Eaton of Vance came to Bessemer last night in search of his father, an aged man, who a week ago left Vance to visit points in Jefferson county, and who was expected to return home on Monday The father failing to. return, the son started in this direction to see where he had gone. Reaching 'Bessemer he called several per- sons in the Toadvine neighborhood who were acquainted with the elder man, and where he expected to go, but no one had seen him or knew a thing of his where abouts
 The son was much disturbed about the disappearance, as his father had on his person when he left home $1000, and the son was fearful that foul play caused his absence This morning MT. Eaton tele- graphed to another brother at Vance that Ire mad found no trace of the father, and he left for Birmingham in the hope that he could get some trace of him there. The elder man Is about 70 years of age, and as he formerly resided in the Toad vine neignborhood he is well known to all citizens of that section. There is consid- erable mystery surrounding the disap- pearance, and the fact that he carried
 l"rge sum of money causes the sons much concern.

He did not remember anything until coming down the steps in a large building in company with two men. One was tall and the other heavy set. They walked the railroad tracks some distance when the men asked him to take a horse from a mans barn. The man caught him before the bridle was put on the horse and accused him of stealing. He ran and escaped. He said he did not know where he was, but followed the railroad track until he arrived in Ironton. The boy had 5 cents when he arrived here.

DENNERLES, 2125 Fifth Avenue

picion is current that today's events and announcements were merely feints intended to lull all parties into tran quility. It Is believed that action against Yildiz Kiosk may perhaps be taken tonight"
 A special from Saloniki dated Fri day evening declares that after con- sultation of Schefket Pasha and the assembly with Mohammed- -Rechad Ef- fendi, heir apparent to the throne, it was decided to demand that the Sheilz LII Islam should issue a decree pro- claiming Mohammed-R -Rechad Effendi Sultan. The dispatch adds that an as sault on the Yildiz Kiosk was arranged to take place at midnight.
 These reports cannot of course be confirmed, and the only thing that comes with any distinctnes sis the fact that the Sultan, who has not reputa- ton for personal courage, faced his subjects at today's selamlik with calmness that betokened that continu- ation on the throne was still un- Shapen.

 The foregoing Is the comment of an Englishman who witnessed the selamlt tk ceremony and points in word to what appears to be the bewildering situa- ton. The history of the latest phase of the crisis is about as follows:
