The brigands, who were supposed to be
members Of the Macedonian committee,
hurried their captives into the Bulgarian
mountains, complicating the international
situation and making it difficult for the
United States to put pressure on either
Turkey or Bulgaria for the release of
the captive. By means of their usual
channels the brigands let it be known
that unless a ransom of $4,000 was
forthcoming within thirty days Miss
Stone would either be put to death or
compelled to marry one of the bandits.
United States Consul General Dickin-
son undertook the negotiations with the
captors, but without success. The Rus
sian diplomatic agent at Sofia, NJ. Bak-
hmetieff. succeeded in establishing COM
munication with the brigands, but only
elected the reply that the ransom must
be paid before the prisoner would be re-
leased. Negotiations having failed, Mr..
Dickinson returned to Constantinople and
the captives have since been kept among
the hills enduring all the seventies of
a Bulgarian winter in the open air.
Those who were released by the brig
ands said they wore Turkish clothes, but

NATIONS ROYAL GUEST.

Kaiser's Brother Receives Hearty
Greeting as He Reaches New York.
Prince Henry. brother of the German
Emperor, accompanied by a brilliant staff
of officers high in rank in the German
army and navy, is now a guest of the
United States. The prince arrived on the
steamer Kronprinz Wilhelm at New
York shortly before noon Sunday.
His official welcome, which began with
the firing of salutes by Fort Wadsworth
and Fort Hamilton, the boarding the
Kronprinz off Fort Wadsworth by Rear
Admiral Robley D. Evans and his staff,
and salutes Of twenty-one guns each from
the battleship Illinois and the cruisers
Olympia, Cincinnati and San Francisco,
was continued after the prince boarded
the royal yacht Hohenzolern by a series
of official calls from Mayor Low, Admiral
Barker and his staff, Gen. Brooke and
staff, and the German ambassador and
staff.
Events followed swiftly once the steam
er bringing Prince Henry hove in sight.
In due time the special representative
Of President Roosevelt boarded the krOn-
prinz Wilhelm and offered the nations
welcome Then the navy. army and city
w
for their respective constituents. Prince
Henry landed and went aboard the kais-
er's imperial yacht, the Hohenzollern.
Later he returned the calls of his visitors,
in the course of which he went aboard
the battleship Illinois.
Great crowds were on hand to greet the
arrival of Prince Henry, but few persons
caught more than a glimpse of him when
the Kronprinz Wilhelm tied up at the
landing. Militiamen and police kept the
crowd far back. Piers and all ships IN
the harbor were gay with flags and bunt-
ing and there were American bands IN
numerous places. These played German
airs Aboard the Kronprinz Wilhelm
was the crack German band and this
played THE Star-Spangled Banner" and
other patriotic American airs as the big
liner plowed its way through the harbor.
The wharves were lined with thousands
of shouting Americans in gala day dress.
The unofficial welcome although unac-
companied by gold lace and the roar OF
cannon, was none the less sincere and APP
parently was quite as much appreciated
by the distinguished visitor as were the
more perfunctory ceremonies.
The popular welcome began with the
footing of tug and steamboat whistles
far down the lower bay when the huge
Kronprinz first doomed in shadoWy out
line out of the mist that hung over the
water. The liner had arrived at the bar
at $50 a. m.
The whistle blowing continued In In
creasing volume all the way up the bay
and the North river. and on the final
home stretch from the Battery to the
pier was accompanied by the shouts and
cheers of thousands upon thousands OF
people, who swarmed along the sea walls
and on every pier lead on both sides OF
the river.
Standing alone. erect and clear cut in
his handsome uniform of an admiral, on
the extreme end of the ships bridge, the
prince returned these greetings by repeat
edly touching his hat.
The thread of events as planned was
taken up Sunday by the princes depart
ure at midnight for Washington, and
with no i'll luck to prevent will be carried
out to the letter until his departure for
Germany.

its kind in the history of the government.
The assault on Charles Sumner by Mr..
Brooks in antebellum days occurred
after an adjournment. There have been
other serious clashes. but it is believed
no two members of Congress ever before
engaged in fist fight on the floor of eth
err house.
Both men have been declared in con-
tempt the Senate and action upon the
case has been deferred until the COM
mittee on privileges and elections shall
make its report.
In the course of a heated debate over
the Philippine tariff bill McLaurin gave
the lie direct to Tillman, who had previ-
ously repeated the old story about Nc
Laurin having sold out to the late Re-
publican administration in order to obtain
control of the federal patronage of his
State.
Quicker than thought Iillman, who
had listened to his colleague with the
closest attention, sprang out of his chair.
His desk is in the center aisle next to
the last row. McLaurin's desk is on the
same row two desks removed. Usually
Senator Bailey of Texas and Senator
Teller of Colorado are seated between
only Senator Teller was between them.
Tillman fairly jumped over Teller and
landed on his feet close enough to Nc
Laurin to deal him a stunning blow over
the left eye.
McLaurin Returns the Blow.
McLaurin, who saw his fre-eating col
league coming, did not retreat, but, on
the contrary, put up his hands and re-
turned blow for blow. He did not act on
the defensive. His guird, however, was
beaten down by Tillman's effective rush.
The Senators spared and punched at
each other until Barney Layton, an as
sistant sergeant-at-arms, who had left his
place near the Presidents desk, antici-
pating trouble the instant McLaurin be-
gan to speak, jumped in between the fu-
rious Senators and began to push them
apart.
| Senator Teller, who notwithstanding
his y years is active and muscular, seiz-
| ed Tillman and proceeded to drag him
! away. Senator Bacon of Georgia seized
McLaurin. Heitfeldt of Idaho, a giant
| in stature: Patterson of Colorado, Tallia-
| ferro of Florida, who hiss shoulders that
would be priced by a professional wrest-
| Ter; Mallory of Florida, Pritchard Of
| North Carolina. Warren of Wyoming
and half dozen other Senators quickly
surrounded the combatants.
Before the South Carolinians could be
parted they had clinched and undoubted-
| ly would have engaged in a desperate
| fight if they had not been separated. Till
man was escorted to his desk. where he
sat down, looking pale and excited. Nc
Laurin. over whose eye a great, angry

chair but was not given the privilege.
