FEARS FOR MISS SIONE..
The UnaccOuntabIe Delay in Deliv-
erfng Her to Her Friends is
Causing apprehension.

Washington, Feb. 22.-It is esti-
16 days have now elapsed since the
money for Miss Stones ransom was
paid over to the agents of the bri-
gands.
AT least six days have elapsed be-
yond the time fixed in the stipula-
ton to place her in the hands of her
friends. There is no explanation of
the delay. 1t is hoped that physical
conditions, such as heavy SHOWS and
adverse weather, may account for
the failure to secure her delivery. The
officials are loath to believe that
there has been breach of faith on
the part of the brigands
From the first the United States
government has been adverse to pay
ing ransoms, but, in response to ap-
peals from every quarter, reluctantly
authorized Mr.. Leishman to deal with
the brigands.
However, if it turns out that the
brigands have broken faith, and that
they have either taken the ransom
money and spirited the captives away
again, or that they have killed them,
then there will be no further attempt
to deal with the brigands on the part
of the United States government, but
its entire power will be directed
upon Turkey and upon Bulgaria to
procure the swift and certain exter-
mination of the brigandssregardless
of cost or effort.

TAKEN BACK TO WASHINGTON.
by a sudden Decision Young Roose-
welt IN Removed from the
school InRrmary.

| Groton, Mass, Feb. 21.-Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., who has been al VIII
pneumonia for two weeks in the Gro'
ton school infirmary, is bound foi
Washington tonight. Bundled to his
eyes with blankets, he was taken IN
covered. sleigh from the infirmary
to the special train which had been
in readiness at the Groton station
for several days. He was accom-
panied by Mrs. Roosevelt and DR., T.
M. Rixey, while in another convey
ance was Miss Roosevelt. A light
snow was falling at the time. The
departure of the party was so unex-
pected that not a dozen persons were
on the station platform when tie
train pulled out. The arrangements
for the departure were identica.
with those made for President Roose-
the part of the brigands.
The decision to take young Roose-
velt to Washington was made during
lunch at one o'clock. DR.. Warren,
the school physician, all the morning
had been opposed to change of the
patient at this time and under the
threatening weather conditions.
DR.. Rixey gave his opinion that TIE
boy would stand the journey ak
right, and that the weather at this
time was probably no worse than it
would be tomorrow or possibly Sum
day, judging from the weather fore
cast. At lunch DR.. Warren reluctant
ly consented to allow the patients
removal after it had been pointed
out that if a big storm should come,
as predicted, his removal might be
prevented for several days.
1t was Mrs. Roosevelt's wish also
to have her son in Washington AS
soon as he could be moved with safe
ty. Until this morning the arrange
ments had been made for the party's
return on Saturday, but this noon, in
the discussion, DR.. Rixey pointed out
that if the start was delayed until
morning the storm might cause dc
lay along the road, especially if the
snow was heavy.
Immediately after lunch baggage
was prepared for the departure of
the party and, when, at four O'Clock,
all were driven to the station, very
few in the school knew of it. DR..
Peabody was not informed until near
ly time for the good-byes to be said.

Elaborate Luncheon to Prince Henry
to BE Given by New York's
Moneyed Men.
J. PlERPoNT MORGAA IS STEERING IT,
1t VIII Surpass Anything of the
Kind Ever Attempted in Gotham
The Liveries of the ServitOrs
VIII be Reproduction of En-
gland a Century Ago.

New York, Feb. 22.-Of all the en-
tertainments organized in honor OF
Prince Henry, there will be none
more elaborate than the luncheon to
be given for him at Sherry's, on
Wednesday next, by the representa-
tives of American finance, trade and
industry. The moving spirit in the
affair is J. Pierpont Morgan. In the
way of giving the royal visitor an
idea of the possibilities of American
gastronomy, it is projected to sur
pass anything of the kind that has
ever taken place here. The cost of
the luncheon will be great, and
among the items of expense will be
the highly ornate liveries now being
made for the entire staff of walters
employed in connection with the en-
tertainment. The prince and his en-
tertainers will be surrounded by
servitors who will look as if they
had stepped out of a canvass painted
in the days of the Georges of En-
gland. Each of these servitors,
smooth shaven and of impressive
countenance, will wear. instead of
the conventional swallowtail, a
black cloth coat, with seven cloth
covered black buttons on either sides
beginning at the neck and extending
to the waist. A fine piece of black
braid runs from the button to the
edge of the coat, which is without
lapels and has clerical collar. A
white stock encircles the neck and at
the front of the throat is white
satin bow. Under the coat is
white buttonless waistcoat, the bot
tom coming well down over the
waistband of the black plush breech-
es of full cut, gathered in at the knee
with a band which tops a pair of
white stockings. Patent leather
pumps, with buckles, complete the
costume. The whole outfit is per-
feet reproduction of the livery used
in England century ago, but of
much finer texture.

more rapidly than the male. At the

women than men in London, and of
these women 1,403,S42 are spinsters,
waiting to be asked in marriage,
while there are 97,517 lonely widows,
70 of whom are under 81 years of age,

Our new insular possessions will be
of little commercial value, owning to
their small size, although they have
good harbors and are fertile. The
Island of st. Thomas is so situated as
to be place of great strategic i'm
portance, and, having a fine harbor,
will make splendid coaling station
and base of operations in the West
Indies. This country has long coveted
the possession of St. Thomas, and ne
gotiations have been conducted with
Denmark on several occasions in the
past, but without any agreement be-
ing reached.
