For Some time his whereabouts remained unknown, lis trlendsscouting the idea of suicide, but he wad in Cincinnati, where he got work and made application for admission into the ‘Typographical Union; but his answers to certain questions led to the belief, as was the case, that he had been a member Of a union before.” This fact being ascertained, he sent for his card, which was forwarded to him. During his absence his wife has been eking out a scanty living for herself and two children by teaching, Nicholson having expressed no desire or intention of having them with him, although by his skill as a printer he has been earning good wages. ‘This whole matter has been very much fresh- ened in the minds of many by the equally myste- ol rious disappearance of Nicholson's oldest daughter, Martha, which occurred Sunday afternoon, and up tothe present no traces of her have been foun Sunday afternoon Mrs. Nicholson picked up one Of the little girl’s school books, in Which was written some very obscene language.

During the progress of the negotiations Austria declared that she did not atm at. the possession of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but desired to maintain the supremacy of Turkey there. In the event of being impossible, she would not allow any power to interfere, but would herself occupy the provinces. ‘The result was an agreement with Russia, which was afterward communicated to Germuny a8 a friendly power. In the agreement no inention was made of a partition of Turkey be- tween Austria and Russia. It was not intended to form the basis of mutual action. ‘The peace of San Stefano did not fulfill the agreement, and Austria, therefore, protested against {t, and the Berlin Congress was summoned. ‘The altered conditions of peace give Austria a mandate of occupation.
