Until a all Bu received from Minister L mail the state artment will a do nothin the matt likely, however, that Bulgariz titude will have an important bear- ing on the determination by the United States of the question of re- sponsibility for Miss Stone’s abduc- tion. Minister Leishman is now engaged in conducting an inquiry into the circumstances of the abduction and the subsequent ransom negotiations, with a view of ascertaining whether Turkey or Bulgaria was in any meas- ure responsible for the indignity of- fered to an American citizen or for causing the numerous delays in the accomplishment of the attempts of American agent. including Mr, Dick- inson, to bring about Miss Stone's re- lease. The abduction took place on Bulgarian territory. Mr. Dickinson's explanation of his difficulties with the Bulgarian officials is awaited with interest, and any accusations he may make will be given careful con- sideration. Should any claim for in- demnity be made against Bulgaria, it will not be less in amount than the ransom paid, $72,000, for Miss Stone's release. Mr. Dickinson was appointed con- sul general at Constantinople by President McKinley September 17, 1897. On April 24, 1901, he was ap- pointed diplomatic agent at Sofia, his commission dating from July 1 of that year. He still maintains his con- sular position, the salary of which is $5,000. Immense Power of Froat. A notable quarrying feat has just been accomplished at the Rubislaw granite quarries, Aberdeen. A large stone had been drilled ready for splitting, when the thought struck the foreman that nature might aid in the object to be attained, the idea being suggested by the severe frost which prevailed. Water was poured into each of the drill holes, and it was found after a couple of days that the bleck of granite had com- pletely burst open. An idea of the immense power of frost will be gathered when it is stated that the stone thus detached has 4 weight of six tons.

Gideon appealed to some- thing like a hundred patients who owed him money and managed te collect just $3.25. “I can eat on that,” he reasoned, “if I only can get transportation.” Back in St. Louis Gideon had stood pretty well on the paper for which he worked, and he wrote a long and pa- thetic appeal for a railroad ticket. He didn’t expect to get it, but he did. Then he was happy—as happy, almost, as if he had all the money that was due him.

The biographical notice of the new secretary, contained in the Congres- sional Record, is very meager, show- ing his political career in its barest outlines. But it appears that he is a | man of affairs, and it is particularly gratifying for people interested in the navy to know that he brings to his new post a mind of experience in | governmental! affairs, acquired through his work for several years jon the appropriations committee of the house. Mr. Moody is a compara- tively young man, being in his forty- ninth year. He is a lawyer by pro- \fession, being a graduate of Phillips’ jacademy, Andover, Mass., and Har- ,vard university.
