BANDITS MAKE TERMS.
Demand Ransom for Miss Stone BE
Paid Before Release.

CONsTANTINoPLE, January Pit is
understood that the American negotiators
for the release of Miss Ellen NJ Stone and
her companion Madam Tsilka, to whom
the money subscribed for the ransom of
the captive missionaries was sent, may
have to trust the fund to the brigands for
some days before the latter release the
captives in accordance with the precedent
adopted in the cases Of previous brigand-
ages.
The bandits are said to insist on this
point, in order to enable them to dispose
of the cash before retaliative measures can
be organized. There is some risk in adopt
ing this course, but the behavior of Miss
Stones captors thus far encourages conf
dence that they will fulfill their engage
mentS.

thorities have applied to Washington for
the extradition of Herr Schmidt.
The grain drying company of Cassel was
one of the most prominent German indus
trial undertakings, but had for a long time
been sharply attacked in the financial
press, owing to its methods of doing bus

MAY INHERIT WEALTH.
Boulder Man May Secure Portion Of
the Fair Estate.

Denver, Aug. 1G.-A Colorado man
will in all probability enter q claim 80
portion of the enormous Fair es-
tates left by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Fair, who We're killed in an automo-
bile accident near Paris, France.
Thursday. c. ]. Smith of Boulder is
brother of Mrs. Fair and he was in
Denver yesterday, stopping at No.
1927 Stout street. The Paris dis
patches do not tell whether Mr.. or Mrs.
Fair died first. ON this point hinge
the chances of the Colorado heir.
Mrs. Charles Fair was, twenty years
or SO ago, Miss Caroline Smith. or. as
she was generally known by her step
fnther's name. Caroline Nelson. Her
marriage to Charles Fair. the son of
the multi-millionaire. Senator Fair of
San Francisco. caused the young
mans disicheritance at the time and
created furore In society circles in
the Golden Gate city. With her death
is likely TO begin again litigation
over the Fair millions. for. though 1t
Is understood very generally that
Charles Fair Intended that none of the
Fair family should have penny of
the money he Ind TO fight SO persist
emily to secure, 1t is not probable that
the Fairs will let slip through their
fingers SO large sum of money.
If 1t is proved that Mrs. Fairs
death followed. by even few min
utes. that of her husband, the Smith
family, represented In Colorado by Mr..
Smith of Boulder and in New Jersey
by Mrs. Fairs aged mother and sew
eral brothers and sisters, will have
comparatively little trouble. 1t is be-
lieved, in securing their claim. for Mr.
Smith said yesterday afternoon that
three years ago he saw copy of his
sisters will and it left everything she
might have at her death to her own
relatives

Harris vs.. ferril.

This controversy, which bids fair to
became as famous as the suit OF Bar
dell VS.. Pickwick, has at last elected an
opinion from the legal adviser OF the
state. The case is one which involves
the prerogatives and dignity of two
state officials. Curator Ferril Of the
State Historical Society was out secur-
ing specimens one day, as was ms
wont, when Game Warden Harris
came up and placed him under arrest
on the charge of violating the game
laws of the state by Strengthening song
birds. The birds were seized and the
game commissioner has since held
them. Ferril made formal demand
about three weeks ago for the return
of the birds. which was refused.
The Denver News of August l4th re-
ports the latest developments as fol-
lows:
Game Commissioner Harris now has
an answer to his inquiry to the nttor-
ney general. in the matter disputed
with. Mr.. Ferril of the State Historical
Society, which pleases him immensely
Mr.. Harris asked Mr.. Post three ques-
tions. and Is satisfied with the reply
to all of them. They We're as follows:
First-Is it lawful to sell or offer to
sell any part of game quadruped that
is protected by the laws of the state?
Second-Are song birds or insectivori
Gus birds protected by the laws of the
! state? Third-Can they be taken for
scientific purposes without Il permit to
do so?
Attorney General Post replies MS fol-
lows: "First-Game Quadrupeds can
only be used under the law for food
consumption. when taken in the guam
titles and at the times prescribed by
the act. To offer for sale any part of
such game is violation of the law,
unless it be lawfully imported and evi-
! denced by proper invoices as provided
| in the act.
"Second-Song birds and insectivor-
Gus birds are protected by section 10
of the laws of 1897, which has not
| been repealed as far MS l know. and
does not conflict with the laws of 1889.
"Third-By section 81 of the laws of
| 1897 certificates may be granted to per-
sons therein named and under the con-
ditions prescribed to take game, ETC..
for scientific purposes. but this section
was modified by section of division
| II of the laws of 1899 to reduce the fee
for the permit from 50 to ST.
Mr.. Harris says Mr.. Ferril has no
permit and so has unlnwfully confiscat-
ed the birds. The game commissioner
| has also consulted many prominent at
! torneys on the subject, and says that
although he will not make Mr.. Ferril
any trouble. he wants him to under
stand that he must abide by the state
taw. He added:
Il don't believe that l would give
/, him permit to kill snowbird now"

TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION.
International Union Decides to Next
Meet at Washington.

Cincinnati. Ohio, Aug. 15.-At the
meeting of the International Typo
graphical Union yesterday was close
contest between Washington and New
ark for the next convention. Inc lor'
mer city won because it was thought
that more could be done for favorable
legislation by meeting at the. nationai
capital than at any other place.
The fight between the American FED
Grafton of Labor and the American La
bor Union was brought before the con-
ventiOn to-day by letter to PRESIDENT
Lynch from ii. l.. Sholdice of Denver
Union No. 40. Sholdlce wanted the
printers to refuse to allow Its mem-
bers to become affiliated with other
unions outside the printing trade, while
still retaining membership in the Inter
national Typographical Union. he
cited that there was nothing in the
laws of the organization to prevent lin
otype machlnists from belonging to the
Printers and Machinists' Union at the
same time.
The proposition was voted down, as
was also proposition to exclude mar
ried women from membership in typo
graphical unions.
A proposition that was made law
provides that strike or lockout may
be declared off by majority vote of
the unions involved, while a three
fourths vote is necessary to declare Il
strike or lockout.
At the afternoon session the commit
tee on laws reported back the PROPOSE
tion that the practice by foremen OF Sc
lecting their forces from day to day be
prohibited. 1t was adopted, with an
amendment that the local unions
should lave the minimum number of
regular situations fixed In different Of
fees. The committee on law also re
ported back the following, which was
adopted:
1.-The practice of interchanging and
buying matter previously used. either
In type, matEices or photo engraviDgs.
between newspaper or job offices not
owned by the same firm and published
in the same establishment, is unlawful
and shall not be allowed"
The annual convention of stereotyp-
ers and electrotypers decided to meet
