The Blatne-Rudini Correspondence.

New YORK, April ia Washington
special to the Commercial Advertiser says
''There is possibility the correspondence
between Blaine and Rudini will be given
out this evening or tomorrow morning. It
depends upon the decision OF the President
The situation is not improved as regards
the relations between the United States
and Italy, and whether it occurs now or
later on, the recall of Porter and the com
piete rupture of diplomatic relations is
likely. Failing to get satisfaction Italy
will have to make some demonstrate of
dlspleasure. What she already has done
might be sufficient demonstration if made
after we failed to comply with
her demands, but her minister hav-
ing been recalled before the offense
she must seek some other expression of dis
pleasure after the offense to make COM
plete diplomatic rupture. This is the least
she can do, having already done so much,
and it is the most she can afford to do In
the face of the complication in European
affairs and the poverty OF her treasury

HYPNOTISM.
An eX-PrOfessional "Horse" Gives
'Prof." Kennedy Away.
Horse" is Nan Hired as Subject and
Is to Come on the Stage When Some one
from the Audience is Wanted.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, April 13.-"Prof" ]. E. Ken
nedy, of Jackson, Mich. gave last evening
at the Union Square theatre what he
termed another grand and startling exhi-
billion OF hypnotIsm, mesmerism or phsy-
chology." A young man came into the World
Office Saturday and said to the city editor:
II have Travelled as horse with Prof Ken
nedy seven years ago when he and his
brother Tom were doing this same mesmer-
Ism IN towns throughout the country. A
horse is person who is hired by the man
agement to come on the stage when mem
bers OF the audience are invited I'D to be
mesmerized. There used to be four of US
with Kennedy. Our instructions were to
keep by ourselves when we struck a town
Wnere we were to give au exhibition and to
say we had come there looking for work
We were never under any circumstances to
recognize Kennedy on the streets or on the
stage, and the minute the performance was
over we were to leave the theatre. When
persons from the audience would be in
V1ted to come on the stage there would
always be found a few innocent citizens
who would go up in good faith with us
horses. Kennedy would examine them at
the same time he did Us. The horses would
be told they were good subjects and the
others be rejected
The ex-"horse' was instructed by the
World to engage himself to Kennedy for last
nights performance. Kennedy EMPLOYED
him, giving him a reserved seat ticket of
admission to the theatre and 81 down, with
the promise of another dollar after the
performance was over. Kennedy came out
before the footlights at the Union SCARE
arrayed In evening dress. After brief
address he invited anyone in the audience
to come on the stage and experience his
hypnotism. Sixteen young men responded,
among them being the ex-"horse" and a
reporter for the World. The ex-''horse''
recognized several of the young men who
had come upon the stage with him as old
time professional horses" The sixteen
gentlemen from the audience took seats
on the stage and Kennedy told them to
close their eyes and go to sleep. Twelve
of the sixteen subjects were unable or pre-
tended to be unable to open their eyes till
Kennedy gave them permission. He rejected
four who opened their eyes and retained
the other twelve as good subjects. or these
twelve, one was the Worlds informant and
ex"horse" who had been employed by
Kennedy to come on the stage; five others
were wellknown "horses" who had been
seen with Kennedy before the show and
admitted coming from Michigan with him,
and two more had been seen to receive five
tickets from him before the show Ken
nedy then proceeded to show his power
over these gentlemen from the audience. ~
The ''horses" did all sorts of ridiculous
things under Kennedy's influence to the
Intense delight of the audience. Kennedy
used to draw big audiences at the Or
pheum San Francisco but it is doubtful
whether he will stay much longer in New
York

The Union Club Blackballs Austin oorbln.


Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch, !
New YORK, April 13-Austin Corbin.
president of the Long Island railroad. ex-
president of the Philadelphia & Reading
road, and known as one of the largest
owners Of the stock of the New Jersey
Central, was blackballed by the governors
of the Union club at the regular monthly
meeting held Wednesday. Mr. Corbin's
name was proposed for membership some
thing more than two years ago by James
K. q. Duer, banker, and was seconded by
j. Pierpont Morgan, and in other ways, it
is stated, his candidature was endorsed by
the strongest men in the club. The story
is that sixteen members of the committee
were present and when the count was made
six black balls were found.
The blackballing of Austin Corbin is re-
garded by great many men as an interest
ing development of the antagonism of GER
tain elements in the Union club towards
miilionaires and the club the millionaires
are organizing. The club men around town
who are building up regulations as humor-
lists declare the action of the Union club
governors in the case does not indicate any
feeling in the club against the projected
club enterprise Of the millionaires Ac-
cording to their theory it demonstrates only
mysterious and inexplicable antipathy
towards railroad presidents. They began
year or more ago with John King, presi-
dent of the Ohio railroad. Later on the
Union club committee came across the
name of DR.. Seward Webb, president of
the Wagner Car company. He, too. was
blackballed. Finally, Austin Corbin's
name appeared and the black balls were
turned on once more.

I" This Is Peculiarly Time When the Demo-
cratic Party should be Mindful of its
Relations to the Country"

New YORK, April 13.-The governors of
the Democratic club of this city gave a
dinner tonight in honor of Jefferson's
birthday Besides ex-President Cleveland
and Governor Abbott, of New Jersey,
many prominent local Democrats were
present Ex-President Cleveland was the
principal speaker. In course of his re-
marks, he said: "This is peculiarly time
when the Democratic party should be
mindful of its relations to the country, of
it's responsibilities as the guardian of
sacred principles, and of its duty to con-
tiding people. Blindness to danger and
neglect of party organization and discipline
are invitations to defeat. We shall court
disaster if we relax our industry. The in
telligence of our countrymen is creed
which we profess and we expect humiliat-
ing failure and disgrace when we encour-
age or tolerate those who, claiming fellow
ship with US, needlessly and from the wors
of motives, seek to stir up strife and sow
discord in the councils of our party"

tack is made on Henry M. Stanley. This
time it comes from Colonel George W.
Williams, author of Colonel Troops in
the Rebellion" and who has been for some
time in the employ of the Congo Free

represented the character of the
country. Instead of being fertile and
productive, it is sterile and unproductive
nor will this condition of affairs change
until the natives shall be taught by Euro

blows and the vigorous measures by which
they were mulcted of their lands.

No DEVELOPMENTS in Rome.

ROME, April 13.-Up to noon to-day it
has been impossible to learn anything fur
Their concerning the report that the Italian
cabinet had decided to request United
States Minister Porter to leave
Rome in case no reply to Pre-
mier Rudini's last note was received
from Secretary Blaine by tomorrow.
Officials are reticent and journalists

At the American legation nothing could be
learned. Minister Porter has heard moth

In well-informed circles the prevailing
opinion, as nearly as one can gather, is that
the premier will not proceed to extremities
at this juncture.
