Martnus Sieveking, the renowned
Dutch pianist, appeared in a recital at
the Church of our Father last night
and aroused the greatest enthusiasm
among an audience of less than 300 per-
sons. The attendance at last nights
recital was another evidence Of the
fact that Detroit can claim but few
genuine music lovers. Sieveklng was
well advertised, and hundreds of peo-

to hear him in recital work. But in

Potent Public Opinion.


But for two reasons it is better to look
upon this as a struggle for more work
rather than for higher wages. First, 1t
would lessen immensely the opposition
cf unthinking public opinion, since nc
one finds fault with wish TO set work.
The only difficulty would then be to
convince that work WAS really scarce.
Second. If a strong public opinion is
created against ;ll methods which de-
priye human beings of wc=S, THAT CT
itself would set ill train co,sditic:3s trotS
which higher wages or their ecuiva-
lent would follow naturally and With
out injustice to any one.
Such point Of view woulG reveal
readily that if it is right fer vast
money power to get control of ths
worlds work solely for its own agSran-
dizement nothing can be said against
unions doing the same in a small way III
self defense and for the benefit Of q:
least part Of humanity.
When public opinion can be made to
take this attitude, its criticisms will be
turned in the right direction, and the
problem will then begin to settle itself
logically-that is. in this great subject
the responsibility for present conditions
and the power to control them rests with
the five factors in the following ordet:
Vast and unprincipled money power,
public opinion, capital, unions and the
nonunion workingman. If due attention
is given to criticising the first two,
there will be lett little time or need -
nriticise the other thren.

A Party of Young CalIfOrnians Led Into n
PIratical Expedition.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26.-A story
comes from Honolulu that has caused
much anxiety among the friends of the
16 young men who recently sailed from
this port on the steamer Sophia
Sutherland in search of treasure on
the Solomon islands.
The trading master of the little
craft, now presumably cruising in the
south seas, is Capt. Sorrenson. who,
according to ex-Consul Churchill, of
Apia, has a black record as pirate
and despoiler of the natives in the
islands of the central Pacific.
When the Sophia Sutherland reached
Apia she was subjected to a searching
inquiry, during which Sorrensen was
identified as the man who had led a
similar treasure-seeking expedition
from Melbourne on the schooner AL
bert which he soon transformed into
a regular pirate.
In 1884 he was captured by the Brit
ish man-of-war Dart and sent to prison
for ten years. Since then he had not
been heard from, but now he is in vir-
tual command of a company of Cali
fornians, who put faith in his stories
of the fabulous wealth of the Solomon
islands.

CUBAN AUTONOMY

Spanish Provinces Asking that the Scheme
be Suspended-The Clause Relating to

Mixed Commission of Cubans and Span
iards-Other Measures.
MADRID, Nov. 26.-The clause in re-
lation to the tariffs in the govern
ment's proposed scheme of autonomy
for Cuba provides for the creation of q
mixed commission, to be composed of
Cubans and Spaniards, which is to fix
the tariffs. The rates fixed by the
commission are to be adopted by the
Cuban chamber of deputies and then
approved by the cortes before they be-
come effective. Should the mixed
commission come to a deadlock the
cortes is to be arbiter of the question
at issue.
Prime Minister Sagasta has received
over 100 dispatches from persons and
organizations in Catalonia, Biscay
and other provinces, asking that
the autonomy scheme be suspended.
A member of the cabinet said yester-
day, however, that the opposition to
the scheme must soon cease. Ma
turally," he added. the proposed re-
forms were opposed by a number of
persons who by the past system had
amassed great riches. but the govern
ment was determine to carry out what
it considered a patriotic work and its
decisions must be respected"
It is expected that the ministry of
the colonies will be abolished after
the application of the reforms and
that colonial affairs will be conducted
by the prime minister.
