposed to come from this city, hired a rowboat from Thomas Sharpe, of Woodmont, for the purpose of fishing. When short distance out an oar broke and the men were unable to control the boat. A high east wind was blowing from the shore and the fishermen began to swiftly drift out into the sound William Hall and Cliff ford Merwin put out in a rowboat after the unfortunate men, but after rowing some time were unable to reach them and turned back to shore. It was with difficulty that they reached shore. The two men in the manageable rowboat were meanwhile swiftly drifting out into the sound A large number of vil- lagers were on the beach watching them through glasses. The boat was soon lost sight of, and the police of this city were notified of the predicament of the two men and asked to send tug to their assistance.
 Upon receipt of this message two tugs, the Rambler and the Hogan, of the New England Transportation company, im- mediately left New Haven harbor in search of the men. After searching about for some hours without success the tugs returned to New Haven and reported that they had not sighted the drifting craft.
 It is the opinion at Woodmont that the small boat must have surely cap sized owing to the fact that the water was extremely rough. Even If they escaped this fate 1t is probable that the men will be overcome by the cold, as their clothing was insufficient to keep their bodies warm in an open boat on such night.
 MT. Sharpe, from whom the two men hired the boat did not know the two men, nor where they came from. He thought, however, that they came from New Haven. No reports of any New Haveners missing had been made to the police up to midnight last night.
