Another Insult.

Secretary Bayard has made an.
other "bluff" which will be used by
the democratic party for political
purposes. The seizure of an Amer
lean chip in Haytian waters has
called from the secretary promise
that q man. of,war shall be dispatch
ed there Immediately to protect the
lives and property OF Americans.
This action becomes very transpa-
rent when it Is known that there is
not q man of-war in the United
States navy that can be commanded
Immediately by the government.
They are either laid up for repairs
or in foreign waters. But Bayard
knew this, and this incident is but q
repetition of the many that have oc-
CURED during the past four years.
Thr secretary clustered good deal
when the German government in
suited the United States a few weeks
ago, but he soon forgot all about the
occurrence. It will be the same in
this case, and the residents OF Hayti
need Lot fear the appearance of an
American man-of-war in their waters
at present. After the trouble is over,
We might send one of our tubs out
with an ambassador to offer ouI
apologies IN case we have offended
the Haytian government in any man.

DROWNED.

Dispatch and formerly OF the tug Mo-
guI, it appears with some companions
towards midnight went down to 60
aboard the Dispatch, aud in attempting
to jump from the wharf to the steamer,
fell between tie wharf and the steamer,
and was drowned. His companions
acted as promptly as possible to render
assistance, but when rescued. although
physicians we're on hand, their effort to
revive life was fruitless. Mr.. Gaffney it
is said, was a son-in-law to Mrs, Capt.
Benton OF Port Blakely.

Mr.. Allen excited great enthusiasm at
each OF the three points at which he
spoke yesterday. The people of China
cum followed him down to HadlOck and
gave him a rousing audience with ire
mendous enthusiasm. The republican
outlook is very encouraging indeed. We
premise that Jefferson county will give

BOARD OF TRADE.

In response to a communication re-
ceived from the National Board of Trade
a resolution was passed declaring that il
was the sense of the Board that the next
census include statistics of and relating
to the recorded indebtedness of the
people. The House of Representatives
struck out a provision of the bill to this
effect and 1t Is considered very import
ant that the senate restore it. There is
undoubtedly very exaggerated idea in
the East as to the amount of mortgages
on farm lands in the West and this
move will aid in correcting this opinion.
A communication was read from E. v.
R. Gardner, of West Town, New York,
asking what inducements this city can
extend for the location of a branch of
the Gardner steel graphing, self-adjust-
ing hay fork. Referred to the manufac-
turing committee for correspondence.
A motion was carried that it was the
sense of the Board that there was no
sufficient reason why the long and short
haul clause should be suspended in
case to come before the interstate COM
merce commission at meeting to be
held in Iowa soon. Gen. E. M. Pope
expects to be present at that meeting
and will look out for the interests of
Mankato.
