W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-While COM
mun1cation has been established with the
brigands and the safety of Miss Stone
has been satisfactorily determined, some
delay In her release is apt to arise be-
cause OF the difficulty in communicating
with her abductors
Inc ransom fund has been increased,
the authorities have been informed. oy
SIUUO, making the total available for her
rescue $66, 0OO. There is little prospect
that additions will be made to this sum.
The Boston board of missions will not
conN1oute additional funds and the Gov
ernrnent has no appropriation from which
TO draw for the balance.
Inc brigands must therefore accept
$6b,OOO or nothing, and the authorities be-
neVe that they will prefer the former
aIlernauVe. No dispatches were received
py the state Department from Eddy, the
secretary OF the American Legation, or
Dlcklnson, Consul General at Sofia, show
ing tnat further communication has not

TRIES To SLAY
CHINA s EMPRESS
Assassin Kills DoWager's
Attendant With a
Spear.
WI Ting Fang, Minister to
the United States, Re-
called to China.

PEKING, Nov 2.-While the Empress
Dowager was embarking to cross the
river to-day before entering Honan an
assassin attempted to murder her, and
killed an attendant with a spear before he
was cut down.
The court has left Honan en- route for
Peking.
Yesterday the recall of Yu Ting Fang,
the Chinese Minister at Washington, was
decided upon. He will be offered, it is
announced, a subordinate post in the
Foreign Office beneath his abilities, which
it is believed he will decline.
Ii Hung Chang's interpreter, Tseng,
adopted son of the Marquis Tseng, is a
prominent candidate for the Washington
mission. He is 50 years old and was edu-
Gated in England.
Cheng Ieye has been appointed Min
lister in London. He is 55 years of age and
was formerly interpreter to the Chinese
legations in London and Berlin. He is
progressive.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-The Chinese
Legation is without adVices bearing out
the Peking report of the decision to recall
Minister lNu. At the same time there is
no diSinclination at the legation to accept
the report as true for two reasons. First,
the omcial dispatch in such matters al
most invariably is day or two later than
the press dispatch, as occurred in the case
of the recall of Minister Yang vi, Minis
ter Wu's predecessor, and second, the pre-
WI expired some months ago.
1t was stated at the legation tonight
that there were no Peking dispatches
awaiting the Minister'S return There
have been rumors for some time that WI
would be recalled. So far the gossip from
the Chinese court has mentioned two
names as possible successors. These are
Tseng, Ii Hung Chang's interpreter, and
Ii Cheng Fang, a son of that Viceroy. The
latter is about 80 years old.
Cheng Teye, appointed to the Chinese
Embassy at the court Of st. James, was
a secretary of the special embassy sent
to Toxic to expiate the assassination of
the Chancellor of the Japanese Legation
at Peking. Sir Lo Fen Lob, whom he
succeeds, was not thought to have been
slated for the transfer to st. Petersburg.
TOLEDO, O., Nov. 2.-Chinese Minister
WI was in this city while en- route to Ann
Arbor, Mich, where he spoke Friday
night. Senator Hanna met him at the
station and in the course of a conversa-
tion said:
"Wu, you are getting too popular over
here. l hear that your countrymen are
getting jealous and are going to make it
hot for you
"Ah, you do not understand our people
We are queer people," said WI, and
then adroitly changed the subject. Min
lister WI passed through this city at 9
o'clock tonight on his return trip to
Washington.

GoEBEL MURDER SUSPECTS
WILL NOT BE EXTRADITED
to Sign the Second Requisi-
tion Papers.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 2.-Gover-
nor DUrbin tonight announced his decl-
sion refusing to grant the requisition for
the return to Kentucky of Ex-Governor
Taylor and Charles w. Finley, who were
indicted by Kentucky courts for COM
plicity in the murder of Governor William
Goebel
Governor Durbins decision is embodied
in long letter addressed to Governor
Beckham of Kentucky.
Governor Durbin recites the fact that
this is the second requisition made for the
return of the fugitives and states that he
must decline to honor the requisition for
the same reason that prompted his prede-
cessor, the late Governor Mount, that the
time has not yet arrived when an unpre-
JUDGED and non-partisan hearing of the
charges against the fugitives can be had
in Kentucky.

ENGLISH PEOPLE STILL

Physicians Prohibit Him From Smok-

Alcoholics.

LONDON, Nov. 2.-When such serious
and ultra-respectable papers as the Lon
don Times and Lancet deem it advisable
to display announcements that King Ed
ward is not i'll it can be reasonably de-
Quoted that a very general impression 10
the opposite prevailed among those upper
classes by which these papers are read.
There is reason to believe that the King
was suffering within the last few days
from an liberated throat, which those
closely attached to him, especially the
women Of his own family, feared must be
the forerunner of cancer. According to
the prcnouncements of the doctors, their
fears are unfOunded. But King Edward is
prohibited from smoking and is forbidden
the use Of any alcoholics. Whether the
physicians are concealing the truth even
from the royal patient and his family is
a secret history alone can reveal, but il
is evident from the Kings public appear
ances that there is nothing very imni-
nently dangerous in his condition.
