London, March 3O.-Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone, the American missionary, ar
rived at London yesterday. She said
to the Associated Press:
Il am very tired, but glad to be
here. / cannot reiterate too often my
thanks to my many friends on the
other side. | shall be delighted to get
home once more"
Miss Stone is staying at a friends
house, where she, so far, has success
fully evaded the small army of re
porters that has been securing London
In search of her. Ray Stannard Baker,
who brought Miss Stone from Salonica
30 London, said to the Associated
Press:
"All through Turkey and Servia
crowds were waiting at the stations
and pressed around the car in the hope
OF seeing Miss Stone. Until we got
10 Servia the most stringent precau-
tons were taken by officials TO pre-
vent a repetition of the kidnapping.
II will be long time before Miss

captivity She scarcely slept until
she reached Ostend yesterday and is
still very nervous and slightly lame
as a result of fall from a horse
while she was in the hands of the
krigands. Since her release Miss
Stones time has been greatly taken
up with letters from al parts of the
world, evincing the sympathy and in
terest which her capture created
During nearly all the journey from Sa-
lonica Miss Stone wrote assiduously

Dickinson Loses Place.
Washington, March 30.-As one re-
suit of his activities in the Stone
case, Mr.. Dickinson has lost his posi-
tion as diplomatic representative to
Bulgaria. When in Sofia last fall he
addressed strong representations to
the Bulgarian minister of foreign af-
fairs. Apparently he has not been for
given for new information comes that
he is persona-non-grata. A minister
or diplomatic agent cannot be re
tanned at a place against the will of
the country to which he is accredited
That is Dickinson's position. Dickin-
son is consulgeneral at Constatinople
besides being the diplomatic agent to
Bulgaria, and received a lump salary
of $4,000 per annum.

Rowleshurg run in four scores before they
got down to business again. This lost the
out every other inning except one score IN
the first and our boys were shut out every
inning except the fifth when Art Egick and
Hoy Jackson scored and Ross Jackson in
tue "''h. i"'' m'ue the Sc"te 10 IN

Another naval hero who has come
in for a certain reward for his
services in the Spanish War is
Captain Clark who commanded the
Oregon in her record trip around
Cape Horn and rendered such eff
fective assistance to Admiral Schlcy
in the destruction of the Spanish
fleet. The President has forwarded
to the Senate the nomination of
Captain Clark as rear admiral and
has advanced him seven numbers SO
that when he is retired it will be as
senior rear admiral. This
recongnition of Captain Clark's
services comes rather late but will
doubtless be quite welcome. 1t waa
feared that the Captains declination
of the Presidents appointment, as
naval attache of the special embassy
sent to attend the coronation of
Edward VII, would operate against
his promotion but if Mr.. Roosevelt
felt any chragrin at having his offer
declined he has not permitted it to
affect the promise he made long
since to the Captain. The Senate
has confirmed the nomination.

with them.
Several amendments were made

prizes were made S3s and $40 in :
stead of SIS, $Io and S.. The
Board reserved the right to reject
any or all who are not up to standard.
There are not to be more than three
contestants in defamation or there
shall be a preliminary contest.

600.
Prof. A. ]. Hare was made

One of the most important orders

cording to length of service in the
University.
The Board adopted this. Here.

salary of every member of the faculty.
for every five years service he has
given the institution. The amour,
to be paid out under the order to
any member of the faculty is not to
exceed $1,000
1t will take about 81, 500 a year
now to conform with this order and
many of the faculty are affected by
it. Some of them go to the limit or
account of their long services which
are hereafter to be recognized in a
substantial manner.
