ter-A Telegram.

Dispatches from Toledo, Ohio, yesterday
announced the belief that two Americans,
Harry Iolerton and Prof. Holmes, the
former OF Toledo and tn latter from VI cad
Vile College, Pennsylvania, and now tour
lists in Switzerland, had been captured
5y bandits and held for ransom. Harry
TolertOn is the son OF E. w. Tolerton, d
prominent attorney of Toledo.
There was something alarming in the
circumstance that they had not been
heard from since September 6, at Mar
tigny, Switzerland whence they were to
set out in a few days, amply provided
with funds, for the University of Berlin.
at later dates requests are stated 20
have been received from Prof Holmes
FOR additional sums of money in dispatches
from Lucernei the money 10 be sent to
Cologne. This request, 1t is alleged, was
reported late in this month. The pa rents
have asked for an investigation, which
was ordered blythe State Department.
While this was in progress Mrs. b. W.
Tolerion came TO Washington ana is at the
Shoreham.
Mrs. Tolerton, the mother OF the missing
tourist, was seen yesterday afternoon
at the Shorehan Hotel, where she H. with
her daughter. Mrs. Tolerton's natural
anxiety has been much relieved b y the re-
ceipt of a telegram from her husband
at Toledo. Substantially, she said that
the telegram conveyed the information
that "IIarry was safe" and had resumed
his journey from Switzerland to Germany.
She put the State Department. in possession
OF these facts at once, SO that further
investigation might not be continued.
The State Department received later in
the day cablegram in the Tolerton
affair from the American minister, Leish-
man, at Lucerne, Switzerland. The min.
ister declares the story of the bauditti
to be false, and that Tolerton and Prof
Holmes had been identified by Miss MAY
Bester, cousin of Tolerton, who went
over at the request of Tolerton's father

charge of the case, and the swiss police
had been notified to cooperate with him.
