Among the passengers by the Prince
Mauritz were Ccmpt De Deloa, lieuten-
ant in the Haytien army; Prof. M. Prou-
gier, II. Swognal and Madame j. f. De
Contreras, wife of the Haytien general of
that name. The gentlemen are con-
nected with the Haytien Department of
the North, and took passage on the
French steamer for Havre this afternoon.
1t is believed they are going to France to
make strenuous efforts to interest the
French government in Haytien difficult
ties, and if possible to get that power TO
furnish man-of-war for the use of the
army of the North.
Madame De Contreras positively
refuses to talk about the purpose of hel

A BIG DEFALCATION.
Merle Goes Merrily off With
$4,000.

0OOsOOOs
CHICAGO, December 29.-A telegram
from San Francisco published here this
morning announced that Charles F. Merle,
the San Francisco agent of N. X. Fair
bank of this city, dealers in lard and
canned meats, had absconded with $780,
600 of the firms money. Fairbank had
not heard anything definite on the sub
ject, but was certain that if Merle had
absconded he could by no possibility
have taken as much as is reported. Cos.
man, of the Fairbank Company, by refer
ence to the books found it would have
been impossible for Merle to be a de.
faulter to the amount of $4,000. He
said that the amount named in the tele-
gram must of necessity be an exaggera-
tion by ten or twelve times. eI expect u
said he. "that the company is stuck for
little, but certainly not over $4,000

structed to look after our interests, and

The Haytien National Constitutional
Assembly, which had been in session
four days, after much dispute endorsed
the existing constitution, and then i'm
n.ediately proceeded to vote on the con-
frmation of the action of the Central
Revolutionary Committee in electing
Legitime President. The vote was unan-
imous, as forty of the forty-four dep
uties present were from the southern de-
partments, supporting Legitime, and the
remaining four were passengers on the
Hayt:en Republic when she was cap
tured, and were detained at the Presi-
dental Palace, where they were

A CROOKED FINN,
Perjury and other Irregularities
Alleged.

CHICAGO, December 29.-Another SEN
sation was developed this morning in the
sensational Lindauer insolvency case,
when the expert accountant testified
that the books showed that the members
of the firm had assigned substantially
everything they owned, aside from the
stock of goods which is in the hands of
the sheriff; that perjury had been COM
mitted in swearing to the amounts
assigned, the aggregate being over
$92, 900 more than alleged, which made
it tantamount to a general assignment,
which would give the County Court
jurisdiction. 1t is this jurisdiction which
the firm has been fighting.

WASHINGTON, December 29.-The Eng.

under sealed orders. 1t is understood at

believed in naval circles that England
intends to interfere with Germany. Some
officers profess to think that these ma

are most anxious to learn everything

according to recent reports another
party may have to be sent out to hunt
up the explorers. When last heard
from they were drying their clothing
and shivering on an island in the
Mediterranean Sea, 1t was all due to

UNION LABOR SPEAKING.
j. d. Rankin, Clarence Teagle And
Bill Reed on The Hastings.

There were about two hundred pc: .
sons last night to hear the union la.
Dor speakers. Mr.. VIM. Lambdin in.
troduced DR.. ]. ID. Rankin, of Lime.
stone county, candidate for floater.
DR.. Rankin wrestled away for some
time, trying to explain way the in.
consistent absurdities of the union
labor platform and figured it out that
there were only 100000 men in the
service of the Union during the last
war, whereas there were several mill.
ions. He was greatly in favor of the
government owning all the telegraph
and railroad lines, but did not ex.
plain how the government was to get
possession of ten thousand million
dollars worth of property unless by
the issuance of bonds to which the
union labor party is opposed or by
stealing this property. He was in ia
vor of the surplus being spent in hur.
rying up the bonds, even if it did
make millionaires of the land holders
by paying them exhorbitant premiums
for the lands which originally were
purchased for 50 per cent. He at.
tackled Judge Terrell and tried by US.
ing unsupported statements to con.
trovert his argument. He was fol.
lowed by Mr.. Clarence Teagle, a
young man whose beardless,
youthful tace proves that he must
have mastered the great subject Of
political economy by divine inspira.
tons, as his language shows him to
be no student. He offered no argu.
ment, but consumed his time in using
harsh terms of abuse toward the dem.
ocratic party, which he tried to make
his hearers believe was the great en-.
envy of the laboring masses. Mr.
Teagle was followed by Mr.. Herring
of Crawford, the candidate for county
clerk on the union labor ticket. MIR.
Herring's speech was the best in re.
spect to the fact that his utterances
were his own mostly. They were
fresh and not worked over like an old
boot with half sole and foxed toe
as was the case with the first two
speakers.
