Attitude of the State Department
In the Case of Miss Stone, the
Missionary Captive.
SENATOR 6ALLIN6ER AND THE TARIFF.
Coniiniaxioii of Herbert Pierce, of
Masxaehuselta as Third Aaiiiatant
Secretary of State Signed—Presi
dent's Thanksgiving Proclama
tion Cabled to Manila,
"Washington, Nov. 16.—It is said at
lie state department that no authori
zation has been sent to Consul-Gener
al Dickinson to exempt from punish
ment the brigands who kidnaped Miss
Stone, as one of the conditions of her
ransom. In fact, our government has
not authorized any promise whatever
to be made that would bind its hands
in dealing with this subject in the fu
ture, or that would prevent it either
from insisting on the punishment of
the brigands or from lodging a de
mand for full indemnity for the mon
ey which may be paid over as ransom
for Miss Stone. There is no disposi
tion to disavow any of Mr. Dickin
son's acts, but the officials here are
confident that he has not compro
mised the case. Because of his diplo
matic rank it is left to Mr. Spencer
Eddy, United States charge d'affaires
at Constantinople, to make any repre
sentations of a diplomatic character,
and that he is exercising his function
in that direction is exhibited in the
character of the representations he
has been making to the Bulgarian
agents at Constantinople. These rep
resentations make it evident that the
United States is laying the founda
tion for a claim that Bulgaria is prop
erly responsible for what has oc
curred, though for prudential reasons
the details of the negotiations are
withheld from publication.
GALLINGER AMJ THE TARIFF.
Tlie New Hampshire Senator Opposes
Revision of the Tariff.
Washing-ton, Nov. 16.—Senator Gal
liger, of New Hampshire, who was
one of the president’s callers, not
only opposes a revision of the tariff
hut also any tariff concessions to
other countries through reciprocity
treaties. He is especially hostile to
any treaty looking to the reduction of
duties on Canadian imports. “We sell
three times as much to Canada as the
Dominion sells to us,” said he. “Why
should we make concessions? In my
opinion there will be no reciprocity
treaty with Canada. I was in Toronto
recently and heard Sir Wilfrid Lau
rier, the Canadian premier, say in a
sjieech, that Canada was through with
sending delegates to Washington look
ing for trade concessions. He said
that if negotiations were to be re
sumed, we would have to take the ini
tiative.

'Washington, Nov. 16.—President
Roosevelt’s thanksgiving proclama
tion has been cabled to Manila, to be
published in the Philippine islands. It
"tvas found that the proclamation

main in that city during the present
session of congress, and work in be
half of statehood for Oklahoma and
Indian territory, were appointed as a

rHE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Two of Lord Kltclieuer’* Monthly Reviews
of Operations In Disputed
Territories.
London, Nov. 16.—Two of Lord
Kitchener’s monthly reviews, dated
August 8 and September 8, were pub
lished in the Gazette last evening1.
They are chiefly summaries of wide,
sweeping movements through all parts
of the disputed territories, with the
results, casualties and prisoners cap
tured, as previously reported. An as
tonishing number of horses were cap
tured, those in August alone number
ing 13,570. About 20 per cent, were fit
for remounts and the others are brood
mares and foals.
Though admitting the disappointing
results of some of the operations.
Lord Kitchener comments on them as
follows:
“So long as this rate of progress
can be maintained, there can be little
doubt of its ultimate effect, even on
an enemy to whom no other form of
argument seems to appeal.”
The report further says thp.t the
svstem of chains of block-houses at
intervals of a mile, and somtimes
less, along the railroad wasObeing ex
tended. Besides extending the lines,
these blockhouses hamper communi
cation between different portions of
the Boer forces and act as barriers
against which to drive the enemy.
Lord Kitchener says:
“The influence of the Boer leaders
and their organized system of intim
idation still keep in the field a large
number of burghers, who, if left to
themselves, would be ready to surren
der.”
The writer favorably mentions sev
eral hundred officers, non-commis
ioned officers and men.
A dispatch from Lord Kitchener,
dated from Pretoria yesterday, says
1hat a strong patrol of yeomanry,
while reconnoitering November 3, at
Brakspruit (in the Transvaal colony,
alxnit 140 miles west of Pretoria), was
surrounded by 300 Boers and lost six'
men killed and sixteen wounded. Some
of the troopers were captured, but
subsequently released.
The rear guard of Col. Bvng’s col
umn was attacked near Heilbron. Or
ange River colony, November 14, by
400 Boers, said to be under the com
mand of Gen. DeWet. After two ;
hours’ fighting the Boers retired,
leaving eight dead on the field. Of
Col. Byng’s column Lieut. Hughes and
one man were killed and three offi
cers and nine men were wounded.
They Were Evidently Traitors.
Middelburg, Cape Colony, Friday,
Oct. 26.—One hundred and eighty dis
trict mounted troops, composed large
ly of Dutchmen, with their arms and
horses, surrendered to Smut’s com
mando, October 13. The district troops
fired most of their ammunition at
long range and then refused to fight
further. Capt. Thornton, their com
mander, believes their surrender to
have been prearranged.
ENGLAND OUTSTRIPPED.
Another Visitor Who Recognizes the
Superiority of American Meth
ods and Energy.
London, Nov. 16.—The Daily Chron
icle publishes to-day an interview
with Ebenezer Parltes, M. P., dealing
with the results of his recent visit
to the United States.
Mr. Parkes was reluctant to antici
pate his formal report, but he con
fessed that British traders were likely
to experience more severe competi
tion than any with which they were
yet acquainted.. He expressed opin
ions resembling those of other Brit
ish visitors to America as to the su
periority of American methods and
the greater energy and ambition of
both employers and operatives in the
United’ States. He said that in the
steel trade particularly, Great Britain
was far behind. In discussing the suc
cess of American workmen, he as
serted that in his judgment, their
freedom from vested interests and
trade union influences counted for
much. He expressed the opinion also
that it was not impossible that Brit
ish manufacturers would have to
adopt the American system of trusts.
Commenting editorially upon the in
terview, the Daily Chronicle urges the
trade unions to “recognize »hat the
methods suited to the old regime are
not suited to the new era of interna
tional competition,” pointing out that
“markets lost to-day may be lost for
ever.”
THE CHINESE COURT.
Arrived. nt K ul-Fonu-Fu—Left a
Trail of Ruin Behind Them—To
Welcome the Emperor.
Pekin, Nov. 16.—The Chinese court
has arrived at Kai-Fong-Fu, capitul
of Ho-Nan, having left the people
along its route of march half-ruined
by the contributions levied for enter
tainment, repairing of roads and dec
orations. The minister* of the foreign
powers are considering a suggestion
from the Chinese officials, to the effect
that the ministers meet and formally
welcome the emperor when he arrive*
at Pekin.
Mrs. S. C. Cramer Killed at Cen*
tral City, Missouri, By a
Would-Be Robber.
LATTER WAS KILLED BY MR. CRAMER.
Tlie Dead Robber n Former Employe
of Cramer, and Knew that tlie
butter Had Money In the House—
An Ineffectual Shot Fired at a
Second Kobher.
Joplin, Mo., Nov. 16.—Mrs. S. C.
Cramer and Edward Watkins were
shot and killed at Central City, a min
ing1 camp, four miles west of Joplin,
early Friday morning.
Watkins was formerly in the em
ploy of Mr. Cramer, in a general store,
and knew that Cramer had money in
the bank. Thursday he .approached
Cramer and told him where he could
purchase a pair of mules for $150, and
Cramer came to Joplin and drew the
money. They were to start at an
early hour Friday.
At two o’clock Friday morning Mrs.
Cramer was awakened by footsteps in
the house, and, sitting up in bed, saw
a masked figure, and was commanded
to put up her hands. She recog'nized
the voice, and said: “What do you
want, Ed?” Watkins tired, and the
bullet struck Mrs. Cramer and killed
her.
Mr. Cramer was aroused by the talk
ing and reached for his revolver, and
fired almost simultaneously with Wat
kins.
Cramer’s first shot struck Watkins
in the left breast, and two more were
fired into Watkins’ back as he fell for
ward. The latter died without speak
ing a word. Then grabbing the re
colver from Watkins he fired at an
other masked man as he ran from
the house.
Watkins is supposed to have con
cocted the mule story solely with a
view to robbing Cramer.
Cramer’s little 18-months-old girl was
sleeping between her mother and fa
ther during the shooting, and escaped
unhurt.
HE COULDN’T GO IT ALONE.
Wlieii Ills Confederate Died George
ZoIIeinboffer Acknowledged
Their Steulings.
New York, Nov. 16.—Defalcations
amounting, it is claimed, to $60,000
have been discovered in the accounts
of the Williamsburg savings bank, an
institution conducted at Williams
burg, in the suburbs of Brooklyn,
Gen. .7. V. Meserole, the president of
the bank, is authority for the state
ment that the parties implicated in
the affair are Harry E. Corbett, a
former paying teller of the bank, who
died November 2, and George Zollein
hotfer, a receiving teller, who, it is
alleged, gave the first information
leading to the discovery.
The bank is fully protected, it is
said, by the bonds of both Corbett
and Zolleinhofl'er. Harry E. Corbett
had been in the employ of the bank
for 18 years. He was looked upon as
a man of exemplary habits, and not
the slightest suspicion attached to
him up to the time of his death.
According to Gen. Meserole, on Fri
day of last week George Zolleinhofl'er,
one of the receiving tellers, went to
the cashier, William Burns, and con
fessed to him that he (Zolleinhoffer)
and Corbett had for the past two or
three yeai-s taken funds from the in
stitution for the purpose of stock
gambling, and that so far as he could
estimate, the amount that had been
lost was between $50,000 and $60,000.
Cashier Burns had Zolleinhoffer re
peat his confession to President Mese
role and a meeting of the trustees of
the bank followed.
The examination was not concluded
that day, nor is it yet concluded, but
irregularities enough were found to
show that Zolleinhoffer had not ex
aggerated the extent of the defalca
tions.
Zolleinhoffer, after making his con
fession, placed himself in the hands
of the trust companies, and is aiding
them in the investigation of the
books. He was, with one exception,
the oldest employe of the bank, hav
ing been with the institution for 33
years. He is 60 years old
THE BABY MINE DISASTER.

Bluefield, W. Va., Nov. 15.—Latest
reports from the Baby mines disas

it i$ much more serious than at first
was supposed. Up to noon to-day nine
bodies had been recovered, and it is
believed that 15 more are yet in the
burning mine.
Fire companies from the surround
