CONSTANTINOPLE, March 9. - The
American legation here to-day presented
TO the Porte the second note in reference
to the capture of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone. In
this note it is pointed out that, as Miss
Stone was captured, the ransom paid, and
the prisoners delivered in Turkey, the brig
ands must be within the Turkish frontier
and therefore should be captured.
The note denies that the authorities were
ever required to lessen their vigilance on
the frontier, and asserts that only the
movements of the troops in the interior
were interfered with.
The first note presented to the Porte by
the United States legation at CONSTANT
nople in the matter of Miss Stones capture
by brigands demanded the punishment of
the guilty parties The Porte. in replying,
repudiated responsibility.

American and French COnsuIs at
Loggerheads in Tien-Tsin.

TIEN-TSIN. March 9-The mission prop
erty here. which is in dispute between
the French and American consuls, is less
than two acres in extent. 1t borders the
American missionary property and was
previously occupied by undesirable China
men. The French consul stopped building
operations on the disputed property and
placed a policeman there. The French flag
has not been raised over the property.
The American consul here. James w.
Ragsdale, is maintaining a firm attitude,
and does not believe serious developments
10 be likely. The affair is in the hands of
the French and American ministers at
Picking.
The English Methodist Mission OF Lon
don. the American Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions and the American
Methodist Mission all have property within
the extension claimed by the French in
June. 1900. Since that time the American
missions have purchased the adjoining
piece Of property. The French now claim
this latter property and have been collect
ing rents and levying taxes thereon. Mr.
Ragsdale protested against such actions
and caused American flags to be hoistcd
over the property in question.

Scarcity of Money in London.

LONDON, March 9-The scarcity of
money during the past week continued to
restrict operations on the stock exchange
and the market was unable TO free itself
from its indebtedness to the bank. The
continent is showing some inclination to
employ funds here, but there are small
prospects of easy money before the end
of March. Consequently the week has been
dull and profitless. The discovery by Lord
Kitchener of a Boer magazine near Reitz,
Orange River Colony, could be counted
upon to start this weeks business cheer
fully were it not for the persistent reports
of the illness of Cecil Rhodes. which is
casting a cloud over the whole market.
American securities, Influenced by the gold
export and the uncertainties in the case of
the Northern Securities Company, shared
the general stagnation of the past week.

Freight in New Jersey.

NEW BRUNSWICK, y. J., March 9.-The

and unpleasant experience between Tren-
ton and this city. Two dead men were

by the train itself. and once the train was
stopped to search for a body, which could
not be found.
The run from Philadelphia was unevent-
full until, as the train approached Princeton
Junction it hit and killed a man. The
train stopped and the body was cared for
and left at the junction TO be shipped TO
Trenton.
When near Monmouth Junction the train
stopped at a signal from the head
brakeman. who said it had hit another man
and he had seen the body hurled into "A
ditch. A search of the track for a mile
back failed to locate the supposed victim

BERLIN, March 9.-Some of the daily
papers have begun summing up Prince

tone is one Of complete satisfaction. They

that it's most sanguine expectations have

Fate of Trunks in Pawn.
New York SUM-

What becomes of all the baggage
yearly left in New York hotels? There
is nota hotel in this city worthy of the
name that does not weekly hold the
trunks of some departed guest. In the
course of year these pledges accumu-
late.
AS matter of fact they are of very
little worth to the hotel keepers =
rarely happens that the trunks contain
anything very valuable; and their con-
tents would bring little If they We're
sold. The clothing, which is about all
that is found in them, is of course use
full only to the persons for whom it was
made.
So these trunks are usually piled up
for months and forgotten until they are
quite useless and are thrown away
Their room is generally worth more
than they. In many cases they are re-
deemed and In others it happens that
the landlord, after having lost all hope
of being paid returns the property tc
its owner. This happens with particu-
lar frequency in the case of women
Sometimes the trunks are, after Ger.
tain length of time, sent to an auction
room, where they are sold for so little
that the result is not worth the trouble
So retaining, baggage is very made
quate substitute for money in the ma
jOrity Of cases.
