Constantinople Beports that Washington Asks Turks to Desist. fEARS fOR LlfE Of MISS STONE Bees More Danger In Close Pursuit Thaji in Waiting Quietly The JRunsom to B i Paid Over at Onco Arrangements for the Transfer. sez ' CONSTANTINOPLE , Oct. 12 In compliance with a .request from Wash- igton , the search by Ottoman troops ' for the abductors of Miss Stone , the American missionary , has been aban doned , it being feared that the brig ands would kill her , should they be closely pursued. Arrangements are now being made to pay the ransom demanded. BOSTON , Oct. 12. The misunder standing existing in various parts of the country , indicated especially in private advices received here as to / the progress of the fund to ransome Miss 'Stone , the missionary , is con sidered to be sufficient reason for the issuance of another appeal for funds by the clergymen who signed the first one. The idea is to impress upon the people of America the dan- * ger which still threatens Miss Stone. The second appeal follows : "BOSTON , Oct. 11. To the People of America : The promptings of our hearts compel TIS to issue a second ur gent appeal to the people of America to come to the rescue of Miss Ellen M. Stone , the American missionary now held captive by brigands in the Balkan mountains for a ransom of $110,000. Nearly one-half that sum is yet to be raised. Private advices were yesterday to the effect that it was absolutely necessary to raise tne full amount'at Once. The story of a thirty days' respite is absplutely discredited in the best informed localities. "The public should not be deceived by the idea that the American board , as such , will pay any of the ransom. It has officially declared that it could not , although its members have unan imously expresssed sympathy with the movement. Will not pastors , tender hearted women , patriotic men and representatives of commercial and fi nancial activity everywhere , will not every one aid by giving and soliciting until the entire fund is in hand A . life Is at stake , the life of a Chris tian , a missionary , a patriot and a no ble American. "All contributions should be sent di rect to Kidder , Peabody & Co. , 115 Devonshire street , Boston , or Baring , Magoun & Co. , 15 Wall street , New lYork. All money contributed will be returned to the donors in case its use is not necesssary or in the event of Its being hereafter returned by or through the United States govern ment. "JOHN L. WITHROW , j'Park Street Congregational Church. "GEORGE C. LORIMER , "Tremont Temple Baptist Church. "JOHN GALBRAITH , "Bromfield Street Methodist Church. " LONDON , Oct. 12. After detailing the history of the abduction of Miss Stone the Spectator remarks : "President Roosevelt and the Wash- t ington cabinet maintain justly that the sultan is responsible , as it is his misgovernment which provokes and protects brigandage , and they intend to demand reparation from the porte. It will not be limited , we imagine , to 25,000. The porte will be required to punish the authors of the outrage , and as Turkey is sure to shuffle and America is tired of being played with , a naval demonstration is quite on the cards. The sultan will of course yield to the first show of force. " Commandant Letter to Die. MIDDLEBURG , Cape Colony , Oct. 12. Sentence of death has been pass ed on Commandant Lotter , the Cape rebel whose command , composed al most wholly of rebels , was captured foy Major Scobel , south of Petersburg early last month.

HEALTH OF SOLDIERS IS GOOD. General Wood Makes Favorable Report of Condition * In Cuba. WASHINGTON , Oct. 11. The de partment has made public the anual report of Major General Leonard Wood says the general conduct of the American troops in Cuba continues to be excellent , and , as heretofore com plaints against them from civil au thorities and individuals are extreme ly rare. . The total number of deaths of officers and enlisted men during the year was 67 , a percentage of less than 1.26. Yellow fever has now been al most driven from the island owing to the energetic war on the mosquitoes and the sanitary precautions adopted. However , during last summer five offi cers of General Wood's staff were taken ill with yellow fever and three of them died. Among the headquar ters employes there were forty-eight victims of yellow fever , with eleven deaths. General Wood devotes a good part of his report to a stateemnt of the results of the tests of the artillery in fortifications left by the Spanish and summarizing these h'e says : "The be havior of the guns and carriages was rather better than was expected by the artillery officers. NATIONAL PURITY CONGRESS Social Reformers Discuss Evito and Methods of Eradicating Them. CHICAGO , Oct. 11. Methods for abating social evils and placing the human race on a higher level of purity were discussed in hopeful tones by speakers at the session of the National Purity convention. ' Charles L. Plymate of Crawfords- ville , Ind. , spoke of "Neglected Fac tors in the Problem of Life" ; Rev. Jesse Jones of Halifax , Mass. , read a paper pointing out cupes for the social evils ; Mrs. Minetta Tinny of Kirwin , Kan. , discussed "The Purity Problem , " and Hatty A. Schwendener , M. D. , of St. Joseph , Mich. , laid great stress on "An Ounce of Prevention , " in ( rearing a nearly pure race. Mme. E. Eckler read an interesting paper under the caption , "Abolitionist and Rescue Work in Holland and Java , " with both of which problems she is familiar. Charles A. Mitchell , of'Mariohville , Mo. , urged earnestly for parental watchfulness over boys in the periods when their characters are forming. BOTHA SLIPS THROUGH NET Boer General Evades the Cordon , Cross- in ? Plvaan River. LONDON , Oct. 11. The wholly un ? satisfactory situation in South Africa continues to call out the most severe criticism. Lord Kitchener wires that General Botha has crossed the Pivaau river twenty miles north of Vryheid , which means that he has again es caped the British cordon. General Buller , in a speech this * afternoon , complained of the general criticism , especially in the newspapers , of himself. He admitted he had ad vised General Sir George White that it would possibly be necessary to sur render Ladysmith , but , bearing in mind all the circumstances of the case , he was quite prepared to let the pub lic judge of the justifiability of the newspaper attack.

" Most testi fied that the article had been publish ed years ago and that he had copied it in his .paper March 14 , 1885.

KITCHENER GIVEN ALL HE ASKS A Statement of the Number of Men in the Field and Other * Available Asks England to Cease Its Fretting Con * cernlng the Situation. - LONDON , Oct 11. The secretary of war , Mr. Broderlck , replying to Sir Charles Howard Vincent's offer to raise fresh troops or do anything else to assist the government , declines the proposal and in doing so lengthily re views the British , position in South Africa , obviously in answer to the persistent and searching criticisms of the ministerial journals and members of parliament that the government is languidly content to let the war drag on. Mr. Broderick says , to begin with , that nothing Lord Kitchener has ask ed for has not been promptly met. He adds : . "We have , roughly , 200,000 men and 450 guns in. South Africa , 'and over 100,000 men are under training at home. We have no difficulty , there fore , in keeping the field fairly up to its requisite strength by drafts , and if a further call be made we are in a position to meet it with the utmost promptitude. Notwithstanding this , there seems to be an impression abroad that the close of the war is retarded by a scarcity of troops or the want of mobility of our columns. " This impression Mr. Broderick com bats by reciting what the war office is doing , providing supplies for 314- 000 persons , directly or indirectly con nected with the war , in feeding 24- 000 norses and mules and maintaining four months' reserves of food for men and animals. Sixty-nine mobile col umns , perfectly equipped , are now in the field and 10,000 remounts are being landed monthly , besides those cap tured. . Mr. Broderick says the anxiety can be set to rest at home. The govern ment has never interfered with Lord Kitchener , in whose vigorous prosecu tion of the war it has 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. Broderick replies that they would have been trained earlier but for the opinion of military advisers in South Africa and at home , up to i < Iovember , 1900 , 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 the exchequer , Sir Michael Hicks-Beach , speaking at Oldham , said he believed parliament would be summoned earlier than usual , but would nojt be called to at tend the autumn session , contending that organized resistance in South Africa really ended a year ago and that only guerrillas are now in the field. He said the British govern ment of the Orange River Colony had raised nearly as much revenue as was raised before the war. HEILBRON , Orange River" Colony , Oct. 7. Thirteen of Kitchener's scouts have been captured in a Boer ambush. Must Have-Regular Diploma. DENVER , Oct. 11.

Give Venezuela a Scare. WASHINGTON , Oct. 11. On the 30th of September the navy depart ment issued an itinerary tor the battle ship Indiana. It was to take a num ber of landsmen aboard on'a training cruise through .the West Indies. The publication was misinterpreted , as in dicating a demonstration on the coast of Venezuela. Indiana was to approach no nearer that country than Port of Spain , but no movements will be re ported. V THE LIVE STOCK MARKET. Latest Quotations From Sooth Omaha and Kansas City. SOUTH OMAHA. Cattl There was not a very heavy run of cattle and as the demand was fairly g-ood the market was active and fully steady on most lines of desirable cattle. Receipts included about twen y-five cars * of corn-fed steers , and while the market was not what would be called brisk , still not far from steady prices were paid. Owing to the fact that there were quite a few offered buyers took their time , and in some instances sellers thought they had to take a little less than the same kind have been selling for of late. There were only about thirty cars of cows and heifers on sale and packers took hold and bought up the desirable kinds at strong prices. Sales were made that looked fully a dime higher. There was a fair trade In stockers and feeders , and there was not much change noticeable in the prices paid. Anything at all desirable was picked up in good season , and even the common kinds sold without much difficulty for as much as the same kind sold for yester day. There were not very many western range steers in the yards today good enough for killers and those that were offered sold at steady prices. Cows sold strong where the quality was good. Hogs There was not an excessive sup ply of hogs in sight , and as the demand was fairly liberal the downward course in , the price of hogs was checked. Packers at this point started out and tried to buy their hogs steady with yesterda" but sell ers were holding for better prices , so it was a little late before the market open ed. "When trading did finally begin it was generally at an advance of nearly 2V c. The bulk of the hogs sold at $6.12& and $6.15 , and as high as $6.30 was paid. Sheep There were only a few cars of feeders in the yards and practically noth ing was offered to make a test of the market for mutton grades. As was noted yesterday , however , fat sheep and lambs are just about 20c higher than they were at the close of last week. Feeder buyers took hold in good shape today and bought up what was offered at fully steady prices. Everything was disposed of at an early hour. KANSAS CITY.

A special tc the Capital from Clifton , Kan. , says : At 6:30 o'clock last night in a clear spell that followed a heavy storm o/ / rain and hail a large tornado cloud could be seen to the southwest and ap proaching the town. The fire bell was rung and the people were pantt stricken. The storm , however , swepi about two miles to the west , traveling in a northeasterly direction.

' ii Hawkes Bow Says Judge Received Stock for Use of Name. HEARING LAST UNTIL NOVEMBER 21 Adjournment Taken In Heiotand Inves tigation to Await Jackson and Harri son Major Questions Truth of Teatl- Bomv Dissected During the Day. WASHINGTON , Oct 10. When the senate committee here resumed its hearing of the charges against Lieut. Heistand , Major Hawkes , tne prosecut ing witness , was called to submit some evidence In rebuttal which he desired to present. Mr. Hawkes said that upon his return from the Philippines he called upon the secretary of war and demanded to know the cause of his removal. Judge Mackay , Hawkes' attorney , en tered on a line of questioning intend ed to draw the , secretary of war into the controversy , when stopped by Senator Cockrell , who announced that no such questions would be permitted , as the secretary was not under investi gation. W. S. Coursey , who was formerly secretary to General Corbin , testified that when the reply to Colonel Heis- tand's dispatch to General Otis was received he could not connect it with any message that had been sent. Finally he went to the miscellaneous division , which was in charge of Col onel Heistand , and the latter informed him It was the reply to a private message he had sent. Major Hawkes , in correcting his testimony , had added a statement that Judge Boyd was not to subscribe for hemp stock , but was to receive it for the use of his name. Tins called out several questions as to the division of stock and Hawkes said it was un derstood that the names of the other parties were not to appear on the stock books. To avoid this it was agreed between himself and Heistand that $150,000 of stock was to be carried in Hawkes' name. Senator Cockrell asked why he had not testified to this before , as it was a very important matter. Mr. Hawkes said he had never said anything to any of the parties about the matter. Under close questioning , Maj. Hawkes admitted he had said to Judge Boyd that he was not to pay for the stock , "or words to that effect. " He was asked what reply Judge Boyd made and said he answered that it was all right , "or words to that effect. " Replying to questions by Senator Cockrell , Hawkes said he had been on very friendly terms with Judge Boyd and would have spared him if possible. He added that he was much disap pointed in the evidence given by the several witnesses before the commit tee. Senator Cockrell asked him how he could be disappointed when he was informed by all of them that they had no connection with the hemp company. Hawkes replied that he expected they would testify differently. "Don't you think they have sworn io the truth ? " inquired Senator Cock rell. ' 'I do not , " retorted Hawkes , hotly.

Another aggressive move has been made by the American Sugar Refining company In the campaign which it has begun against the beet sugar industry. The cut in the price of granulated sugar to all Missouririver points , which was announced last week , has been followed by a reduction in the price of beet and cane sugar in all states from Colorado to California. The reduc tion was announced by the Western Sugar Refining company and amounts to 30 cents a hundred on beet sugar and 12 cents a hundred on cane sugar. Robert Oxnard , vice president of the American Beet Sugar association , which is opposing the trust , said : "It is a fact that the Western Sugar Refining company has made a declino of 20 cents per hundred on their cane sugars and 30 cents per hundred on their beet sugars. This makes the difference in their price between cane , granulated and beet granulated 20 points instead of 10 points as hereto fore. The cut affects all markets , from California to Colorado , inclusive. J know of no change in the general sugar situation on account of it. Fur ther than this I do not care to discuss the matter at present. " In order to discriminate further against beet sugar , the Western Sugar Refining company , which is allied with the sugar trust , has announced that It will entertain no orders for gran ulated sugar which call for over 50 per cent of beet sugar , of which thera is a sm&ll supply in this market.
