The DEPOsED PRESIDENT.

The revolution in Hayti has proved
successful, and President Solomon has
taken refuge on an English frigate.
Outbreaks against the government
have been frequent. Recently the
city of Port-au-Prince was fired by in
cendiaries at various points and SIM
ultaneously resulting in the destruc-
ton of five hundred houses, the burn
ing of the official buildings, including
the government printing office, the
department of the interior, the cham
Der of deputies, the protestant cathe-
dral, and other notable structures.
The CONGREGATIONS occurred on the
4th and 18th of July, and were sup
posed to be the forerunners of bloody
revolution on the island, as it seems
they have proved to be.
Louis Etienne Felicite Solomon, the
deposed president, was born in Hayti,
in 1916. He belongs to wealthy and
highly esteemed family, and is of pure
African blood. After having received
a fine education in Paris, he returned
to Hayti and took an active part in
politics. In 1S48 President SoulOuque
appointed him minister of finance and
foreign relations. He was created
Duke of st. Louis du Sud
in l849, and general in 1855. On
the fall of the empire under
Faustin L., in 1859, and the establish
ment of a republic, he found it con-
venient for some time to live abroad,
and later was sentenced to death in
contumaciam. President Geffrard
was expelled in 1867 when General
Solomon was appointed Envoy and
Minister Plenipotentiary to France,
Great Britain and Spain. Thereafter
he alternated between holding Office
and flying from Hayti under sentence
of death until: the latter part of 1879
he was elected president by unani-
nous vote of the Senate and Chamber
of Deputies in convention assembled.
He was reelected in November, 1886,
for another period of seven years.
President Solomon is a fine looking
old man and is person of refinement
and force of character. His wife is a
French woman, and the couple are de-
vOut Catholics.

High License in Pennsylvania.

From the New York Press.
The new high license law of Pennsyl-
vania has at last gone into operation
all over the state. This law fixes
the retail liquor license in cities at
$500, in towns at $500, in bOroughs at
$50, and in country townships at SIS.
1t gives the county judges the abso-
lutte power of granting and revoking
licenses, and requires them to enter
tain such considerations as the need
of the community from which an APP
plicant comes, and the relative num-
Der of his petitioners and the remon-
strants against him, as well as his
general moral character and capacity
for preserving order The complete
returns show that the number of Ii
censed houses in the state is reduced
from IA ,553 to 7724; there were II $50 APP
plications, twO-thirds of which were
granted. The revenue from the Ii
censes granted is 81 1885,, 1868, as against
1916, 179 under the old law, or virtually
twice as much revenue as before, from
half the number of retail houses. In
Philadelphia two-thirds of the appli-
cations were rejected. The proportion
granted in the state at large is
brought up by the facts that the coun-
try judges had been drawing the lines
strictly for some years under an I'M
written Interpretation of the old law,
which is embodied in the new law.
In Philadelphia licenses have hereto
fore been granted by the county COM
missioners, who are generally ma
chine politicians. The new law, how
ever, vests the license power in the
common pleas judges; hence the
marked reduction in Philadelphia.

The Fair,

The fair association directors met
this morning and finally decided on
the size of the race track. 1t will be
three-quarters of a mile in length.
They referred this matter of length of
track to Mr.. Buck, editor of the Spirit
of the Times, for arbitration, and he
recommended a three-quarter instead
of a half mile track.
1t was decided on the fence wire
around the grounds also. Work on
the grounds was shown to be progress
ing very rapidly.
Secretary Dickinson submitted a
prospectus of the proposed fair and
exposition, which was adopted by the
board, and several thousand copies
ordered printed at once, to be dis
tributed among the citizens of San An
tonic and others and they will be re-
quested to send them out in all their
mail matter.
Things will begin to run right along
now and the fair will be success.
