Editor Hawaiian Gazette.
Dear Sir:-I was prevented by i'll
ness yesterday 10 answer your note
OF same date. ! had nearly decided to
let the case take care Of itslf. but
l believe ! owe you consideration for
your kindness TO me and this letter
will close. for me, at least, this polemic
at once and for good.
The Alabama was here az the date
you stated in your last issue. Was
she under her own name and did she
show her Confederate ensign? I do
not remember. l Will give you two
cases in which she did not:
l am not quite sure OF the date. but
l believe il was March or April 1864
at Cape de Verde. The Alabama en-
tered the harbor flying the Belgian flag
and under the name of LeBrabant. and
coaled on that account. She assumed
the character of merchantmen COM
ing from Buenos Ayres.
| believe also in August or Septe NJ
Der. 1868, she entered the harbOr OF
Funchal. Madeira island, flying the
Danish flag and also coaled. pretend
ing also TO be a merchantmen. The
true character of the Alabama did al
ways prevent her to enter certain har-
bors with bands of music or flags fly
ing. The crew as we'll as her officers.
appeared more like yachtsmen than
man-o- war s-men, except in few cir
cumstances. When it was difficult 10
procure coal. Capt. Semmes would
quietly go ashore and generally got
what he wanted.
Regarding the official log book Of the
Alabama. it has never been published.
as il lies at the bottom of the British
channel 1t was customary with Capt.
Semmes never TO enter in the log
book the name of the places where he
did coal, for obvious reasons; and for
the same reasons. certain cruises of the
Alabama were never written in said
log book.
With kindest regards. | am. dear
sir. yours very truly.

CThe author of the above letter
brought letters of introduction to PER-
sons in this city from DR.. Gorham d.
Gilman. for many years our Con-
sui in Boston. Otherwise his ac-
count Of the visit of the Alabama TO
this point in 1869 would not have APP
peared in this paper.
The Alabama never visited this port.
The history of her voyages written by
her own officers. and acc essable to any
one here. settles the matter The fact
that scores of persons resident here at
the time OF the alleged visit never
heard of ii is equally conclusive. The
statement made by the author OF the
above letter that the Alabama cap
turad a whaler at Easter Island. and
visited that island is not mentioned by
any one of those who have described
her voyages. Even if her log book
went TO the bottom of the British
Channel her officers easily recalled the
name of every man on board who held
a commission.
The author Of this singular story
and of the foregoing letter must be
the victim of the "hoodoo." or some
other similar hypnotic scheme. His
observation that certain cruises Of the
Alabama were never written in the
log book" does not explain why Capt.
Semmes, himself and Lieut.. Sinclair
should voluntarily tell the story Of her
voyages. and deliberately leave out a
cruise of. 900 miles in the Pacific.
There may have been at the time Of
her cruises, motive for suppressing
any account of them. But with the
close of the war that motive no longer
existed. The 'hoodoO" theory alone
can explain the mental haIlucination
which has spun out this yarn.-The

Missoula; April 2.-There is some
today in regard to the
fort. Last night telegram, signed
by many leading citizens Of Missoula,
was sent to Senators Carter and
Mantle and Congressman Hartman
asking them to ntercedc for the re-
tention Of the post. The congress-
men were asked to see, at any rate, if
an order could not be secured from
the war department, stationing dc
tachment here for the protection Of
the buildings and post property.
This morning the following telegram
from Carter was received in reply to
the requests sent last night: "lavc
lust left the office Of the secretary Of
war. In my presence he dictated a
telegram countermanding the order
for the abandonment Of Fort Missou-
la and directing that detachment
of 20 men be left in charge until the
return of the regular garrison
Your telegram was the first notice
received by me Of the Objectionable
order, which the secretary has mad:
vertentlv issued as he had no intcn'
tion Of abandoning the fort
All official order was received at
the fort from the war department tt
the same purpose. 1t is hoped tha
garrison will be sent here rs soon a:

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
Helena Goes Republican, Butte Demo.
cratic, Anaconda Breaks Even.


Last Monday was election day in
in several cities in Montana, and the
result is somewhat mixed, The city
Of Butte, in WHICH it was said that
the democratic, silver republican, ad
ministration republican and populist
parties had nominated a ticket, elect
ed seven democratic aldermen and
one silver republican. The populist
party in that city went all to pieces,
and only cast 50 votes The total
vote Of Butte, distributed between
the parties was: democrats, 1878:
silver republicans, 1,105: administra-
tion republicans, 500; populists, 50.
In Anaconda the democrats elected
three alderman and the republicans
three.
In Great Falls the democrats and
populists fused and elected all four
aldermen.
In Missoula the democrats elected
TWO aldermen and the republicans
two. The democrats elect Judge
Landers, police magistrate, and j. W.
Lister treasuEer
En- Helena came the surprise Of
the year. With the Herald the re-
publican paper, opposing him, with
the Butte Inter Mountain and the
Anaconda Standard chipping in
against him, Frank J. Edwards, re-
publican candidate for mayor, is
elected by PSI plurality aud a major
ty Of ~ over the democratic and
populist nominees. Democrats elect
cd three aldermen and republicans
four. The popu]ists appeared to
have disappeared here as in Butte,
their nominee, John Huscby, and a
very popular man, polling only 2lO
votes. The republicans also elected
their candidates for treasurer and
police Judge by pluralities of TAT and
1875, and four aldermen out of seven.
In that city the republicans did not
divide on national financial issues.
but all pulled together on the judge
and treasurer.
In Bozeman the republicans elect
ed three aldermen and the democrats
one. *s
In Livingston the republicans
elected two aldermen and the dem,
OcratS one.

A .SIDDEN SUMMONS.
Rey. 6, ~. Blythe Stricken III the Pulpit
Dying Shortly After

Last Sunday evening, just after
finishing his sermon, Rev. George W.
Blythe, pastor ol the Baptist church
of this town, was stricken with apo
plcxv. and died within few hours.
The reverend gentleman had seemed
in unusually good spirits previous to
the services, and had talked in his
usual happy, cheerful way to some Of
the congregation who arrived early,
The text Of his sermon which was an
unusually strong one, was 'BelieYe
on the Lord Jesus Christ aud thou
shall be saved" The last few pass
ages Of the sermon were a trifle in
distinct and rambling; this fact was
noticed by John Mclaughlin and
others who sat close to the pulpit,
and Mr.. Blythe finished rather alb
ruptly with the words ''Let up pray
He spoke few words Of prayer, then
bowed bis head on the stand and two
or three times over said: "Lord be
merciful to me-" and then: "Lord
be merciful to them," repeating the
words and concluding with "Amen~" F"
He seemed to be groping for the
book to close it, and then, as if dizzy,
reeled towards the pulpit. Mr.. Nc
Laughln, who for some time feared
something was the matter, sprang up
and caught him before he fell, and
gently laid him in the chair, soon as
sisted by others. BY this. time Mr.
Blythe was unconscious. and DR..
Brice was sent for and then DR..
Gwinn.. The sufferer was taken to
the parsonage close by, but never re-
covered consciousness, and breathcd
his last as the clock struck the hour OF
r., Thephy hysicians both gave the cause
OF death as apOplexy.
The funeral services were held at
the Baptist church yesterday after
noon, and drew one OF the largest
attendances ever seen at a similar
service in this town, the deceased
having endeared himself to all classes
during his residence among us. The
arrangements were in the hands OF
the United Workmen, OF which order
deceased was a member. The re
} mains were not inferred, but were
embalmed last night, awaiting the
arrival or his son from the east, who
is expected to reach here tomorrow.
Deceased was born in Missouri or
the 22d Of May, 1913, and was nearly
55 years Of age. He served during
the war in the Confederate army. il

dram and J. G. Daugherty Of thi:
