Montpelier, VT, May Sd. Blackwell,
who mysteriously disappeared from the
Adams House, Boston, on the morning of
September .. 1856. returned to his home
in this city this morning.
A telegram was received from him by
his relatives Saturday. asking IL his wife
and children and aged mother were liv-
ing.
The telegram was sent from Burlington,
VT. The intelligence that the son, hus-
band and father. long mourned as dead,
was alive was broken to his family on
Sunday, and he arrived at his home at
o'clock this morning. The meeting can
better be imagined than described. The
story told by Mr.. Blackwell is that he
does not remember being in Boston, and
awoke conscious on a Panama steamer.

From present appearances 1t seems
probable that the opposition of Speaker
Reed to the consideration of the Hawaiian
resolution will be overcome. The country
thoroughly understands that he and the
sugar lobby alone stand in the way Of the
Government in preventing action COM
manded by the sternest military necessity.
An angry public feeling is growing every

New York, May N.-rhe Herald publish
es the following from it's Paris CORE
spondent:
Everything goes to indicate that Russia
is trying to edge into the Anglo-American
agreement.
Russian opinion is mostly concerned
with the war in its bearing upon affairs
in the Far East, and consequently the
Russian press is striving with might and
main to show the impossibility OF an An
glo-American alliance, which would be
calculated, most of all. to affect the Far
Eastern situation. Thus the Novoe
Vremya says in a recent editorial:
The United States has been drawn out
Of its completely isolated position by the
war with Spain, which In the end will
bring the great American Republic in
closer touch with Europe.
This does not imply that after the war
with Spain the United States will begin a
fresh war with another power. but will
proceed to give voice to all the matters OF
Old World policy in order to defend its
power in the New World and the inter-
e0ts of its trade and commerce. All Eu-
ropean powers having colonies In America
and first Of all England, with her Cana
dian possessions, will feel the effect of
this awakening to an active policy among
the ruling classes OF 75 ooo, 900 citizens of a
rich republic.
During recent years the United States
has been in open conflict with two Euro
pean states-with England over the Ven-
ezuelan boundary dispute. and with Ger
many over the tarin question. In the
German and English press voices were
raised calling the European powers to
combine and offer resistance to the United
States, because the latter was preparing
to ruin the Old World with its system of
protective duties.
Americans have also become interested
in the Far East but 1t will be some time
before the birth of an Angio-Saxon alli-
ance, by means of which the English
and afterward Germany out Of China.
The Americans will never consent to pull
the chestnuts out of the fire for England.
This much Is true, that an end will
come to the unconcerned attitude OF the
United States toward events outside
America. The first dufficuit step toward
an active policy has been taken by Ameri-
cans. Soon. whether they will or not,
they will have to take second. and then
third. The war with Spain will not
last forever. Hostifties viii cease and old
reckonings now seemingly forgotten will
be again proddcef On either side.
mo one. therefore. should be deceived
by the assurances Of the London press
that the reiations between England and
the United States are daily Improving
and the relations between France and the
American republic more strained Natu-
rally that is desired In London, but not
all wishes are realized: 1t may sooner be
presumed that the United States, having
become tnvnlyad r., Of "a
wide policy. will Seek a close union with
France and Russia, for a common and
pacific struggle with other western Euro
pean monarchs."

WORK OF NAVAL MILITIA
WAS WELL ENOUGH DONE FOR
GREEN HANDS
Captain Bartlett Recommends Some
System Which Will Provide Bet
ter Naval Recruits

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Captain John
r. Bartlett, who was in command of the
United States auxiliary naval force during
the war, has submitted report showing
that that force was organized with expedi-
ton and thoroughness in spite of the short
period of time available for the excellent SER
vice it rendered. In the course of the report
he speaks of the naval militia in terms of the
highest praise. 1t was the naval militia that
was called upon to man the first coast de
fense monitors; next the coast signal sys-
TEN and then the vessels of the auxiliary
navy assigned to coast work. Captain Bart
lett says:
''On the whole the work of the officers and
men from the naval militia was performed
in thorough and efficient manner, but our
recent experience shows that there is GER
tain class of work which they sould not un-
dertake to do.
Their anxiety to see active service and to
get away from receiving ships led many men
of education to enlist as coal passers and in
other ratings which they were not physically
able to fill.
This, of course, was quickly discovered
and easily remedied without mishap and
only resulted in the discontinue of the men
themselves"
Captain Bartlett says these militiamen
were CdiItu upon W perform uull6S tHdt
should never have been imposed upon them,
such as augmenting the crews of bluejackets
aboard regular naval vessels. This should
never happen again, he says, and therefore
he recommends the creation of system of
naval reserves based somewhat on the mill
tia system, when the men have shown them
selves experts in revenue marine service and
the life saving service. He submits the draft
of a bill to provide for reserve on these
lines.

sist in the organization of Silver Repub
lican club in that city, which began its worl
with 225 members, and promised to increase
this to 800 before election day. In this cit,
there are many Republicans who voted fol
Mckinley two years ago who are Silver Re
publicans now and will vote for Magur,
next Tuesday. The Republican claim o
wholesale de.ertions from our Silver Re
publican ranks is not substantated by tn,

give the names of those who have left us?
I'VE will hold a grand rally at the wig

Gans-Mc Partland

NEW YORK, Nov. Aloe Cans was to-
night awarded the decision over Kid Nc
Partland in 25-round bout before the Len
OK Athletic club. Mcfarland was favorite
in the betting over the Maryland boy. Both
boxers had weighed in at o'clock, neither
turning the scales at l33 pounds, and their
trainers claimed that both men were in the
pink of condition. The men put up beau
tiful fight, both landing freely and 6ercely.
By the ninth round Cans success in land
ing his left swings on the head sent his
stock up. Mcfarland began to get bit
wild in his work. but the colorcd boy kept
his temper and his wind and kept planting
telling blows on his opponents face. When
the gong sounded at the end of the twenty
fifth round, however, Mac still had plenty
of fight in him.
The preliminary bout between Billy
Needham of st. Paul and Johnny Marshall,
an Australian negro, was scheduled for ten
rounds at l26 pounds, but the Antipodean
was few pounds under the limit. Needham
cut out the pace from the start and sent his
left to the face and right to the body, while
the negro did a lot of work with his left,
which he chopped on the face and neck
Marshall was bleeding from the nose at the
close of the eighth round. Marshall was the
aggressor in the final round, but Needham
countered cleverly Marshall landed hard
left swing on the face toward the end of
the bout, but Needham had the call at the
finish. Referee Charley White, however,
declared Marshall the winner.

Choynski sprinting repeatedly around the
ring in his efforts to get out OF the way. To-
ward the close of the first round Joe stead
led himself for the first and only time and
landed several hard rights and lefts on
Ruhlin's face. One of the blows broke Joe's S
right forefnger In the early part of the
second round Choynski fell through the
ropes and landed on his head while evading
Rubin. The Ohio man forced Joe all about
the ring for the next three rounds, and the
San Francisco man was shaky at the end
of them, falling down several times to
evade Ruhlin's rushes. Rubin fouled a
number of times in the clinches, but it was
apparently due to the heat of the encounter.
Both men eased up in the final round, which
was uneyentful,
