Clarkson on the Republican Party.

BOSTON, May 23.-Prominent gentlemen from
all parts of the state were present in large
numbers this afternoon to meet First Assistant
Postmaster General Clarkson who was the
guest Of the Norfolk club. Several speeches
were made. among them one by Mr.. Clarkson.
who spoke entertainingly upon the southern
question, civil service reform and tariff The
speaker referring to the south. SAID the nation
is now face to face with the duty whether
in its sovereign power it shall allow
Georgia, South Carolina, or any state to
prevent American citizens from exercising their
constitutional right to vote.
On tie tariff and the west, the speaker said
the claim that the northwest is for free trade
is not true. In the last Republican national
| convention the east said the west must stand a
stronger protection plank. The west accepted
it, and the best protectionist in the United
StrteS is the western farmer. Free trade has
sought ambitiously to set up it's empire in the
northwest, but it will fail. "As western man
resent the pity bestowed upon the
western farmer. He is passing through
temporary depression and he will
come out of it by his strength and wisdom We
have spoken of the past, let us turn to the f,l-
ture believe it is Republican. but the party
of to-day is rallying on faith rather than works
The opposition takes on new form and power,
and it is ceaseless in its activity. Republicans
everywhere should unite in extending the circu-
lat1on of Republican papers. This may be trea-
son to the independent press, but il is LOYALTY to
the Republican party, and that means, | be-
lieve, loyalty to the republic itself"

A PARTISAN FASCINATO2.
An Interesting Exhibition of the Powers of
Mesmerism at ChickerIng Hall.

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch. !
NEW YORK, May 23.-At Chickering hall last
night Donatee, the Partisan experiment faci-
nator, made his first appearance, before an
American audience. Donatee is the French
man who says his ideas are far ahead of the
ordinary mind readers and professors of
hypnotism and mesmerism His exhibition
was seance for the benefit of newspaper men,
HIS experiments were confined to a dozen thin
faced young men picked out of the collection of
SUBJECTS, the best for the professor The SUBJ
]ect was led out on the stage and made to face
ABOUT a thousand people. Then the professor
requested him to lznee andturn in his toes
The next subject clinched his fists and
heid them up in semi-pugnacious at
t1tude. While the first Subject was
shamefacedly kneeling the professor
would bounce at him and stand tbreateT,inelv
over him. That lasted for only a few seconds
Next the professor picked suddenly at the vic

he was thus uncomfortably situated the inter-
prefer at signal from Donatee would shout
Tor his victim to rise. OF course he could not do
this comfortably. The more difficult he found
IL TO get up, the better suited he was for n sub
Ject. The professor made his good subjects eat
potatoes, dance cough and do the other thinGs
that mesmerlsts have done before and the shoy
closed with an exhibition of mind reading nv

QUEENSTOWN, May 23-When the Majestic
was hundred miles east of Sandy Hook on her
last trip the passengers We're much astonished
to see Fritz Emmett promenading the hurricane
deck singing his Lullaby blithely, as though
treading the boards of the threatre. His name
was not on the passenger list He had rushed
aboard only few minutes before the vessel
sailed. During the passage Emmett was as
clipper as 8 cricket. Just as the tender was
leaving the ship at Queenstown in the morning
Emmet suddenly appeared on deck and said /:
HOLD On. I'm going aShore'' An hour later
and he walked into the bar of the Queens hotel
and asked where's Tottie?" He was mrch
surprised to learn that she is married and gone
to America. e0--o
For twenty-four hours Emmett painted
queenstown red. He EXCHANGED American dol
lars for 9 notes and distributed them layishl,-

Mary Murphy who claimed t. have known him
twenty years ago. He gave Ter one of the flyers

stantly in communication with friends here

spoken with men whom 1 know TO have the
secretary of states confidence Not one of
them would consent to the publication of his
name because, as each one said, he did not care
to assume the responsibility of speaking for
Mr. Blaine In print but each man talked freely
and allowed me to draw conclusions.
Mr.. Blaine put the presidency behind him
once for all in the spring of 1855 He meant
what ne said In his Florence letter. Although
mad the Chicago convention persisted
IN i. forcing upon him the nominal
ton he would have accepted with reluctance.

LOWING his friends to scheme for him Blaine
would not remain n the cabinet q moment. 1t
IS the opinion here that when holding a seat in
Gartelds cabinet Mr.. Blaine had an eve on the
presidency, but he was looking for eight wears
ahead. In 1883 man at Mr.. BlaneSs time OF
life would not be planning for 1896 .sAs for
1872 said his friend mo man of sound sense
would set himself up as q rival of the President
while holding an office under him, and no one
ever dccuSeu MT. blalne OF that kind OF treach-
cry 1t is too late in life for him 10 start up any
new political quarrel within the party He has
seen enough of faction fights and wants no
more'f
Blaine has satisfied his friends that he wishes
TO pass his days, politically and socially, as
calmly and peacefully as possible. The deaths
IN MS family have stirred him in a spirit to for
give and forget. Blaine has repeatedly said in
private that he has been near enough to the
office to learn its cares and responsibilities. its
wearing hard work. its day and night worry and
the little things one gets in place. The rev.
Citations were sufficient to dampen his ardor
Tor the presidential nomination. So Blaine
may therefore be given up as q candidate for
the presidency. They say 1t is very likely that
IN lSS2 Blaine's following will go to Harrison.

A Chat With Captain zalinski.

Especial TO THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch
SOUTHAMPTON, May 23-[By cable to the N,
Y. World. The only way to get chat, to say
nothing of an interview, with Captain Zalinski.
was to jump into the railway compartment with
him in the train at Waterloo station and ride to
southampton. Captain Zalinski sails to-day on
the new Hamburg liner the Normandie unless
she meets with a miShap. He expects to obey
the order OF the war department and report
himself TO the acknowledgement at Washington
on the morning of June 1.
Captain Zallnski was sent abroad by the
government on rowing commission through
the countries OF Europe to keep his eyes wide
open and see how they are preparing for
war. Though not diSinclined to talk about his
trip, Zalinski naturally could not disclose what
ne mas learned new about ordnance, prOiectiles
long range guns, and other preparations for the
great European war, which all believe is bound
10 come within five years at most In every
European country which he visited. England
France, Germany, Russia and Italy, to say
nothing OF the smaller nations like
Norway, Sweden, Denmark Holland Belgium
and Spain, Captain Zalinski found them STRAIN
ing every nerve making preparations for war
In most OF the countries he visited he was
Afforded every opportunity, though F'ronce and
one or TWO powers seemed disposed to screen
all their preparations with the strictest Sc
crecy.
Captain Zalinsli does not think the next
European war will be initiated by trouble be-
tween France and GERMANY. 1t is far mora
likely that the trouble will begin in trouble be-
tween Germany and Russia. Everything seems
TO tend IN that direction. But Russia is not
prepared for war, yet ZalinSki would not dwell
long on this point, but he did so far as to say
that she has made no provision at all for small
ornaments. Germany, he thinks. is at present
the best equipped nation for a European war.
Everywhere he went he found the opinion
prevailing that the United States stood aloof
from all possible complications of q European
war. BY simply saying that he was far from
America, Captain ZalinSki was allowed oppor-
tunlties for investigation which no agent on a
similar mission from this side of the Atlantic
could have enjoyed.
