Ransom Consul DickensOn
Sees Prince Ferdinand.

BOSTON. Oct 7-Nearly half of the
money needed to ransom Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone, the missionary, from the Bulgarian
brigands has been placed in the hands of
Messrs. Kidder Peabody & Co. The exact
figures at midnight were A5,54S cash and
s. 500 I'm pledges. OF this amount the firm
this afternoon sent $500 to the State De-
partment TO be forwarded to its consular
agents at the place where it can be used
most expeditiously. Members of the firm,
when informed of the Associated Press
cablegram from London to the effect that
Vienna advices indicated that there would
be a months extension of time in which to
pay the ransom, said that the forwarding
of money would not be delayed in the
least
During the afternoon the officials of the
American board in charge of congregation
missions met informally. Nothing was
talked Of except Miss Stone and the matter
of the ransom. The officials personally con-
tributed TO the ransom. But as officials.
they took the position they have taken all
along, that it would be inadvisable for
them. a mission board. to pay a ransom
this for the reason that il would be put
ting a premium on brigandage that must
in the end make missionary work in wild
and rough countries more difficult and
possibly impracticable After this meeting
it was officially given out that the State
Department at Washington had agreed TO
take full charge OF the delivery of the
ransom to the brigands If news comes
that Miss Stone still lives, or until the
news of her death is received, collections
Tor the ransom will continue to be made.

UNEASINESS IN BRITAIN
RUSSIA, 1T Is FEARED, MAY At
TEMPT TO MAKE TROUBLE.
May Seize the Opportunity to Push
Her Frontier Forward Towards
the Indian boundary.

LONDON, Oct. IA news agency pub
fishes the following dispatch from Simla,
dated this evening: "Habib Oullah Khan.
eldest son of the Ameer of Afghanistan,
has reported to the British agent at Cabul
that the ameer died last Thursday, after
brief Illness"
A dispatch to the Associated Press from
Simla says the ameer was taken seriously Ill
Sept. % Habib Oullah Khan, Oct 2, asked
in a durbar that public prayers be offered
for the ameer On the morning of Oct
Habib Oullah Khan announced that his
father had expired at 3 clock that morn
ing. Nothing is known of the state of af-
fairs at Cabu
No confirmation of the foregoing has been
received at the Foreign Office, but the ac-
curacv of the report Is not doubted. In
view of the existing critical situation in
South Africa the news sent something like
a shock through the United Kingdom.
Great confidence, however, is expressed on
all sides in the ability of the Indian vice
ROY to deal with the situation. Before Lord
Curzon attained his present dignities he
had travelled through Afghanistan as the
guest of the Ameer, and had thoroughly
mastered the problem of British policy in
Habib Oullah Khan. who was regarded by
his father as his successor, will assume
the succession peaceably. He is at Cabul.
For some years, under his fathers con-
trolling hand, he mas had charge of the
army and the state treasury and the Su-
preme Court of Appeal. He is regarded as
a wise and temperate ruler favorable to
Great Britain. but less masterful than his
father. and for this reason less likely to
be strong enough to govern the fierce, un-
ruly tribes or to resist the attempts of his
brothers to seize power. 1t is expected that
Lord Curzon will postpone his intended
tour of Burmah until the Afghan question
settles down.
The editorials in the Tuesday morning
papers express confidence that with
strong viceroy and a strong government at
home, any possible complications following
the death of the Ameer will be firmly and
prudently met. There is. however, an un-
deriving current of uneasiness discernibe
as to whether Russia will seize the oppor-
tunity TO push her frontier forward. The
British troops in India, owing to the South
African war, are now below their normal
strength 1t will be impossible to take any
more for South Africa, and the news will
still further encourage the Beers to pro-
long their resistance.

Situation Is Critical.

MIDDLESBORO, KY, Oct. 1.-The situa-
tion at Big Springs, Tenn. where at the
Union Baptist Church yesterday four mem
bers of the Chadwell and the Morgan fac
tions were killed and five wounded, is crit
ical tonight, and it is the general opinion
that more bloodshed is certain to follow.
a report reached here tonight, by way of
Tazewell. Tenn. that a second clash be-
tween the factions had occurred late this
afternoon, but the story is as yet uncon-
tirmed. At noon. when a horseman arrived
here from Ewing, Va. five miles from Big
Springs, no more trouble had occurred al
though the feeling was at tension Both
factions were barricaded in their homes
and were armed to the teeth. Many believe
that they are waiting for darkness TO re-
new the trouble. Two members of each
faction came 10 Cumberland Gap to-day
and secured a large supply Of ammunition.

NEW CANAL TREATY.
Great Britain Is Said to Have sur
rendered Every Point.

LONDON, Oct. THE Washington cor
respondent of the Daily Chronicle gives the
alleged substance of a provisional canal
treaty abrogating the Clayton Bulwer
treaty. Commenting editOrially on these
advices the Daily Chronicle says: Eng
lishmen will be startled TO learn that we
have abandoned our rights under the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty and surrendered every
disputed point without any compensation.
The new treaty is apparently another in
stance of Lord Salisbury's placid indiffer-
ence and Lord Lansdowne' s impulsiVe gen.
erosity. 1t is said that President Roose-
welt will recommend its adoption to the
Senate. Doubtless Great Britain Will agree
to it. Although ii gives us nothing at all,
ii will have the advantage of getting rid
of all our outstanding grievances with the
United States.
