DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED.
Obstacles Met in Negotiating for Miss
Stones Release

The difficulties under which the American
diplomatic representatives labored in ac-
complishinG the rescue of Miss Stone from
the brigands are more fully shown In the
correspondence relating to her case just
made public. For instance, Mr. Eddy,
while acting as charge at Constantinople,
in one of his communica tions to Secretary
Hay relative to the efforts that were being
made to secure her release, said among
other things:
I'VE are not dealing with ordinary brig
andage. The whole matter is mixed up
with Macedonia and Bulgaria politics. the
two causes of Miss Stones capture being a
desire to obtain money from the missiona-
ries for the called sacred cause and to
impress the world with the belief that
Turkey has no real power in Macedonia"
In another communication Mr.. Eddy said
the Dutch minister had told him that it
was case of fear on all sides. The Bull
garian government is afraid of the present
committee" he said. the old committee is
afraid of the leaders of the thirty-two
brigands who abducted Miss Stone; the
leaders are afraid of the men themselves
and the men in turn are afraid that they
will not get the money for the work they
have done

Robert P. Armstrong, acting secretary

wasting too much ink. He began by sign
When he quit work in the afternoon he
was writing it 'R. P. Armstrong" without
a cross to the st" or a tail to the "g'' of
his surname.
The law does not permit of the signing
of a cabinet officers name with a rubber
stamp, and after Mr.. Armstrong had writ
ten several hundred signatures his fingers
pen he could. AT last he had to give up
his fingers becoming SO cramped and tired
he could not go on.
The law in regard to the signature of
cabinet officers has caused many of them to
abbreviate their manner of writing their
names. Elihu Roots name is now signed
f. Root, and Charles Emory Smith brought
his signature down to c. E. Smith. Even
the Secretary of State signs his name u
