BISHOP POTTER
 ADVISES LABOR
THERE SHOULD BE A MUTUAL UNI OUTSTANDING BETWEEN EM. FLOWERS AND THEIR HEEP-A
 COMMON TIE OF BROTHERHOOD.

San Francisco. October 1.-Bishop Pot ter of New York was the principal speak, CT at meeting of the Church Association for the Advancement of Labor, held at the Alhambra theater last night. Biskop Potter said in part:
 we will never solve the question of labor until the organizing minds and the guiding hands and employing manalAers are identified with the unions with which the employees are identified There should be a mutual understanding between em- ployers and their help, and both should be animated by common tie of brother hood and fealty."
 Bishop Potter spoke of the operations of the Board of Mediation and Cancellation of New York, of which eh Is president. He said the board came into being with- out authority and added that that wal the reason probably why he was chosen as its president. The board. was in ex- istence some ten years and had settled a number of momentous labor disturb ances The operations of the board were conducted on the principle that nothing tangible could be accomplished If the question of social contact was ignored
 In conclusion. he said: 'The laborer and employer must be brought closer to- gether. You may legislate as you please, impose taxation as you pleased or by any other process readjust the conflicting ele- ments of modern society. but if you have not your heart in the work. you will fall utterly. The solution of the labor prob lem consists in the wanting in heart of the employer of deep concern for the well fare of those who are in his employ. Their aims and hopes should not be antayonis- tic. They should mingle together and ob serve the laws of social contracts. Their aims being identical. their methods should be harmonious, if these aims are to be subserved"

Hunting the erIaands.

New York, Oct. 11.-Tnree battalions of the sixth Bulgarian infantry marched through the country between Dubinitza and Samakov and searched the villages in Rilokosters districts. in one of which 1t was reported the brigands had concel- ed Miss Stone, says the Sofia correspon- dent of the Journal and Advertiser. Col onel Geschoff at the head of searching party composed of 300 Bulgarian infantry and 800 dragons. is securing the range of Dospat and the Rhodopegebirgen.
 The American counsel general at Con- stantinople has arrived at Sofia with an evangelical pastor from Philippopolis and dragoman, and both are taking euer- getic steps with the Bulgarian govern ment to effect Miss Stones release.
 The reputed leader of the gang who killed Stambouloff has met his fate. Sns- pected of being associated in the capture of Miss Stone. he was shot dead on the near Kostendit. Though f1000 reward had been placed on the head of the murderer of Stambouloff,i Hallo, the name under which he was known. was too influential ruffian for the Bulgarian police to arrest.
 Four additional brigands have been captured near Tschepino. and a band of twenty, fully armed. were discovered near Dubnitza and driven into the noun tain again.

The Sultan Responsible.

London, October u.-After detailing the history of the abduction of Miss Stone. the Spectator remarks:
 President Roosevelt and the Washing- ton Cabinet maintain justly that the Sul- tan is responsible as it is his misgovern- ment which provokes and protects brig andage and they intend to demand reparatfon from the Porte. It will not be limited, we imagine to 42h000. The Porte will be required to punish the authors of the outrage and as Turkey Is sure to shuffie and as America Is tired of being played with, a naval demonstration is quite likely on the cards. The Sultan of course will yield to the first show of force"
 'The United States legation here," says dispatch from Constantinople to the Daily Telegraph, have received informs tion which they withhold of some -ex- pected developments in the Stone affair. On Tuesday it was supposed an attempt would be made to capture the band; but nothing has been heard since Monday when MT. Haskell reached SamafSov He is not provided with funds but has been empowerd to arrange the lowest terms.
 ''The attempts to capture the band have made the brigands shy of future traps, thus rendering negotiations difficult Such tactics are severely criticized here. The brigands may, in revenge. kill their cap- tive. Moreover, the feet that no money was produced on the first demand may cause the brigands to mutilate Miss Stone as a warning
