BOSTON, Oct. 3.-Rev Judson Smith,
foreign secretary of the American foreign
missions, in behalf of his executive COM
mlttee, prompted by numerous inquiries
and criticisms, has issued the following
official statement in connection with the
abduction of Miss Stone:
The American board from the first
has done and is still doing everything in
its power to secure the release of Miss
II. Stone from the hands of her captors
in Bulgaria at the earliest possible date
Miss Stone is an American citizen and
rightfully looks to our government for
protection and release. The American
government took up the case instantly
and is making every effort to deliver
Miss Stone. For obvious reasons the de-
tails of negotiations carried on by our
government are not made public and can
not be made public for the present
There is perfect understanding between
the board and the authorities at Wash
1ngton. The personal friends of Miss
Stone may rest assured that no efforts
are being spared that promise her safe
and early release and there is reason to
hope for happy issue of this deplorabIe

A Secret Combination Called the "Karteli"
Keeps Up the Prices ut Home. the Ter

the same Article After 1t Is Imported.

London, Nov. 23.-The British sugar
magnates assert that their investiga-
tons have revealed the existence in
Germany of great trust called the
"Kartell," which has been in existence
about year and it is chiefly owing
to its agency that sugar has been
forced down to its lowest point in
the history of the industry and that
Germany is enabled to dictate to the
world the price of that commodity.
The magnitude of its operations sup
plies the missing factors in the pres
ent alarming condition of the sugar
market. The abolition of this organ
ization will be one of the chief objects
of the nations other than Germany
attending the Forthcoming Brussels
conference. The latest figures avail
able in London show that Germany
now produces one-third of the worlds
supply of beet sugar, of which she
exports no less than l,250,000 tons
after completely supplying her own
population. These exports, which
are almost one-ffth of the worlds
available supply, are sent out at a
loss to German manufacturers, but
thanks to the "Kartell" plus the
bounty, they are able not only to
make up for this, but to reap a
handsome profit in addition to gain
ing absolute control of the sugar
market. The "Kartell' is run very
secretly. but it consists of an IRON
clad combination of almost all pro-
ducers and refiners to keep up the
price of sugar in Germany. This is
done so successfully that German
consumers pay thrice as much for
sugar as the Briton does for the same
article imported from Germany.

London, Nov. 23.-The nationalists
disclaim any intention of exposing
Col. Lynch to arrest and trial for trea-
sen by insisting upon his attendance
at Westminster. They have elected
the Boer warrior as defiant method
of making themselves as disagreed
BILE as possible, and incidentally have
dispatched n member of the ministry
responsible for the policy of killing
off home rule by kindness, for Mr..
Plunkett will be forced to resign his
Office after this second defeat. The
Irish party has scored twice from its
own point of view and is satisfied. It
will not risk a government counter
stroke in the arrest of Lynch, nor is
it possible to smuggle him into the
commons and enable him to take the
oath without observation. Lawyers
agree that Col. Lynch will be prose-
cuted as soon as he arrives on British
soil and that the oath must be adj
ministered in the presence of the
commons.
