IN MISS STONES BEHALF.
State Department Is Exerting Every
Effort to Save Life of Missionary.

State Department Is Exerting Every
Effort to Save Life of Missionary.
Washington, Oct. S.-Not since the
successful attempt to save the life of
John Hays Hammond, the American
engineer, implicated in the Jameson
raid, has the State Department put
forth such energetic efforts to save a
hale OF Miss Stone, the American MIS-
sionary who was captured by Bulga-
rian bandits. A sum of money has
been forwarded by cable to Spencer
Eddy, the United States secretary of
legation, at Constantinople, who has
shown remarkable energy and ability
in unearthing the ramifications of the
plot which resulted in the kidnaping
of Miss Stone. There is little doubt
that the Turkish government has done
all that it could be expected TO do to
run down the bandits, and what is
now to be done is to secure similar
action on the part of the Bulgarian
government, and to that end inf1u-
ences more potent with the Slav races
than that of the United States govern
ment are now at work. Should These
measures fail, then the ransom money
must be paid and that is why Mr..
Eddy has been placed in possession OF
this powerful auxiliary. The officials
refuse to give any information con-
corning the case, beyond the merely
negative statement that they have not
been informed of the reported exten-
sion to one month of the time allowed
for the ransom of Miss Stone.

THE AMENDMENT NOT ADOPTED.
Vote of Nebraska wrongly Recorded
in House of Deputies.


in House of Deputies.
San Francisco, Oct. s.-The result of
the protracted debate in the Episcopal
house of delegates. which ended yes
terday in the apparent adoption of the
proposed addition to article 10 of the
new constitution, providing for form
of service I not strictly in accordance
with the prayer book, was nullified
this morning by the correction of
clerical error. The change of the vote
of Nebraska, which had been incor-
rectly entered in the record, resulted
in the defeat of the amendment, great
ly to the surprise of many, who had
not considered the fact that major
ity of the dioceses voting it necessary
to carry a measure, and that the vote
of divided delegations virtually counts
among the nays. Although the defeat
of this much-debated measure, COM
monty known as the Huntington
amendment. was apparently accom-
plished by the changing of the err
roneously recorded vote of Nebraska,
a we'll informed deputy said 1t was
really due to the division of the vote
of California.
This diocese voted yea at first, but
afterward a belated deputy came in

ing the entire vote of the diocese un-
der the head of divided, and making
it possible for the correction of a cler-
ical error to entirely change the final
result.

majority report of the committee
was made that it was not prepared to
make any recommendation on the
memorials from Milwaukee and Colo
RADIO that the name of the church as
1t appears on the title page of the pray
er book be changed.
A minority report was presented rec
ognizing that a constitutional amend
ment would 'be required and asking
that the whole matter be referred to a
special committee to be appointed by
the chair.
The committee further reported
recommendation that the house con-
cur in the action of the bishops provid-
ing for marginal readings. also that
they could not advise the authorization
of the use of the revised version in
reading the lessons.
]. P. Morgan presented memorial
from the church clubs of New York
and other cities in regard to a bishop
ric in the Philippine Islands.
The triennial report of the trustees
of the general clerical relief fund was
presented. 1t recommends the junction
of the several diocesan funds of a sim
liar character with the general fund.
Twenty dioceses have already moved
in that direction.
After consideration of article of the
constitution the House took up the pro-
vision for the use of the marginal
readings. Before a vote was reached
the House adjourned until tomorrow.

new CANAL TREATY
A GUARDED STATEMENT GIVEN
OUT AT WASHINGTON.
NEITHER SIDE GIVES IN.
BASED ON PRINCIPLES OF CLAY
TON-BULwER TREATY.

But the Neutrality of the Canal Is
to Be Guaranteed and Preserved
by the United States Only, England
Being "ReIievedv of This "Trou-
hIesome" Duty-In other Words
II VIII De an American Canal.
Amendments to- Hay-Pauncefote
Treaty Are Embodied i'm Substance.
Washington, Oct. S-Tnere has been
no surrender by England to the United
States in the matter of the new 18TH
mian canal treaty. according to the
best authority here. 1t is said to be
equally true that the United States has
sacrificed no principle in these negotia-
tions, and the effect of contrary state
ments is deprecated as likely seriously
to jeopardize the chances Of consum-
nation OF the convention, which shall
finally and peacefully settle an issue
that has been a source of danger for
the past fifty years.
1t is said that what has actually hap
pened is that each side has preserved
the underlying principle of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, and the new convention
will provide for a new waterway, neu-
trail at all times, and open to the COM
merce of the world. The Clayton Bull
wer treaty, however, drawn half CEN
tury ago, has proved to be defective in
mechanism for giving effect to this
purpose. The new treaty simply pro-
vides this mechanism. England is re-
lieved from the guarantee, which, in
her case was only troublesome, and
which, being assumed by the United
States in toto. is quite as effective. AS
viewed from the American point of
view even, there was no surrender on
England's part in seeking this relief,
inasmuch as the above mentioned prin-
ciple is reiterated and affirmed as bind
ing upon the United States. AS for the
form of the treaty, it may be stated
that it embodies in substance the
amendments to the Pauncefote
treaty, which were adopted by the
Senate, and, beyond that. the changes
are believed to be textual rather than
substantial.

Many Hours-streets Flooded, but
No Serious Damage Done.

MED by wind, which blew forty-two
miles an hour at 1880 a. m, from the
east. The streets were inundated and
street car traffic stopped, all business
being practically suspended. The ac-
tual financial damage cannot be es-
timated at this time, but 1t is not be-
lieved to be heavy. Some of the build
ings on the Strand were partially
flooded by water backing over the
streets. The tide was only two feet
above normal and there was no salt
water in the streets. The rain was To-
cal, extending along only a portion OF

ANXIETY FOR MISS STONE.


Hartford, Conn, Oct. S.-An interest
ing feature of the opening session of
the American board of commissioners
for foreign missions was the response
by DR.. Capen, president of the board,
to the address of welcome. In his re-
sponse DR.. Capen said:
1--WE are in great anxiety over the
fate of Miss Stone, so greatly beloved,
who is to-day in the hands of the ban
dts with the sentence of death hang
ing over her. 1t is a comfort in our
tears to know that our government is
doing everything that is possible to be
done for her rescue. The President has
made this his own case. If Miss Stone
were a member of his own family he
could hardly put more heart or more
energy into it. Every power of diplo
macy is being used for her rescue. We
must thank God that when President
Mckinley fell there is in President
Roosevelt another man of God who
will see that American missionaries
under the Stars and Stripes shall have
the fullest possible protection"
At the evening session DR.. Capen
read a long report on the Stone case,
giving a history to date.

San Francisco. Oct. S.-The feature
of to-day's sessions of the triennial
Episcopal Convention was the recon-
sideration and defeat of what is known
as the Huntington amendment to the
constitution, which was adopted by the
house of deputies yesterday, providing
for the use of modified forms of wor-
ship by congregations willing to accept
the spiritual oversight of a bishop. An
error was discovered in recording the
vote of the Nebraska delegation, which
had been entered in favor of the
amendment, whereas a poll of the
members showed that they were OPP
posed to the measure.
This led to a demand for recon-
sideration of yesterdays vote. The
vote on reconsideration resulted as
follows: Aye, clerical, %; lay, 1S; no.
clerical, 80; lay, IL. Divided, clerical,
10; lay, s. The united vote Of thirty
delegates of each order being requlr-
ed, the amendment was defeated.
Article of the proposed constitu-
tional amendment was taken up by
the House of Deputies and defeated
after a brief debate. 1t provided for
several changes in the manner of Gre
ating new dioceses. A general mission
airy mass meeting was held at the
Mechanics Pavilion tonight. The
attendance was estimated at 10000.
The music was provided by a vested
choir of 1000 men and boys. After
simple service of prayer, addresses
