PRESIDENT is
TO BE HEDGED IN
With SOLDIERS

Washington. March 1-Senator Turner
discussing a phase of the TiIman-Mc-
Laurin incident, said:
THE present occupant of the chair. Mr..
Frye, has made a statement concerning
recent occurrences in the senate. i'm the
course of which he did me the honor TO
apologize to me for not entertaining an
appeal which 1 had taken from his de-
cision."
Mr.. Turner said that as the senate was
about to attend the memorial services Of
the late President Mckinley. he was pre-
vented from making Acknowledgement Of
the kindly and courteous act Of the chair
He desired now to make such acknOwl-
edgment. although he felt that tho apoI-
Ogy of the char vas unnecessary.
The resolution vaS then referred to the
committee on privileges and elections
The protest of Senator Tiilman, presented
Thursday, was referred TO the same COM
Inittee.
The omnibus claims bill, which yester-
day was made n continuing order for
today, was taken up and the completion
OF its reading was passed. The senate
then considered bills on the private pen
sion calendar, passing fOTty-SiX OF the
measures. The senate passed a Joint res
olutiOn providing for the printing Of $500
copies of the proceedings Of the Schley
court Of inquiry.
The bill for the protection Of the presi-
dent of the United States was then laid
before the senate. Mr.. Hoar. chairman of
the judiciary committee, said IL seemed
TO the committee that for many obvious
reasons any attempt TO Kill the president
ought to be taken cOgnizance Of by the
federal courts rather than by the state
courts. Relative to section Z of the biz
directing that the secretary of war should
provide a military guard for the protee-
ton Of the president, he though all care
ful observers must agree that the de-
tective police upon which dependence
now was had, had not accomplished its
purpose upon at least three important &C.
casions-
The purpose OF the provision was 90
make some officers Of the government
responsible for the protection Of the pres
ideut.
Mr. Pettus of Alabama maintained that
the military guard ought to be provided.
he expressed his conviction that If there
had been a military guard, not one OF the
presidential assassinations would have &C.
CURED. Perfect protection. he thought.
was not possible. bat he remarked sar-
castically that the only blow struck for
the life of the president at Buffalo was
struck by a negro Such a situation
would scarcely have been possible If a
proper military guard had been provided.
The bill was laid aside without action.

MISS STONE AND
THE BANDITS
Story of Her Travels While With
the BTigands.
BABE A SOURCE OF TROUBLE
BORN IN CAPTIVITY, THE LIT
TIE ONE BARELY SURVIVED.

TONSTANTINOPLE. March 1.-The
story of Miss Stones release and
the travels Of the bandits with
their captives told in full. is as fol-
lows:
After the capture of the missionaries
near Bansko, Sept. last, the brigands
had to recrOss the boundary and es-
tablished themselves on the mountain
of Gueltepe, in The EHedere district,
Bulgaria, where the whole population
was in sympathy with the enterprise.
This fact enabled the band to live com
fortably and safely and to keep in
touch with the outside world. While
awaiting the result of their efforts 10
secure the ransom, the brigands drew
their supplies from the adjacent village
of Ledjuma
Keeling perfectly secure, the mem
beTs Of the band used II show them
selves openly in Kamencia and neigh
borhOod until they were warned by
their local adherents to be more care
full
The prisoners, however, were jealous
~ secluded. When G. VI. Dickinson,
United States consul general at Con-
stantinOple, arrived in October last and
disclosed TO the authorities the where
abouts of Miss Stones captors, the re-
suit was almost disastrous to the pris-
oners.
The Bulgarian government Had
visedly pushed troops to the vicinity Of
Gueltepe, forcing the brigands to break
off negotiations, and the band changed
its quarters to KilO. The cold weather
made travel in the mountains a dread
full ordeal for Miss Stone and Nine.

the latter's infant.
Always Travelled at Night.
Every change OF camp occurred at
night. 1he mountain roads we're fre-
quenJiy almost impassaDIe, being often
deep in SNOW.
The brigands treated their captives
as Kindly as the circumstances permit
ted, but the food supply was necessari-
iy precariOus, though the ladies were
given the best the luhospitaDle region
afforded The SlIain and suspense
eQualed the physical hardships. The
captives at no time knew their where
abOuts, the brigands always telling
them they were not in Bulgaria, and
they were in constant fear OF attack by
the troops, whom the friendship of the
natives was not always able to prevent
coming close upon the trail Of the band
An equal cause Of anxiety was the
baby. which it was frequently feared
would die from exposure.
Not until Nov. 2 did the American
emissaries come in touch with the
band, which WIS then established in
a cave near Dubnitza, but fear Of the
troops forced the bTigands to another
fight. This was made in a binding
snowstoTm, which covered the tracks
of the outlaws but caused bitter suf-
ferings to the captives. After this the
brigands succeeded in completely elud-
ing the authorities, and toward the end
of November, by long circuit they
succeeded in returning to their old
haunts in the ElledeTe district. They
then caused to be circulated a report
that the caPtives We're dead, and from
that time managed TO keep Miss Stone
and Nine. Tsilfa under cover until the
ransom money was paid.
