Mrs Denstadt has applied to the po-
lice. and in other ways sought to get
Information regarding her sons where
,houts. but so far her search has been
unayailing. Sometimes circumstances
have seemed to indicate that he had
zone to some far away land to get
away from a woman he did not like.
Al other times 1t has been suggested
TO the anxious mother that her son
met with foul play, for he had $500
on his person when he left home for
the worlds fair, August 0, 1893. And
again there have come rumors that
the young man became insane and was
placed in an asylum. But during the
three years that have elapsed since
August Denstadt left home no tang
ible clue as to what became of him has
been obtained by his mother or others.
Mrs. Denstadt recently learned
through some of her relatives that a
farmer friend Of theirs saw. man In
Chicago during the worlds fair who
bore a striking resemblance at least
to Mrs. Denstadt's son. This farmer
claims that the young man was in a
street car in charge of two uniformed
men. He was importuning the other
passengers to interfere i'm his behalf
and prevent the officers from taking
him to an insane asylum. Mrs. Dem
stadt has requested her relative TO
write to this farmer and. II possible,
obtain more definite information upon
the subject that fills her thoughts by
day and keeps her awake through the
first hours of the night. The SUPPOSE
ton that young Denstadt is in an in
sane asylum is strengthened by the
fact that when he was IL years old
his mother had him confined for a
brief time because of a temporary men,
tai disturbance. In an interview with
a reporter a few days ago Mrs. Den
stadt gave the following story of the
mysterious case:
MY only son, August, left home for
the worlds fair August 3. 1893. lie
went with tailor by the name OF Ka-
rapkot, who has a shop on Butternut
street, near Seventh street. August
had $500 on his person. Before leav-
ing he told me he would write TO Ka-
rapkot who was TO return to Detroit
In week, and that should go to the
tailor for intelligence of his doings
away from home. In three days, now
ever, Karapkot returned and told me
that my son had gone to California. He
said that he had left August with a
woman named Bernhardt. who had
tried to get my consent to marry my
boy few months before This wom-
an came back to Detroit about the
same time, but did not talk with her.
During 1898 Karapkot said he re-
celyed three letters from my son, from
Ban Francisco and Los Angeles. Cal.
out he would not allow me to read the
letters and only informed me that my
son was well. August wrote in Latin.
he could not write German, and that
was the reason he wrote to the tailor
instead OF to me direct. Further than

The sweetest flower silks that fairly
send out fragrance from the buds are
sold this year for ball gowns. The
silk is a taffeta, and the roses stand
out in satin. Old-fashioned. you say.
but pretty, you are bound to declare.
One of these dresses depends entirely
upon lace and pink taffeta ribbon for
its sleeves. The ribbon winds in and
out of the lace irregularly and is
brought out and tied In knots and
bows at intervals. The color OF the
ribbon sets off the lace admirably. Ths

question mas been pre-eminent in public at
tention during the past week. and the press
opinions from Austria and Italy have been
ciosely watched. Germany's action in the
matter is mlsconstrued in Great Britain and
austria according to the German newspa-
pers. They declare that Germany was solely
mnuenced out OF concern for Italy and add
that the Austrian statesmen apparently con-
strued her aid as an important precedent
as ltalys African reverse is constituted a
causus feoderis," as defined in the terms
OF the driebund. Consequently Germany is
held to similarly aid Austria in her Oriental
policy. This view of the case is repudiated
Dy the German government and a German
statesman who is thoroughly qualified to
express an opinion on the subject said:
Germany's policy is not changed in the
least. In spite of recent events our rela-
tions with England remain the same. Ger
many distrusts England and her ambitious
posal to send an expedition to Dongola in
no way engages us in the future. Russia
fully understands this, though our friend
ship for Italy obliges us now to take con-
trary views to Russia and France. More
over, we could not engage to aid Austria in
any ambitious move in the Orient.
A significant sign of the times Is that
English ports, and Emperor William 1t is
now said, has determined not to visit Eng
land this year. On the other hand the
friendship between Russia and Germany is
not impaired, as shown by the fact that
the czar will visit Berlin Immediately after
the coronation ceremonies at Moscow. They

AUSTIN WILEY DEAD.
Accomplished Much in the Work OF
AbOlfshing Slavery.

Special to the Globe.
NORTHFIELD, MINI. March 2S.-Rev. Aus
tin Wiley, the well-known author Of the
history of the anti-savery cause In Maine
and the nation. died In Northield today. He
was born in Campton, N. H.. June "a, 1906,
where he lived until young man. He was
educated in theological seminary at Ban
gcr. After refusing call to the ministry, he
turned his abilities to fighting the slavery
evil. He became the editor of the Advocate
Of Freedom. and for the next twenty years
spared neither pen nor voice in his devotion
TO the anti-slavery and temperance cause
He was stricken with nervous prostration in
1s56, and came to Minnesota for his health.
Most of the time since then he has spent
In editorial and ministerial work In this state
He has contributed to different Journals
Throughout the state, especially to the. st.
Poul papers and those in Northfeld, though
he has never in the last forty years taken
the active and influential part he did In the
war on slavery. He was then companion of
]. p. Hale, colleague of Charles Sumner.
No man was much feared by pro- o-siavery
people or much loved by friends of the
blacks. In Northfleld he has become en-
deared to the community during his residence
with his daughter, Mrs. NJ. w. Skinner and
the familiar bent form will be equally missed
with the words of cheer he had for all.

POLITICS ASA DUTY.
A brilliant Address Delivered by
Postmaster General Wilson.


MIDDLETOWN, Conn.,, March .2S.-Post-
college tonight on Politics as a Duty be-
fore large audience The postmaster gen.
eral was received with an ovation. Poll
tics,'' he said, lin its long Journey to the
government on this continental republic, has
taken SO many. changes it is necessary to
define it. Politics is intelligent citizen
ship. The great danger today is that gov
ernment is easy. Reason and history warn
that this is a mistake. Hitherto no free
republic has lived long. America Is the
first example because no other nation has
had such an Inheritance. Today we en-
counter greater dangers than slavery or state
call for as much hereism as was displayed
by our forefathers on the battlefield. Our
present system Of finance is patchwork.
This question must be solved by laws of
equal justice or we shall lose credit and be
punished for the violation Of national rights.
Two classes are called to take action, the
educated man and the business man. We
must work out system of taxation that will
be just to all. Our danger in time of de-
preston lies in following. qhack politicians
instead Of men with sound Judgment. Col
lege men, educated men and business men
must come to the front. They cannot af-
ford to stand idly by"

AFRICAN SITUATION.
Dispatches Indicate That the Trou-
BILE at BuIuwayo Is Serious.


CAPE TOWN, March 2S.-Dispatches re-
ceived here from Buluwayo announce that
Frederick c. Selous the explorer, who left
that town yesterday at the head Of strong
attachment Of volunteers and police, has met
and engaged the enemy, killing a large num-
Der. Five troopers were killed. The prompt
action of the authorities has had a good
effect upon the rebellious Matabeles. Many
f1endish murders have been reported, and
the settlers terror-stricken. In nearly
all cases they have abandoned their homes
and are encamped awaiting to be rescued
by the mounted police and volunteers. 9th
ers have placed their houses in a state of de-
fense, and have determined to fight 1t out
until assistance reaches them.
The gravity of the situation has not been
exaggerated, although It is still hoped that
the promptness OF the authorities in COM
mencing operations against the MatabeIes
may result In checking the spread of the
rebellion. Fears are entertained for the
safety of party of 1000 settlers. mainly
women and children, who are in the Lager,
in the vicinity of which strong force of
Matabeles has been reported. The settlers
have only sufficient provisions for a short
time. Capt. Spreckley, on Thursday it is
announced met and repulsed a strong body
of Matabeles and inflicted great loss upon
them. Spreckley's troopers escaped with
only a few men wounded.
One of the gravest features of the uprising
is that it is now admitted that the native
police have been induced not only to take
part in the rebellion, but to induce the

Wages to Be Paid i'm Cash.
BAY CITY, Mich, March 2s.-The announce
ment that the shipbuilding firm Of w. w.
Heeler & Co. were going to adopt the check
system Of paying their employees has brought
about a serious lockout Of some ], 400 men.
This morning all the fitting and rivetng
gangs refused to go to work, and also induced
many Of the laborers and some of the machine
men to quit. A meeting of the union men was
held and they voted not to accept the checks.
About the same time the company directed
the men remaining in the yard to stop work,
and notices were posted that there would be
no further work until further notice. The
men had several secret meetings during the
day and resolved not to return until the COM
pany agreed to pay in cash. The firm de-
clines a conference and the majority of the
men accepted checks for their pay. Some re-
ceived cash and 200 others decided that they
would accept nothing but cash. The mer-
chants made arrangements to cash the checks,
and some of the men thereupon alleged that
the merchants were in league with the bosses
and boycott was declared upon them. The
firm gave as their reason for adopting the
system the inconvenience and danger Of trans
porting 10000 every pay day.

NEW YORK, March 2s.-The New York FL
nancier says: The statement OF the associated
banks Of New York city for the week is in
marked contrast with those made since the
award of government bonds, the loan item
decreasing for the first time in seven weeks.
Loans, however, are still nearly twenty mill
ions in excess Of the low record of Feb. s last.
It is somewhat difficult TO trace the cause of
the falling off last week. except on the theory
that stock exchange business was exception
ally dull, and that some Of the banks whose
reserves have fallen too low are calling in
their loans.
The April settlement. beginning now, will
probably withdraw from the market large
