THE HAYTiSN TROUBLE.

The United States Cruiser 7iaston Inter.
 cepted at Kingston, Jam ,ics, and Or
 dered to Proceed to Hayti to Look After
 American Interests.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The Navy De- partment Is doing all it c .n to hasten ths arrival in Haytien waters Of sufficient force to protect the interests Of Amer jeans there. Commander Harmouy Acting Secretary of ths Navy, was seen by your cores spoudent last night He said the Ksarsarge will be ready to sail in three or four days. In the meantime. the depar tment has been trying to communicate by tele- graph with the Boston, which recently sailed from New York. and which is now at Graytosyu or som ewhere off the coast of Nicaragua. It is impossible to reach her by telegraph direct, because there is no line to the city where she is thought to be living. But ins truc- tioas will be immediately telegraphei to the United States representative at the nearest point, and he will forward them by the most expeditions way to the ship
 ''The Boston," said the Commodore, twill go to Hayti. The kearsarge will go, too. It i, simply question which will get there first but one vessel will bs equal to all needs Of the occasion. What ever American yes sels have bean seized will be promptly taken back. The HaY- tien Governmeat has done avery stupid thing i'll establishing q bloc.iade without giving any uotics of it.''
 Information having been received at the Navy Department this morning to the effect that the steel cruiser Boston had arrived at Kingston last night. Acting Secretary Harmony decided to revoke the orders sending the kAarSarge, now lying in dock at Portsmouth, N. H.. to protect American interests iu H tyti. and to orders the Boston there in her stead. Accordingly, orders were sent to her commander to pro- ceed to Port-auPriuce without delay and to do all ill his power to preserve the safety of American residents there case of trouble arising out of the Gov ernmeut's recent action iu seizing the steamer Haytien Re public. The run from Kingston to Port-a Prince will take about twelve hours, whereas 1t would be at least a month before the kearsarge could reach the latter port.

The Springdale news., 1888-11-09

WASHINGTON, Nov. The Post this morning has the following: The Presi- dent talked quite freely yesterday about the returns and the incre ased Repu blican vote, but expressed not the slightest re- gret in the world at any action he had taken during his administration. He is willing to admit that his position on the tariff and the decided stand he took in favor Of revenue reduction may have lost him good many votes, but he still main- tains that if 1t was to do over again he would follow the dictates of his own convictions. The bitterest pill the President has to wallow is the partisan action of number of Republic ans whom he kept i'll office, and who voted and worked against him with all their power. Their department toward the Administration is a source of great disappointment to him.
 The President received no telegrams from New York City later than early in the afternoon. From what he has heard, however, he comedies that he is defeated. No man ever took defeat more philo- .ophtcally. He lays his defeat 10 no one. Hill and Tammany Hall, he says, treated him perfe etly square, and he has no fault to find against them at all.

 PROCLAMATIoN:
 Constant thanksgiving and gratitude are due from the American people to Almighty God for His goodness and mercy. which have followed them since the day he made them Nation, and youchsafed to them free government. With loving kindness he has constantly led us in the way of prosperity and greatness. He has not visited with swift punishment our short- e0mingS, but with gracious care he has warned us of our dependence upon his forbearirnce, and has taught us that obedience to His holy law Is the price of continuance of His precious gifts. In acknowledgement of all that God has done for us as Nation, and to the end that on an appointed day the united prayers and praise of a grateful country may reach the Throne of Grace, l. Grover Cleveland, President Of the United States, do hereby designate and set apart Thursday, the 29th day of November, instant, as day of thanksgiving and prayer, to be kept and ob- served throughout the land. On that day let all our people suspend thelr ordinary work and occupations, and in their accustomed places of worship with prayer and songs of praise, render
 
 abundant harvests which have rewarded the toll of the ] sbandman during the year that has passed, and for the rich rewards that have followed the labors Of our people in their shops and their marts of trade and traffic. Let give thanks for eace and for social order and contentment within our borders. and for our advancement in all that adds to national great aeSs And, mindful ot the effective diSpensa- ton With which portion of our land has been visited let us while we humble ourselves be- fore the power of God. acknowledge His mercy In setting bounds to the deadly march of pesti. lence and let our hearts be chastene1 by sym pathy with our fellow-countrym an who have suffered and who mourn. And as we return thanks for all the blessings which have received from the hands of our Heavenly Father, let us not forget that He has enjoined upon us charity; and on !hIs day of thanksgiving let us generously re- member the poor and needy. so that our tribute Of praise and gratitude may be acceptable ID the sight of the Lord.

Indian Sense-Training.

A powerful argument in favor of training the senses is the following ac- count of the skill with which Indians judge of distance and direction It also shows how this ability is acquired. II is remarkable how correct Indians. of all races, are in the adjustment Of their work. l have seen other men. mechanics, with plumb, rule and level. fail in laying an accurate horizontator perpendicular: but with the help only of their eyes. the Indians are invaria- bly successful. This accuracy jn straight lines. while it must always elicit admiration, will cease to excite wonder if we remember that, even w-h an imperfect bow, an Indian will pierce any given leaf on q branch thir- ty or forty feet high. An Indian, in ,ny presence in an emergency, once took up a pointed stick and a child bow made from $ part of the wooden hoop of a barrel, and pinned large snake to the ground, just when it was crawling in aa uneven course.
