ga BLIND MANS EXPERlENCE.N
Lecture bx tho Rev. W.. H. Nrilburn.


The Rev. W. II. Milburn, better known as the
"Blind Preacher last night delivered lecture at
Stenway Hall on "a Blind Mans Experience IN
search OF Sight" The hall was well filed ana the
greatest interest manifested in the gentle
mans recital OF his experience. Governor

lecturer with O short speech lie said that some
persons might be surprised that he should occupy
the chair at lecture supposIng that the Governor
had much more important business to attend to.
When asked TO preside at the lecture by Mr. Milburn
he determined to do SO, influenced particularly by
tho lamcntabe afilcton under which the gentleman
was suffering. He would introduce to the audience
the Rev. w. II. MIlburn, the "Blind Preacher"
Mr.. MILBURN then rose and recited his experiences
during . tour In Europe whittier he had gone to
have operations performed on his eyes. but which,
unfortunately had been frultess so far as recover
ing his eyesiRht was concerned. Among the gentle
mans "reminiscences he dweit OF considerable length
upon his stay In Prussia, giving very Interesting
description OF the style OF life existing and
the kind OF atmosphere breathed In that
country. The gentleman spoke OF the court customs,
works he asserted were not generally know IN Eng
land, and related an anecdOte OF q lady who said
that America was beginning to have q literature,
ba5ing that opinion upon the TACT that she had been
reading "Unole Toms Cabin.n The lecturer
spoke Of the celebrated DR.. Draper and gave
showing how extensive was his practice. Mr.. Mil.
burn then explained an operation which GraeGer OF
Berlin, had performed upon his eyes, and explained
In very powerful language the sensation which
passed through his mind, when, after while, ne
was able to see candle, and also referred IN a
thrilling manner To the despair which he realized
when owing to q constitutional weakness, the opera.
ton subsequently proved TO DO OF no avail.

Revelations In tho Navy-Its Emcicucy-
What Admiral Porter Has Done-l.ist al
Vessels Altered-An Immense Saving Of Xxx.
pcnse Accomplished.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 80, 1890.
There is no question that tho most complete revo-
luton that has ever characterized any branch OF the
public service 10 that accomplished By Admiral
Porter In his reorganization OF the navy. After
about eight months OF severe labor he has so per-
fecty reconstructed the entire machinery and char
acter or the navy that 1t never was Ia o moro
emcient condition, and ct the same time an
Immense saving In keeping up the establish
ment has been made. Every vessel In the
navy Is now full rugged ship. This item alone
VIII bring about great reduction In the expense OF
keeping ship anoat. For instance, tho smallest
vessel IN the service consumed twenty tons OF coal
per day. The price paid for coal In foreign ports
tweny-lour dollars per ton, expense OF $3.50 per
day. $4,000 per month"; and SlT2 500 per year In the
bare item Of coal. Under the new system every
class Of vessel has full sail power. which will enable
them to cruise at little expense and their steam
power only to be used on extraordinary occasions.
This Important change has been accomplished at an
expenditure OF two millions less than the estimates
Of Mr.. Wells, and Will, with the navy at It's present
ngure result In a saving OF S500o.O00 per annum.
This change has also brought about q material re-
ducton OF engineers and nremen.
Many other improvements have also been made.
regular torpedo system has been organized aud
new and formidable boats have been constructed
capable OF firing torpedoes under water al the rate
OF one every thirty seconds.
The Admiral has been industriously at work In
these changes, and all of the draughts OF the pro-
posed remodeling OF vessels he either drew himself
or personally superintended them. l subjoin list OF

PARIS Nov. @ 1859.
The question OF the position which the Emperor
Napoleon may assume towards the surrounding
Powers on the occasion OF the reassembllng OF the
French Legislature is canvassed actively on every
side and with anxiety
1t is rumored in political circles to-day that the
Emperor, IN his speech from the throne opening the
session OF the Chambers Will propose or recommend
general European disarmament The subject was
discussed during the recent visit OF Lord Clarendon
to the Tuileres and Is alleged that the plan meets
the present views OF England, ana will accord with
her future policy as intended to be shaped by the
Gladstone Cabinet.
General Feury's mission to tho Court OF ST. Peters
burg has for its chief objective point the obtanment
OF the consent OF Russia to the proposal, matter
which 1t Is thought Will be Of very easy accomplish
ment just now as the Gar Is maintaining huge
army on war footing unnecessarily and at heavy
cost to his subjects.
Should the agreement to disarm thus become
almost universal the French people and Emperor,
supported by the great Powers will call on Prussia
to disarm Also and 1t Is thought that serious inter-
national complications will be the result in view Of
the consideration generally accepted that the ulte
