MISS STONE IN LONDON.
Has Not Recovered From the Effects
of Her Captivity.


London, March 31.-Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone, the American missionary, arriv-
ed Saturday. She said:
II am very tired, but am glad to
be here. l cannot reiterate too often
my thanks to my American friends on
the other side. / shall be delighted to
get home once more"
Miss Stone listened eagerly to the
reading of copy of the dispatch detail
ing the interview had with her at
Vienna Thursday last. YES" she
said, that is just what said and the
way 1 feel. / cannot say any more
than is known about the causes for
the kidnapping. The idea that Silka
had anything to do with it is just as
absurd and cruel as when some people
limited 1 had connived at my own alb
duction.
Yes, Macedonia is in very troubled
state. 1T is seething. What Is going
to happen 1 do not know. The govern
ment must settle who must make
amends for our capture.
Throughout my captivity felt the
hand of God guiding and protecting
me. Why my people are SO anxious
to see me and hear what have to say
puzzles me. If l had done something
myself I could understand, but I was
only an unwilling agent in the incident,
which, hope and pray, will eventuaAiy
benefit the work of the gospel in oul-
garia and Turkey"
Miss Stone is staying at a friends
house, where she has so far success
fully evaded an army of reporters who
have been securing London in search Of
her. While she talked Miss Stone con-
stantly played with her umbrella and
started nervously at any noise. The
lines in her face show the anxiety she
has gone through.
Pay Stannard Baker, who brought
Miss Stone from Salonica to London,
said:
1.-The interest Miss Stone created was
extraordinary. All through Turkey
and Servia the crowds waiting Mt the
stations pressed around the car in the
hope of seeing Miss Stone. Some OF
those who knew her came In, talked
with her and bade her farewell. Un-
til we got to Servia the most stringent
precautions We're taken by the officials
to prevent a repetition of the kidnap-
ping.
"One Of the most interesting parting
scenes was the baptism of the Tsilka
baby last Sunday. The ceremony oc-
CURED In Mr.. Houses little Bulgarian
chapel at Salonica. Miss Stone became
godmother, and the baby was named
the Bulgarian equivalent for Ellen.
1T will be long time before Miss
Stone RECEIVERS from the effects OF her
captivity. She scarcely slept until she
Ostend Friday evening, and is still
very nervous and slightly lame as the
result of the fall from her horse while
she was in the hands of the brigands
Since her release Miss stones time has
been great taken up with letters
from all parts OF the world. evincing
the sympathy and interest which her
capture created. During nearly all the
journey from Salonlca Miss Stone
wrote isslduously In an endeavor to
answer these correspondents"

WILL coLoNlzE GERMANS.
Grand junction Sugar Factory So
Decides.

Denver, March 31.-The Republican
of yesterday prints the following:
At a meeting of the directors and
stockholders of the Colorado Sugar
Company held yesterday afternoon, it
was decided to bring from Germany
to Grand Junction German families to
grow beets for the factory, and to
straighten up the financial difficulties
of the old company. The following
officers were elected
William Gelder, president; ]. II. Nc
Kinnie, Colorado Springs, vice presi-
dent and treasurer; Il. J. McFarlane,
Grand Junction, secretary. Judge AL
fred Hand, Scranton, Pennsylvania,
was put on the board Of directors and
one place was held vacant to be filed
by director chosen from the Grand
Junction interests in the plant. Mr..
McKinnie and Mr.. Gelder will leave
for Grand Junction this week to ar
range to pay the obligations of the
company, direct and indirect. Gelder
u Co. have purchased three-fourths of
the stock Of the old company for $175,-
600.
Four hundred families will be
brought from Germany to plant sugar
beets and orchards, as the farmer who
found that he cannot devote the neces-
sary time and attention to the growth
of his beet crop. The plant has ca
pacity Of $50 tons daily. 1t was erect
ed ut cost of $5J0,O00.
Mr.. Gelder has n theory that the en-
trance Of the American Sugar Refining
Company into the Colorado field Is TO
control the beet sugar industry and to
drive the Oxnards from the field as In
dependent producers.
with the cost of refining and freight
the syndicate must pay for Its product
$4.61 hundredweight," said Mr.. Geld
er, I'VE can raise ana manufacture su-
gar at cost of $3.50 hundredweight.
Havemeyer cannot kill of the inde-
pendent manufacturer by getting hold
of u few factories; he would have to
get them all. l believe, although
have not talked with any Of the syn.
dicate's representatives, that Have
meyer Is preparing to organize another
syndicate and will begin manufacture
Ing beet sugar, and unless he starts N
to demoralIxe the market by understHi-
Ing. he viii make money at It. Oxnard
will be his biggest competitor, and at
Oxnard he will aim his first blow. But,
~ I said. this II purely guesswork on
my part"

District Wins In q Suit BrOuRht fol

In the case OF Anne e. W. Frazer against
the District OF Columbia, which has been
on trial for several days before Chief JUS
tice Bingham in Circuit Court No. 1, the
jury today, by direction of the court. re-
turned a-verdict in favor Of the defendant.
The plaintiff brought suit against the
District to recover 5000 damages for
injuries received January 81 1897, by
falling upon the sidewalk of 9Th street
between H and I streets. which at
the time OF the accident was covered
with ice and snow. AS a result Of the fall
the evidence showed the plaintiffs left
wrist and arm were fractured and she is
unable to use them she formerly did.
At the close Of the testimony counsel
for the District asked the court to direct
the jury to return verdict in favor Of the
defendant, on the ground that the plaintiff
had failed to show that the pavement at
the time OF the accident was in a danger
Gus and defective condition; that as matter
Of law the District cannot be held liable
for injuries received by persons in conse-
quence OF the mere slippery condition of
its sidewalks. and that the presence OF ice
or snow upon the sidewalk does not OF
itself render them dangerous.
This contention was sustained by Chief
Justice Bingham, who directed the Jury to
return a verdict as stated
Attorneys A. B. Duvau and E. H Thomas
conducted the case In behalf Of the Dis
trtct, and Attorneys A. Y. Bradley and H.
P. Galley represented Mrs. Frazer.
