GERMAN CRISIS DISCUSSED.
Disgraceful Frauds Said to Have
 Been Common.

New York, Oct. n.-Says the Berlin cor respondent of The Journal Of Commerce'
 Germany is undoubtedly going through it's saddest economic experience since the Empire was founded. The well grounded pride with which German business men have hitherto contemplated their excel- lent reputation abroad for commercial honor has suffered a most severe blow. The Frankfurter Zeitung admits in re- cent market review that In no similar period of business depression in Germany have so many cases of disgraceIul frauds and common swindling" been ex- posed However. it Is felt here that the sensational char acter of many of the dis- asters of the past year have given foreign observers an exaggerated impression or the state of things prevailing in Germany; not only that these disasters have created A false view as to the average of German business integrity, but that they have magnified unduly the proportions of the German crisis as seen from abroad. IL IS pointed out that Germany has total or about $500 joint stock companies and that the number of companies that have failed or gotten into financial difficulties consti- ute but a slight proportion Of the whole Still the bourse views the situation very pessimistically. Besides the many unfa- vorable factors in the situation itself, additional uncertainty comes from the tariff agitation. Business men do not know what will be their condition under the new tariff law which goes into enect January, 1904.
 The great crisis in the German iron industry, for example. is chiefly due to the fact that all consumers Of pig iron committed the vast folly at the height or inc boom of placing contracts for iron several years in advance. and at the high prices then prevailing Many of the cap | italists that have recently gotten them selves into financial difficulties brought on these difficulties by excessive expan- sion.
 After the present crisis Is over an in- teresting chapter can be written upon | the intimate relations of the German banks with industrial capitalists. The
 taunty confidence with which all foreign
 criticism of the system was dismissed
 here up to a year ago has certainly given nIace to a more reticent attitude among dnanciers, and they are now much more

A NEW DEVELOPMENT.
Just What It is Is Being Withheld
 from the Public.

London, Oct. 1.-The United States legation here," says a dispatch from Con- stantinopIe to The Daily Telegraph. have received information which they with hold, of some expected developments in the Stone affair. On Tuesday it was sup posed an attempt would be made to cap ture the band, but nothing has been heard since Monday, when MT. Haskell reached samakoff. He is not provided with funds. but has been empowered to arrange the lowest terms.
 "The attempts to capture the band have made the brigands shy of future traps, thus rendering negotiations difficult Such tactics are severely criticised here. The brigands may, in revenge, kill their captive. Moreover, the fact that no mon- ey was produced on the first demand may cause the brigands to mutilate Miss Stone as a warning"

sTERNBERG IS coNTRADIcTED.
Anti-Canteeners Say His Statements
 Are Incorrect.

Pittsburg, Oct. 1.-The members of the permanent committee on temperance of the Presbyterian General Assembly do not take kindly to the annual report of Surgeon General Sternburg. In it he de- clares Military officers may be said to be unanimous in their opinion that the steady decrease of late years of alcohol in the regular army is mainly the result of the establishment of the post exchange or canteen at military posts"
 q do not believe it." said William c. Idlley, treasurer of the committee. '"rhe facts and figures and testimony in our possession as a committee refute the statement of Mir Sternberg."
 One year ago the committee was very active in presenting petitions to Congress against the canteen. Now it is prepar- ing to wage a still moro effective war.

Comments on Buffers speechh.

London, Oct. n.-"Generai Buffers speech, pathetic in it's weakness. Is" The Spectator asserts, "the best possible jus tification for the declarations that he Is not fit to command an army corps"
 The Saturday Review refers to his ''petulant apology" as sheer feminism' adding: The mysterious conspirator who uttered threats at Aldershot might have come from DeQuincy's Confessions. The demand that he be shown better com mander than himself savored of the chal- lcnge of 'navvy In the ring"
 Sir Walter Peace. agent general for Natal, speaking in London, tonight re- ferred to the unfortunate utterances of Sir Redvers Butler. and said: Tt must be ever remembered to General Butler s credit that he saved South Africa for Great Britain. But for his change in the plans on his arrival at Capetown, there is no doubt the Boers would have gone down to Durban, and in that case, in the light of what has since happened. there is no doubt the Cape Dutch would have risen and the British been driven from South Africa '"

OFFICERS VERY SCARCE
Annual Report of Crownin-
 shield Given Out.
Recommends Four Vice Admirals Bs Created, Even If It Becomes Necessary to Reduce Num-
 bsr of Rear Admirals.

Washington, Oct. i1.-In his annual re- port to the Secretary of the Navy, Rear Admiral Crowninshield. Chief of the Ma vigation Bureau. says 1t Is particularly desirable to have some small ships for gulf service on the Atlantic side. The department is about to follow up the precedent established last year in the creation of a torpedo boat service station at Norfolk by establishing four other sta tions at Port Royal, Charleston. Pensa- cola and a second one at Norfolk.
 Sailors were enlisted during the year to the number of s,s56 making the total men in service 1s.S25. From this number there were s.15s assertions.
 The most important feature of the re- port, that of personnel. is reserved for the last. Admiral Crowninshield already has given warning to Congress of tho ab- soIutely imperative need of the navy for more officers and men. Now he adds some startling figures to support his re- newed recommendations. He says if the department were called upon to man the ships for war service. it could not meet the demand. There are not enough line officers to man the ships already con- structed.
 More Officers Needed.
 When, in three years. the vessels now under construction, shall have been com- pieted, the number of officers necessary to man them and few auxiliary vessels would be more than a thousand, and the problem presented is how these officers can be secured in the short time remain ing. At present, the line of the navy, under the personnel act and as fed from Annapolis. is increasing only at the rate of ten per year in number (forty officers being retired arbitrarily each year. which would make thirty for three years. Ac- cording to Admiral Crowinshield. tn only remedy is to. increase the number o. cadets at the naval academy to not Ie:r than 800. It is recommended that begin ming with the next Congress, there sinai be allowed at the academy two naval ca dets for every representative or delegate. two for each Senator, one for the Dis trict of Columbia, and ten at large an- nually and that the course be limited to four years
 Another striking recommendation of Admiral Crowinshield under this head of personnel, is that four vice-admirals be created, reducing the number of rear admirals to fourteen, if necessary. It is said that the United States often are placed in a humiliating position on im- portant occasions abroad by reason of the low rank of It's naval representatives. The report closes with an earnest recom- mendation for the creation of national naval reserve.

 senatorship.

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. u.-A special to The Journal from Spartanburg. s. C.. says:
 The Journals representative while in with prominent citizen Of S. C., was told in answer to the question. that General Hampton would enter the senatorial contest. re- gardless of rumors to the contrary.
 The present scheme in the affairs of the senatorial contest is to have all of the resign in favor of General Hampton, and thus in centering upon one candidate, 1t is hoped to allay the bit ter political feelings that have existed for the past ten years.
 Candidate George Johnstone of New berry has, in an open letter, declared his willingness to further the plan. and stated that he would withdraw if the oth- CTS will do likewise.
 MT. J. J. Hemphill refused to discuss the matter while in the city the other day.
 Congressman Latimer, who Is also . has declared emphatically that he is in the race to the finish.
 Thus every day brings about new com plications and he is, indeed, clear headed man who knows who's who.

PASSES STILL FLOURISH.
Proposition to Abolish Them Deei-
 sively Beaten.

Chicago. Oct. Il Hallway passes will ot be abolished December 31. The plan to wipe them out of existence was killed at a meeting here today of the executive officials of the Western roads. They will meet again November 5. The scheme to abolish passes in all probability will be resurrected about year hence, ls E. Fl. Hartman and other railway magnates are firmly imbued with the Idea that the officers and employees of the railroads and members of their families should pay regular rates when they travel. the same as all others.
 When vote was taken nearly all the big roads voted in the affirmative and all the smaller roads voted against it. The ajority against abolishing presses was decisive.
 That meeting on November 5th will be only to give a little coat of whitewash to the committee whose recommendations for abolishing passes was rejected today said an executive officer on one of the western roads after the meeting.

English Paper Hints at a Display

London, Oct. 11.-After detailing the history of the abduction of Miss Stone. The Spectator remarks:
 "Presdent Roosevelt and the Washing ton cabinet maintain justly that the Sul- tan is responsible. as it is his misgovern- ment which provokes and protects brigan- dage and they intend to demand repara- ton from the Porte It will not be limit ed we imagine to e25,OOo. The porte will be required to punish the authors of the outrage, and as Turkey Is sure to shunle and as America is tired of being played with, a naval demonstration Is quite on the cards. The Sultan will or course yield to the first show of force"

RAPID FIRE GUNS SENT.
Colombia and Other Republics Pur-
 chase Arms.

New York, Oct. 1.-The Tribune says: "The Colombian Government has been buying several rapid fire guns here and shipping them south. Spectators in the West Indies, Central and South America, expecting eventually to dispose of arms and ammunition to the revolutionists, who are paying good prices Tor such wares, are sending stock to South Ameri- ca marked fire works.', The use of tie term fire works is not intended to con- ceal altogether the nature of the ship rnents, as they are not contraDand. 1t makes unnecessary full description and insures careful handling. Within the last week upwards of 200 cases of fire works besides fire arms, cartridges, dynamite and fuses, labeled as such, have been shipped to Argentina, Brazil Chile, Gen. traI America, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico. Uruguay and Colombia. It is believed that the revolutionists in Venezuela and Colombia recently forwarded the fifteen pound rapid fire Seabury and -Jriggs rifie which was on exhibition at the PSn- American Exposition, and which 1t bought. Two of four rified pieces also obtained were shipped by the Atlas and Panama lines few days ago.

Washington. Oct. 1.-The State De- partment has heard again by cable from United States Consul General Dickinson and Secretary of Legation Spencer Eddy touching on the progress of the negotia- tions looking to the release of Miss Stone. None of the details was made public, however, and all that can be gathered as to the status of the case are that the conditions are by no means reassuring as was expected yesterday.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-10-12

Boston, Oct. 1.-The misunderstanding existing in various parts of the country, indicated especially in private advices re- ccived here, as to progress of the fund to ransom Miss Stone, the missionary, Is considered to be of sufficient reason for the issuance of another appeal for funds by the clergymen who signed the first one The idea is to impress upon the people of America the danger which still threatens Miss Stone. The second appeal follows:
 Boston. Oct. Il. 1901. ITO the People of America:
 "The promptings of our hearts compel us to issue a second urgent appeal to the people of America to come to the rescue of Miss Ellen M Stone, the American missionary now held captive by brigands in the Balkan mountains, for ransom of $1lo,OOo Nearly one half that sum is yet to be raised.
 Private advices received yesterday were to the effect that it was absolutely necessary to raise the full amount at once. The story of a thirty days respite Is absolutely discredited in the best in- formed circles. .E
 ''Today's information from Washington is that the outlook is far from being so reassuring as was hoped yesterday.
 "WiI not pastors, tender hearted wo- men, patriotic men and representatives of commercial and financial activity every where-will not every one aid by giving and soliciting until the entire fund Is in hand?"
 "A life is at stake, the life of a Chris tian, a missionary, a patriot and noble American.
 "All contributions should be sent direct to Kidder, Peabody & Co.,, 115 Devonshfre Street, Boston or Barring, Magoun & Co.,. l5 Wall Street, New York"
