Sweeney Case Highlights Blaine Policy in Ireland
A long report traces Daniel Sweeney’s arrest under Ireland’s coercion act of 1881 and US responses. It alleges Blaine ordered low intervention through Lowell, deeming naturalized Americans detained without trial acceptable. Sweeney’s letters, the British reply, and congressional reactions illustrate a chastening view of 1880s US foreign policy toward citizens abroad.

Papuans of the Maclay coast in primitive stage
Popular Science Monthly notes that the Maclay coast Papuans of New Guinea use stone bone and wood weapons and know no metal. They cannot start fire and rely on neighbors for ignition. Some recount ancestral memory of a time without fire. Southern coast natives lack iron and now shave with glass, previously using sharpened tools.
