A more aggressive attitude than has been followed by the British troops for some months past la to be adopted. A new campaign has, it is said, been planned at home, and unless Lord Kitchener should decline to be complaisant it ought to be developed about Mew Year's Day. According to the Berlin correspondent of "Th" Chronicle." the German railway authorities are arranging to run a train in connection with the arrival of the North German Lloyd steamer?, which wjil leave Hamburg and Bremen twice weekly, and travel via Berlin to Genoa, return ing from Genoa via Frankfurt.

BULGARIA WARXED. MAY BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. SHOULD THE BRIGANDS KILL MISS STONE. Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 10. — Information has been received here from Doubnitza that the band of brigands holding captive Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary, called about a fortnight ago at the village of Smetchevo and subsequently proceeded to the monastery of Rilo, but the movements of the troops compelled the brigands to flee toward the frontier, where they are now in hiding. It Is also asserted that the brigands have re cently been treating Miss Stone with more severity In order to exercise pressure and to compel a more ready acceptance of their condi tions. Consul General Dickinson is inflexible. He insists that the surrender of Miss Stone must precede or be simultaneous with the payment of the ransom. His attitude is justified by the known determination of some members of the band, particularly the captain. Yanne San daneky. to kill Miss Stone and her companions so soon as the ransom is received, owing to the fact that the captives have now acquired in formation concerning the secret committees. Competent persons, however, express the opin ion that the cupidity of the brigands will over come their fear of revelations, and all such ap prove the declaration of Mr. Dickinson. Yesterday Mr. Dickinson made energetic rep resentations to the Bulgarian Government against the movements of the Bulgarian troops, reproaching the officials with the fact that. notwithstanding their solemn promises to give him all assistance in their power, their action was embarrassing the negotiations, retarding a settlement and placing in jeopardy the life of Miss Stone. He made a definite declaration that the Bulgarian Government would be held responsible for the death of Miss Stone and of all the consequences of her death, should it be proved that the attitude of the Bulgarian Gov ernment forced the brigands to kill their cap tives. FREXCH VICTORY COMPLETE. SI'LTAN GRANTS EVERY DEMAND AND THE SQUADRON HAS BEEN OR DERED FROM MITYLENE. Paris, Nov. 10— The French Foreign Office has announced that the Pulran has signed an irade for the execution cf his engagements with the French Government, and that the Franco-Turk ish dispute is now at an *-nd. Tewfik Pacha. Ottoman Minister of Foreign Affairs, wrote a letter to m. Bapst. councillor of the French Embassy in Constantinople, giving notice to him of the signing of the irade. which, while settling the original French demands, ac cepts the fresh demands as set forth in a dis patch to the "Temps" from Constantinople Fri day, and cabled to The Associated Press, to gether with an additional clause by which the Sultan pledges himself to consider "as author ized in full right the foundations, extensions, constructions and repairs of the schools and re ligious and hospitable establishments which Prance may desire to carry out if the Porte is advised of her intentions, and makes no ob jection within five months " France has thus received full satisfaction, and M. Delcasse. on the receipt of M. Bapst's dis patch this morning, telegraphed him to inform Tewfik Pacha that diplomati.-; relations had been resumed, and that tL ' anst should consider himself as regularly charged with the affairs of xh* embassy. Instructions were also sent to Admiral Call lard, at Mitylene, • re-embark the marines and to return to CJreefl waters, which is understood to nr-an the vicinage of the island of Syra. Ad miral Caillard will remain in the Levant some time longer. M. Constans. the French Ambassador, will re turn to Constantinople shortly. The additional clause was conceded at the re quest of France in ord*-r to prevent future diffi culties, such as the Turkish provincial author ities have often raised. r-irlK-r on their own initi ative or in consequence of instigation by the Porte. The "Temps." which describes the result as "a brilliant victory for French diplomacy,"' says: The great merit of the government was in be ing able to restrict its action. Very serious diffi culties might have arisen had France departed from her reserve. The favorable disposition shown to our representations abroad has been due to the fact that the civilized world has had opportunity during the last seven yetir.s to ob serv< » the progress of the anti-European move ment in the Sultan's councils. Frenchmen, Americans. Austrians, Italians and Britons have all been cheated by the Sultan and his council lors. After the Armenian massacres and the successful war with Greece, they thought every thing was permitted to them. We hope the Sultan will now understand his duties toward the civilized powers and toward his own ■Objects, unto wnom he has taken sol emn engagements which he has always disre garded. Otherwise Europe, which, thanks to the energetic action of France, is now able to reassume at Constantinople the authority she lost seven years ago, will applaud the initiative which the signatory powers of the Berlin Treaty are reported to be about to take to extort from the .Sultan the execution of clauses too long fallen into disuse. Constantinople. Nov. 10.— M. Bapst has re ceived a dispatch from M. Delcasse authorizing him to resume displomatic relations with the Porte to-morrow. It is understood that M. Constant will soon return to Constantinople. AI'STRIA ALSO GETS SATISFACTION. Constantinople.

NEW-YORK. MONDAY. NOVEMBER 11. 1901. -TWELVE PAGESr-brThS^A*. CONVICTS HOLD SHERIFF. HE AND A DEPUTY PRISONERS EH A FARMHOUSE-POLICE HAVE TO LET CONVICTS ESCAPE. Topeka. Kan.. Nov. 10.— Sheriff Cook and Dep uty Sheriff Williams, of this county, were capt ured by two escaped convicts from the Fort Leavenworth military prison this afternoon at Pauline, five miles south of Topeka, and held prisoners in the^ farmhouse of a man named ■Wooster for several hours. The convicts finally escaped between a line of police sent from To peka to reinforce the sheriff, and are now at large. Both were slightly wounded. TVooster was badly wounded by one of the convicts when he tried to fire on them. Mrs. Wooster and Sheriff Cook were held before the convicts as a shield by the prisoners in making their escape. A posse is in pursuit to-night. At 230 o'clock this afternoon some farmer boys near Pauline learned that the convicts were in the neighborhood. Hastily forming a posse, armed with target rifles, pistols and clubs, they gave chase. Neither of the convicts was armed, and they were unable to make a stand. Later Sheriff Cook and Deputy "Will iams arrived. Coming upon the convicts both officers fired, wounding the men. but not dis abling them. The convicts then fled through a small open ing in the timber and ran into the house of Wooster. Sheriff Cook telephoned to Topeka for assistance and then took up the chase. Thinking the convicts had run around the house. Cook darted through the open door, in tending to surprise them at the rear door. But instead of this the convicts had gone into the house, and the officer almost fell into their arms. Sheriff Cook was ordered to give up his gun, which he did. Deputy Williams by this time had reached the house and entered, without knowing what had happened inside, and he. too. was made captive by the convicts. In the mean time. Chief Stan!, of Topeka, and eight officers, were on their way. They arrived at the Wooster house about an hour after the officers had been imprisoned. Chief Stahl im mediately began negotiations with the convicts to give up their prisoners and to surrender them selves, but the convicts only laughed. Wooster then managed to get a gun. and was about to make an attack on the convicts, when one of them laid him low with a blow from the butt of a revolver taken from one of their captives. The convict broke Wooster'a right hand, and made an ugly gash in his head. One of the convicts told Sheriff Cook that he would be killed if he made the slightest move looking toward their capture. In the mean time the police officers on the outside had surrounded the building, but were afraid to make a move for fear that Cook and Williams would suffer. Mrs. Wooster had fainted in the excitement. She finally revived, and at 7 o'clock the con victs placed the woman and Sheriff Cook in front of them as shields and made for the door. Then, after exacting a promise from the Sheriff that he would not permit any of the officers outside to fire on them, they started for the open. As they left the house, the frightened farmer. his wife and the submissive Sheriff before them, the convicts passer} between a cordon of police. who easily could have captured them, and start ed for the railroad track. The Sheriff in turn had. exacted a promise from the police th.it they would not molest the convicts, and they did not. After covering a considerable distance down the track the convicts suddenly disappeared through a hedge fence, bidding the officers a mocking farewell. One of the police sergeants later said he could easily have touched the le.vl ing convict with his hand as be paspod. Th" convicts bad secured a good start before the officers had recovered from their surprise. Then some of the policemen wanted to pursue. but Sheriff Cook would not permit it. as he had promised the convicts Immunity from arrest. Chief Stahl left some of his 'non on the scene, and with the others started back to Tcpeka to take up the chase later on. From Topeka a posse was started out. and Chief Stahl expressed the opinion to-nighi thai be would land the men before morning. The convicts are well armed, and have taken all the guns in the farmhouse, Including those of the Sheriff and his deputy. They are both white men, but their Identity '.vas not learned. VEXEZI ELA \s WORRIED. DISTURBED BY A REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES CONTEMPLATED MEDIATION. Wffiemstad, Island of Curacao, Nov. 10. Ad vices received here from Capacho Vlejo, dated November."), say that the report t:om President ■ to his brother, Celestino Castro, at San Cristobal, to tN- effect that the Uni!<-,| States Government 'insists upon mediating between Venezuela and Colombia" ;aused the greatesi excitement among the troops on the frontier. General Crihe-Uribe and General Modesto ''as tro Immediately set out for San Cristobal to ob tain details. It seems that General Dribe-Urlbe refused to believe the report, declaring thnt he had no fears as to the future of the Liberal cause, be cause Preside! I Castro had given him a cast iron pledge no! tc forsake him. "Should Presi dent Castro prove untrue to th<"- Liberal cause," exclaimed General Urlbe-Uribe, "the result would be his ruin. Tlr> war will enter Colombia before Christmas." There is considerable feeling against the Castro family among th<- Colombian Liberals and along the frontier in consequence of a wide spread rumor that Celestino Castro, who is commander-in-chief at San Cristobal, hns been privately selling cattle to the enemy, the cattle being whisked across th>- frontier by means of alleged raids of Colombian Conservatives. Dur ing one of these raids a dozen soldiers were killed on both sides. It is said that tht- .-att!' change hands at a prearranged price of s".oo In the last ten years perfecting his invention. In September. 1900, he met Latham, whom he told of his invention. Latham, it is said, prom ised to interest some capitalists in the device. En May Lenney made a contract with Agne*r by which the former was to pay $120,000 for the patent. He paid Agnew $7,600, and was to have paid $25,000 Wy January. Meantime, Agnew says, Latham came to him and offered to give $80,000 in cash for the patent, saying that $250,000 in stock would be allowed to the in ventor out of a million dollar capitalization of the Auto Mailing Company. Agnew asked Len ney to cancel the contract with him. Lenney consented, when Latham, it is charged, present ed a check purporting to be certified by the Knickerbocker Trust Company. The check was deposited in the Nassau Bank. Agnew later went to the Knickerbocker Trust Company and was told there by Secretary King that no check had been certified by the company for Latham Before Agnew's suspicions were aroused. Latham went to the Patent Office and bad the patent transferred to him. it is alleged. ' Th* prisoner says he is a graduate of Harvard University, and a member of the law firm or Latham & Latham, of Detroit. Mich. He will be arraigned in Jefferson Market court to-day. LIVELY EIGHT WITH BEAR*. CUB DROPS AMONG HUNTERS AT LUNCH EON, MOTHER AND ANOTHER BRUIN QUICKLY FOLLOW. [BT TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.] Goshen. N. V., Nov. 10.— New-York hunt ers. F. W. Low and Joshua Sands, and a friend, Augustus Schneider, of Nyack. had a desperate fight with two bears at Claraville on Saturday. The hunters had been after partridges, and when the noon hour came sat down to eat their luncheon. A good sized bear cub tumbled down among them from an overhanging spur of rock. Almost at the same moment the mother bear and a nearly grown young bear were upon them. Low seized his gun and sent a charge of small bird shot into the mother bear's eye. She went down, but was quickly up and at him again. With unerring aim Low sent a charge into the other eye and hastily slipping another shell into th- gun, finished her by a charge in the throat. The claws tore his trousers as the bear fell. The younger bear pursued Schneider and Bands, whose guns had been left some distance away. Sands reached the guns first and ran back to his friend's assistance. His first charge tor* the nose of the bear and his second lodged to Its foreleg. It came on and reared to strike •im At that moment Schneider poked his gun over his friend's shoulder and stopped the bear with a charge in the centre of the forehead. It fell to the ground and Sands finished the brute. All three men were more or less scratched. The cub escaped. SPEEDING "AVTO" HITS TREK.

When the vehicles reached Bal k Place. on Warburton-ave.. the machine on the river side suddenly swerved, and in a twinkling it crashed into a tree at the roadside. The three occupants were thrown Into the air One, a woman, struck on h<>r head, but rallied quickly and rose to her feel before the male members of the party, who had been hurled into the middle of the street, could go to her assistance. Tho firs; to aid the Injured parties were those who occupied the other machine. Dr Holden, who Mves near by. -.va.« summoned to attend th*> t l , injured ones. No bones were broken, al though a» bore severe cuts and bruises. Th<> automobile waa a tangled heap of wreckage. Th.> wreck was put into a wagon and carted to New- York The injured persons made a determined effort to conceal their identity. It was learned, how ever that the woman and one of the other members of the party were Mr. and Mrs. Gold- Ing of New-York City, but neither their address nor the names of the others could be learned. It was paid that the party had come from Ards ley-on-the-Hudson. Mrs. Holding's injuries were the most serious. Mrs. Golding. who. It is said i* the owner of the machine, was operat ing it herself at the time of the accident. The avenue from Hayings Village to honkers is. a level stretch of macadam and asphalt that in vitea fast time. The place where the accident occurred was on the asphalt pavement. It is said that the chief cause of the crash was probably a defective strip In the pavement which was left by the local water department after making an excavation to repair a water main When the wheels of the vehicle encoun tered this depression in the street it caused the machine to swerve violently toward the curb and. before it could be righted, it jumped over" the curb and plunged into a tree, almost thirty feet from the rut. Had it not been for the tree the machine would have smashed into the large plate glass window of a drug store only a few feet away and directly in line with the automobile. The injured persons boarded a train for NVw-Ynrk. The accident occurred about 5 o'clock. ADRIFT OX SOUND IN OPEN BOAT. TWO PISHEKMKX AT THE MERCT OF THE WAVES-LITTLE HOPE OF RESCUE. Milford. Conn.. Nov. 10.— Early this morning two unknown men, supposed to have come from New-Haven, rented a rowboat at Woodmont and Btarted out fishing. When a short distance from land they broke an oar. A strong east wind was blowing off shore, and the men found it im possible to put the boat about and return, and they swiftly drifted out into the Sound. Will iam Hall and Clifford Merwin put out in a row boat after the unfortunate men. but after two hours' work were compelled to return. The New-Haven police were informed and two tugs were sent out to look for the drifting craft, but after searching for some hours they put back to the city unsuccessful. A high wind has been blowing- all day. the water is extremely rough, and it is doubtful if the small craft will live outside the breakwater. If the men escape drowning it is probable that they will be frozen to death, as they were in sufficiently clothed for such an experience.

TWO MEN IX DAYLIGHT ROBBED AT THE MOT'TH OF A REVOLVER. Two men were held up at 2 p. m. yesterday at the mouth of a pistol and robbed of $i& Fol lowing the robbery there was an exciting chase down Fifth-aye. by a bicycle policeman and a terrific struggle for the possession of the revol ver, with which the prisoner attempted to shoot his castor. Intense excitement prevailed in Fifth-aye. while a mob of several hundred persons joined in the chase. They yelled threateningly at the struggling prisoner, who fought desperately to get free, but they feared to take a hand until the pistol was wrested from him. Then they crowded around the prisoner and tried to take the law into their own hands by beating him. The policeman held the mob off by the use of his stick, and succeeded in reaching the station be fore his prisoner could be taken away from him. Jacob Jaschernoritz and Robert Bonhi, Bo hemians, were on their way to the Grand Cen tral Station to board a train for the western part of Pennsylvania, where they were to go to work in the mines. They both had come from Maspeth, Long Island, where they had been working on a farm. In a Madison-aye. car they met an affable young man who said he was positive that he had met them somewhere. They could not recall any such meeting. The stranger offered to give them any assistance in his power. When they told him that they were on their way to the coal mines he volunteered what they thought invalu able information. He had been there, he said, and knew all the ropes, and would have no diffi culty in sending them to a mine where they would get immediate employment, as he had been part owner of the mine, and any one he would recommend would be put right to work. The Bohemians were profuse in their thanks, and when he suggested getting off the car at Forty-fourth-st. to walk to the Grand Central Station they readily consented. He stood on the sidewalk with the Bohemians for a while. talk- Ing about mining and the amount of money they could make. SHOWED HIS MONEY TO THE STRANGER "But have you enough money to pay for your tickets 0 " asked the stranger, addressing Jascher noritz. The latter replied that he thought so. and to prove it drew a roll of bills from his pocket He counted $4o\ and was about to put the money ba-k in his pocket when the stranger laid a hand on his arm. "One minute, there. Bill." said the stranger, and when Jasr-hf-rnoritz faced about h» looked into the muzzle of a revolver. The Bohemian tried to thrust the money In his pocket. "None of that, now." s;iid th<- stranger, wrest ing the money from the laborer: "if you begin to howl I'll blow your h*ad off." The Bohemians were dumb with fright, and did not move until they saw the stranger turn- Ing down Fifth-aye. "Stop thief!" they yelled and started after him. A bier crowd was soon in pursuit. Bicycle Roundsman Eugene Casey was standing at Forty-seventh-st.. and at once mounted his wheel and darted off in the chase. The straneer was a Rood sprinter and of an athletic build. Casey had soon passed the crowd and was clos ing on the fleeing man At Forty-second-st. the stranger turrit toward the railroad station. Casey prabbed him just east of Kifth-ave. Th- deperado pointed his revolver at Casey. The latter struck the prisoner's arm and d^alt him .1 blow over the head with his billy. The prisoner fought furiously to pet free. He had wedged his fingers in some manner under the trigger, and It seemed th».t the revolver would explode any minute. FIGHT WITH THK DESPERADO.

The boys of lower Washington -sr and tooas of Broad-st. have for many yarp kecSj en»mi»s. Battle after battle has b-=>en fought between tho two factions. One day last week the leader of the Bros '. =t. gang, who is known as "Wall Street Mike.' " strayed into the enemy's territory. "Mike" was alone and unarmed. It did not rake long for some of the Washington-st. gang to "spot" "Mike." and when he at lust reached him* th» bumps and bruises on his face made h/m hardly recognizable. After a few days' recuperation "Mike" gath ered about fifty of his friends Th" Washinsr ton-st. boys, knowing that an attempt would be made to avenge the punishment administered to> "Mike." set about patherin~ their forces. Yesterday morning the two gangs met outside the north end of Battery Park. All the b^y«, whose ages ranged from seven to fifteen years, were armed with sticks and stones. The fight lasted about two hours, and was frequently broken up by the police. At last the Washing ton-st. gang had to admit itself conquered for* the time, most of the boys having received black eyes and bloody noses. The Broad-st. gang, headed hy "Mike." re turned to their homes for dinner, rejoicing. While the Brrad-st. boys were washing th e lr faces and were dressing for ?'jr.day school, their enemies were planning a swift revenge. Nearly all the Broad-st. boys attend the Sunday school in the Sisters of the Holy Rosary Mission, at No. 7 State-st. Sunday school there begins at 2 p. m., and ends at ?>. When the boj s went into the mission every thing in the street was quiet. During the Sun day school session small boys gathered in front of the mission. They were quiet and well be haved. When the mission bell rang the Broad st. boys began to file out. Suddenly one of them spied a small form hiding behind a tree in tha park. He told his companion, and then it was noticed that a lot of similar forms were flitting about here and there behind piles of paving stones and elevated railway pillars. One of this Broai-st. hoys ran back and told Father Bro? nan. tho boys' teacher. When Father Brosnan came out he was horrified to see- his pupils fight- Ing with a lot of stranere hoys. In vain he shout ed to them to stop. It was '~nly when the Broad-st. boys say» up the unequal fight that the battle was ended. The "Wash ns»ton-st. gang i.^n- considers its revenge complete.

The passengers were thrown into a panic The right ankle of John German, forty years old. of No. 24 Hart aw Jersey City. was broken. He was taken to the Hudson Street Hospital. The collision was between cars of the Sixth ave. and Eighth-aye. line? At Fulton and Greenwich sts. there is a switch. The Sixth-aye. car was bound to the Cortlandt-st. ferry, and the front trucks took the switch, but the rear truck wheels in some way turned up the Fulton st. tracks. This threw the car off the track. The Eighth-aye. car was close behind, and be fore the motorman could stop it the car crashed into the other one. Nearly every pane of gla«s in both cars was smashed. Fortunately all the passengers escaped injury except German, who was on the Eighth-aye. car. The passengers pushed their way out of th<» Eighth-aye. car. some of them trampling on German, who was unable to rise from the floor. The scene in the Sftxth-ave. car was the same. Men and women made a wild scramble for botn doors. Policemen attracted by the screams of the women finally mar.ag-d to qnict the pas sengers. Many of the women had fainted Th»y were attended by Dr. Johnson, who cam** with an ambulance. The police did not make any arrests. Both lines wer- blocked f r over an hour by th? col lision. MIBS WILLIAMS EOTXD. MISSING DAUGHTER OF DR. G. A. WILLIAMS. OF BROOKLYN. IN GREAT BAR RINGTON. MASS. Great Harrington. Mass.. Nov. 10.— Augusta i Williams, daughter of Dr. G. A. Williams, of No. 440 Hancock-st.. Brooklyn, has been at the home of Mrs. Ella Stiles since her sudden de parture from her home last Friday. This after noon she disappeared from Mrs. Stiles'a house and was found to-night at the home of Samuel Williams, near North Egremont. by Clarence B. Rowe and W. W. Norton, who drove there in search of her. She was taken to the home of John Walsh, where she will be kept until th® i arrival of Dr. Williams, who is expected here to night from Hudson. The girl has acted strangely and was hysterical to-night. Dr. and Mrs. Williams, who believed that their daughter went away while suffering from tem porary aberration, were worried almost to dis traction, when, about 2 o'clock yesterday after noon. Dr. Williams was called to the telephone in his house. A voice at the other end of the wire said that Miss Williams was in Great Bar rington, safe and sound, and wanted to talk to her father. The girl did not explain why she had left home, but said she was well, and would come home at once. Then she would tell all about her strange trip. Fearing that the girl might not have fully recovered her reason. Dr. Williams decided to go to Great Barrington and bring her home himself. When Miss Williams first disappeared her father communicated with a number of places where he thought she might have gone. Among them was Great Barri.gton. where the girl spent the vacation last summer with friends. At that time he was told that nothing had been seen of When'she left Brooklyn MM Williams carried her SI- or $20 which she had saved in the last two or three years. About six months ago t» £h had a fall from a bicycle, since when she has Sad much sickness. Her father thinks thlt a sudden desire for new surroundings was responsible for the girl's disappearance. STEEL TRUST AFTER TROT PLAXT. Troy. N. V.. Oct. 10.— Negotiations are being carried on for the sale of the Breaker Island plant of the Troy Steel Company to the United Stales Steel Corporation. The plant, which is the largest in the State, has been idle for five years, and is now in the hands of a receiver. At one time it employed more than three thousand men. Last summer the buildings and furnaces w«r» repaired at a larjje expense.
