OUR HAYTIAN IMBROGLIO
THE o. s. GoYERNMENT PREPARING
TO ENFORCE IT'S Fiat.


After Having Referred the Matter of th,
Arbitration of the Question OF thu
seized Vessel to The United States
the Haytiaa Authorities Apparently
are Disinclined to Accept the DE.
cision-yessels 10 be Ordered to nayti
at Once.
WAsRlNGToN, D. c., December 7.-Secre.
tary Whitney this morning admitted frank
iy that he had ordered three naval vessels
to get ready as soon as possible to start
for Hayti. He added: 1.-The Haytian au-
thorities referred TO the case Of the seized
steamer Haytian Republic to this Govern
ment. We have reached a decision, and
that. in short, is that they have got to
give her up. Unfortunately, yellow fever
broke out ON the Boston while she was at
Port au Prince, and compelled her to leave
that climate; otherwise the matter might
have been settled before now
Secretary Whitney yesterday sent tele-
graphic instructions to Rear Admiral Cher.
ard, commandment OF the New York navy
yards, to have the ships Richmond and
Yantic prepared for sea as rapidly as pos
eible. The idea is to have them ready SO
they can sail direct for Hayti early next
week.
Orders have also been issued for Rear
Admiral Luce, commanding the North At
lantic squadron, TO transfer his flag from
the Galena TO the Richmond, and use that
vessel as his flag ship OF the expedition.
WAsHINGToN, December 7.-Orders issued
his afternoon to the commandment OF che
Norfolk navy yard To prepare the United
States steamer Os5ipee for sea service as
soon as possible. She will be sent to Port
au Prince, unless something happens in
tue meantime To render it unnecessary
Secretary EHdicott had an interview with
Secretary Whitney CHS morning and a
rumor is started that it has been decided
to send a number If troops to Hayti to
assist the naval forces, but it was subse-
quently ascertained there was NO founda-
ton for the report.
HAYTIAN AUTHORITIES TOO DILAroRY.
WASHINGTON, December TIT is learned
this afternoon that the action OF Score.
tary Whitney in ordering a feet of vessels
to prepare for the expedition to Hayti is
due not SO much to the absolute refusal
on the parto of the government to comply
with the request for the release of the
seized American vessel as to hasten the
dilatory tactics adopted by the Haytian
authorities in dealing with the question.
The position taken by this government
is understood to be that, as the Haytiau
authorities referred arbitration of the
case to this government, they are virtually
bound by it's decision, and that when they
were informed by this government that
they had no legal right to sieze and detain
the Hayden Republic, they should have
accepted the situation and released
the vessel. While they have not
refused to do this, they are, it is
said, acting in such a "a as to Indicate q
strong Discrimination to accept the judg-
ment against them.

4 NICE Law POINT.
Argued in the District Court Yester-
day Afternoon.

Argued in the District Court Yester-
day Afternoon.
An interesting case was argued yesterday
afternoon in the District Court. In the case
of Territory VS.. Blackwood aud Willard for
the robbery of clothing and goods belong
ing to Carrie Schultz from the Eagle saloon
on Pa TX street last summer, there were
two indictments, one for grand larceny and
one for burglary. The same circumstances
formed the ground for the two
indictments. The County Attorney pro-
ceeded to trial first on the lesser charge Of
grand larceny, and the defendants were
found guilty OF petty larceny and SEN
fenced to ninety days each in jail. Ne
Bride & Haldorn appeared before Judge
De Wolfe yesterday afternoon and moved
for the dismissal OF the charge
Of burglary, as the gooIs Tor
the taking Of which this charge is laid are
the same as those for taking which the de-
PENDANTS were fnund guilty OF petty larceny.
The defendants counsel made a lengthy
before the court and submit-
ted numerous authorities. County At
torney De Witt opposed the mo-
ton and contested the motion with
all his ability, referring to numerous au-
thuritie5 in support OF his views. The
lawyers regard the point as a nice legal
one, and one the decision in which VIII
rave an important effect On crimina cases
here in future.

Copper.

(From J. Friedenstein' $ metal report, Nov. 1.)
 The past month has developed but little of interest te the trade in gen eral. Prices for Lake brands have ruled fairly steady in open market on very llght dealings, mainly for specu- lative account. Runners both tavora- bls and unfavorable to the much abused" Syndicate have been Heated at different intervals during the month without foundation or basis-still the market was iu a small measure in- tluenced thereby.
 Some few "bear" sales were made for three months forward delivery at 17.15; these same sellers subsequently covering December shorts at 17.70. Runners of the final consummation of of agreements of the Syndicate with American producers looking towards extension of existing contracts at an increased prce fsr the product, and a 25 par cent. reduction in the output of the heaviest producers, stlll lacks con- frmation. Production continues at an unprecedented rate. The output for the ten principal Lake Superior mines for September, 1888, is reported as (equal to refined copper) 3,764 tons, against 2.466 tons for September, 1887. The same proportion of increase holds good for other sections of inc country,
