This executive committee meets III ray
lor next Wednesday, the 10Th, to consider
ways and means for surveying the new
county of Willie, prepare an address to
the legislature, draw up Il bill, and
generally push the work i'll every direc-
ton until the Adjournment of the Twenty
first legislature. A committee Of three
from each local club acts i'll conjunction
with the executive committee, and Will
collect funds to defray expenses.
The visiting delegates were entertained
In excellent style by the Taylor club, and
they went away very enthusiastic for the
work and firmly believing that Willie
county will be created. John w. Parker,
Esq, of Taylor, and Judge j. n. Nc
Fadin of Circleville addressed the con-
vention and defined the issues i'll terse
terms.
The local clubs meet once week, and
the move will be kept hot until success
crowns their efforts.
An idea of this Willie county move may
be had from the statement that no
opposition to it exists i'll the proposed
boundaries, embracing 700 square miles
of the richest land i'll Texas, with pop
ulation of 30 900, a voting strength of
1900, and taxable values amounting to
-SSS775 900. The surrounding county seats
'Sare twenty-five, thirty and forty miles
distant, and it is very inconvenient and
expensive for the citizens to transact their
county business.

HAYTI'S SCHEME.
How the Little Republic Will Avoid the Dis
grace of Surrendering the Seized Yes
sci in Open Port.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia Kingston,
Jamaica, special to the Herald says the
Haytians are in Il state of terror at the
rumor that United States war vessels are
on their way here to demand the release
of the seized steamer, Haytien Republic.
The government dare not fight and they
fear that to surrender the vessel in open
port at the demand of foreign man-of-
war would make them unpopular. They
have decided upon very shrewd move.
The Atlas Line steamer, Alone, Captain
Soldiers, which arrived from New York
last night brought with her crew under
contract with Minister Preston. They Will
sail for Port au Prince at midnight on the
steamer Arran, also of the Atlas Line,
which has been chartered for the OCca-
SION, and will take possession of the
steamer Haytien Republic Sunday. They
will leave Immediately for New York be-
fore the American war vessels arrive.
Chief Officer Williams of the Alone will
command the returned vessel. The Atlas
Company has contracted with Minister
Preston to deliver the Haytien Republic
at New York and they hope to accom-
plish it in this way. Ilayti thus eX-
poets to be spared the disgrace of being
compelled to deliver the vessel on the de-
maEd of a foreign man-of-war. The
government also hopes to escape the pay
ment of indemnity. 1t is great scheme.
: In regard to the above Herald reporter
last night interviewed Secretary Bayard
ut Washington. The secretary said he
had no information on the subject, but
that the line of action indicated in the
Kingston dispatch would be agreeable to
him, bat so far as the question of indem-
nifty was involved it would not make the
slightest difference. The Hay tan min
lister, stephen Preston, said he had
heard nothing'ef such plan.

ST. PAUL, MINI, ~~ls5ssAss9ahfe
Pioneer Press this morning says the
United States secret service officers here
are on the track of gigantic opium
smuggling conspiracy. They have
learned that an organized and well
equipped band of smugglers has for years
been. operating across the northwestern
border, bringing into the states the costly
and high fairfield drug. one of the gang
was arrested recently at Denver, and he
made II full confession. Acting on the
information given by him, the deputy
collector of Minnesota went TO point

last and intercepted n wagon
load of 500 pounds of opium
in crude form The opium i'll the wagon
was concealed under layer of buffalo
hides. The whole outfit was seized and
the driver of the wagon was arrested.
Two government detectives left st. Paul
for the north last night. They are after
the man to whom the opium was con-
signed. He is waiting at some small
town III Red River county for the stuff
and will probably be in the clutches of
the law before night. When his arrest
is accomplished they VIII have the leader
of the gang and according to reports one
of the smartest and most dangerous of
