AFTURE OF THE
" SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES
Aetion of the United States Authorities
. .
:The ex-blockade-runner Hornet left this port
on Saturday under circumstances exciting the.
suspecion that her intentions. were not, per
, reedy:holiest. She has been lying for some
'time past at Netdie 8; Levy's yard, Kensing
ton, where she has been thorougly overhauled
and refitted by the parties who purchased her
•• from the Government.. .
' The Hornet is a side-wheel steamer with
.Y.most powerful paddles, and her engines and
OJeilers are unusually large, being, withainne,
'hlterations; the Smite - that - were iu Tier wlien
•• captured off Wihnington. Tier color outside
'is a deep black. he inner works are. in
• the • most Perfect -.order, everything
being apparently prepared to stand hard set
vice; Shehas two smoke-stackS, inclined at
• a sharp angle, they also being painted black.
The rigging is almost entirely new, and there
.are on 'board a great quantity of cables, ropes;
Se. She is pierced for four guns,: , but we
ascertained that she has, nothing- on board of
.., her - but - a large quantity of ship's stores:; - Her
:,-creiv is • unusually- large; . there being a very
Inn complement of engineers and firelllell and
.4.'
]t has been very difficult to get any definite
information as to the destination of this suss-'
picions-looking "long,low, black" craft, while
• she has been getting ready for sea. 'On - Friday,
..:She cleared for "Liverpool, by, the way o
Tiara 112 ," and on 'Satmdayafterno en she drop
per) down the river to a point below' the 'city;.
• where, it is supposed, she was. to have, taken
.2 .
on board a number of men from a tug" which
VMS in her company when she was discovered
by the Cutter Miami.
At 5.45 yesterday. (Sunday) morning, U. S.
• Marshal Gregory, and (.apt. Wright, of the
- United States Army, came on board the
Miann and conferred with the cointnandimy,,
ofiieer; stating that the Services of that vest;)
were desired to aid in the eapture of tlitl
steamship Hornet, hailing from Portland.
Me.; supposed 115 be meditating air violation Of
the neutrality laws, in fitting out and starting
an expedition, and .conveying arms and am
munitions of war to the struggling Cubans.
All preprrations haying neon made, the
Miami steamed down the river, all hands ex.'
cited and in eager, expectation of a ca store of
a real, live Cuban filibuster. A gooil lookout
was kept for su.spicicnis vessels, and 10.34 i a
large steamer was discovered rounding Reedy
Island Paint under a full head of St,eam, which
:,'.answered to the description of tlie supposed
lilibuster given to, C'aptain Jones by Marshal
7 . .0 regory.
The Mimi hove short and orders were
givott to matt the battery; and . No. 1 gnu was
i;-.clettri.al away..
At. 1050 the suspicious steamer came in
-• range, and the Miama let fly a blank cartridge
across her boWS from .No. 1 gun; and the
g,tur. was shorted for further use. The
blank shot, hoWever,,,w6.4 'enough for her,
and she, not liking that_ kind of treat
ment; and fearing : wrse should she
undertake to proceed further; rounded to.
First Lieutenant C. A. Abbey was sent on
'board as a prize -master, with instructions to
anchor her in range of the guns of the cutter.
, thoroughly overhaul her and her papers. and
searelrtb discoter any armament of war
which inightbe on board, and Under no eon
' sideration - to, allow any person' to.leave her.
On exaMimition she proved to be the:steamer
Hornet; hailing from Portland, Me.
At 3. 45 P. 31. instructions were given to'
_Lieutenant Abbey to get the prize under
*eigh fOr Philadelphia. Mid she started up
stream. followed by the Miami. and at 8.30 P.
M. the Miami came to beloW the Navy Yard
with her prize astern.
;The decks of the Hornet were literally
covered with coal and wood, which had evi
dently been thrown on board in the hurry of
preparing for sea.
At the time the Hornet was sighted a sus
picious tug was following her: As soon as.the
Miami tired into the Hornet, the tug signalled
to the latter, rounded to and steamed off.
The crew of the Hornet amounted to 23 men,
who Were armed with revolvers and other
- weapons.
The vessel twill be turned over to the cus
tody of . U. .Marshal Ort:gory; bin will ;lie
under the tuns of the Miami for the:
being.

It, is the opinion of unprejudiced naval offi

evidence fully sustained all charges, and that
Surgeon Green will .be found gniltv.
The evidence also showed conchNively
that there was no. foundation for
the reports of cruelty against the crew on the
part of Commander 'Selfridge. It was proved
that.the commanding officer only ordered the
surgeon to take the mile of the seaman off
thelist, when the latter reported him•capable
•,of, performing light day,: and then for the
urpose of plating his name on the qexcused
so that lie would not be required to per
form hard labor.
Surgeon Green admitted to the eharge of
drunkenness, but plead as an excuse for his
conduct that the officers were in a similar
condition.

On this • Third Congress of the National
Labor Union, we meet first to condole: with
each other on the departure frima this life" of
our well-beloved President, whose ; work and
worth is beforens a glorious :'eXample which
we all see and feefit our diity 'to emulate and
persevere in the good work he so man
nobly--Carried —for
ward i believing that his spirit still
lends its power to • cheer us forward and on, :
ward; we will not stop and feet awed or dis
couraged, but Move forward assured that we
have not only 'his approving smile, but the
help of God and the angels, from whom in all
nature we see, feel and know : that labor is
praise and all humanity its expressive.,
We need to-da,friends,•not aa.a,ne* party
or organization,. feeble and Pnerile: The few
years of our existence as a party does not
measure the date of Our existence, nor can
our number tell our strength.
We are here, the living, embodied , element
of national greatness and republican strength.
The' same influence which went forth at
Bunker Hill and conquered at Lexitigt6W and
Brandywine speaks out the same unmis
takable ring which there struck .out for free
dom.•
We, the National Labor knioni are the
people who have neither time, money, or in
clination to frit :•away' the . precious :hours in
fashion's giddy throng, following the ex
ample of bomid-holders and bankers,: dancing
and feteing, when thousands upon 1: 7 '. - msandS
whom we have sworn to protect aresti..ggling
in the jaws of poverty, with certain destruc
tion at their doors. Nay, friends; ours is tint a
gathering where tiunityism and shoddy glisten
in the gas-light and dazzle in the sun. We
come not to worship gold nor to bow in
silence to that strategy which lie placed our
idols safe and our millions out of the reach of
laboring men. "We are here, the solid
men of our • land. We ' meet,
knowing no •sectional lines, no party
spiritwhieh would Make a , boundary over
which a great democracy may not travel with
safety. Men of the South, of the North; of
the East, and the West, come to-day with one
common interest and one common claim. Nor
do we come to lay the trophies of war upon
the altar of Mars, mid boast our separate
claim to authority and to power. Ours is
no such meeting,. and we trust no man
present has in his .heart a remnant of that
fearful seed which, allows one to 'say to an
other "my State must have this or that favor.
itism to the expenseand exhaustion of a sister
state or boundary." Nay, friends, we all saw
enough of that.we come to demand of the age,
a necessity,a peace necessity, We come to
represent and protect the neople,to draw closer
together the lines which are so steadily bind

money out of the hands of foreign capitalists,
to compel Congress and our- represent
atives to remain true to the one
hope which gleams out of the
lark ness—namely, the will of tk peopfr; the low
the loyol—to demand properprotection for
the entire country. 'To destroy all monopoly
which holds the force of money, control of
certain lines of transportation, to crush for
ever the spirit and power which blocks up and
compels' the great West to pay tribute

the Atlantic. We do not sieet to congratulate
and keep in ignorance the masses. 0 urplatfo rin

their demands, under their just measure and
broad positions; our ranks-are being tilled,but
they remain immutable and ,unchanged in
their substance and spirit.

naught but one sure gliding into decay and

This is not a thing to pray for, nor a time to

power should do. We join ourselves to settle
in one solemn oom_pact—men and women—
moving a solid phalanx against these oppres

Sumner ask, " Are we a nation?" But, no
