his revolver five times, but only two cart

America and the President.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 27-The Russian
leader writer's have put President Roosevelt
and the United States on the list of their
regular themes. Scarcely a day passes
without some newspaper devoting a serious
editorial to the development of the political
and economic power of the United States.
This in Itself is gratifying, but what is
more so is that nearly all the papers are
sympathetic and many display accurate
insight into American affairs. The Bourse
Gazette had the following a day or two
ago:
1.-The statesman who has unexpectedly
assumed the reins at Washington is the
perfect type of the American of to-day
and before him lies a wider horizon than
any of his predecessors enjoyed. Between
the United States Of our day and the re-
public of which the history of the last
century told us there is little in common.
The classic land of freedom, the country
derful dimensions and which has realized
the boldest Utopias and the most daring
theories of political and social liberty, the
great transatlantic republic, terrifies the
lima ginations of Europeans. 1t is a new
giant a state which the latest events have
made a world power, a state which has
transformed itself to the point of un-
reoognizabiity and is bent upon transform
ing the whole world. proclaiming through
its new chief magistrate that the word OF
the United States shall have due weight
everywhere where economic and political
questions are decided"

MISS STONES CAPTORS
AGAIN FLEE WITH HER BEFORE
THE BULGARIAN TROOPS.
Consul General Dickinson Makes
Strong Representations at Sofia
Bulgaria to Be Held Responsible.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Nov. 1o-Information
has been received here from Doubnitza that
the band of brigands holding captive Miss
Ellen NJ. Stone, the American missionary,
called about fortnight ago at the village
of Smetchevo and subsequently proceeded
to the monastery of Rilo, but the move
ments of the troops compelled the brigands
to fee toward the frontier, where they are
now in hiding.
1t also is asserted that the brigands re-
Gently have been treating Miss Stone with
more severity in order to exercise pressure
and to compel more ready acceptance OF
their conditions Consul General Dickinson
is infiexible. He insists that the surrender
of Miss Stone must precede or be simulta-
neous with the payment of the ransom. His
attitude Is justified by the known determi-
nation of some members of the band, par
ticuarly the captain, Yanne SandansKy, TO
kill Miss Stone and her companion as soon
the ransom is received, owing to the
fact that the captives have now acquired
information concerning the secret COM
mittee.
Competent persons, however, express the
opinion that the cupidity of the brigands
will overcome their fear of revelations and
all such approve the declaration of Mr..
Dickinson. Yesterday Mr. Dickinson made
energetic representations to the Bulgarian
government against the movements of the
Bulgarian troops, reproaching the officials
with the fact that, notwithstanding their
solemn promises to give him all assistance
in their power, their action was embarrass-
ing the negotiations, retarding settlement
and placing in jeopardy the life OF Miss
Stone.
He made a definite declaration that the
Bulgarian government would be held re-
sponsible for the death of Miss Stone and
of all the consequences of her death. should
it be proved that the attitude of the Bull
garian government forced the brigands to
kill their captives.
