Time limit or stone ransom in Sofia
Bulgarian officials deny intending to interfere with Consul-General Dickinson’s private talks to release Miss Stone from brigands while refusing to back any pact that welcomes brigands into Bulgaria. They suggest Dickinson set a fixed time for payment terms to speed a conclusion, noting US prestige is harmed by ongoing inconclusive negotiations. The hotel is a frequent source of stale or false tips. Miss Stone’s letters claim troop movements force brigands to stay mobile, implying Bulgarian soldiers’ involvement rather than Turkish troops in Macedonia.

Wheeler Criticized for Civil Service Violations in Boston Streets Office
Massachusetts civil service commissioners accuse Superintendent Wheeler of bypassing civil service by appointing ward heelers to office while certified eligibles wait. Investigations show salaries going to noncertified workers, with appointed names returned to the commission even if no pay is received. A surviving dead man appears on the appointment list amid broader proof of systemic abuse in the street department.
