sionary, has been heard from. Treas
urer w. w. Peet, of the American

II write 20 inform you that on the Sd of

Der of armed men-some 40-as l travelled
from Bansko TO Diumaala with about u
teachers, students and others.
They took me with my companion, Mrs.

captured us is for a ransom. The price
which they demand for us is E25. 900. Turk

tirely without the knowledge of the Turk
lsh and Bulgarian governments within the
term of Is days from to-day.

beg DR.. Haskell himself to go to Constan-
of the ransom atSamakov, where men will
receive it on presenting an order from me.
THE men who captured US at first
showed courtesy and consideration toward
u.s. but now. since Turkish soldiers and
bashi-bazouks have begun to pursue us
and the ransom is delayed. our condition
is altogether changed.
therefore. l beg YOU to hasten sending
the ransom demanded and that as ener-
getically as possible you will repres sent to
the Turkish government that it stop the
pursuit of us by soldiers, and bashi-ba-
zouks. otherwise We shall be killed by the
people in whose hands we are. pray you
to communicate without delay the contents
of this letter to the representative of the
United States at the porte and request his
most serious cooperation"
Washington, Oct. 15.-AN that can
be gained from the state department
officials respecting the case of Miss
Stone, the missionary who is held
by brigands in Bulgaria, is that she
is alive and that efforts are continu-
ing for her release. The officials
while declining to indicate the nature
of the measures they are pursuing
to this end, still have hope of ulti-
mate success.
Constantinople, Oct. 12.-In COM
pliance with Il request from Washing
ton the search by Ottoman troops
for the abductors of Miss Stone, the
American missionary, has been aban-
doned. it being feared that the brig
ands would kill her should they be
closely pursued. Arrangements are
now being made to pay the ransom

emily Lost.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Impenetrable
to Washington is the mystery of the
present condition and whereabouts, of
Miss Ellen M. Stone. The channel of
communication which Mr.. Eddy, the
secretary of the American lega ton in
Constantinople, had established with
the brigands has been interrupted. He
is, not informed as to the point to
which they have retreated. nor is he
advised as to their further progress.
To add to these distressing features of
the situation, the state department
has again become apprehensive that,
notwithstanding.the assurances of the
Bulgarian and Turkish governments,
their troops will attack the brigands
should they locate them. Mr.. Eddy and
Mr.. Dickinson, the latter at Sofia, will
make renewed representations to the
governments to which they are accred-
tied in the hope of obtaining explicit
instructions which will prevent an at
tempt to arrest the brigands, even
should their whereabouts be learned
by government forces,

Medical and Surgical History Of Pres
ident Mckinley's Case Given
by His Phyxleinns,

New York, Oct. .16.-The physicians
and surgeons who attended Presi.
dent Mckinley through the closing
days of his life On Tuesday present.
ed to thu" State Medical society gath
cred here in semiannual session q
lengthy report covering the medical
and surgical history; of the case of
the martyred . statesman. 1t was
signed by DIR. Matthew ID. Mann, Her.
man Mynter, Eugene Wasdin, Charles
G. Stockton, p NJ. Rixey, Roswell
Park and Charles McBurney, and was
read by DR.. Mann, who discussed the
features as he proceeded. No report
er was present, but general sum-
mary of it was given out by one of
the physicians. DR.. Mann did not
mention the operation, omitting that
altogether. He described the presi-
dents symptoms and treatment from
day to day, going into the fullest de-
tails.
In speaking of the bulletins issued
DIR. Mann said that every one of
them was absolutely true. None had
been misleading in any manner. He
told of the progress of the patient
from day to day till the unfavorable
turn, very sudden one, of the sew
enth day, and he said he mentioned
that to show that the bulletins is
sued were true and not misleading.
DR.. Mann said that there was abso-
lutely no meteorological infection.

me what caused the presidents
death could not tell you. I doubt
if that will ever be discovered.
Amongst contributory causes, how
ever, were the presidents age, his
lack of exercise and his naturally
weak heart, which made his pulse
high"
DR.. Mann was asked by one of the
listening medical men why the "X"-
ray was not applied SO the missing
bullet might be located. DR..
Mann replied that there was moth
ing in the condition of the patient
to show that the bullet was doing
any harm, and he said that if the
"X"-ray had been used it would only
have been to satisfy the curiosity of
the physicians and the excitement
attending the operation would have
been harmful to the patient, SO the
doctors refrained from using the
''X''-ray apparatus.
DR.. Mann went on to say that at
no time whatever had there been
the slightest disagreement among
the physicians. He said that COM
plete harmony marked every bit of
the time they were in attendance on
the President. He said he had never
known of such complete harmony
among physicians in attendance on
single patient. DR.. Mann did not
say anything of the autopsy, but he
described the technical treatment of
the president daily. A vote of thanks
was accorded DIR. Mann.
