AN AMEER'S DEATH.
CAUSING MUCH WORRY IN GREAT
BRITAIN.
Afghanistan's Chief Has Been an Able
Man and Whether His Successor
Will Be or Not Is a Question.
New York Oct. 8. —Discussing the
death of the Ameer of Afghanistan the
Isindon correspondent of the Tribune
says:
The Ameers strength of character and
the ability of his yer vice in preserving
Afghanistan as a buffer between the em-
pires are largely recognized ami anxiety
is expressed lest his successor lack the
qualities so essential to the peace of
Asia. Au old army officer who spent
thirty years in Undid is authority for the
statement that Abdurrhman was one of
the must remarkable men the Orient has
ever produced and had the power of
gripping the Afghan tribes together and
maintaining the independence of his
country.
"If his successor tie a weak ruler” he
remarked "there will be a break-up of
the Afghan tritiec and Russian intrig-
uers will resume operations. But the
telegraphs ami railways are now on the
borders of Afghanistan and wliat happena
there cannot be concealed from Simlai
win-re there 4s a iwimlde viceroy who
knows -both Afghanistan ami Persia.”
Commenting u|h>ii the possible develop-
incuts in Asia as a result of the death of
the Ameer the London correspondent of
the Tinies says:
"The fact that the military strength
of Afghanistan has so greatly developed
in the last twenty years is not regarded
as of itself a menace to the power of
Great Britain in the Orient. On the
contrary it i« regarded as enabling the
Afghans to repel invasion. It is said
that an army of 1OO.IMM) Afghans could
Im* raised ami armed in the latest man-
lier. The element of possible danger
lies in the character of the new Ameer
who may lend an ear to the Russian
tempter ami connive at invasion with an
ulterior purpose. These |>o«srbi)ilies
have always caused fears whenever the
recent report* of the Ameer's failing
health have reached England.”

London. Oct. 8. —The Vienna oorres-
pondenit of the Times says the long con-
ference last week -between Emperor Fian-
<is Joseph Count GoluchowsKy (Anstro-
Ilung.trian minister of foreign affairs*
and King Charles of Roumania have
exerted much speculation. There ore
many important matters of common in-
terest 4o Austria-Hungary and Ron-
mania. Since these sovereigns last met
a substantial agreement has been effect-
ed between Roumania and Grew*. RoU-
mdnia is believed to lie bound to Austria
by military converttAm and Roumania
and Greece united in bonds of cordial
intimacy says the dispatch constitute
a fresh element favoring peace in the

Alleged Consolidation of Cotton Mills
Said to be a Canard.
New York Oct. 8. —The Jouma! of
Commerce prints the following:
A report is current in cotton circles
that a 'large consolidation into a new
corporation of Fall River print cloth
mills is about to Die announced. The
report has taken the apparently specific
form tint the combination will include
virtually ail the mills except the Borden
mills and contemplates moreover the
bleaching and priming as a part of the
new company’s operations. M. C. D.
Borden however when asked concern-
ing the reported consolidation declared
that such an arrangement would not Im*
feasibile and when the matter of opera-
ting printing plants in connection with
the mills was Drought to his attetion he
said he felt absolutely sure that no bas-
is whatever existed for the report. In
local cotton goods circles the report is
believed to lie founded upon the fact that
important stock holders in a number of
the mills have become financially ami
actively identified with the Allen Print
Works of Providence. R. I. It is ex-
pected that the output of these mills
will lie sent to the Allen Print Works for
printing and thus in this way the allied
interests will lie placed in neady the
same position as Mr. Borden's mill.
Tliinks the Present Tariff Law Should
Chicago Oct. 8. —In an interview last
night < oiigressman Babock of Wisconsin
Republican w ho declared himself still an
uncompromising protectionist said:
“When any article can lie manufactur-
ed in tlie United States cheaper tlian
anywhere else and is an article of export
the duty produces no revenue and af-
fords no protection but simply enables
those who secure control to make such
prices as they see fit in the domestic
market up to a point where it can be
imported.”
Mr. Babcock instanced tdie steel trust
as illustrating 4iis contention that the
present system aids monopolies. He in-
sisted in this interview that the domina-
tion of the world's inarkrts shows that
high tariff duties are not needed.

TO ROOT OUT ANARCHY.
BRITAIN AND AMERICA MUST
STAND TOGETHER.
Foolishness of These Two Countries
in the Matter Has Done Much far
the Dirty Cause.
New York Oct. 8. —Savs the London
*
corespondent of the Tribune:
A prominent ofihsal connected with
criminal prosecution is authority for the
statement that America and England
were responsible for the failure of a re-
cent conference of police oilicials of Eu-
ropean powers directed against anar-
chism!
"If our two countries" he remarked
"had been willing to restrict the privil-
ege of political asylum anarchism would
•have lieen doomed for its advocates
would be driven out of one country after
iiuotlier aud ciunpelhsl to abandon tneir
principles. Anarchism will be found as
long as Englund aud America agree to
shelter and protect them. Ut those
two doors be cloaed upon them and they
will disappear from the face on the
earth.”
The eminent specialist quoted asserts
with emphasis that England and Ameri-
ca made a serious mistake in rejecting
the overtures for international polii-e
measures against anarchists after the
murder of the King of Italy anu mat
they ought to undo the mischief by re-
opening negotiations for n conference.
His remedy for anarchism is expulsion
of anarchists (roll every foreign asylum

BREAK UP LARGE ESTATES
This Says a Professor Would Keep l*eo-

Lomlon Oct. 8. — The Vienna corres-
pondent of the Times sends (he opinion
of Professor Suezs the eminent Austrian
tutliorlty on irnKtical economy aim form-
erly one of the liberal leaders in the
Rele.hsratli on the proposed German cus-
toms tariff. Suezs says he approves
the presumable motive of the German
government to keep the peasant on the
land and check the flow toward the
towns. He asserts however that the
tariff will not benetit the peasant but
that the hulk of the profit will go to
the qorn dealers and the landed proprie-
tors. The tariff will not nullify the
pogtive attractions of town life whMt
bring young countrymen to the cities and
will not counteract the demand for fe-
male servants which is largely supplied
from the country.
Prof. Suez.s snys the only way to
cheek the exodus front the country would
be to radically reform the privileges of
great hind owners and break up the large
estates.

of Admiral Schley's counsel for the pur-

interest in the fate of Miss Ellen M.
Stone the kidnnp]>ed American mission
ary intensifies here. There is wide-
spread condemnation of the government
for allowing sneh freedom to the Mac-
donian committee as to enable it to en-
gineer the outrage. Mias Stone resided
here before she went to Salonica and is
well known throughout the couatry.
Patriotic Bulgarians are incensed as they
recognize that Misa Stone and her col-
leggues of the America Mission in Bul-
garia and Macdonia have been their best
frienda throughout their troubles. There
is no lack of indications that Prince
Ferdinand is imperiling his own position

nent people in support of the Macedonian
cause. Consul General Dickinson w hen
here on his way to Sofia from Constan-
tinople thought it probable if the bri-
gands understood from headquarters
that the ransom would not be paid that
they would release Miss Stone as tlie
Macedonian cause would not be helped'
by the murder of the woman.
