BULGARIA. WILL BE
 HELD RESPONSIBLE
CONSUL GENERAL DICKINSON WRITES A LETTER RELATIVE TO MISS SToNE-DIsCUsSING TERMS OF RANSOM.

Sofia, November 12.-Consul General Dickinson of Constantinople has supple mented his verbal reports to the Bulga- rian government by a note today in which he recapitulates the history of the abduction by the brlgands of Miss Ellen Stone and her companion, Mime. Tsilka, and the steps taken to obtain her release and reminds the Foreign Minister of his purpose to give every assistance.
 He cites instances where the attitude of subordinate officials have not conform ed with this assurance. Finally MT Dickerson repeats his demand for the non-interferance of the government in these negotiations.
 MT. Dickerson also quoted from Miss Stone's letters, saying that the chief danger to which she Is exposed Is flight from hidding places by night at the approach of troops. He declares that the President of the United States will hold the Bulgarian government morally and legally responsible for the lives of the captives should the bandits, exas- perated by pursuits, slay them.
 The governments reply, according to the opinion expressed in official circles, Will 5el lOTlA lIldt, Wlule uSSlbdtiuB bO establish the precedent that the govern ment give protection to brigands in treat ing for the ransom in the present cases involving the safety of the two ladies, the government, as an act of courtesy and humanity, will comply with MT. Dickinson's request
 A private agent who was employed to visit Doubritza reports that the members of the secret committee were discussing the lowest terms of ransom that would be acceptable.
 One member of the committee informed the correspondent of the Associated Press that he had been invited to join the band and to take part in the Kidnapping, but that he refused and deprecated an att tack upon inoffensive women, pointing out that such action was calculated to cost the committee more in sympathy and support than the value of twenty ransoms.
 This view seems to be dawning gradu. ally, even in Bulgarian circles, where the Kidnapping is condoned as in the interest of a sacred cause.

Opelika, November 12.-(Special.) )-Full returns from yesterdays election are not yet in. Between $500 and 4OOO votes were boiled, and the majority against the con- stitution Is between 1000 and 1200.. The opposition to the ratification in Lee county was composed almost entirely of negroes. They were solidly' organized and turned out en masse and to a man voted against ratification, and their votes were counted as cast. Not exceeding 250 white men, including every white Re- publican in the county, voted against 1t. In Opelika precinct, the headquarters Of the anti-ratificationists, 85 white votes were cast, including the white Repub- licans In most precincts however, they boiled less than half a dozen as a general thing. In Lee county it was emphatically a contest between the African and the Caucasian, and the majority against ratification is mostly a majority of ne- groes.

 Urges Cooperation.
 Let us all cooperate to make the new constitution success; let us, if we can, catch something of the spirit of Ben Franklin, when, as a member of the con- vention which framed the Federal con- stitution, while he did not approve of all of Its provisions, said, Much of the strength and efficiency of any government in procuring and securing happiness to the people depends on opinion or the general opinions of the goodness of that government as well as of the wisdom and integrity of its government, I hope therefore for our sakes and for the sakes of our posterity that we shall act heartily and unanimously in recommend ing this constitution where ever our in fiuence may extend and turn our future thoughts and endeavors to the means of having it well administered"
 County Majority Is 2275.
 With the exception of one or two un- important precincts every section of Jeff ferson county has been heard from, and the fuller returns do not materially change the first estimate of 2500 ma Jority. Unofficial returns give majority for ratification of about 2275 and the miss ing boxes cannot change that number more than fifty votes either way.
 The Brookside box, which was consid- cred doubtful. has disappeared. and up to late hour last night no one had been able to locate the ballots cast at that polling place. It is said considerable friction developed there during the cleo tion between Republican and Democratic managers. A large number of negro vot- CTS were brought In to cast their ballots against the new constitution, and it is said the question of qualification in- creased the i'll feeling. When the polls had been closed all the managers went to supper before commencing the count, and when they returned the ballot box and all the votes were missing. Early yester- day morning the box was found near a creek open and empty. Both sides claim they had majority, and the managers express great regret over the occurrence.
 Later returns received by the Age-Her- aid last night are given below:

that Perry's vote was determined. More work was possibly done on election day than ever before, yet every white man seemed to feel his responsibility, and Indian fashion went to the polls as his own man and voted. Like the constitu- tional convention, there was no leader de- veloped. and while 1t will take the of ficiai count to show just how Perry stands, she can safely be placed for rat if1cation by handsome majority.
