cattle have been dying in terrible
agony since, and others are still Sc
riously affected. The owners have
taken steps to sue the construction
company.

MISS STONES CAPTURE
3rigands Surrounded the Mission,
airy in a Narrow Valley.
,tory Told by Missionaries Taken with
Her and Afterward Released-Board
Of Missions to Pay a Ransom.

Boston, Mass.-Detalls Of the recent
capture of Miss Stone, the American
missionary, and one of her helpers. by
brigands in Turkey are made known
in a letter just received here by Inc
American Board of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions. The facts became
known to one Of the missionaries of
the board In Samokoo, European Tur-
key, who were members of the marty
with whom Miss Stone and her assist
ant, Mrs. Tailka, We're travelling when
the capture was made.
They could give no information as
to where Miss Stone and her cOmpan.
ion were taken, as the two women dis.
appeared in the night and the rest of
the party were detained under guard
for a time. Finally the robbers re.
lieyed these eaptives of watches and
other valuables and departed. The
missionaries made their way at once
to Samokoo.
According to the story told by these
victims the capture was made at 4
o'clock In the afternoon On September
8. while Miss Stone and Mrs. Tilka.
the wife of an Albanian preacher,
were travelling with friends from Ban
sko to Djumao. There were fifteen
to eighteen in the party. The bandits
confronted them in n narrow valley
and compelled them to wade a river
and ascend a wood mountain for about
an hour. There appeared to be about
forty brigands, dressed like Turks, but
speaking good Bulgarian.
At length a stopping place was
reached. The next morning Miss
Stone and Mrs. Tailka were missed,
and 1t was apparent that the main
pody of outlaws had departed, leaving
only 4 guard. Later this guard com
oelled the captives to give up their
watches. money and Jewelry, after
which they disappeared up the mount
ain, leaving the missionaries free.
Tie authorities did not learn Of the
capture until nearly tw~enty-fom
hours after it had occurred, and it is
thought this gave ali the chance the
brigands needed to reach a safe hiding
place. 1t Is thought that they may
have entered Bulgaria, and the army
has received special instructions to
guard the border closely and follow up
any traces of the ]marauders which
they may find.

KARTELL NOT A TRUST GOLDRERGER EXPLAINS GER MAN SUGAR COMBINE. Says If the Native Consumers ere Discriminated Against the Foreigners Have No Right
 to Complain.

New York. Nov. 25.-Discussing the re- gently published cables from London re- gsrding the German kartell, Privy N G0nn- imna- rial German Consultative Board Tor Com- mercial Measures. said today:
 Tn the first place, the organization or the German sugar refiners is not a trust, but simply an agreement among them selves for the purpose of controlling the home production and regulating prices, The members of the kartell do not Jose their financial Independence as manufac- turers. The sugar kartell in Germany Is not a secret organization; its existence being a matter of public record at nome and abroad. It has been in existence TOT a number of years, and has been the sub ject of frequent discussion in Chamber of Commerce reports and publicly
 Furthermore. it should be stated that not all the sugar manufacturers belong to the Kartell. True. the Kartell is maintaining prices at home. but tnls only affects the German consumer; the If they have cheap sugar at the expense of the German consumer.
 ssThe figures in the London report are incorrect to great extent. Germany uses for herself about one-half of her production. Home consumption has in- creased. amounting ito l,ll,09I tons Tn 1891, as compared with 1.OOS 466 tons m 1900. For the first nine months of the current year the total export increased, but there has been a decrease in exports to the United States amounting to about $8,0O0,OO0 for the f1rst nlne months or the year as against s12, ,o00,00O for the corre- spending period of last year.
 ''The impending sugar conference Tn Brussels cannot destroy the kartell. The only thing it may accomplish IS to anoi, ish the export bounty, in which 1t did not succeed at the international confer ence of 1888. Belgium and Germany were in favor of the removal of bounties, as also was Austria, with certain reserva- tions, France and in a certain sense Rus sia, expressed themselves as favorable to reduction of export bounties as well France in particular declined to give up her secret bounties under any conditions or to look with favor on any change Of her existing laws. England was on the fence.
 '.In conclusion. I would say that the German sugar Kartell neither endangers the worlds production of sugar. nor that of Cuba and the West Indies. To sneak of the German danger in this case would appear as an exaggeration."
