of EscapIng Gas.

Across the street from the Kenmore Ho-
tel. where Ayres met DEATH Patrick ]. Sulli-
van, painter and decorator, was overcome
by gas in his room Sunday night Last
night he died at the Casualty Hospital, a
victim of u supposed accident. His death
will be the subject of an enquiry today by
Coroner Ncvitt, who may decide upon an
inquest.
In good spirits. healthy, and cheerful.
Sullivan retired as usual Sunday night.
He occupied 4 room at the home of Miss
Virginia Hansford. 2i1 North Capitol
Street. In his room was small gas stove,
egal gas burners. II was cold Sunday
night. Sullivan evidently lighted his lit
tie stove TO heat the room. He lighted an
other burner at this time and then seems
TO have jumped into bed, having previ-
ously removed his clothes. 1t is supposed
he intended 10 read for awhile, and thus
engaged, he fell asleep.
Ne thought OF danger came to the sleep
ing man. In the night time the gas burner
continued to burn. lighting the room. For
a time the stove also burned, as the flow
of gas passed through a tube from the
burner 10 Hnlcn IL was attached. suddenly
the tube parted under the strain of its
own weight. No one was awake and the
gas began to pour out of the broken tube
into the room. The windows were down,
the door was closed. Sullivan slept on
The room became full of gas. The sleeper
in the bed breathed this in, and his life
ebbed away.
Morning came, and Miss Belle Hansford
descended the stairs from her own room
TO the breakfast already prepared. She
passed the room of Sullivan. From cracks
in the door she fancied she detected the
odor OF escaping gas, while over the
transom came light from the burning gas
jet. Miss Hansford went below and in
formed her sister. Then Mr. Nawk, pro-
prietor of the Avon. nearby, was called in.
He sent for the police.
Policeman Gordon entered the room of
Sullivan filled with gas and found the
sleeper nearly dead Sullivan was re-
moved to the hospital, where he finally

BULGARIA MAKES REPLY.
VIII Recognize the Messengers Au-
thorized by MIR. Dickinson Only.

SOFIA, Nov. 19-An official statement
has been issued here in explanation OF
the relations of the Bulgarian Govern
ment and Mr.. Dickinson. the special dip
lomatic agent of the United States, who
is trying to secure the release of Miss
Ellen Stone, the American missionary
captured by brigands several months ago.
The statement says 1t is not entirely
correct to say that Mr.. Dickinson sent a
note to the Bulgarian Government to the
effect that it would be held responsible
for the abduction. Mr. Dickinson COM
planned that mis- messengers, who were
sent to the brigands, were interfered
with.
To this the Foreign Office replied that
the messengers would be recognized IL
their names we're communicated to the
Government, but hitherto this has not
been done. In the future the Government
would prosecute everybody who attempted
to communicate with the bandits except
those whose names have previously been
sent in.
The circular concludes that IL the
brigands entered, Bulgaria the Govern
ment would do its duty"
