' 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.

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. "

12. Sentence of death has been pass

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

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

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.

fied that the article had been publish

Secretary Broderick Answers Criticism of
Its Alleged Apathy.
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.

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

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.

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

The family had escaped to the cellar.
On account of the darkness the com'

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.

SUGAR TRUST MOVES AGAIN
Cats Price of the Granulated Prod net 1m
the Far Western Territory.
SAN FRANCISCO , Oct. 9. 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.
CHARGED WITH HIGH TREASON
Former Governor of Johannesburg Ar
raigned in Bow Strest Court.
LONDON jOct. 9. Dr. Krause , the
former governor of Johannesburg ,
who was arrested September 2 on the
charge of high treason , was arraigned
in the extradition court at Bow street
and charged with high treason and
incitement to murder. The former
charge is connected with the surren
der of Johannesburg when , according
to the public prosecutor , Dr. Krause
obtained from Lord Roberts twenty-
four hours' armistice on the plea that
street fighting would thereby be obvi
ated , and utilized the period in get
ting all the Boer flghers out of town
and in sending 180,000 to Pretoria.
After Dr. Krause Lad been paroled he
went to Europe and applied to Dr.
Leyds , the agent of the Transvaal , for
