has returned here from Berlin. and is con-
dnuing his exertfons IN behalf o; Miss
Stone. the kidnapped American missionary.
The Russian Foreign Office is showing SYM
oathy and willingness to assist Mr.. Tower.
He has seen Doctor Dimitri Stancioff. the
Bulgarian representative here. and through
il1m has informed the Bulgarian Govern
ment of the intense interest taken in tie
case in the United States
Mr.. Tower learned through Doctor Stan
cion that the Bulgarisns have gone to the
frontier region where the brigands are sup
posed to be hiding among the population. in
order to surround the brigands more efrec-
lively.
According 10 the latest reports received at
the Embassy. the hrigands are inclined to
surrender to Bulgaria. and It is still hoped.
In view Of Consul General Diclxinson's nego-
tiations. that the life OF Miss Stone will be
saved.

RyPUBLIC SPECIAL
washington. Oct. 1s-Refusal Of the
brigands who abducted Miss Stone to ac-
cept q smaller ransom than they original
ly fixed has led the administration to sus-
pert that they have a representative in
New York. who is advising them by cable
manded. Confident, as a result Of the rep
resentations Of the United States. that they
will not be attacked by either Turkish or
Bulgarian troops the brigands can quietly
and peacefully wait until the ransom has
beea collected and is in the hands Of Mr.
Eddy. secretary Of the American Legation
IN Constantinople, ready for transfer upon
the production OF the captive. The au-
thorlt1ea have been considerably astonished
by the frmness displayed BY the brigands
IN the negotiations Ordinarily, a demand
for ransom il made with the expectation
that . smaller sum win be offered which
will be acceptable.
Tho declination Of the brigands who kid
naped Miss Stone to consider a smaller
ransom than that originally demanded is
an indication Of the strength Of their be-
lief that they will not be attacked, at least
while they have Miss Stone In their pos
session: and It has led to the suspicion
that they have agents who are keeping
them well informed. rs well as to the sug-
gestion that one Of the Governments con-
cernsd b sympatheticslly interested in
their adventure.
