CRIMINAL COURT.

Charles Permitted to Plead
Guilty to Petit Larceny;Other Mat
ters.
In the Criminal Court yesterday the
case of State VS.. Charles Donoyin was
on trial. Donovin was indicted for
felonously breaking the windows in
Shelf Bros jewelry store and stealing
several articles of jewelry therefrom.
When Donovin was brought into court,
with the consent of the prosecution he
plead guilty to petit larceny. This was
permitted on account of Donovia's past
good record and the knowledge that he
Is a victim of drink and not really a
criminal. Judge Hugus looked into
the evidence in the case and deferred
sentence.
Maud Smith plead guilty to two in
dictments for selling liquor without
license and one charge of conducting
a house of i'll fame. Sentence was de-
ferred. This house is located near the
public high school, and this is one of
the reasons for the prosecution. 1t is
understood that the woman will be re-
quired to close the establishment on
account of it's location.
Judge Hugus appointed DR.. w. C.
Etzler, A. l.. Bauer and James Beans
a committee to make the annual In
spection of the county jail.

ment Of business reports are cheerful
and the outlook for a good spring re-
tail turnover is encouraging. There is
little difficulty over collections in any
direction and the mercantile demand
for money from numerous quarters is
proof of the confidence felt among
manufacturers and jobbers. The labor
situation is more tranquil. Mining diff
flculties in the soft coal region are
settled and sober counsels seem to
have prevailed among anthracite min
ers.
Aside from the expected advance in
structural shapes there is comparative
steadiness in iron and steel. After

NEWS FROM MISS STONE.
Consul General Dickinson Reports
Receipt of Another Letter
from Captive Missionary.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Consul Gen
eral Dickinson, from Sofia. reports to
the state department by cable the re-
ceipt by him of another letter from
Miss Stone. as already noted in the
press dispatches of Friday night. He
quotes Miss Stone AIS saying: eve are
still we'll in spite of all our hardships.~
There are other matters treated in
the letter which it is not deemed wise
to publish. Mr.. Dickinson complains
constantly OF attempts to interfere
with the line of communication he is
seeking to establish with the brigands.
Although no explanation is afforded
by him as to the reasons for this in.
reference, il Is believed here that the
Bulgarian authorities are seeking to
pave the way for denial of RESPONSE
bility for an indemnity, by exhibiting
unnecessary activity in the pursuit of
any persons who might be supposed to
be able to inform them of the where
abouts of Miss Stone.
Notwithstanding the difficulties
which are daily encountered by the
state department l. its efforts to reach
Miss Stone, the belief is strong among
the officials that in the near future
they will succeed in securing her re-
lease. 1t is true, as reported from
Constantinople, that the principal is
sue is one of the amount of ransom
to be paid and this delays the negotia-
lions, for the brigands. fully aware OF
the exact amount of money at the dis
posal of the United States agents in
Turkey, are holding back evidently in
the hope of having that amount in
creased by further subscriptions.

ecutive departments will be in favor

CONDITIONS N TUIBLA
Report Of Commandant Tilley on
Affairs in Our New Island
Possession.
FORM OF GOVERNMENT VERY POPULAR.
He Says the Natives Are Gentle, Kind
and Simple-Mindcd Two of the
Conditions Which Need Reforms
Are Noteworthy = Entire Work
Summed Up.

Washington, Nov. 11.-While Com
mander Benjamin F. Tilley, com
mandant of the United States naval
station at Tutuila, Samoa, was in
Washington recently he submitted to
Secretary Long his annual report
upon affairs and conditions in this
island possession.
Commander Tilley says that the
Tutuilans are gentle, kindly, sim
ple-minded people, and that the form
of government instituted by the
United States has proven very popu-
lar with them. He recounts the nu-
merous improvements in the. system
of self-government which have been
suggested to the people and eagerly
agreed to by them.
Conditions Which Need Reform.
Two of the conditions which need
ed reform We're noteworthy. Every
once in awhile, says Commander
Tilley. a whole village would make
up its mind to go on "melanga," or
visiting party. All work would be
abruptly stopped and all ages and
sexes would start out on wan
dering holiday The spirit of hospi-
tality, he says, is cultivated to an ex-
IRENE among the natives, and at
every village visited by the rovers
the hosts felt it their bounden duty
to entertain lavishly. The visiting
party would stay at one village just
as long as their entertainers could
provide. food for them. When sup
plies ran out they babe hasty adieus
and moved on to the next village to
be "entertained." Commander TIL
ley says that there was never time
that a "melanga" was not in prog
ress somewhere in the island.
Another custom was the bestow-
ing of presents of great value at
weddings and other ceremonies, a
practice which was carried to such
excess that a single wedding often,
impoverished whole village. Both
of these practices were stopped, upon
the suggestion of Commander Tilley,
by the natives themselves.
Summing up the work of the year
in Tutuila, Commander Tilley says
that an organized and successful gov
eminent has been blished, which
keeps the people quiet and happy, and
is helping them materially in their
journey along the pathway toward
complete civilization.

SYMPATHETIC WELCOME
Admiral Caillard Tells of His Re-
ception by Inhabitants
of Mitylene.
THE EATlsE loRANuo CLAIM is PAID.
A. Soon as NJ. Delcasse Receives An
nouncement That the Sultan Has
Signed Trade Squadron Will BE In
structed to Leave Island - What
Yielding shows.

Paris. Nov. 11.-Admiral Caillard has
telegraphed particulars of the seizure
of the customs at the principal port
of the island of Mitylene. He says
that in consequence of the sympa-
thetic welcome extended to his squad
ron he landed only single company
of. marines, who were received with
marked confidence by all the inhabit-
ants.
Telegraphic communication be-
tween Constantinople and Mitylene is
now restored. The latest dispatch
from NJ. Bapst, councillor of the
French legation at Constantinople,
notifies the French government that
the porte has handed him the drafts
on the customs covering the entire
Lorando claim, and payable monthly
from February, 1902, to May /, 1908.
The foreign minister, M. Delcasse,
has not received the announcement
that. the SULTAN has signed the trade
executing his engagements. So soon
as it arrives cable dispatch will be
sent to Admiral Caillard, iastructing
him to leave the island Of Mitylene.
Effect of su1tan's WELDING.
New York, Nov. 11..The sultan's
yielding to the French demands brings
out the full gravity of the possibilities
of the effect of the French seizure of
Mitylene upon the crumbling ediflce
of Turkish despotism. says the Con-
stantinople correspondent of the
World. The whole Of European Tur-
key is seething with disorder. In Ar
menia the annual butcheries have been
in full swing for the past three months
and in the remainder of the empire
there is the perennial violence, corrup-
ton, waste and lawlessness. From the
army down to the magistracy every
part of the machine of government is
in a. hopeless condition. In the opinion
of the diplomatic body at Constanti-
nople, any attempt at patching things
up will be merely futile effort. The
news Of the French Intervention was
suppressed at Constantinople for
three days, but the sultan's cabinet be-
ing in constant session showed that
serious crisis had arisen. The sultan
fury, and his ministers, who live in per-
petual terror Of their lives at his
hands, were helpless and afraid to do
or suggest anything. 1T is believed in
Constantinople that Russia is behind
France in this business, and it is felt
that the present trouble is inevitably
destined TO lead to developments in
the eastern question in which England
will be powerless to make her influ-
enee felt.
