London Globe Says Miss Stones
Safety Seriously Compromised.

London, Oct 1s.-The Globe this after
noon says it fears that the safety of
Miss Ellen M Stone is seriously compro-
missed by the attitude of Consul General
Dickinson in refusing to pay the ran
som and is demanding that Bulgaria ar
rest the leaders of the Macedonia COM
mittee as the real authors of the mis-
sionary's abduction. The paper says
the situation contains all the factors of
a grave, international complication and
threatens to assume Importance far be-

OTHERS TAKE A HAND.
New York, Oct. 1S-The representative
at Samakov of the Journal and Adver
tiser cables that paper as follows:
1t is learned that Mime. Bakhmetiew
wife of the Russian diplomatic agent at
Sofia, formerly Miss Beal of Washing
ton, has begun energetic work on behalf
of Miss Stone. and the strong attitude
taken by the German diplomatic agent
because of the murder of German
traveller may hasten the authorities to
bring about Miss Stones release The
Bulgarian authorities are working hard
to prevent the ransom from being pa1d
on Bulgarian SOIL Hence DR. Haskell
is likely to get another letter requesting
payment of the ransom on Turkish ter
ritory.
HOW THE LETTER WAS DELIv-
Erred.
New York, Oct 1S.-Mary Haskell.
daughter of DR.. Henry G. Haskell, of
the Samakov mission cables to the
Journal and Advertiser from SamakOv
the following details concerning the re-
ceipt of the communication from Miss
Stone, now held in captivity by ban
dts:
Into my hands at the dead of night
brigand delivered the only commu-
nication received from Miss Stone since
her deathlike captivity. My father and
the whole family had long been asleep
when a bandit bearing a letter knocked
repeatedly at my bedroom window. Re
plying to the question What do you
want?' the brigand handed a letter
through the half opened window, con-
cealing his face and figure. 1 urged
him for information. He showed me an
enormous revolver, saying: If you look
in my face or make any trouble 1 Will
blow your brains upon the opposite
WALL
He then directed me to give the
letter Immediately to DR.. Haskell, say
ing if the contents should be disclosed
to any except those mentioned my
father and his family would be put to
death. Again warning me not to look
upon his face under penalty of being
shot, the well dressed brigand departed
The letter was addressed to my father
Upon the envelope were the words To
be delivered at once l tore open the
envelope and found a letter for Treas
urer Peet, and one for my father ask
ing him to deliver the letter. I opened
the letter because it was a blackmail-
ing epistle, similar to those sent to
other members of the mission, demand
ing that money be placed at certain re-
mote placed upon fixed dates, under
penalty of death Both letters were
written in Bulgarian

O'Beirne. of New York, special agent
of the Roer government in this coun-
Try, called on President Roosevelt to-

Alphin has regularly succeeded Vincent

STATE Or FINANCES.

There could be no better exposition OF
the financial status quo than Is afford
ed in the statement of Treasurer
Wright. with the best information OBJ
tainable he can see only that there will
be need of extreme economy, and even
then that there will be a deficit as to
income when the period ends. 1t is
probable that during the closing days
of the second Legislature Of the Terri
tory il viii be called upon to make
special appropriation for the payment
of back warrants which will reach a
half million of dollars.
In the face of these conditions there
has been no attempt on the part of the
Conference Committee to scale down
salaries or expense items but on the
contrary the plan openly shown Is to
make the bill as large as possible so
that there may be a howl 20 up for the
calling together of the legislators that
they may have another two months
picnic in the capital of the Territory
That the assumption that the only way
to meet the crisis is by an extra SEES
sion will have weight with the Govern
or may be questioned To some minds
there will appear no reason why the
legislators should be given another
chance to do what they have proven
very conClusively they will not do
work There cannot be drawn picture
of the needs of the Islands that will be
too strong, but at the same time there
Is always opened a way out of the diff
ficulty One of the ways which will re-
duce the deficit largely Is that suggest
ed that the heads of department shall
not use the moneys appropriated unless
It Is for a contract which is sent to
some particular man who knows that he
must wait for the cash. This would
mean that the negligence of the Home
Rulers at the beginning of the session
when a vote of want of confidence look
ed more statesmanlike than the pas
sage OF loan or taxation measure, had
brought the Territory to the place for
which they ticketed It. What with bad
roads. unimproved landings and crowd
ed schoolhouses. the people would see
that there was much to be wished,
which could not be secured from an In
dependent Legislature
In cold figures the Treasurer shows
where. without the income tax returns,
there may be expected deficit FOR the
period of close to million While this
could not have been wiped out entirely
by any kind Of cheeseparing 1t could
have been reduced materially without
serious detriment to the public service.
That there was made no serious at
tempt to work economies Is on par
with the holding back OF bill at the
opening OF this extra session until some
thing could he heard from Becl5ley and
his attempt to have President Dole put
out OF office. The harvest Is In sight
for the sowing was the wind and the
whlrlwind will sweep some OF the many
would-be leaders into well-earned OBJ
security.

Humphreys has an easy way or deny
ing any statement that hurts him ana
he does not hesitate, on occasion, TO lie
siibly from the bench. His latest de-
NAL affects the veraclty of the san
Francisco Chronicle, whose staff repre-
sentative went with him from Homo
lulu to San Francisco and doubtless re-
ported precisely what ne said. Seeing
the story in cold type got on Hum
phreys' nerves and his first thought was
to deny 1t. But a denial in face of his
reputation for falsehood, OF the reputa-
ton of the Chronicle for veracity and
of the circumstantial and other evidence
against him in regard TO the anneXa-
ton scheme, counts for nothing. We
shall probably hear something more
under this head when the Chronicle
learns that the disgraced and repudiat-
ed Judge Is trying to save his own
worthless neck at the expense of the
Chronicles good name.

The victim must swear TO a statement

profits on real estate. his dividends on
corporation stocks must be set down.
likewise his premiums on bonds, notes

To be sure the tax gatherer will not

say nothing, of course, and in that re-
