MISS STONE MAY BE DEAD.
Spirited Away Again or Murdered
by BriHands.

spirited Away Again or Murdered
by Brigands.
Washington, Feb. 22.-Fear>is expressed
in Washington that Miss Stone has again
been spirited away or that she was MUIR
dered by the brigands even before the
ransom was paid.
It is estimated at the state department
that fifteen days ave now elapsed since
the money for. Miss Stones ransom was
paid over to the agents Of the brigands.
At least five days have elapsed beyond
the time fixed in the stipulation to place
her in the hands of her friends. There is
no explanation for the delay. It 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
A Breach of Faitl,
on the part Of h %brigands, but even II
this were so, they do not regard them
selves as blameworthy for having trusted
them. From h first, the United states
government has been adverse to paying
the ransom, but in response to appeals
from every quarter, it reluctantly au-
thorized Mr.. Leishman to deal with the
brigandS.
However, IL it turns out that the
brigands have broken faith and that they
either have 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 n upon Bulgaria
to procure the swift and certain extermt-
nation Of the brigands, regardless Of cost
or effort.

Huron, s. D., Feb. 25.-Attorney Cen
eral John L. Pyle is dead. The last
spark Of life departed about midnight
Saturday night after a tremendous fight
with disease. covering a period Of more

leading attorneys OF South Dakota. He
had been home only a few days from at

and attorneys general at Helena, Mont,
in relation to the railroad merger about
tn. FIRST of January, when he was
stricken with typhoid fever. His strong
constitution gave assurance to his
friends that there was no occasion for
alarm. The fever run its course. and
the danger was thought passed, but
his heart was weakened SO that during
the last few days hopes Of his recovery
had been abandoned.

with Nine. Tsilka, vas captured by
brigands in the district Of Salonika
Sept. 8 last, has been released and ar
rived at Strumitza, Macedonia, at s
o'clock yesterday morning. :
Nobody was at Strumitza to meet
Miss Stone, as the brigands had given
40 indication that they proposed to re-
lease the prisoners. Nine. Tsilka and
her baby were also released at the same
time. The first news of Miss Stones
release was contained in a telegram re-
ce.ved by Mr.. Dickinson, the Ameican
consul general at Constantinople, from
the American vice consul at Salonica.
The telegram gives no details of the re-
lease. AS Strumitza is near the Salon
ika-Uskub railroad, Miss Stone will
proceed to Salonika without delay.

London, Feb. 24.-Cabling from Con-
startinople, the correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle says he understands
that, owing to the necessity Of pro-
tecting the innocent persons who assis-
ted them, the American delegates will
lever divulge where and how the ran
"om money for the release Of Miss
Stone was paid. The correspondent
learns. however. that the ruse of filling
up money bags with lead after The
ransom had been paid. with q view to
making it appear that the mission to
Jay the ransom had failed. was COM
pletely successful. 1t is practically
certain that the ransom money gose to
the Macedonian committee.
Miss Stone, continues the cores
,pondent, is certainly innocent Of any
knowledge Of the plot to kidnep here,
but strong suspicious are entertained
about some B%ulgarians who accompa-
MED her party, or remained behind.

Washington, Feb. 18.-The unexpected

the bill to repeal the war evenue *
was passed unanimously without q

outcome Of a challenge thrown down
by Mr.. Richardson of Tennessee, the

for the consideration of the bill which
permitted debate upon 1t until 4 o'clock

free expression, not only by the Demo-
Gratis, but by some of the Republicans,
attention being especially called toward

Of the bill to amend the steel schedule
of the present tariff law. They also
charged that such a method OF pro-
cedure was minimizing the influence OF
the house and making it simply a ma
chine to register the DEGREES of the few
men in control. Mr.. Babcock said that
he supported the program on the
ground that the issue presented for the
repeal of the war revenue taxes should
not be complicated with other matters.
At the same time he gave notice that
he would press his own bill at the nrst
opportunity. Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsyl-
