Saratoff's Note Construed as Proof
That Bulgaria is Responsible
for Abduction.

London. Oct. 2G~-Commentjng upon
the statement of the Politische Core
spondez regarding the latter of NJ.
Saratoff, the Bulgarian minister, to
Consul General Dickinson, the Vienna
correspondent of the Standard says:
1T may be regarded as convincing
proof that Bulgaria is shielding the
Macedonian committee and that the
Sofia correspondents of the Politische
Corresponds and other papers are cor
rect in declaring that the Macedon-
ians. disguised as Turks, kidnapped Miss
Stone and that regular game is being
played by the Bulgarian troops on one
side and Turkish troops on the other
side of the frontier, each side trying
to smuggle the prisoners over the bor-
der in order that the ransom paid by
sentimental Americans may be recov-
cred. as the Bulgarians wish, from
Turkey. and as the Turks wish, from
Bulgaria, and that the prisoners, but
for this farce, could be produced at
any moment
Make Bulgaria Responsible.
THE right course now is not 10 pay
the ransom. but TO hold Bulgaria re-
sponsble for every hair Of Miss Stones
head Those who know the facts see
no reason to anticipate any danger to
her life"

RAREFIED HUMOR or TIE ROCKIES.
From The PhIIadelphla Post.

from The Philadelphia Post
High up the Laramie Range there is a little
station called Sherman-a mere watering place
for trains on the Union Pacific Railway. Nearby
il is gigantic pyramid of stone. 60 feet high and
60 feet square at the base. which set up by
the railway a monument to OakeS Ames and
Oliver Ames.
In the later eighties there arrived at Sherman a
shabby person of melancholy aspect. who put up
a 'shack"-Wcstern for shanty-nOt far from the
monument. OStensibly he was prospecting, and he
continued to prospect for three years without ac-
compllshing any results. so far as could he oh
served At the end of that period the management
Of the Union Pacific received from him Il communi-
cation demanding the immediate removal of the
monument from the premises. which he
as his under the Homestead law.
The matter regarded in humorous light n
hrSt, but subsequent proceedings developed the
fact that the squatter had what lawyers call u
case"
The stranger, il seems. had located on n section
ot land which did not belong to the Union Pacific
the same section on which the monument had 10y
an inadVertence. been placed. lie knew very well
~hat he was about. and the upShot of the affair
was that the railway had to pay s. 600 for the
squatter'S tract in order to make its title good

yards from the station. ana it is favorite trick
