Gy-Wiu Take Severe Action.
Washington, Feb. 24.-The topic of
chief interest in senatorial circles,
Washington, is the fight in the SEN
ate, Saturday, between Senators Till
man and McLaurin. of South Caro-
lima. There have been Il number of
conferences among senators as to
what would be done to preserve the
dignity of the senate and to manifest
it's sentiment with reference to the
two senators who violated its tradi-
tons. While no plan of procedure
has been agreed upon, it is learned
that there will be very deliberate
action, and it is said to be more than
likely that it will be not less than
thirty days before the South Carolina
senator's are restored to their full
power as senator's, this deliberation
on their case being in the nature of u
punishment, since they will not be
| allowed to address the senate or
vote until no longer in contempt of
the senate.
Senator Burrows is chairman of
the committee on privileges and cleo
tons, and last night he said that in
advance of any meeting of the com
mittee he could not say what would
be done, but he added that the mat
ter is of such serious import that it
must receive careful consideration.
1t is understood the conferences
among senator's have shown the eX-
istcnce of a considerable sentiment
that the apologies made by the South
Carolina senator's are not deemed
sufficient. and that the committee
will require more ample apologies.
The whole matter, as stated in the
senate debate, yesterday, is without
precedent, and the senate is now to
make a precedent in the matter Of
punishment and in requiring sufii.
Gent apology. The conferences have
developed the fact that the senators
regard the matter with all the sc.
robustness with which they dealt will
1t Saturday, and that they intend tx
take such action as will prevent, il
possible, similar episodes occurring
In the future. 1t is probable that am
pie written apologies viii. be required

THE OBJECT OF THE CAPTURE.

Merely, but for Political Effect.

We're Not KIDNAPPED Tor money
Merely, but for Political Effect.
New York, Feb. 24.-Spcncer Eddy,
first secretary OF the United States
legation at Constantinople, who had
charge of the negotiations for the re-
lease of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone and Mrs.
Tsilka, arrived here, yesterday, on
the Kron Prinz Wilhelm. In an in
terview he said the brigands cap
tured an American rather than II
other missionary, because they be-
lieved the Americans had the most
money and would be likely to pay
the ransom.
'Did the brigands want the money
for themselves" Mr.. Eddy was
asked.
"No, they did not: and that is
where the people in American do not
understand this case. 1t is entirely
a political matter, and all the people
in Macedonia are in sympathy with
the kidnapping, for they believe it is
a step toward freeing Macedonia
from Turkish rule, the same as Bull
garia has been, and the money they
demanded ($100,000) was intended for
the Macedonian cause.
"lf we had been dealing with the
professional brigands who want
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 de-
liberated upon for a long time. and
the victims selected were considered
best to serve the cause. when com
pared with those of other nationals
ties"
do the Macedonians have any feel
ing of enmity toward the missiona-
ries?"
No. They are rather friendly to
them than otherwise. They desired
to attract the 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
treatment. When Mrs. Tsilka's baby
was born she received the kindest
treatment, from all we can learn.
81 have had five letters from Miss
Stone, written in Bulgarian, so her
captors could read them, and they
were masterpieces in cleverness and
diplomacy. Miss Stone is a very
courageous woman .
Won't Turkey attempt to punish
the ringleaders?"
turkey will have a problem on her
hands if she does, for the Mace
domains have risen up as one man in
their determination to be freed from
Turkey, and this kidnapping of two
American missionaries may be called
Chapter One in their plan for liber-
ty."
Mr.. Eddy will visit Washington on
official business and then proceed to
his former home, Chicago, for a visit.
