TOLD TO CHEER UP. Brltlth Wi > r omen T.ylnc to See bid * . LONDON , Ot. 12. The secretary o war , Mr. Urt/dericK , replying to Sh Charles Uonutd Vincent's offer t ( raise fresh troops or do anything els < to assist the government , declines tin proposal , and , in doing so , lengthilj reviews the British position In Ss'Ul : Africa , obviously In answer t3 the per filstentaml searching criticisms of tlu ministerial Journals and members o ! parliament , that the government if languidly content to lot the war drag on. Mr. Brodcrlok says to begin will : that nothing Lord Kitchener ha ; sked for has not been promptly met , lie adds : "We have , roughly , 200,000 men and 450 guns In Souea Africa and over one hundred thousand men are undei training at homo. We have no diffi culty , therefore In keeping the field firmly up to the requisite strength bj drafts , and if a further call be made , we are In a position to meet It with the utmost promptness. Notwith standing this , there seems to be an Impression abroad that the close ol the war Is retarded by a scarcity oi troops , or the want of'inobllity of oui columns. " This impression Mr. Broderlck com bats by reciting what the war ottlce it doing , providing It applies for 314,000 persons , directly or Indirectly connect ed with the \var , feeding 248tKK > horses and mules awl maintaining four months' reserves of food for men and animals. Sixty-nine mobile columns , perfectly equipped , are now in the field and 10,000 remounts are being landed monthly , besides those cap tured. , CONKIUltNCB IN KITCHKNKH. Mr.-Broderiok says the anxiety can be sot at rest at homo. The govern ment has never Interfered with "Lord Kitchener , in whose vigorous prosecu tion of the war they hare entire confi dence. He points again to the vast extent of the country. , Alluding to Lord Kitchener's send ing back poorly trained yeomanry , Mr Tlroderick replies that they would have been trained earlier but for the opin ion of military advisors in South Af rica and at home , up to 'November ' , 3900 , that no fresh troops were needed. "When Lord Kitchener asked for 9- 000 more , " says the war secretary , ' 'the government sent out to him 61- 000 fresh troops during the first six months of 1901 , besides arms for 20,000 local levies. " The chancellor of the exchequer , SirMlchocl Hicks-Beach , speaking at Oldham today , said he believed par liament would be1 summoned earlier than usual , but would not be called to attend an autunm session , contending that only guerillas were now In the field" . He said that the British gov ernment of the Orange River colony had raised nearly as much levenue as was raised before the war. Klili Snvvd. LINCOLN , Oct. 12. Superintendent O'Brien ' of the state hatcheries , was expected in Lincoln yesterday with the fish car on his return from the western part of the state. He took the car to Peru to take game fish from n large pond owned by Tom Majors. The pond is to be drained and culti vated. Mr. O'Brien got 2.000 croppies and 500 bass from the pond and pro ceeded wesi. to place them In state waters at lloldrcge and Curtis. They wore placed in lakes. While attending to this work at Peru the superintendent conllscatod a d ke net and lyirned it.

For sever al months ranchmen southwest and west of here have been missing horses. Suspicion pointed toward onelloyVln- cent , who stops at a ranch thirty miles southwest. Karl Gross set out two weeks ago to hunt up tiie missing horses and found the eigiit head at North Platte in possession of a resi dent tnen. , who also had a bill of sale for the horses signed , he said , by Vin cent. They at once telegraphed Sher iff Moran and Attorney Unkefcr and Vincent WILS arrested and locked up. He was arraigned In county court Thursday , pleaded not guilty , and asked time to get counsel. Karl Gross , the owner ol the horses , belongs to the stock association , and the case will bo pubhi-d. The man who says he bougnt the horses from Vincent brought the horses up from North I'latte Tuesday and Is anxious to see the case pushed. It was hoped last spring when Gus- senmyei , the alleged Ahorse thief , skipped his bond and left thai horse rustling would be discontinued for a time , but it may require a collection and heavy sentence of one victim to establish an Impressive exam pie.

UNITE TO SAVE LIFE. Many Nntloni Arauv < ) by Danger to Mill Stone. , BULOAUIA , Oct. 9. Public interest in the fate of Miss Ellen M. Stohc , the kidnaped Ameri can missionary , Intensifies hero. There Is a widespread condemnation of the govcrnmentfor allowing such freedom to the Mncendonlan committee to en able It to engineer the outrage. Mlsa Stone resided here before she went to Salonlca and she is well known throughout the country. The patrl- otlo Bulgarians arc incensed as they recognize that Miss Stone and her col leagues of the American missions In Bulgaria and Macedonia have been their best friends throughout the troubles. There Is no lack of Indica tions that Prince Ferdinand Is im periling his own position by permit/- tinp such license to the committee to enable it to blackmail prominent people - , ple In support of the Macedonian cause. Consul General ( Dickinson , when here on his way to Sofia from Constan tinople , said. that it Js probable if the brigands understood from headquar ters that the ransom would not bo paid they would release Miss Stone ; as theMaccdonlan cause would not be helped by the murder of a woman. TU11K8 TOHTUUK IIULGAUIANS. PAUIB , Oct. 8.-rA letter received by the Ahavas agency from Salonlca , dated October 4 , says : "The American consul hero has just received orders to make the ar rangements with the vail ( governor ) for the l payment of the ransom of Miss Stone. The United States will advance the money , afterward settling with Turkey. "Turkish authorities have made numerous arrests among the Bulgarian population without distinction of re ligion,1 and nearly all have been put to torture in the hope of abstracting in formation. A prisoner named Dimitrl said an understanding existed between the Protestants and * the Macedonian committee and that Miss Stone was even acting in concert with them with the view of obtaining funds for a po litical religious propaganda. These declarations , wrung from Dimitrl un der torture arc valuelcbs. What is certain , is that the captain of the band designated for the payment of the ransom a place In proximity to the Roumanian frontier , which proves that he hopes to escape the Turkish police and that the Bulgarian police do not cause him anxiety. The condition of affairs Is shown by the fact that live or six bands of bri gands of twelve or fifteen men each have become so bold between Strumit- 2a and Ku'prlli that the officials of the Oriental railroad have requested the Turkish military authorities to rein force the tiwops guarding the track and bridges.

Mr. Has- toll , the American missionary at SamokofT , Bulgaria , is opening nego tiations with the brigands with the view of reducing the amount by the ransom demanded for the release of Miss Stone. LONDON , Oct. 8 The Daily Mall has received the following dispatch from Its Vienna correspondent : "In reply to a telegram I addressed to him today , General Zontschow , resident of the Macedonian commit * tee , denies that the committee had my hand in the abduction of Miss Stone. lie adds that the committee desires the support of the civilized world for the Macedonian cause and therefore would not commit such a folly. The Turks did the deed and Turkey must be made responsible. "M.

Lieutenant Commander Hodgson yesterday again occupied the greater part of the time of the Schlcy court of inquiry as a wit ness. He was followed on the stand by Captain W. G. Folger , formerly chief of the bureau of ordinancoof the navy department , but commander of the New Orleans during thu Spanish war. Lieutenant Dyson also was re called to add some details to his for mer testimony concerning the coal supply of the American licet during the Santiago blockade. Commander Hodgson repeated and extended his story of the battle of July 3. giving the opinion that Com modore Sshloy's conduct on that occa sion was such as that of acommander- in chief should have been , Ho also ex plained at some length his correspond ence with Admiral Schlcy cqnccjrnlng the alleged colloquy between them while the Santiago engagement was In progress. He said he had had no con troversy with the commodore , but ho repeated that the commodore had said 'Damn the Texas" when told that the vessel was In danger. DKSOKlHESj NAVAL IIATTLK. The witness In response to a request from Mr. Ilayner continued his des cription of the naval battle of July 3 , from the point where he had dropped that description at Captain Lemly'a request , while he was on the stand Friday. In this connection he said : "Brooklyn did all It could. It got into action just as quick as steam could carry it there. We commenced firing as soon as the first gun on the port low would bear and we kept the port battery tiring until it turned witU port helm through the arc , uslng the aft guns until we got all tin starboard guns to bear. We got around aa quickly as we could with port helm , until we almost paralleled the courst or the leading Spanish vessel , when the helm was used and the shipsteercd a course parallel with Vlscaya , whlct was then the leading vessel , although Maria Teresa probably was farther tc the westward than Vlscaya. " , CX > IAN I'tJLLS DOWN I1KII FLAG. "I remember seeing one of the thir teen inch shells on the Oregon fa ! well ahead of the Colon and one of out eight inch shells apparently fell it shore of the Colon. At that time tin Colon ported helm hard aport. Previ ously to this she had ported her helm once or twice , apparently seeking a soft spot on shore. She fired her le < gun and hauled down her flag. J pulled out my watch. It was exactlj 1:15. : We then ceased firing and slowed down , and orders were given tc get out a boat. The captain was ordered to go on board to make terms with or tell the terms of the com manding ofllcer of the Colon. " "How far was the Oregon from the Brooklyn ? " "From 1,000 U > 1,500 yards on the starboard quarter. " The witness , In replying to ques tions , continued ills report of the bat tic. lie.salo that at the beginning ol the fight he had given the range at 1,400 yards , but that after the loop it was about 2,400 or 2,500 > yards. Mr. Rayrier : "What was the bearIng - Ing of Commodore Schlcy during thla engagement or any engagement in which you saw him ? " "His hearing and manner , with re spect to an ofllcer of his rank and sta tion In the naval service , were natural ly those of a commander-ih-chief of a naval force on that occasion. " The wit ness said that the commo dore had occupied a place on a plat form around the conning tower during the engagement.- This , he said , was a position of danger , as the commodore was there always in full view of the sncmy's ship- . . "It has been stated here , " said Mr. Ilayner , "that the Brooklyn ran 2,000 yards away from the enemy's ships in making hoi loop. " .

Information that a plot wns brewing .iinoug the Filipinos came to Major Foote from a priest , who said that It was the plans of the populace at both Italanglgla and Basey to attack the garrisons , and that Urn Basey garrison risen was to be attacked from a cock pit In the rear of the barracks. Orders - dors were immediately given tode- uiollsh the cock pit , and extra guards wore stationed. There Is an Intense feeling through out the army because of the massacre which would not bo the case to any such extent had it been the work of ordinary Insurgents. The latter might have been expected to commit such an outrage. Keeling Is particularly In tense In military circles because the authors of the massacre wore paoificos , most of whom had taken the oath of allegiance and many of whom , Includ ing the presldcnte of Balanglga , were actually holding ofllcc. Somo'of the after effects are already shown at many polut , particularly at Haulan and Caloocan , In the provinces of Balangas and Manila , where disaf fection Is manifesting Itself , although It Is not likely to bo allowed to go far. On Use other hand the ofllcers and troops at all the garrisons throughout the archipelago feel that the disaster convoys a lesson to themselves of the necessity of Increased vigilance.

The supiomu court re cently Issued , a writ of iiabeas corpus directing the production of the pris oner , but the military authorities refused - fused to piodnee him on the ground that the only tribunal having Jurisdic tion of a military prisoner Is the fed eral court. While the 1'hllliplnc courts were es tablished by the war powers of the president , the military authorities contend that they are to be regarded as provost courts until congress hu acted. The members of the supreme court and a majority of the members of th Phllllplne commission hold opposite views , but it Is understood that th attorney general believes the military contention to be correct. General Chaffcc , discussing the mat ter today , said : " 1 am most desirous to sustain the oivil court in every possible way , bul 1 feel that it would be very unwise in thoexlstingclrcumstances to allow the olvll courts to Interfere in military affairs , as it Is occasionally necessary for the military authorities to act in cases where it would be unwise , in the interest of the government , to make public at the time the reasons for actIng - Ing Should the claim now made by the civil courts bo allowed , It would be disastrous to the influence of the army in the Island.

The ao- Mon of greatest Importance taken by the triennial Episcopal convention was the adoption by the house of bishops , by a vote of thirty-seven to twentyonc , of canon 36 , which relate * to the solcmnl/.al ion of marriage. All of Its provisions had previously been argued except those contained in sec tion 4 , which forbade the marriage of persons divorced for any cause not ex isting before marriage. "For any cause not existing bcforo marriage" is understood to refer to Hiich cases as insanity , inability to ex- coutc a contract , the existence of a wife or husband or like reasons whloh practically render the marriage null and void. Tills section has been a bone of contention , a strong element in the church holding that the remar riage of the innocent party to a di vorce granted on the ground of Inll- dellty should not l > c forbidden.
