WANTS TO ANNEX MAINE.
David Mills Says Maine Should Go
Over to Canada.

London, Feb. 23.-David Mills, the
Canadian statesman, in an article in the
March number of the Empire Review.
written while Mr.. Mills was Canadian
minister of justice, bitterly assails
President Roosevelt's and Senator
Lodges Interpretation of Monroeism.
He declares that the United States are
so long enamored of their own political
institutions and SO devoted to self-wor-
ship that they think no others are de-
serving of admiration"
Mr.. Mills maintains that it would be
to the State of Names commercial adj
vantage to enter the Canadian Fedora
ton, and says: America has no more
right to dictate to South and Central
America than to Canada"
In conclusion Mr.. Mills quotes the
United States reply to the Barbary
States, I'VE prefer war to tribute"
adding:
"The United States must not be sur
prised when the occasion arises if she
receives from European statesmen an
answer pot unlike that she gave to the
Dey of Algiers. 1t is certain that
similar conclusion will be PREACHED by
Europe whenever an attempt is made
to enforce against any great European
power so degrading a species of vassel-
age as that embraced by the modern
Monroe Doctrine

Miss Stone and Nine. Tsi|ka
and Baby Released.
Arrived at Strumitza, Macedonia, at
3 O'clock Yesterday Morning.
They Are Well and Will at Once Pro.
coed to SaIonika.

Constantinople, Feb. 23.-Miss Ellen
M. Stone, the American missionary,
who, with Nine. Tsilka was captured
by brigands in the district of Salonika,
Sept. last, has been released and ar
rived at Strumitza, Macedonia, at 3
o'clock this morning. Nobody was at
Strumitza to meet Miss Stone, as the
brigands had given no indication where
they proposed to release the prisoner.
Nine. Tsilka and her baby were also
released at the same time. They are all
well. Miss Stone Immediately made
herself known to the authorities at
StrumitZa.
The first news of Miss Stones re-
lease was contained in telegram re-
ceived by Mr.. Dickinson, the American
consul general at Constantinople, from
the vice consul at Salonika. The tele-
gram gives no details of the release. AS
Strumitza is near the Salonika- Uskub
Railroad Miss Stone will proceed to
Salonika without delay.

PORTLAND LIQUOR DEPUTIES
Made 1t Warm for the Dealers Last
Saturday Night.

Portland, Me-, Feb. 23-Two deputy
sheriffs. passing John ii. HammOnd's
drug store on Free street, Saturday
night, saw a customer in the act of
receiving package from the proprie-
tor. They asked the customer what
the package contained and he handed
it to them. 1t was bottle of whiskey.
They arrested Hammond and he was
arraigned before bail commissioner.
Mr.. Libby, the customer, accOmpa-
MED the officers to the sheriff's office,
followed by a crowd of boys. John Sui
livan and Martin Sullivan called and
wanted to furnish bail for Libby, but
were told that he was not under arrest.
The deputies ordered the office cleared.
Bail Commissioner CULVER declined to
leave the office and he was forcibly
elected by Deputy Plummer.
Mrs. Sarah Lent, who a week ago
Saturday night, escaped from the depu-
ty sheriffs by jumping from a window
and sliding down a shed roof into a
snow drift was arrested again, Sat-
urday. on a search and seizure warrant,
and again she escaped from her GUS
todian, this time leaving her kitchen
on the pretence of going to the shed
for a bod of coal.
Two seizures were made at 81 Centre
street. Mrs. Moylan of 20 Beach street
smashed several pitchers on her kitchen
floor when the officers called. The
pitchers had contained a small quantity
of whiskey.
Deputies Plummer and Skillings
caught another man by a clever ruse.
They sent one of the special staff to
a drugstore. where he is alleged to have
secured bottle of whiskey The spec
ial played the part of a green country
man. The matter will go before Judge
Hill, Monday.

WORK OF MAcEDoNIANs.
Simply After Money to Help Along
Fight for Freedom.

New York, Feb. 23.-First secretary Of
the United States legation at CONSTANT
nople, who had charge of the negotiations
for the release of Miss Ellen M. Stone and
Nine. Tsilka- arrived here. today. on the
kronprinZ Wilhelm. In an interview he
said the brigands captured an American
rather than any other missionary because
they believed the Americans had the most
money and would be liable to pay the
ransom.
Did the brigands want the money for
themselves" Mr.. Eddy was asked
No. they did not. and that is where
this case 1t is entirely a political mat
ter and all the people in Macedonia arc
in sympathy with the kidnapping, for
they believe ii is a step toward freeing
Macedonia from Turkish rule. the same
as Bulgaria has been. and the money
they demanded S100.000) was intended for
the Macedonian cause.
IF We had been dealing with profess
sional brigands who wanted money pure
and simple. instead of the political ones.
Miss Stone would have been released long
ago. 1t is very likely that this capture
was deliberated upon for long time AM
the victims selected were considered best
to serve the cause when compared with
those of other nationalities."
do the Macedonians have any feeling
of enmity toward the missionaries?"
mo, they are rather friendly to them
than otherwise They desired to attract
are attention of the world to their cause
and incidentally to get some much needed
money / have every reason to believe
they have given Miss Stone and her com
panion in captivity the very best OF
treatment from all we can learn.
II have had five letters from Miss Stone
written i'm Bulgarian SO her captors could
read them, and they were masterpieces
in cIeverness and diplomacy. Miss Stone
is very courageous woman.
"Ninety-seven thousand five hundred
dollars is the total sum on deposit to the
credit of the brigands."
