LIVERPOOL AND GLASGOW HAVE
 BUBONIC PLAGUE

secretary left at once for the White House. M Margrie is considered an ex- pert in matters pertaining to the Le- want, having spent several years at Con- stantinople recently as attache of the French embassy. He feels confident that there is not the slightest danger of dissolution of the concordat owing to the action of the French government sending warships to make a demonstra- tion in Turkish waters and to seize custom port The other nations, parties to the concordat, understand the situa- tion perfectly and in fact most of them have grievances and claims themselves like the French complaints so they may look with compIacency upon the effort to make the Porte meet its obligations. There also is precedent for this action, for Ia few years ago Austria seized a Turkish port in the Gulf of Alexanderia and held 1t until her claims were paid. yet the incident did not cause protest by the other powers or even attract much attention. It is cofidently expected that 1t will not be necessary for the French admiral to proceed to any great length before the Turks will meet his demands.

TO INCREASE GRAIN EXPORTS.
Efforts Being Made to Give New York
 It's Former Prominence.

New York, October a.--A conference was held today at the headquarters of the Trunk Line Association between the grain committee of the New York Pro- duce Exchange and the traffic managers of the New York-Buffalo railroads It's object was to further efforts being made in various directions to restore to it's former size the grain export trade from this port.
 This subject was under consideration last week at a hearing before the inter state commerce commission which is to that hearing there was investigated the part which lower freight rates from Chi cago to Baltimore played in taking away much of the export grain business which formerly Went through this port
 At the conference today the members of the grain committee took up the case from another point of view. They call ed attention of the traffic managers to what the grain committee consider a lack of facilities for the landing of grain The committees representatives pointed out that there are not enough grain elevators to store large amounts of grain and that the docking facilities are not equal to those of other Atlantic seaports to which grain traffic is being diverted. They ask ed the railroad representatives to con- slider this lack of facilities and to suR- gest an improvement to their respective companies. The railroad men took the matter under advisement.

MAsO WANTS TO BE
 CUBA'S PRESIDENT
SURPRISES SENIOR PALMA WITH HIS ANNOUNCEMENT = MAKES STRONG BID FOR AuToNoMIsT, SPANISH AND NEGRO VOTE.

Havana, October 3.-General Bartelome Maso today surprised senor Tomas Es- trada Palma and the latters supporters by coming out with a manifesto declaring himself candidate for the Presidency of Cuba. He makes a strong bid for the autonomist. Spanish and negro vote.
 After declaring that he has been in- duced to enter the field for Presidential candidateur in order to preserve the Ma tionalists and patriotism of the country, he says:
 This is the only way to preserve the country in an independent whole.
 "The military government" he con- tinued, "has ignored this element, not considering 1t necessary. It Is also desir- able to have assist in the work of form ing the Republic the colored race, which is an essential factor In our social sx- istence, and has proved an orderly ele- ment even amid great suffering. We cannot abandon these people now by de- nying them participation in our political personality.
 We must have with us, too, the Span iards, who are the nerve of our exis- tence. The future of Cuba cannot be to them a matter of indifference
 ''The Cubans today are a poor people. We have lost a lot of time during the intervention. The element around the military governor has forgotten the duty of reconstruction. Where much could have been accomplished, nothing has been done"
 Referring to the Platt amendment Maso observes:
 t.It is obvious that absolute indepen- dence of government is not to be est ab- lished for the unavoidable demands of foreign policy must be satisfied. The treaty which the Cubans are going to draw up with the United States should be the object of immediate attention in or der to carry on the government intelli- gently. It is also desirable to learn the meaning and extent of the limitations, but we must make our purpose clear not to renounce sovereignty and independence whenever the definite establishment of the same is treaty. In the treaty we shall have to try to get concessions from the United States. These are due us in strict justice for nothing less than the fact that the United States by using Cuba has solved an independent international prob lem"
 Among the obligations or the Republic of Cuba, General Maso considers that the payment of the army should have a preferential place.

London, October M.-General Butler threatens to blossom into British Bou- ianger. He does not appear to court priv He attended theatre in London last evening and when he was recognized and cheered. he rose to his feet and bowed his acknowledgements. Outside the build ing General Butler was mobbed by cheer ing crowds, and the police had to be called in to clear the street
 General Butler today proceeded to AL dershot, whence he departs tomorrow. The authorities are striving to keep the hour of his leaving secret from the troops in order to avoid a demonstration which, the officials say. will be peculiarly undesirable.
 There is no doubt that a large section of the troops are indignant at the Gen. erals dismissal. The Highland infantry expressed this feeling by removing from the walls of it's mess rooms the portrait of a distinguished field marshal which was kicked around the barracks, while DOT trait of General Butler was carried around the mess in. triumph. Soldiers en route when marching past General Bull CTS house frequently break into cheers. A mass meeting of Weltsh soldiers at Cardiff today adopted resolution de- manding the resignation of MT. Broder- ick, the War Secretary, for his harsh treatment of General Butler.
 General Butler speaking to a reporter of the London Evening News regarding the tel Ngram to General White attribu- ted to him by the National Review, said: 'That is not my telegram"

MOB HANGS NEGRO
 IN QUIET MANNER
WORK so SYSTEMATIC THAT GIT. HENS WERE IGNORANT OF THE NOES EXISTENCE UNTIL AFTER IT HAD THE NEGRO.

Hodgenville, ky, October 31.-A mob fifty or seventy determined citizens can down upon this little town about 2 o'clet this morning and took from tsle jail silc Esters, negro. charged with forcing Granville Ward. a 15-yeary5ld boy of near Upton, to commit crimS and strung him to the court house steGs.
 So quietly and sys .ematically did the mob go about it's work that the citizens of the town were in ignorance of the ex- istence of the mob until the negro was in its clutches.
 The citizens composing the lynching party approached the jail and upon their demands the keys were surrendered to them. The cell in which the negro was confined was entered and the moose was adjusted about his neck He was dragged down the jail stairs and out into the street. He managed to slip the moose from his neck and made a break for liberty. The mob. crazed with anger. made after the negro bowling and firinE at him with guns and pistols. The negro fell when about 100 yards from the jail house riddled with bullets.
 The moose was again placed about his neck, and he was dragged to the court house and swung to the topmost steps.
 The mob was formed in the neighbor- hood of the crime. When the work of lynching had been accomplished the mem bers of the mob quietly dispersed and went to their homeA

French Squadron Returns.

Paris, October 31.-Late tonight the fol- lowing dispatch was received from Tou- lon:
 "The complete Mediterranean squadron returned to Toulon this afternoon and anchored in the Roadstead.'
 This includes Admiral Caillard s divisoin, whose departure has thus either been countermanded or postponed. If the dispatch be correct 1t would imply that the government has received news from Constantinople since morning which has not yet been divulged and which has in- duced change of plan.
 It was reported that Admiral Caillard had been ordered to cruise within reach of dispatch boat today for possible in- structions; and 1t Is significant that the torpedo boat destroyer Hallabardo left Toulon at full speed during the afternoon to rejoin the squadron.

SILVER GOES TO THE SOUTH

Washington, October 31.-Ellis H. Rob- erts. treasurer of the United States in his report for the last fiscal years, says that the treasury was never stronger than at the close of that period.
 The net ordinary revenues were $751; 695,Ss7. an increase of 2O,444,4S5 over those of 1900, which were the next highest re- corded. The expenditures, $5Os, ,967, ,353 has been exceeded only four times, in 1883, 1864, 1865 and 1899. The surplus of $77,717,- 9S4 was slightly under $2,00OO0O less than in 1900. Inclusive of the transactions af- fecting the public debt, the aggregate receipts were $1146. 49S, ,3O6 and the aggre- gate disbursements, SLOT, 063,053.
 For the first quarter of 1902, although the act of March 2, 1901, was operative, reducing the revenue. the receipts were only s3.417,s60 less than for the period of 1901. while the expenditures for the same month were reduced almost s.0,OO0 900.
 The Gold Reserve.
 The reserve of $15O,OOO,OOO gold has been kept intact by the daily substitution of gold coin and bullion out of the general fund for the notes redeemed.
 After making certain deduction for items not available in payments the free cash was sl56s11,ee4, including SO1, ,41e- 973 in the general bank Repositories.
 The, monetary stock of the country re- ceived during the year shows an increase of upwards of ss20Oo,o0O in gold, ss7. 7.ooo GOO in silver coin and nearly s16, 900, 900 in notes and certificates. The circulation per capita was sss.5O July 1. 1900; $2S July ], 1901. and s2S.52 October l. 1901. Up to the last named date from July 1. 1897. there was an increase of $463, ,1s0, ,45s in the stock of gold which was then estimated at SLIGO, 35S, 790 and of this there was S908, ,71S. 436 in circulation in the form of coin or certificates By October a the gold In the treasury was s542, ,822. .s4s the highest in the history of the country. and more than was ever held under single control elsewhere in the world, except for few months
 Small Paper Money.
 It is reasonable to believe that over $14O00,0OO of paper will, by influences now at work be changed from denominations above $l0 to that size or smaller so that the annoyances which have heretofore arisen annually from the overwhelming demand for small notes may be expected to diminish.
 The redemptions of national bank notes were the heaviest in twenty-two years amounting to $147. 4S6577, an in- crease of $50, 970 over 1900
 Standard dollars were given for gold in New Orleans to help move the crops to the amount of $2250,00 and for deposits in New York they were shipped to South- ern points for s2,515, 700.

Claims That Miss Stone Per- sisted in TraVe|ing Though
 Warned of Danger
BANDITS GRANTED IMMUNITY
MT. Dickinson Says That Turkey Agreed Fortnight Ago to Re- imburse the Ransom-Miss
 Stone Is Still Alive.

Constantinople. October S1.-The Tur- hsh government Is already preparing to resist the anticipated demand of the United States for repayment of the ran- som necessary to secure the release Of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the abducted Amer ican missionary. The Porte repudiates all responsibility for the Kidnapping of Miss Stone, and maintains that the United States has no claim against Turkey, and that therefore, the latter is justified In refusing to recoup the United States for the money expended in her rescue.
 A high Turkish official this morning in- formed a representative of the Associated Press that Turkeys resistance of any claims would be based upon these con tentions:
 First-That Miss Stone. although warned of the dangers of the road, per sisted in travelling.
 Secondhand she did not notify the au- thorites of her intention in order to ob- tain an escort, which precaution even the foreign consuls always take when travelling in such outlying insecure dis tricts of the empire; and
 Third-The brigands who kidnapped Miss Stone and her companion were Bulgar- fans; that the coup was planned in Bull garia and that sanctuary was found in Bulgarian territory.

Paris, November LA dispatch from Toulon to the Figaro confirms the re- port of the return of the entire squad ron, and adds that Caillard's division Is still held in readiness to sail at mo- ment's notice.
