Is HENRY DoNNELL ALIVE? ays
Reasons for Thinking the missing
Monmouth Tan Not Dead.

BOSTON, May 23.-Despite the efforts OF
the police department the whereabouts Of
Henry M. Donnell, the missing merchant
from Monmouth, Me-, is still q mystery. Bis
every movement while in this vicinity, be-
fore April 81, the last day on which he was
seen here, has been followed up by Inspec-
tor McCausland of police headquarters. The
result sheds no light on his subsequent fate.
Several circumstances have been brought to
light that point to a different theory than
that of foul play. One of the most signif-
cant facts discovered was the unnecessary
low price at which he sold all his hay. After
figuring out the cost of freight and carting
the whole lot averaged net price of about
Sc ton. Hay sells in this locality at from
$40 to SIS ton during the present season,
and it said that hay of the same quality
would find a ready market in Maine at a
much higher price than DOnnell was content
with. One of the carloads sold in Salem
went to Dodge 81 Scott, who say they made
him but one offer for the hay, and it was at
once accepted. Donnell refused to accept
payment by a check, but demanded bills or
nothing, and bills he got. THE conclusion
Is almost forced" SAYS Inspector McCau1
and will turn up when he gets ready. He
may be searching for Simpson, the man who
got away with the proceeds Of the first sale
of hay, but Simpson has revealed himself
by appealing from townsin Michigan for
money with which to get home. With $1,000
man like Donnell could stay away good
while longer without much trouble"

was first proposed to row the race on Satur.
day, and, in fact, it was Sc agreed, but the
Crescents found that there were so many OF
their men going to the Passaic regatta in
New York and to the races at Lawrence on
that day that they decided to row on Thurs
day instead. The distance will be about Il
miles. The starting point will be at the
Bro0kline bridge, above the Crescent B oat
Club house, and the crews will row down the
river, finishing at the Union Boat Club.
prizes for this race. The Bowdoin boys IS are ire
just "gamey" enough to come all the way
from Maine and row a hard race just for
glory: Few crews would do this, and the
Bowdoin alumni In this city and vicinity, it
would seem, ought to feel proud of the
plucky lads who represent their alma ma
ter. such an undertaking as this, simply for
glory" is new hereabouts, and, to tell Sc
cret. President Fox would not have agreed
to race Bowdoin but for his appreciation of
the Bowdoin pluck. Although mis- men will
do the best they. can, they do not look for
victory. In fact, they half admit that Bow
doin will win, but they say that they will
make hard race.
This will not be the only race the Bow
d0ins will have while in Boston. On Friday
afternoon about o'clock they will race the
Harvard Varsity eight for one and seven
eighths miles on the river for "glory" and to
tind out just how good they are. This shows
how plucAy the Bowd0in boys are. They
need the support of the alumni, and they
come here and row for all that there Is in
them, to show them that they are deserving
of support. Such heroic work Ito use a
strong term perhaps has heretofore been
unknown in boating circles. Crews, as a
general thing, have not made matches unless
they thought that they were almost dead
sure to win, and they always want prizes.
Not so with the Boweoin boys. They are
willing to take chances for nothing"
Ana just here let the Herald tell why they
are so anxious for victory. They want to go
to New London this year and row Columbia,
who have challenged them, and also the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. If they could win
race or two here and secure SUBSCRIPTIONS
from the alumni, they could go to New Lon
don and not only rowlthe colleges mentioned
but they could challenge Cornell ana possibly
wipe out old scores.

A STORY FOOLISH AND CRUEL.
MRS. sIaIne's Denial of a Report
Concerning Her Husband,

NEW YORK, May 23.-The Press prints
the following:
A dispatch from Washington, published
Yesterday. purporting to give "the plain
truth about Secretary Blaine's condition."
described him as a confirmed invalid. and
stated that his friends feared collapse of
his mental faculties. 1t was also insinuated
that Mr.. Blaine,s memary had been giving
way for some time; that he was unable to
reason consecutively for more than fifteen or
twenty minutes, and that his family ard
friends look for the end soon. These state
ments were carefully investigated by a re-
porter OF the Press
Walter Damroch's house to be almost con
valescent. He hoped to have driven in the
Park yesterday. His condition, however, did
not permit this. Mrs. Blaine and Mrs. Dam
rochs were out most of the afternoon, which
would indicate that Mr.. Blaine's condition
is not alarming. On her return Mrs. Blaine
was seen by the reporter. She had not read
the dispatch In question. but Its drift was
told to her. Mrs. Blaine said, laughingly:
"Mr. Blaine need not think coDsecutively
for fifteen minutes unless he is compelled to-
Mr.. Blaine is almost well and he needs is
rest He has been up today"
"But, Mrs. Blaine, as the article Is writ
ten with professed knowledge, might ask
you, # you deem it proper, to bring It under
II will not do that. / do not wish to give
Mr.. Blaine more trouble and annoyance than
is absolutely necessary. 1t would only dis
turb him, and, besides, what do we care for
what the newspaper that has published this
says?"
Mrs. Blaine continued: "The report does
not call for further contradiction by the
doctor. 1t is simply absurd. Mr.. Blaine
only this morning dictated to me lengthy
document to the State Department on official
matters, and nota word OF it had to be alter
ed"
"Then, Mrs. Blaine. can 1 deny the truth
of this repoTt?"
''It is a lie with circumstance, which, l
think, is the worst lie Of all" said Mrs.
Blaine. "The fact is, Mr.. Blaine is nervous
over his illness. have been through the
same thing with him dozen times, and he
is precisely the same as he was at 81"
The last question asked Mrs. Blaine was
whether, when the Secretary of State was
quite we'll, he would 60 to Bar Harbor, to
his home or to Washington. Mrs. Blaine re.
piled that the Secretary of State might
change his mind at any time as to his move
ments.

CITY OF MEXICO, May 24.-Advices from
Central America say that on Wednesday last
steamer resembling the ltata was seen by a
coasting schooder. The schooner attempted
to approch the steamer, but the latter, which
was running south, sheered off from her
course. This was about 80 miles off shore.
Reports published in the United States that
the insurgent warship Esmeralda was short
OF funds are denied by her captain, who
showed newspaper correspondent letters
$50,000. The Mexican government states
that no reinf0rcements were sent to Acapul-
co, as the garrison there is sufficiently strong
to prevent the Esmeralda from landing or
taking coal forclbly. The government has
no fear that the Esmeralda will attempt such
a feat.
