G0RMAN HAS MARYLAND
LATEST RETURNS SHOW HE CAP
TURED THE STATE LEGISLATURE.
baltimore City Count Dragging Along
and Result May Not BE known
for Two Days.

BALTIMORE, Nov. S.-Almost complete
returns show that Joshua w. Herring,
Dem, state controller, has been elected by
a plurality of 45S votes over Herman S.
Platt Rep Thomas Parran, Rep, has
been elected clerk of the Court of Appeals
by a plurality of 1,25S over ]. Frank Turn
err the Democratic incumbent. In the
counties Mr.. Turner had a plurality of
2,5OS but was defeated in the city. The
official count in Caroline county elects JEFF
ferson, Dem, to the House by a majority
of four in place of Stevens, Rep, who was
represented yesterday to have been elected
by a majority of one. This, however, is
counterbalanced in Kent county by the
election to the House of Kendall, Rep, by
a majority of thirty-one over Johnson,
Dem, heretofore reported elected by ma
jority of five. The official count in the
counties give the Democrats forty-eight
members in the House and the Republicans
twenty-nne. This would enable the Demo-
Gratis TO organize the House, even II the
official count in Baltimore city should show
that the Republicans had elected solid
delegation of eighteen members, which is
no. probable.
The indications that three Demo-
cratic delegates have been elected from
Baltimore city, but at the rate at which the
probably will be two days at least before
a decision is reached. The Senate. accord
ing to the official returns, will stand: Dem
ocrats II; Republicans 9.

Letter from Miss stone, Written I'm
English, That Was Not Censored
by Her Kfdnapers.

PARIS, Nov. S-France has scored a
complete triumph in the Turkish dispute.
The Foreign Office this morning received
advices announcing that the Sultan has
yielded to the entire demands formulated
by the French government and only the
question of form regarding the execution
of the engagement remains to be settled.
This may be done within the next twenty
four hours, or, ii is said, at the latest, in
two or three days. President Loubet pre-
sided to-day at the Cabinet council. The
foreign minister, NJ. Delcasse, announced
that the Porte had just advised him that it
had decided to give satisfaction in thef case
of the various French demands, to which
NJ. Delcasse replied that so soon as the Sui
was communicated to him Admiral Call
lard's squadron would leave the Island of
Mitylene.
The Temps prints a dispatch from Con-
stantinople to-day which says that the Sui
tan, in accepting the French demands.
firstly authorizes the working of the
French schools, hitherto unrecognized: sec
ondly, he recognizes, officially, the exist
ence Of the religious and hospitable insti-
tutions already founded, and accords them
customs immunity and exemption from
certain taxes, and, thirdly he authorizes
the reconstruction of the schools and hos
pitals destroyed at the time of the Armeni-
an troubles, of which a detailed list is at
tached TO the French note. Tewfik Pasha
the Turkish minister, has announced that
the recognition OF the Chaldean patriarch.
demanded by France, already has been ac-
corded.

INSANE WOMEN UNDERFED.
Patients Mt Dunning Asylum Alleged
to Have Been Neglected.

CHICAGO. Nov. S.-Strong evidence to
show that Mrs. Kate Green and Miss May
Shay, attendants at Dunning, had neg
lected and underfed seven insane women
committed to their care at different times
during the last ten years, was presented
to the County Civi-service Commission at
a hearing of the charges against the two
women to-day. Testimony was given to
show that two of the patients died last
September. Immediately after a long course
of underfeeding and neglect. Other teSti-
mony detailed the cases of five women who.
during 1900. had been removed by the ply
sicianS from the same ward, at that time
presided over by Mrs. Green, in order that
they might be placed where they would be
properly nourished. One of these patients,
1T was claimed, had died of scurvy, which
she contracted in the institution or ac-
count of neglect. The trial will be con-
tinued tomorrow.

of the Maccabees. before being released
last July, is still liable for any loss which
the order may have suffered by the defal-
cation. Representatives of the company it
is said. have informed Maccabees officials
that the loss will be paid. Therefore it is
now probable that Thompson will be ar
rested tomorrow. This was indicated to-
night from a talk with officials of the or
der. and the arrest will come as a result
o. the conference to-day with the trustees
and representatives of the bonding COM
pany.
The heaviest loss is said to fall upon the
Maryland Fidelity Company. as Thomp-
sons defalcations since August. when the
National Surety Company assumed the
risk were comparatively small. 1t was an
nOunced to-day that Thompson's shortage
was $50 600 instead of S57.OoO All the details
concerning the settlement are in the hands
of the bond companies. and orders are be-
ing awaited from headquarters. In rela-
tion 10 the Maryland Fidelity Company S

assumed the bond of Thompson a clause
was inserted in the bond providing that IL
a defalcatiOn was discovered within six
months from the release the company
would be held liable. Ii was intimated to-
night that the company had notified the
Maccabees officials that the loss would be
paid.

LETTER FROM MISS STONE.


SOFIA, Bulgaria, November s-The gov
ernment last night caused the arrest of a
man who was visiting United States Consul
General Dickinson and searched him. pre-
sumably thinking he was an emissarv Of
the brigands and expecting 20 seize a COM
munication from or TO Miss Ellen Stone the
American missionary. The man was subse-
quently released. This action of the author
ities was. seemingly. a deliberate attemnt
to frighten delegates who might visit Mr.
Dickinson and thus prevent negotiations
from taking place in Bulgarian territory
The attitude of the authorities hampers Mr.
Dickinson. as the brigands refuse TO treat
In Turkey.
Mr. Dickinson, in his reply to Miss Stones
letter. urged the brigands TO still further
reduce their demands and accept the
amount subscribed. in view of the deterrni-
nation of the government not 10 contribute
toward the ransom. and the impossibility of
taking further subscriptions. 1t is believed
the brigands will agree TO this as they are
now beginning 10 feel hard-pressed and
want money for current expenses. such as
bribery OF officials, peasants and others.
The letter insists that the surrender OF the
prisoners must precede or be simultaneous
with the payment. but leaves the question
OF the place open.

CALLAHAN AT LIBERTY
ALLEGED KIDNAPER FOUND NOT
GUILTY OF PERJURY.
Second Trial of One of the Men Who
Was Believed to BE Implicated
in the Cudahy Affair.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. S.-The jury i'll the
case of James Callahan, after being out
thirty-six hours, brought in a verdict to-
night finding the defendant not guilty, and
the prisoner was discharged. This is the
latest chapter Of the mystery surrounding
the KIDNAPPING of Eddie Cudahy son of e.
A. Cudahy, the millionaire packer, and
this is the second time Callahan has been
acquitted of the kidnapping charge. Gala
han was first tried about nine months ago
on a charge of robbery, there being no stat
ute in Nebraska making kidnapping a vio-
lation of the law. Acquitted of this charge,
Callahan was then tried on charge of
perjuring himself in the robbery trial.
Callahan said tonight, after the verdict
was given, that when he was able to work
he would probably secure a position in
South Omaha, and that he had several
offers He said it would take him some
time to recover from the effects of nine
months imprisonment
1t has Deen remarked that there is now
little to prevent Pat Grove from coming
to Omaha The evidence which Gala
han has been tried would probably prevail
in case of Grove being tried on the same
charges, and County Attorney Shields to-
night gave it as mis- opinion that Grove
would return.
