MORE CHANCE ZOE wlLp ANIMALS.

When Rudyard Kiplng sent $500 to the managers Of a
home for sick animals which is being established Paris
he expressed his approval Of work be done by that
institution in that seemed to indicate quite
much eshetc and artistic interest the pres
ervaton and relief of suffering animals. man, de
clared should exterminae the lower animals the world
would become "ghastly and unpicturesque."
That is in harmony with the complaint which Kiplng

State Superintendent of Prisons Col

murderer of President Mckinley, must
not be the subject of notoriety while in
Auburn prison awaiting electrocution.
He must not be seen and visitors must
not be permitted to enter any part OF
the prison where knowledge might be
gained of his location. The warden of
the prison has been instructed to inform
the guards and other employees of the
prison that the divulging of any iD-
formation concerning him or his doings
will be considered a grave breach of dis
cipline and will be dealt with accordingly.

RANSOM FOR A MISSIONARY.
Bulgarian Brigands Demand $11O,
900 for a Woman.

Boston. Oct. 6.-The urgency of the
case of Miss Stone, the missionary held
for ransom by brigands in Bulgaria,
brought together the members OF the
Prudential committee of the American
board for two hours today. Later the
committee issued a statement based
upon the views of Samuel B. Capen of
the board and the secretary, Rev. DR..
Judson Smith, as the result of their visit
to Washington yesterday.
Both gentlemen had interviews with
the president and the officials of the
state department. 1t was made plain to
them, they told the Prudential commit
tee, that the only certain way to secure
the release of Miss Stone and save her
life would be tie payment of the ransom.
The committee was informed that the
government, by reason of constitutional
restriction, is unable to pay the ransom
The committee was also made aware OF
the fact that the American board has no
money with which to- save Miss Stone.
The only possible way, therefore, was
shown to be a popular subscription,
which has already been started. The
committee heartily approved this and
began sending kilograms to many parts
of the country urging subscriptions.
The committee says that in view ol
the spirit with which the appeal was re-

ENGLAND HOLDS OUT
Makes No Compromise On the
Question of Isthmian Canal.
Neither Has the United States
Yielded a Single Point
To Her.

Washington, Oct. 8 There has been
no surrender by England to the United
States IN the matter of the new isthmiap
canal treaty, according to the best au-
thorIty here. 1t is equally true that the
United States has sacrificed no principles
IN these negotiations and the effect of
contrary statements Is deprecated as
likely to seriously ieopardize the chances
or the consummatiOn OF the convention.
which shall finally and peacefully settle
an issue That has been source of
danger for the past so years.
1t is said that what actually has hap-
Dened Is that each side has preserved the
underlying principle of the Clayton Bull
Wer treaty and the new convention will
provide for waterway, neutral at all
times and open to the commerce OF the
world. The Clayton. Bulwer treaty. how
eyer, drawn half a century ago, has
proved to be defective in mechanism for
giving effect to this purpose The new
treaty simply provides this mechanism.
England is relieved from the guarantee
which, in her case, was only trouble
some, and which, being assumed by the
United States in toto, is quite effective.
AS viewed from the American point of
view even, there was no surrender on
England's part in seeking this relief, in
asmuch as the above mentioned prin-
cipie is reiterated and affirmed as bind
ing upon the United States.
As for the form of the treaty, it may
be stated that it embodies in substance
the amendments to the Hay Paunce-
tote treaty which were signed by the
senate, and beyond that the changes
are believed to be textual rather than
substantial.

Labor Legislation

A comparative report upon labor

but not touched upon by this govern.

the state insurance systems found in
some European countries and some Of
the Australian colonies, but not as vet
in Great Britain, and the great guild
system OF Germany, corresponding in a
measure to our state legislation respect
ing labor unions, hut establishing a far
more elaborate system. Legislation up
on the continent il more precise and
definite as to apprenticeships than in
this country or in England The tend
ency in the United States has been to
abolish apprentice laws entirely or for
such laws to fall into disuse, the control
OF apprentices to depend upon the action
of labor unions.
