Paris, April 22.-The closest chum
Of Senator Clark of Montana, now in
Paris, is a cabman named Marlupot,

The assault occurred in little

The American put up brave fight,
but he was alone against three, and
had just been tripped, when Marlupot,
a dirty and disreputable nighthawk,
but generous and honest withal, who
was driving aimlessly nearby, hasten

Blame Placed On the Sultan.

Kansas City, Oct DIR. NJ Mesro-
plan, of this city, a physician and a
native of Armenia, who has lectured
in eastern cities on the atrocities prac-
ticed upon the Armenians by the
Turks, declares that the abduction Of
Miss Stone, the American missionary,
by brigands in Bulgaria, was the work
of the Sultan of Turkey.
II am sure 1t was he who ordered
the brigands to carry off Miss Stone,
said DR.. Mesropian. He ordered her to
be taken across the Bulgarian border,
SO as to divert suspicion from himself.
1t is a move in retaliation for the
enforced payment of the $4,000 in
demnity that the United States exact
ed of Abdul Hammid for the burning
of American missionary buildings |
believe it would be better for the gov
eminent to send warship over there
than to pay the ransom.
Missionaries will not be safe after
Abdul Hammid has received the ran
som. They will be abducted every
where. The Sultan is determined to
be revenged for the loss of that $780,
600, and the abduction serves a double
purpose-the return of the money and
the behest of fanaticism. There is no
crime the Turk won't commit In the
name of his religion"

Boston, Oct. 9.--No additional state
ment of money received for the ran
som fund for Miss Stone was given
out by Kidder, Peabody & Co. after
the oneof yesterday afternoon, showing
$49.57461 in cash and $1,000 In I'M
paid pledges. This made the total
$56,57461.
The rush of contributors Is over, be-
cause of the general opinion that the
critical moment has been averted and
that months time offers ample op.
portunity to add to the fund.
Mr. Charles A. Stone, brother OF
the captive missionary. wishes the ac-
tivity for the fund to continue for a
few days longer. He hopes that the
cable dispatches indicating that the
brigands have granted months time
are right. although he has no per-
sonal confirmation of that fact. having
repeatedly sent messages to both Con-
stantinople and Samokov.
He says that the idea in the west
that he had stated that no more money
Is needed because enough has been
given is wrong. He is still anxious
about getting the total of $4,000.
Next Saturday will be Miss Stones
23d anniversary of her sailing from
Boston for the missionary field In
Bulgaria.

Macedonians Not Guilty.

London, Oct. 9.-The Daily Mail has

its Vienna correspondent: I'm reply to

General Zontschew, president of the
Macedonian committee, denies that
the committee had any hand in the
abduction of Miss Stone. He adds:
The committee desires the support of
the civilized world for the Macedonian
cause and, therefore, would not COM
NIT such folly. The Turks did the
deed and Turkey must be made re-

foreign minister Indignantly denies the
suggestion that the Bulgarian govern
ment is not doing its best to rescue
Miss Stone. He says 5000 troops are

MARRIES THE FAMILY,
'Swftwater Bill" Gates Secures the
Third Lahore Girl.

saltwater Bill" Gates Secures the
Third Lahore Girl.
"Swiftwater Bill Gates the rich
klondike placer miner. whose matrl-
monial exploits with the Misses La
more have made him famous, has
eloped from Butte with Miss Belle
Lahore, youngest and last Of the trio
of the sisters to which the Alaskan
has given much gold and affection,
says the Butte correspondent of the
Montana Daily Record. The Lahore
girls belong to family that has pro-
duced a number of actresses who are
well known on the coast. Gates was
one of the original Giscoverers of gold
in the Dawson City district. He
mined on the Yukon before the big
rush north and is said to have made
mint of money.
After he had made his pile, he con-
cuded that he was entitled to sea
son of relaxation. This was three
years ago. He went from Dawson to
Seattle. and proceeded to enjoy him
self. There he met Miss Gussie La
more, who was playing an engage
ment in the Seattle theater. Their
courtship was short They were
married and went to visit Miss La
mores family in San Francisco
rntn
Miss Grace Lahore, a younger sis
ter. and separation resulted. Mrs
Gates experienced no trouble in secur-
ing a divorce, naming her sister as CO.
respondent in a somewhat sensational
suit, and few days after the decree
was signed Miss Grace became Mrs
Gates No 2, and Miss Gussie went
back on the stage.
Gates lived with this sister two
years, but the marriage did not prove
congenial Less than year ago, he
secured a divorce.
About two weeks ago Gates arriv-
ed in Butte. His former wife and
youngest sister, Miss Belle, were fill
ing an engagement in local concert
hall. Gates called on them. The
meeting was friendly, and as an evil
dence of kindness Gates presented
Mrs. Gates No. | with an interest in
a valuable placer property in the
Cape Nome country. Gates gave out
information that he was on his way
to London to organize a company foi'
the purpose of operating the Nome
placer property, and while he made
violent love to the third sister. His
divoced wife objected to his atten-
tions to Miss Belle, but they were
quietly married and before anyone in
terested knew what had happened,
were well on their way east
