present from many states and they are
fine body of young men and women.
one feature about the army post
troubles of Des Moines that is causing
more or less CONSERVATION among those
who are on the inside is the meeting OF
the new army post board in Washington
which is called for Nov %. This board,
mention Of which has been made in this
correspondence before, has received
sicant attention in Des Moines, where
its nature has beer little understood
Those Who are in a position to under
stand the methods Of working sucn
thinga say that the real purpose of the
board is TO secure the abolition of lot
of old army posts and particularly TO
put a quietus on the political schemes
by which the Des Mones post was se-
cured. The ostensbie purpose of the
board 10 to make general recommenda-
tions but this may go 40 far as to IN
clude the abandonment of old posts ana
refusal to so ahead with the construc-
ton of new ones. This is the reason
that Des Moines people who are anxious
for the post to be erected here have
been urging haste in the matter. II
work should actually be commenced on
the post they feel that the army board
would not dare to put d stop to it, but
so long as no work is done the army
post must be considered only as pos
sbility.

ed body representing the commercial or
ganizations of New York. Boston, Buff
falo, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Indianapolis.
and Cincinnati called upon the presi-
dent today to urge the Importance of
reciprocity with Canada. The president
received the delegation cordially, say
ing he did not need to be reminded of
the question, to which he had given
much thought and attention. He said
he did not think it proper for him to
express a preference for reciprocity
with any particular country; that the
whole subject was being canvassed and
he hoped something would be done at

WOULD REBUILD WEST POINT.
Board Of Visitors Urges Construction
Of New Military Academy.

Board OF Visitors Urges CONSTRUCTION
Of New Military Academy.
Washington, D. c., Nov. 13.-The
most important feature of the report
OF the board of visitors to the West
Point Military Academy is recm-
fnendation that the academy be rebuilt.
The report says;
TT has been nearly 100 years since
West Point was founded, and from the
birth of the institution nearly all the
improvements have been on the patch
work plan.
.aThere is only one building con-
structed by the government at the post
that is in harmony with this day and
generation. All the others are old,
uncomfortable and entirely inadequate
Ito meet present conditions. Few of
them are equipped with any of the con-
veniences to be found in the average
public building in the country districts
{ OF many of the states.
1t can be truthfully said that there
is a pressing necessity for complete
tearing down and a new building up.
The policy pursued in this regard at
Annapolis should be speedily adopted
at West Point. Nothing can be gained
by postponement. Indeed, it seems to
the board that almost every dollar
spent in the future for enlarging here
and altering the patching there is so
much money thrown away.
The enlarged duties and responsible
tiles of the military, as related to the
recently enlarged sphere of American
influence and power, is such as not only
to justify but force congress to proper
recognition of the demands Of the mil
: itary academy.
Putting the matter IN few words
1t can be truthfully said that the bar
racks in which the cadets sleep and
study and live. when not In recitation
room or on the drill ground. are the,
average county's poorhouse. In many
! Of the rooms three cadets are crowded.

HAeeLE ovER RANSOM.
Delay in Making Terms With erisands
is Exasperating.

Sofia, Nov. 13.-Now that United
States Consul General Dickinson has
finally opened negotiations with the
brigands, after wasting six precious
weeks In disclosing the weakness OF the
Bulgarian government, he Is certain to
meet with serious enbarrassments
which man OF his experience will find
it difficult to remove The Bulgarian
government is more anxious to escape
responsibility and to protect the Mace
DOMAIN committee than to rescue Miss
Stone.
The brigands have already given Mr.
Dickinson notice that the negotiations
must be concluded and the ransom paid
on Turkish territory, where the outrage
occurred.
BY this subterfuge they expect to
keep the Bulgarian government out OF
the record and to protect it from liza
bility.
The bandits do not trust Mr.. Dickin-
son, and he has no confidence in them.
The bandits fear that he will not only
refuse to pay the ransom, but that he
may have them arrested when they ap-
pear for the money should they surren-
der their hostage before the money is
paid.
1t will be necessary to find some in
termediary In whom the bandits have
confidence This should be easy enough,
as Pastor Popoff minister of the Prot
estant church in Sofia enjoys the conf
dence of everybody here. He is a ma
tive of Banisko. the town from which
Miss Stone started the morning she was
captured. He is personally known to
everybody in this region.
Mr.. Popoff was educated in the
United States at Fredonia, Hamilton
College and Auburn Theological Sem
mary and is well known in America.
The Bulgarian government trusts him.
Mr.. Dickinson could not find better
man.
II Mr.. Dickinson would send Pastor
Popoff to Dubnitza or Djuma in Turk
ish territory with $4,000 in gold there
would be no doubt of Miss Stones re-
lease, but Mr.. Dickinson has more con-
fidence in himself than in anybody
else.
The brigands are trying to bolster up
a reputation for honesty with him. One
of the leading Bulgarian merchants of
Sofia today sought a gentleman whom
he supposed to be In the confidence Of
the American consul general, and after
having admitted that he was familiar
with the character and customs OF the
brigands, said:
Miss Stones captors are honorable
men and will keep their word. While
on the road they abstain from wine and
keep appointed fasts of the church.
They will not harm the prisoners.
Except when betrayed or deceived. they
treat their captives with kindness and
respect and even stand respectfully
in their presence. When Miss Stone
has been liberated she will tell how
kind and respectful her captors have
been. True brigands are always honest
men"
This is the universal testimony. 1t is
also certain that the abductors of Miss
Stone are no ordinary desperadoes but
men of standing in the community and
influential in Macedonian affairs.
Berlin, Nov. 13.-The Cologne Gazette
today contains dispatch from Sofia
saying it is feared that Miss Stone was
murdered owing to the delay in the pay
ment of the ransom.
