BRIGANDS DEMAND
FULL RANSOM

CONSTANTINOPLE Nov. /. = The
case of Miss Stone has again become
more serious. The brigands are still
holding out for the e25, 900 ransom, and
it feared that should they persist in
their demand Miss Stone will have to be
sacrificed. Nevertheless the negotia-
lions are still proceeding.
Anxiety prevails this evening at the
United States Legation, whence there
has been an active exchange of zAtele-
grams between Secretary Spencer Eddy
and various points. Mr.. Eddy today
had a long conference with Sir Nicholas
O'Connor, the British ambassador here
who is actively assisting in. the efforts
TO bring about Miss Stones release.
SOFIA, Nov. 1.-The best method of
transmitting the ransom demanded by
the brigands for the release of Miss Ell
len NJ. Stone, the abducted American
missionary, and OF assuring the safety
of, the captives, are the matters now en-
gaging the attention of the Samakov
missionaries, who are negotiating with
the kidnappers. 1t is felt that unusual
precautions are necessary in order to
safeguard Miss Stone and the others,
as there undoubtedly is danger that the
captives will be murdered after the ran
som is paid

BODY OF CZOLGOSZ
MAY BE PRESERVED

NEW YORK. October 3L-If the body
of Leon Czolgosz were exhumed tomor-
row 1t would be found well preserved in
/, plaster of paris cast instead of having
been dissolved and disintegrated by the
action of the quickline and vitriol with
which it was covered when inferred in
the prison burial lot at Auburn. 1t had
been determined by Warden Mead and
Superintendent Cornelius Collins to de-
stroy the body so that no trace of the
assassin should remain as a possible in
centive 10 relic hunters. When the body
was inferred layer of quickllme had al
ready been placed in the grave. On this
the coffin, the lid of which had been re-
moved, was laid, and the body was then
covered with two barrels of qu;cklime.
over this carboy of vitriol or sulphuric
acid was poured, two more barrels of
quickliEle was thrown in, and over all
earth was shoveled until the grave was
filled
1t was anticipated that as a result OF
the action of the suphuric acid and
qu:cklime. the body would be dissolved
within twelve hours, but il is improbable
that this has been the case. When quick
lime and sulphuric acid are combined the
chemical result is plaster of paris and
water. 1T is entirely probable that
Czolgosz' body is inclosed in plaster of
paris cast" said Professor Charles f.
Chandler of the College of Physicians
and Surgeons and of the University of
New York tonight. Plaster of paris
would result from the combination of
sulphuric acid and quicklime."

A German Society to Combat Abuse
of Strong Drink.

NEW YORK. Oct. S1.-A dispatch to
the London Times and New York Times
from Berlin, says the Society for Com
batting the Abuse of Spirituous Liquors
has begun conference at Breslau
Baron Won Diergardt said at the con-
ference he believed that alcohol would
one day be universally regarded as an
enemy of civilization, but at present it
was only possible to recommend modera-
ton in its use. Seven hundred and fifty
millions of dollars was yearly spent in
Germany on intoxicating liquors. 1t was
estimated that the average German con-
sumed the equivalent of five glasses of
spirits day.
Baron Won Diergardt added that one
difficulty in the campa lgn was that the
state itself was interested in alcohol. de-
irving, as it did, revenue of $i1, 0J0, coo
from spirits and S25,O00.000 from beer.
One-third of the German exports to To
goland and one-seventh of those to East
Africa consisted of alcohol.
