HAY DISCUSSES POLICIES He table (ktberia( of doests of tbe New York Chamber of Commerce New York, (Special).—The chief event at the annual banquet of the New York Chamber of Commerce at Delmonico’s Tuesday night was a speech by Secretary of State Hay, in which he made important declarations regarding the foreign policy of the United States. Mr. Hay said in part: # "I am asked to say something about *our diplomacy.

BRIGANDS REDUCED RANSOM.

Sofia, Bulgaria, (By Cable).—The brigands who captured Miss Ellen M. Stdne and Madame Tsilka have reduced the amount of ransom demanded to £ao,000 Turkish (about $88,000 ) They had previously demanded $110,000. Coincident with this news u the information that the leaders of the band, if convinced that this is more than Consul Dickinson will give, would accept il5.000 (about $66,000). Even this sum is greatly beyond the cash at Mr. Dickinson’s disposal. Therefore, unless the captors of the missionary further abate their demands there is no hope of an immediate settlement. An agent who is in touch with the brigand reports that they recognize they made a mistake in kidnaping Mitt Stone, would, however, consider it worse than a blunder to release her without an adequate ransom. There is no longer any fear regarding the brigands' intention toward the captives. They declare themselves to be not robbers, but patriots performing an obnoxious task in the interest of a “holy cause.” Most of the kidnappers are peasants, directed by a secret committee to execute its decisions, so as to get the money for the Macedonian cause.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS. Ccsslos of Daalsh 1 steads. The negotiations between the United States and Danish Govenmentt relative to the cession to the former of the Danish West Indies have been transferred to Washington.

States.

The transfer to Washington was brought about through the desire of the Danish Government to place its interests in the matter in the hands of Mr. Constantin Brun, Danish Minister here. He spent some time at Copenhagen last summer and returned to Washington recently, prepared to carry forward t' '

Eat Mare Than They Grow. Considerable time at the Cabinet meeting Friday was devoted to consideration of the agricultural situation in the

Philippines.

Reports received by the War Department indicate vegetables grown there are "running out” and there is immediate necessity for a general distribution of seed. SecreUry Root told the Cabinet that not enough rice, which is the great staple, is grown there to meet local con-

sumption.

Secretary Wilson will send one of the department’s experts with assistants^ tp the islands to investigate the situation. It is expected that many things not heretofore grown there can be produced. The seed will be distributed gratis. It is understood thM the President, in his message, will make no direct recommendation on the subject of taxation. The situation will be laid before Congress and its attention called to the rec- ’ itions of Secretary Gage.
