also appears to avoid all extremes Of
fashion in her dress. She wears rich
materials, but plain dark colors, and
dinner given herself and husband by
PRESIDENT and Mrs. Grant at the White
House Saturday evening she wore %
dark neutral shade Of silk, garnish-
cd with lace and fringe. She wore
no ornaments 1t is customary at
all large and formal otherwise
known as "State," dinner parties In
Washington for oil the ladies to
appear in ''full evening dress" )" all wear
ing low waists. On this occasion Mrs.
Grant was the only lady present wear
ing the conventional full Dress with
arms and shoulders uncovered. Her
toilet was white silk, broeaded In bou@
,, quets OF bright-colored flowers. The
other ladies at the dinner had, 1t seems,
been warned In advance OF the style OF
dress preferred by the wife OF the in
coming President, and In compliment to
her wore high waists, and those whose
arms and shoulders are usually much
mplimented felt ehagrined when they
saw Mrs. Grant, whose arms and neck
are her chief beauty, with hers uncover
cd, while their charms we're suffering
an unwilling eclipse. It seems Mrs.
Grant had not been advised Of the pre-
ferences OF her successor In regard 10
dress.
ST. LOUIS.
The Radicals of that village do not Like
the Cabinet.
Especial TO Cincinnati Enquirer
ST. LOUIS March 10.-Of course, Mr..
Hayes Cabinet has been the talk Of the
town during the week, and 1t has been
amusing to witness the ebuilltiohs OF
wrath poured forth by the faithful OF
1T. Louis. This staid but uugodiy city
is noted for the radicalism OF it's lead
ing politicians on both sides, nnd espe-
cially those on the Republican side.
The most af them are Communists.
Grantists, Eternal Hateists, and Con-
gether by the cohesion OF public plum
der, and idolatrously devoted to an Ad-
ministration that allowed them TO steal
all they could lay their hands on. It
was too hard for q set OF fellows who had
organized the gigantic Whisky Ring,
robbed the government OF millions, and
corrupted O community OF distillers, to
accept Cabinet that will keep o lock-
on the Treasury, and consequently they
howled and are still howling over tho
betrayal OF their party. The appoint
ment Of Schurz is particularly odious.
there being strong personal a5 well IS
political reasons for this feeling.
THE HaYrIEs mEpUsLn
A Conspiracy Against the governments
Frustrated-rhe Lead srs Arr iestea.
IN. Y. Tdbu ie.J
The steamship Etna, which arrived
yesterday from Port-au.P Prince, which
port she left on February 2G, brought
dispatches from which it appears that %
revolutionary spirit still exists among
some of the supporters Of the late gov
ernment OF Dominique in Hayti. The
dispatches state that for g. long time
the police OF Port-au. Prince have been
aware Of conspiracy against the Gov
ernment by Alexandra Benjamin, He
rard Lafarest, Pomero Jean-Jacques,
Dassan Morisset, II. Piquant, Jacques
Thibaud and Laraque. The Govern
ment OF Boisrond Canal was aware OF
every movement made by the
conspirators, and at the
proper moment, when the ar j
rest Of the leaders was sure to Illustrate
their objects, the military and the 20.
lice, accompanied by judge OF the
peace, armed with warrants, proceeded
to arrest the ringleaders. When the #
authorities arrived at the houses OF
Gems. Montmorency, Benjamin and La
far, those conspirators could not be
found, and up to the time Of the depar-
ture Of the steamer had eyaded arrest.
Some Of the conspira'ors had taken re-
fuge In the Spanish Consulate, but the I.
Haytien minister said yesterday that
they had been delivered to justice.
President Canal thought the matter
serious enough to issue proclamation
to the Haytien people on Feb. %. In
this the President said that although
perfect tranquility reigned in every
part Of the republic, at the capital evil
minded persons were endeavoring to
disturb the peace. He assured the peo-
pie that every one OF the disturbers was
known to the government, and that Ii
they were not sooner arrested 1t was
because he had wished TO proceed In a
perfectly legal way. The people might ].
rely upon his frmness and energy 70 q
maintain order and uphold liberal il-
stitutions upon firm basis. The dis
patches further state that the island
had become perfectly tranquil, and that
the marriage Of Canal was celebrated
on Feb. 10.
