what similar to the abduction Of Ellen
Stone, the missionary. by the Bulgar-
ian bandits, comes from Tangier, Mo-
rocco, where it is reported that an
American citizen named Perdecaris
and his stepson, a British subject,
have been carried into captivity by
bandits and are held for heavy ran
som. The American and British Min
lister at Tangier are acting with energy
in the matter, and have sent special
envoy to inform the Sultan that it is
expected all the terms demanded
by the bandits be complied with to
obtain release of the captives. The
outrage is attributed to the fact that
the British government failed last year
to punish the bandits who captured
Walter b. Harris, correspondent of

that discussions on various topics will
proceed simultaneously, and English

RUssIA's TROUBLES INCREAsISG.-
IL is said that the succession of disas-
tiers to Russian forces, by land and sea,
have caused fearful depression among
the people, which is rapidly passing to
a stage of hopeless despair. The fear
is openly expressed that the Car has
very little sympathy from the leading
nations, and that this has had its ef-
feet both in stimulation of attacks
from the enemy and in causing defeat
to faint-hearted, disconsolate de-
Tense. The hope is expressed that the
Car, realizing the danger, will grant
q new constitution that will command
respect abroad and renew the spirits
OF the army and people. They believe
that if this is done rally can be made
that will turn the tide of battle. I'm
less something is done, the govern
ment will have to face open revolt at
home rs well as war from Japan, and
this will deprive her OF the aid of the
most progressive elements in the en-
pire, such as the Poles and Firms.
