ABDUCTION
OF AMERICAN CITIZEN BY
BRlGANDS
CREATES EXCITEMENT
Hope That United States
Will Act Promptly.

Tangier, May 20.-London Times.)-
Raisuli, the brigand who has abducted
M. Perdicaris, of Trenton, N. j., I'm
tied States army, and his nephew, a
British subject, has sent word to the
sultan that he will not release them
until the sultan signifies his intention
of withdrawing his troops who are
now engaged in fighting the refractory
tribes, and permits the latter to con-
tinue their campaign of robbery.
Mr.. Charles Harris, the correspond
ent of the London Times, who was
abducted by the same band of robbers
last year, in discussing this latest out
rage said: "The attitude of the Moors
toward Europeans has grown much
more antagonistic during the past few
months. Raisuli and his band have
been perpetrating outrages of every
sort against Europeans for IS months
and continue to frequent Tangier with
out fear of molestation at the hands
of the sultan's troops. The population
here openly ridicules the idea of Eu-
ropean governments undertaking any
reprisals or obtaining the Punishment
of the offenders. The government is
utterly unable to grant adequate pro-
lection to Europeans while heretofore
the Foreign powers have contented
themselves with simply entering pro-
tests when their SUBJECTS were out
ragged and robbed of their possessions.
ut is to be hoped that this latest
outrage will arouse the United States
to a sense of the necessity of protect
ing her subjects and that this will
also benefit the subjects of other ma
tions who are forced to enter Moroc-
CO."
The abduction has caused panic in
the surrounding country and many OF
the more timid residents are flocklng
into the town for protection from the
bandits who are expected to follow up
this latest outrage with others of a
like nature.
The Moors do not hesitate to show
their satisfaction at this fresh out
rage. They seen to have lost all fear
of foreigners. The local authorities,
however, promise that they will do all
in their power to secure the release of
the two captives and are already in
negotiation with Raisuli's representa-
tive.
The two prisoners were hurried far
into the interior Immediately upon
their capture but letter received
from Mr.. Perdicaris states that he and
his companion are being well treated
Mr.. Perdicaris was well liked here
where for years he has been one of
the principal benefactors of the poor.

METHOD|STS
DISTURBED BY JUDO e
LORE'S STRUCTURES ON
THE GIGANTIC TRUSTS
Reflected on Some Prom
inent Laymen.

Los Angeles. Cal, May 19.-On the
third ballot of the Methodist General
conference for the election of bishops
today, DR.. ]. W. Bashford was in the
lead with DR.. Thomas b. Nicely, close
second DR.. Bashford received 4S0 of
the 4S9 necessary for choice The
next ballot will probably result in Drs.
Bashford and Nicely being elected. DR..
James r. Day, chancellor of Syracuse
University, New York, after receiving
297 votes withdrew from the contest
this afternoon and asked his friends
not to vote for him again.
The election of Dr. Henry Spellmeyer
and DR.. w. F. Mcdowell was announc-
ed at the convention this morning. The
conference applauded and gave the
Chautauqua salute as the newly elect
ed bishops were escorted to the plat
form.
Intense interest is being manifested
in the discussion over the periodical
movement DtlWttH lnt
Methodist Episcopal church and the
Methodist Episcopal church south. Dr.
William r. Chase, of New Orleans,
made an eloquent address in favor of
the federation clause today but the
matter went over for future discussion.
DR.. j. w. E. Bowen, a negro, is
making strong fight for election as
bishop and many of the white delegates
are supporting him.
The convention of the locomotive en-
gineers asked the NJ. e. Conference to
give it's views on the arbitration of la
Dor troubles. Judge Charles B. Lore
presented report for adoption by the
conference on this matter and was op-
posed by John Young, of New Hamp-
snire. The matter was laid over.
Judge Lore said: Some of our most
noted capitalists and financiers with
cunning craft have devised and palmed
off upon the unwary, worthless schemes
as legitimate enterprises. Plants
worth few thousand dollars have
been watered into millions by the de-
vice of first mortgage bonds and pre-
ferred and common stock, fitly termed
undigested securities, which have been
unloaded upon the people. Such
schemes amount to gigantic robbery,
the schemers taking care only that in
violations of law they escape the
common jails. 1t is becoming there
fore for the Methodist church in the
majesty Of her strength to put herself
boldly and fearlessly on the side of
the peaceful arbitration of disputes"
The speech caused a storm as a re-
Election on many Methodist laymen.
