BOSTON, Oct. 6. JubI how much money
has been given to the fund to ransom Miss
Ellen M. Stone, the American board mis
sionary, held captlvo by brigands, Is not
known tonight. Thoso directing tho effort
in her behalf hope that Ilia response
throughout tho country will bo very lib
eral nnd that tho flgtiro Is fully $100,000, If
not the necessary amount, which Is $10,000
more. In lloslon nnd vicinity the amount
already In hand from n comparatively
small numbor of sources, reaches nearly
$30,000, nnd thcro nro many churches to
hear from. Tomorrow morning's mall Is
expected to bring In many thousands of
dollars additional, making It possible for
Boston alone to raiso over one-third of
tho total nmoiint., Tho belief Is general
horo that tho country dt largo will enro
for two-thirds of the ransom money, so
that It will bo ready by Tuesday noon.
The family of Miss Stono hud no nows
today nnd tho American board could glvo
out nothing to throw llgtit on tho mis
sionary's predicament.

IJOSTON, Oct. 6. The urgency of tho
caso of Miss Stone, the missionary held for
ransom by brigands In Ilulgarln, brought
together the members of the prudential
rommlttto of tho American board for two
hours today. Later tho commltteo Issued
n statement based on tho vlewn of Prcsl
dent Samuel II. Capon of tho board and
tho secretary, Rov. Dr. Judson Smith, as
the result of their visit to Washington
yestcrdny.
Both gentlemen had Interviews with
President Iloosevelt nnd the oirtclnls of tho
State department, it wns mado plain to
them, they told the prudential committee,
that tho only certain way to secure the
release of Miss Stono nnd save her life
would bo tho payment of the ransom.
Tho commltteo was Informed that tho
government, by reason of. constitutional
restrictions. Is unnhlo to' pay tho rnnsom.
Tho commltteo was nlso mndo nwnro of
tho fact that the American board has no
money with which to save Miss Stono. Tho
only prnctlcal way, therefore, wns shown
to bo a popular subscription, which already
has 'been stnrtcd. Tho commltteo heartily
npproved this and begnn sending telegrams
to many parts of tho country urging sub
scriptions. Tho commltteo says that In view of tho
spirit with which tho nppenl Is reached,
thero Is strong ground for tho hopo that
tho nmount will bo obtained spocdlly. In
every pnsslblo way tho American board will
co-oporntc both by gift nnd by solicitation.
President Cnpen says tho government at
Washington, both tho president and tho
State department, havo done, nro going

strongly, assuring his hearers that if the

bo returned to tho donors as "tho chnnccs

At tho Shawmut Congregational church
Ilev. McWecn said that whllo he did not
wish to dlscourago tho present effort for
Mies Stono's releaso, yet tho whole thing
nppeared to him to establish n bad prece

the brigands wcro playing n gamo of bluff
nnd had no Idea of assassinating their

WASHINGTON, Oct. (!.-(Speclal,)-Slnce
tho Issuanco of revenue stamps wa3 au
thorized three years ago last July the wash

kept tho commlisloner of Internal revenue
and his assistants In hot water.
Soon after tho law went Into effect It
c&mo to the knowledge of revenue omcers
that high denomination stamps wcro being
offered at a largo discount from face
value nnd Investigation revealed that
stamps wcro being washed, tho cancellation
removed, re-gummed and sold to real estate
men and brokers. The bureau of engrav
ing and printing officials wero conferred
with nnd a plan devised that It wns
thought would prevent future cleaning. The
colors of tho stamps wcro changed and tho
Ink used wns supposed to be soluble In ncld.
such as had been used In removing the can
cellation, This did not scorn to provo effec
tive, however, nnd stamps washed and re
gummed, yet so cleverly ns to escnpo de
tection, wero found ou the market.
Then tho commissioner and the tnkmakers
nt tho bureau got together and produced
tho stamp which has been In tine tho last
year. This Is printed In light gray color,
tho Ink being known ns "fugltlvo" and
susceptible to ncld, tho value of the stamp
being overprinted In tho form of a largo
skeleton figure. Tho experimenters nt tho
treasury wcro unnblo to tamper with a
canceled stamp of this variety without de
stroying the faco of tho stamp nnd It wns
confidently believed tho manipulators of
acids had been defeated. For a tlmo no
complaints were heard, then It was found
that these stamps were being washed nnd
rcgummed nnd sold nt u discount.
Another conference of tho commissioner's
ntds and tho lnkmnkcrs wns held nnd n
new nnd unique- HChcmo devised which tho
lnkmnkcrs nssort will forever circumvent
tho craftiest of the washers. Tho plan is
as follows:
No change will bo mado In the design
of tho stamps from $1 to $100. The back
ground of tho stamp will bo printed In
light green Instead of light grny, n fugitive
Ink being employed. This Ink Is of tho
sntno general texture ns that now used,
being soluble In ncld. Upon this design
In another color will be printed the de
nomination, In the form of n large figure.
Over these two printings will be placed
a coat of sluing or varnish, transparent
nnd glossy. This will probably bo put on
by n printing press. Tho composition is n
secret, but It Is known that It In susccptlblo
to wator, acid or any other HVjuld. It Is
to anything wet what tho sensltlvo photo
graphic plate Is to light. After the stamp
has been cnncclcd any attempt to tamper
with It will ruin tho faco of tho stamp.
During tho last three years tho govern
ment has lost hundreds of thousands of
dollars through fraudulent re-uso of rev
enue stamps. Tho denominations most
largely cleaned were tho $5 and $10.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 23. (Corre
spondence of tho Associated Press.) Tho
universities havo resumed work quietly.
Thero aro no present Indications of fer
mentation, though the more stringent en
forcement of the exceptional restriction ot
the attendance of Jewish youths In the
Intermediate schools, tho universities nnd
tho other higher educational Institutions
Is cnuslng much heart burning. There arc
two universities within the "Jewish place,"
as tho district wherein Jews ni!y live
without special permission Is cnllcd. At
these Institutions nt Wnrsaw and Odessa
Jewish students were fortnorly nllowed up
to 10 per cent of th) total attendance, This
has been reduced, temporarily nt least, to
7 per cent. Outside tho palo the Jewish
attendanco was formerly limited to 5 per
cent. It Is now not exceeding 3 per cent.
At tho three capital universities nt St,
Petersburg nnd Moscow the Jewish nt
tendanco wns still further limited to 3
per cent. It is not exceeding 3 per cent.
At such institutions as tho technical col
leges no rule seems to be followed. At
thu Technological Institute nt St. Peters
burg no Jewish students wcro received
this year.
It Is said that General Vannoffsky, min
ister of education, recently received n
Jewish deputation which enmo to beg for
less unequal treatment. He replied, In
substance, that he wns appointed by thn
emperor to look nftcr tho education of
Chrltlnn youths, not of Jews.
IMnIiuiiiI Mihimmv Society.
Tho minister of tho Interior, who through
the St. Petersburg prefect of police closed

of tho Moscow Society for Mutual Assist
ance, whose members were practitioners
of liberal professions. This Hoclcty tins
nppealcd to the Imperial senate.
Comparative statistics of Russian foreign
trade during the first six months of the
last three years hnvo appeared. Tho total
movement wns 581,000,000 roubles, comporod
to 565,000,000 In 1900 nnd 589,000,000 In 1899.
Tho export was 8,000,000 roubles, or 51.5
per cent; tho Import 205,000,000 roubles, or
15.5 per cent. Tho export hns grown to nil
countries except to tho United States,
Belgium nnd Sweden. Tho export to thu
United States amounted to 1.613.000 rouble
In 1901, 2,103,100 In 1900 nnd 1,397.000 In
1S99.
Amerlcnn Import I'll 1 1 Off.
Imports from tho United States were
20,739.700 roubles In 1901, 26,257,000 In 1990
and 24,857,000 In 1899.
The falling off In American exports to
Russia Is therefore In percentages almost
precisely tho same as tho falling off In
Russian exports to America.
Rmsla Is continuing Its efforts to In

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6. Rt. Rev. Al

rived hero to attend the Episcopal con
vention. He comes In response to an In
vitation from the church nuthorltles for
the purposo of discussing the change in
Jurisdiction which the annexation of "the
Hawaiian Islands to tho United Stntcc
makes necessary.
"It Is Imposslblo for me to dUcuss In
ndvnnce," ho said, "the question of Juris
diction that hns been raised by the an
nexation of Hawaii to the United Statoc
Unfortunately there Is no precedent for
us to follow. It Is n difficult, complex
question, which can only be settled by tho
most enreful consideration.
"Tho Hawaiian diocese Is not, ns gen
erally supposed, subject to English Juris
diction. Like tho church In America nt
tho closo of the revolution, n now Jurisdic
tion wns established, entirely separate from
tho EnglUh, except the connection which
comes from the fact that I have as my
metropolitan tho nrchblshop of Canterbury,
When my predecessor went to tho Islands
tho church had no constitution. That and
other laws have been made with tho growth
of tho church.
"Wo havo not n Inrgo church, I think
wo number 2,000. But that Is not sur
prising when you consider thnt more than
half tho population Is heathen."
Bishop Willis went to tho Hawaiian
Islands thirty years ago under appoint

ordained in 1S72 nnd Immediately nfter
ward left for his new field of work. His
thirty year's service has been marked by

Out l.nteiit Feeling of llevpeel
for Auierli'iiu.
YOKOHAMA, Sept. 21 -(Correspondence
of tho Associated Press.) The tidings of
tho death of President McKlnley came as a
great shock to the foreign community, ns
well as to the entire nation, nnd the day
of tho funeral was one of general mourn
ing, business being almost entirely sus
pended. Tho event has called forth what
ever still remained of the latent feeling
of friendliness for the United States, the
nntlvo papers vicing with each other In
expressions of grief and sympathy.
A subject Upon which nil the leading
Journals r.re now falling In line Is tho
movement In favor of foreign land owner
ship. It begins to bo clearly seen that
the privilege Is nn essential prereojslto to
tho greatly desired Introduction of foreign
capital and the pressure being brought to
bear to bring about the change will doubt,
loss result In favorable legislation at the
coming session of the Diet. Japan will
then nj last be. fully' thrown open to tho
world and the final remnant of tho Influence
of the old regime will hnvo disappeared.
A reassuring sign of the breadth of pub
lic sentiment In favor of comiuerelnl hon
esty Is tho attitude of almost the entlte
native- press In denouncing the nttempl of
one of the national bnnks to evndo Its
liabilities by pleading thnt Its manager,
though regularly appointed by the board of
directors, had not been properly regis
tered. A very serious dlMurbanco took place
Thursday last at Yokohama, the seat of
ono of the Japanese yardh. the troops being
called out to suppress n riot. Three hun
dred blue Jackets from various ships at
tacked n houso In (ho Yoshlwnrm district,
whero ono of their number wns nlleged
to have suffered somo grievance. Tho
pollco being summoned, tho sailors drew
knives nnd pistols. Tho nrrlvnl of the
troops, however, ciuclled thn disturbance,
but not until severe Injuries were Inflicted
upon half n dozen of tho combatants.
The arrival of Mr. Komura. the Japanese
minister to China, who Is to become minis
