tended lo contlrm the existing belief
that it llnal basin of settlement of the
contest for the control of Northern

I'"iiial r.itilicntion of this agreement
will bring into existence the greatest

that the details are not yet completed

today denouncing ex-C'ongressmun

last night, expelling from tho Federa
Hon and convention and denouncing

other meeting for Thursday night, at
which tho views of tho dissatisfied
delegates may be expressed publicly.
Tn'.riug the day and preceding tho
adoption of the. resolutions, the ques
tion of adjourning to tMiother city o
conclude its labors was considered,
but defeated. Colonel Hieckluridge's
speech was considered courteous nnd in
the vein of a supplemental welcome to
that of the mayor, Colonel HrocMn
ridge said he wns the friend of labor
orgaiilnatioiis: that he heartily favored
the organization of labor, hut that he
thought that its battles should bo
fought with reason and not with force;
that thu day of strikes was over, citing
and criticizing the big steel strike. He
said further that, he did not believe it
conducive to the best interest of labor,
but unjust and was an abrogation of
personal liberty, for unions to say to
the employer, "You must employ only
whom we choose, pay them what we
demand," nnd say to the workinginan,
"Unless yon Join our union you cannot
work."
This expression of opinion was not
pleasing lo a number of Hie delegates
and several wanted to make speeches,
when Colonel lireckinridgo. bed con
cluded. Tho chairman, Vice President Learn
ing, announced that tho programme
was concluded and declared the meet
ing adjourned. Agitation of the griev
ance today led the dissatisfied dele
gates lo declare thft organiz-d labor

to interfere with Consul General Dick

to become 11 parly to an nirrecmenl

In defense of the interests of IJulgarln,
the olllclals cannot show weakness

It is suggested that Mr. Dickinson
give the bandits a. tlxod time in which
to accept tho amount offered and tho
conditions of payment as" tho only
means of bringing the matter to a
speedy conclusion, inasmuch as the
prestige of the United States is injured
by tho present inconsequent negotia

day intended to be corrective of re
ports that have been widely published
relative to the condition that resulted
in her capture by the brigands. This
statement alilrms that Miss Stone was
in pursuit of her customary duties as
a missionary when she was captured.
The route over which she was travel
ing is one that is continually used by
the missionaries and without reason for
any special danger. No warning what
ever was given to Miss Stone as to
this particular journey, either by the
Turkish or Bulgarian authorities. She
had the usual e.cort of eighteen or
twenty people and was accustomed to
carry with her a Turkish leskre, or
pei mil to travel. One of the mission
aries acquainted with the region states
that tho route Miss Stone took was the
safest of any in that region. Tho state
ment further alilrms that there is no
ground whatever for crltlclslne' Miss
Stone for want of piecniitlou in making
this Journey.

Washington, Nov. 1.1. While tho war
department has not been advised of the
reported step to obtain the release of
Aguliialdo from captivity, through writ
of habeas corpus, they were prepared
fur a move in that direction. A few
weeks ago the fhvt application of this
kind was made in tlie case of 11 mili
tary prisoner, and as (hero was some
indication or a disposition on tlm part
of the Philippine commission to up
hold the right of habeas corpus in that
case, the president was obliged to cable
instruction both to the commission
und General Chaffee, the result of
which was .1 practical denial of thu
writ.
Tho war department officials have
deprecated the making of an issue on
this important point, pending the deci
sion of the Supreme court in tho "Four

tho question as to whether the consti
