Constantinople, oct. 3L-The Turkish
government is already preparing 10
resist the anticipated demand of the
United States for repayment Of the
ransom necessary to secure the r.
lease of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone. the aO-
Quoted American missionary. the
porte repudiates all responsibility Tor
the KIDNAPPING Of Miss Stone and mann
tains that the United States mas TO
claim against Turkey and that there
fore the latter is justified in refusing to
recoup the United States for the money
expended in her rescue.
A high Turkish official this morning
informed a representative of the As
ISOLATED Press that the Turkish re-
sistanCe Of any claims would be based
upOn the contentious, first. that Miss
Stone, although warned OF the dangers
of the road persisted in travelling; sec
Ond. that SIZE did not notify the au-
thOrities Of her intention, in order to
obtain an escort which precaution
even the foreign consUls always take
in travelling in such outlying, insecure
districts of The empire. and. third,
that the brigands who kidnapped Miss
Stone and her companion were Bul9ar-
ians that the coup was planned IN
Bulgaria and that sanctuary vas
found in Bulgarian territory
1t is again rumOred that Nine. Tsilka,
the companion Of Miss Stone, and her
child (born since her capture Oy the
brigands), are dead.

FRANCE MAY HAVE RECEIVED
NEWS FROM CoNSTANTINoPLE.

Paris, Oct. 31.-Late tonight the fol-
lowing dispatch was received from
TOulon:
The complete Mediterranean squad
ron returned to ToulOn this evening
and anchored in the roadstead."
This would indicate that the depar-
ture Of Admiral GaillaiTd'S squadron
has either been counteTmanded or post
pOned. If the dispatch be correct, 1t
would imply that the government has
received news from ConstantinOple
since morning which has not yet been
divulged and which has induced d
change of plan.
It is reported that Admiral Gaillaird
has been ordered to cruise within
reach of a dispatch today for further
instructions, and it is said that the tor
pedO boat HallebaTdO left TOulOn at
full speed during the afternoon to re-
join the squadron.
A dispatch from TOulOn to the Fig
arc confirms the report of the return
Of the entire squadron and adds that
Admiral Gaillaird's division is still held
in readiness to sail at a moments no
tice.
Editorially. the Figaro and other
morning papers express surprise at
this perpiexing and unexplained move
ment after L 'spatch of Admiral
Gainaird to the want had been Of
ficially announced.
The Marseilles correspondent Of lie
Matin SAYS the return was due TO the
fact that the squadron was supplied
with only two days ratiOns.

MOB MAKES
SHORT WORK OF NEGRO

Hodgenville. Ky. Oct. 3f.-A mob of
fifty or seventy-Hve determined citizens
came down upon this little town about
O'Clock this morning and took from
the Jail Silas Esters, a negro. charged
with forcing Granville Ward. a 15-year-
old boy of Near Upton, to commit
crime, and strung him to the court
house steps.
So quietly and Systematically did the
mob go about its work that the citi-
zens of the town were in ignorance Of
the existence of the mob until the ne
gro was in its clutches.
The citizens composing the lynching
party approached the Jail, and upon
their demand the keys were surren-
deTed to them. The cell in which the
negro was confined was entered and
the moose was adjusted about his neck.
He was dragged down the jail stairs
and out into the street. He managed
to slip the moose from his neck and
made a break for liberty. The mob,
crazed with anger made after the ne
gro, bowling and firing at him with
guns and pistols. The negro fell when
about 100 yards from the Jail house,
riddled with bullets
The moose was again placed about
the negros neck and he was dragged
to the court house and swung to the
topmost steps The mob was formed
in the neighborhOod of the crime.
When the work of lynching the negro
had been accomplished the members of
the mob quietly dispersed and went
