ARRIVAL OF SECRETARY BLAINE.

New York, May 24-Almost simulta-
neous with the departure Of Senator
Conkllng for Albany to-day, Secretary
Blame arrived in this city. Conkling
with party of his friends left at 1890,
and Platt and several leaders of the Til
den democracy started ut six p. m. The
arrival of Blaine brought out a story
that he was here to direct the admins
tration forces in the battle at Albany;
that he intended to remain here and with
in easy communication unless pressing
exigency arose, when he would go to Al
bany and enter the lists in person. He
refused to see any politicians, however,
and said about the story that it was too
ridiculous for denial. He is here on pri-
vate business.
Senators David Davis, Burnside and
Anthony also came, but they are on their
way to New England, and had nothing
10 say on the subject Of the resignation.
M. Conkling, when on the train, told
friend that he was not in the habit Of
being defeated, and having intended te
fight he was determined to win.

Monthly Review of Foreign Missions,

Recent letters from the Choctaw country bring
the sad intelligence that the house of Mr.. C. j.
stewart, one of our native preachers. was de-
stroyed by hre the early part of March, and that
an ADOPTED son was consumed in the flames
Mr. Stewart had recently returned from tour
among the Caddoes and other wild tribes in the
north western part Of the territory, and was ex
pecting to return to labor among them as a ner
manent missionary. The friends of Rev. Allen
Wright will be sorry to know that he had been
disabled from active labor for nearly two months
from severe carbuncle, but glad to know on
the other hand that he was recovering from the
effects of it.
From Greece our letters are dated to the 10Th
OF March, at which time the members of the
mission were all well, but were awaiting. with
some degree of anxiety, the deliberations going
on In Constantinople. Mr.. Simpsons letter Of
tne me, above date, published in our present issue,

probable issue of the impending crisis.

we have letters from Brazil as late as 18th of

good health. The opinion is expressed that
their mission work was never more encouraging
