CELLAR FORMS
THE PRISON OF
THE CAPTIVES
Letter Is Received From the
Companion of Miss
Ellen M. Stone.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Oct. 27.-A dispatch to the
Telegraph from Sofia says that travellers
from Bausko state that M. Tsilka lately
received a letter from his wife, who was
abducted with Miss Ellen M. Stone, the
American missionary informing him that
she and Miss Stone are confined in eel
lar under strict guard, which is main
tained by two men. The robbers, she
added, were confident of success and have
ample provisions. No confirmation has
been received Of the recent report that
Nine. Tsilka had died in the hands of
her captors.
"a trustworthy report is in circulation
here" says a dispatch from Sofia to the
Daily Telegraph, that Miss Stone is in
the village of Belitza, close to the from

regarding the efforts to rescue Miss Stone,
the abducted missionary, from the bri-

FINDS SISTER
AFTER SEARCH
OF MANY YEARS
Relatives Long Separated Are
Reunited in a North
ern City.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Wash, Oct. 27.-Charles SEQ
vile, accompanied by his brother-in-law.
E. w. Stevens, two wealthy residents OF
Fresno Cal, have arrived at Whatcom.
The object of their trip was a quest for
Scoville's sister, Mrs. Sarah Lambert.
whom he has not seen since both were
small children near fifty years ago. Their.
birthplace was what is now Seymour.
Conn. When seven years of age Sarah
Scoville was taken from her parents TO
Rock Island County. Ill. Many attempts
were made to find some trace of her, but
all efforts proved futile. During the long
years of separation she never gave up
hope of some day finding her brothers.
At length in 1899 a child's paper CHANGED
to fall into the hands of her daughter
Oracle. 1t contained a letter written by
a little girl describing the Scoville brass
mandatory at Waterbury, Conn. At
once associating the name Scoville with
her mothers and brothers, Oracle wrote
to the other little girl, who replied in due
time.
This investigation proved that the Sco-
villes Of Waterbury were only distant
relatives, but 1t also led to the where
abouts of Sarah Scoville Lambert's three
brothers and aged mother. Mrs. Leverett

BUREAU OF NAVIGATION.

rank. The chances are, therefore, that
the Schley controversy will not end with
the report of the Court of Inquiry 1t
will probably be carried to Congress, to
be fought over there in committee and on
the floor.
A high officer in the army who has had
considerable experience in conducting
courts-martial and courts Of inquiry says
Schley's testimony must necessarily be
accepted with great caution.
"Schleys testimony was different from
that of all the other witnesses" said this
officer. He is the subject of inquiry and
he has been present to hear all the testi-
mony offered. He has been able to COM
pare this testimony and sum up in a gen.
eral denial. Since Schley read most of
his testimony, or his counsel held type
written copy of his testimony to correct
him should he make mistakes, it would
not be unfair to assume that it was pre-
pared with the aid of counsel 1t was
therefore, a summing up of the defense
and an argument rather than testimony.
The only real testimony by Admiral
Schley will be that under cross-examina-
ton.
The court cannot accept Schley's testi-
mony as absolutely reliable, because in
many points it is contradicted by not one
but dozen witnesses, and these were
officers whose conduct never has been
brought into question. The court must
now judge as to how far these witnesses
were credible and how far the admiral,
testifying in his own behalf, shall be re-
garded as reliable witness Flat con-
tradictions make the duty Of the court an
unpleasant one. 1t cannot find Schley
blameless without assuming that a ma
jority of the naval officers called bore
false witness and should be subject to
court-martial."

BREACHES ARCH HERESIES
TO MISSIONARY CONGRESS
Immense Sensation 74sated by the
Utterances Of the Marshal Of
a Russian Province.

ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 27.-An i'm
mense sensation has been created here by
the address with which M. A. Stahko-
vich, Marshal of the province of Orel,
greeted the missionary congress at Orel.
M. Stahkovich boldly preached freedom
of conscience, liberation Of the dis
sidents and other arch heresies with
which mobiles and officials are popularity
supposed not to be tainted. The speech
has been printed by the paper of Prince
Ountomsky, which appears to have more
than common courage and has calle
forth a storm of protest from the ortho-
dox priests to whom he spoke and from
the whole reactionary press. M. Stahko-
vich declared the orthodox faith strong
enough to be eble to dispense with the
police and that it was time to permit ev
erybody to seek and preach salvation
after his own fashion. The present sys-
tenn Of conversion was characterized as
barbarious and worse than useless.

Three thousand manifestants arrived
here to-day, seeking the Intervention of

great meeting was held, which came to a
peaceable conclusion The President re-
ceived a petition from the meeting and
promises that the national Government

LINEMAN HANGS
ALL NIGHT ON
THE LIVE WIRE
Terrible Spectacle Witnessed
in the Vicinity of
Victoria.

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. N-William
Docking, a young and unmarried lineman
in the employ of the British Columbia
Electric Railway Company, met tragic
fate last night. He was at work on the
trunk line which carries the power of the
tramway system from Gold Stream, nine
,,i1as from Victoria and toward evening
he climbed a pole near the Four Mile
House which. as its name indicates, is
fo,,r miles from Victoria. Docking fas-
tened his safety belt, and when he was
accidentally electrocuted by the strong
current which is carried by a heavy wire
to the city he was suspended like high
wavman of old on the gibbet from yes
terday evening until some passers-by
found his dead body hanging from the
wire this morning, and calling assistance
cut down the remains.

LONDON. Oct. 2l.-Reynolds' Weekly

assert that King EDWARD is suffering
from cancer of the throat. In to-day's
issue 1t declared that since the Kings ac-
cession three operations have been per-

moved from the right vocal chord last

proved to be an effective witness before
the public. His dramatic description of
the battle of Santiago was admirable and
his friends are already referring to 1T as
his vindication. But there never has been
any question raised against Schley's con-
duct at the battle of Santiago, except as
to the mischance Of the loop made by the
Brooklyn. Sampson, in his report praised
Schleys conduct at Santiago and left to
the Navy Department the question as to
how far that conduct should wipe out his
"reprehensible conduct preliminary to
the battle Schleys conduct while in
command of the flying squadron is the
subject of inquiry, and the court will pay
little attention to the story of the battle.
The friends of Schley are beginning to
talk about Congressional investigation
in case the report of the court is against
him. They do not propose to accept any
thing short of complete vindication and
they believe that public sentiment will
sustain them in such demand They also
propose to have Congress create the rank
of vice admiral for Schley and have him
restored to the active list to enjoy his

Notwithstanding the belief that Miss

that up to 10 p. m. rescuing parties had
failed to reach Charles Nutting and Will
liam Anderson, the two miners who We're
entombed by cave in the Highland Boy

not known whether the imprisoned men
were dead or alive, their signals having
ceased after midnight last night. Great
difficulty is being encountered in reach

The walls of the tunnel are constantly
crumbling, not only impeding the work
of rescue, but also endangering the lives
