Improve the 12ialpmcnt.
After tho mooting, which lasted all day
In tho offices of Tramc Manager Schu
macher of tho Oregon Short Line, It wan
given out that the doclslon had been reached
to Improve tho equipment on tho trans
continental trains and to readjust tho time
chedules.
Tho extensive Improvements In tho road
bed In Wyoming, Including the Aspen tun
Sol, have, been completed and a shortening
of time across Wyoming Is possible. It was
consequently decidad to cut down the time
across Wyoming, but to lengthen It In
crossing Nebraska, where tho snows would
mako It Impossible during tho winter to
come near maintaining tho present ached
tile.
It was announced that for the winter
months thcro would he no change In tlmo
between Chicago and San Francisco. Next
spring tho trains will probably bo run
through In sovcrnl hours less tlmo than n
present. When tho propceed Southern Pa
clflc Improvements, Including tho cut-off
tround tho south end of tho Great Salt
lake Into Salt take City are completed
probably twolvo hours will bo cut off tho
time.
Tho question of routing business over
the hlo a ramie- lines through Colorado and
Utah, Instead of over tho Union Pacific
through Wyoming, was touched upon. Tho
Denver gateway will soon bo opened by tho
other Harrlman line, ax has already been
done by tho Oregon Railroad nnd Naviga
tion company, and eastbound business from
the Kid Orando lines to bo turned back to
tho Union Pacific at Donvcr,
Somp of tho visiting officials left this

tomorrow to Inspect the new Aspen tunnel
in the Union Pacific.

Besides planning Arrangements for tho

traffic, train service Innovations and pos
sible extensions. Conference of those r
malnlng In tho city may be continued to
morrow, when Oeorge J. (Sould'nnd General
Manager Russell Harding of tho Missouri
Pacific are expected to arrive.
In explaining tho object of the meeting
Oenoral Passenger Agent Lomnx said: "In
stead of cutting clown tho time on our fast
trains the Intention Is possibly to reduce
tho running tlmo a shado for tho winter
schedule. Of courso when the cutoffs on
tho Southern Paclfln nro completed the
time will bo greatly reduced, but that eon
alderatlon Is too rcraoto for Immediate ac
tion. "We Intend to mako a schedule that the
Wo Grande Western and their connections,
which are a factor In tho transcontinental
traffic, can mako connections with."
President Hurt was silent upon tho mat
ters undtr discussion. Ho said, howevor.
that the Aspen tuunel would bo thrown
orn to regular traffic at 12 o'clock tonieht
nnd tho Hear River-Lorry cut-off would bo
used from today, thereby cutting down the
mileage of tho Wyoming division over nine

Dr. Mann did not montlou the open.'',,
omitting that altogether. Ho described Us
president's symptoms from day to day. In
speaking of the bulletins Issued, Ur. Mann
said overyono of them was absolutely true.
None had been misleading In any manner.
Ho told of tho progrets of the patient from
day to day until tho unfavorable turn, a
very sudden one, of the seventh day, and
he wuld ho mentioned that to show tha bul
letins Issued were true and not misleading.
Dr. Mann said thcro was absolutely no bac
teriological infection. Continuing, ho said:
"If you ask mc what caused the president's
death I could not toll you. I doubt If that
will over bo discovered. Amongst contrib
utory causes, howovcr, wero tho president's
age, his lack of exercise and his naturally
weak heart, which made his pulse high,"
Why A-ltny Win. .Not Cwed.
Dr. Mann was nsked by one of tho listen
ing mcdlc.il men why tho X-ray was not np
pllcd so tho missing bullet might bo lo
cated. Dr. Mann replied that there was
nothing In tho condition of tho patient to
show that tho bullet was doing any harm
und ho said that if tho X-ray had been
used It would only hovo been to sntlsfy the
curiosity of tho physicians and the excite
ment attending the operation would have
been harmful to tho patient, so tho doctors
rcfrnlned from using the X-rny apparatus.
Dr. Mann wont on to say that nt no time
whatever had there been the slightest dis
agreement among tho physicians. He said
that complete harmony marked every bit
of tlmo they wore In attendance on tho
president. Ho said ho had never known
such harmony among physicians In attend
ance on a single patient. Dr. Mann did not
suy anything of tho autopsy", but described
tho technical treatment of tho president
dally. A voto of thanks was accorded Dr.
Mann by tho society.
Dr. Herman Mynter, a colleague of Dr.
Mann In tho president's case, corroborated
all Dr. Mann said. He spoke of the fine

mNKTANTINOPLB. Oct. 15.-The Hus-
i,, , government has repeated Its ext.res
government hy ull practical means in res-
cuing Miss Stone. Tho othor powers arc
equally solicitous, but llussla is tne nc.
nblo to bring the necessary pressure to
bear.
Messrs. Ualrd and Haskell, the mission
aries, have not yet succeeded In getting
Into touch with the brigands to open ne
gotiations. LONDON. Oct. 10. "Tho United States
government will Insist that Turkey nt once
mako good nny deficit In tho runsoms of
Miss Stone," says tho Constantinople cor
respondent of tho Dally Tolegraph. "and
also refund tho full amount subscribed."
It U supposed that the brigands who cap
tured MIhs Stone have withdrawn Into the
Interior of Mocedonla In the direction of
Novrokop," says a dispatch to the Dallv
Telegraph from Sofia, "Former members of
tho Macedonian committee who were ar
rested on suspicion of complicity denied bo
foro a magistrate any knowledge of the
nlTair."
Tho Times has the following from Its
Vienna correspondent: The Sofia corre
spondent of tho Pester Lloyd savs that
Todaroff, the driver who accompanied Ml-s
Stone when she was kidnaped, has been ar
rested on suspicion of connivance. Hn Is a
Bulgarian protcstant from n Macedonian
village and his statements arc regarded
as authentic.
I'iiIiiIn to Turku,
Todaroff nsserts that Miss Stone nnd her
party, nil Bulgarians, were stopped ' hv
brigands September 0, toward 6 o'clock In
the evening in a narrow pass In the road.
In Turkey. Tho brigands took Miss Stone
and Mine. Zlrkoff away nnd left men lo
guard the others. Tills guard, however,
disappeared tho following morning, leav
ing all tho luggago and horses behind.
"Todaroff's attempt to represent the bri
gands ns Turks Is considered suspicious
Tho fact that tho brigands loft tho luggago
untouched Is held to confirm tho belief
that their sole object wns to 1111 tho empty
pockctB of Mccedonlan ndventurers.
Todaroff declares that the closing of tho
frontier In those districts Is qulto Illusory,
ns ho crossed without a passport, nnd de
clares that he did not moot nny frontier
guards."
"The belief Is growing here," says a dls
patch to tho Standard from Constantinople,
that the Bulgarian nnd not tho Turkish
government Is responsible for tho reten
Hon of Miss Stone, whoso enpturo was com
mltted with the connivance of Mccedonlan
gltators, If not with that of tho higher
authorities. Ttid .attitude of ,tho, latter
toward brigand bands is most suspicious
and very different from what It was dur
ing the time of Stumbuloff."
So II ii Still In Durk.
SOKIA, Oct. 15. Although the tlmo fixed
by the brigands who abducted Miss Ellen M.
Stone, tho American missionary, for the
ransom expired a week ago no one has ap
peared nt Samakoff to claim thc money or
to nnnounco the fate of the captive. It is
now learned that the band has dissolved,
but that Miss Stone Is kept under Burvell-
anco at somo distance from tho frontier.
This Is duo to snow and cold weather ren
dering tho mountains uninhabitable. Tho
efforts of the police to nrrest Snraoff, for
merly president of tho Macedonian company,
who Is suspected of complicity In tho kid
naping, are still unavailing, thc failure be
ing duo to the sympnthy of tho Inhabitants
nnd thc local authorities.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15. A dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Berlin says
that tho Vosslcho Zeltung'fl Sofia corre
spondent has wired as follows concerning
developments In the kidnaping case of Miss
Stone: The police nt Sofia have arrested
certain susnccts. Including Paul Qonndleff,
brother of tho well known barrister and
deputy.
Charles M. Dickinson, United States con
sul ut Constantinople and diplomatic agent
to Bulgaria, is quoted In a Sofia dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser ns follows:
Other I'riiMiupra.Kelrniird.
"When tho Stone party was captured they
wore compelled to wade a stream up to the
Perln mountain. Miss Stono and Mmo. Tsllka
were hurried up tho mountain nnd tho other
prisoners wore released next morning. Just
before the Stono party appeared tho brig
ands captured a Turk and battered out
his brains with tho butt ends of guns to
prevent him telling they wero lying In wait.

The pnrents of Mmc. Tsllka, the Bul

gands with Miss Ellen M. Stone, the Ameri
can missionary, have received another letter
from their daughter urging the step al
ready taken, namely, stopping the military
pursuit. The brigands threaten their
prisoners with Immediate death In the
ovent of danger to themselves. Tho writer
says that she and Miss Stono nro hidden In

LONDON, Oct. 15. According to dis
patches published today by tho Dally Mall,
a crisis Is Imminent In Newfoundland un
less tho British government pays more at
tention to the demands of the colony than
has hitherto been the case. A long spe
cial from St. Johns says:
"Since Mr. Bond, the Newfoundland pre
mier, left England last April ho has not
rccolved a single word from the Imperial
government regarding tho settlement of the
French, shore question, nor has Mr. Cham
berlain ever answered the dispatch from
the Newfoundland government, sent flvo
months ago, urging the imperial authorities
to pursuauo Sir wiurm uaurier, tno uo-
minion premier, to agree to a ratification of
tho Bond-Illalno convention.
Tho dispatch gives details of the recent
Hond-Lnurler conference nna assorts mat
the Dominion premier based m refusal to
ngroe to ratification on the ground that tho
joint nign commission nan mscusscu mo
manor ana ma an iiciu ii iue com-
mission wouiu uiscuss u again.
In nn edltorlnl taking the government
severely to tnsk the Dallv Mall savs:
Assuredly this Is not the wny to treat
a loyal colony. It Is not business and It Is
not courtesy. Can It bo that the nbsent-
mlnded methods of our War office have af-
fnfA.i th ..mat d,.i.nrtment of state which
.Mr. Chamberlain has hitherto controlled so
wrii?
"The colonv has been exasperated In the
past by tho disdainful carelessness with
which Its interests havo been treated bv
tho predecessors of Mr. Chamberlain, nnd
Its temper Is likely to be strained if It
should believe that after so manv sacrifices
it Is being neglected. In such a framo of
mind a conflict with tne rrcnen on tne .New-
foundland shoro would bo only too prpb-
able, witn consequence mm tan sourruiv

AERIAL VOYAGERS COME DOWN

PAHIS. Oct. 15. Tho attempt of the
Count de la Vnux to cross the Mediter
ranean In a balloon, which left Los Sablet-
tes. near Toulon. Saturday night, has failed.
Tho minister of marine, M. do Inessnn,
has received a 'dispatch from Toulon an-
nouncing that tho orulaer Du Chayla. which
wn escorting tho balloon, is returning to
portVlth tho balloon and its passenger,
which it picked up ten miles east of St.
Laurento lighthouse. The balloon was tin-
Injured. Tho result "of tho experiment did
not cause any surprise after the news
brought to Marseilles hv Incoming steamers
thls morning that tho southeast winds,
whlch were blowing out nt sea, would carry
the balloon to tt!o coast of Spain or to Gib-
raltar. Moreover the latest news from tho
passengers of the balloon Indicated that it
was proceeding very slowly. These two
factors probably caused Count do la Vnux
to abandon his attempt. .
TOULON, Oct. 15. When Count dc la
JVnu.t landed .here -todayVho .said that tho
weather was bad yesterday. A hard oast
wind drove the balloon toward tho const
of Spain nnd a heavy rnln also fell. Tho
passengers In dhe balloon evidently sighted
St. Lauront light near Fort Vendrcs
and, fenrlng that tho balloon would bo
blown ashore, they decided to nbandon the
voyago and tncrcrore signaien 10 mo

which was done with only slight damage
to the balloon nnd no Injury to the pas-
