the HAYTIEN 0UTRAGES
They Still Capture United
States Vessels and Brand
Them as Pirates.
Secretary Bayard Asked to Dispatch
Another Man OF War to
Port an Prince.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16. -Messenger &
Go. of Maiden lane received a letter from
the captain Of one of their vessels at
Port al Prince yesterday, and in view of
the serious nature Of the communication
they have forwarded it to the state de-
partment at Washington with a request
that Secretary Bayard order another gun
boat 10 Hayti at once. The letter states
that the northern ports are all biockaded
in open violation Of international law and
that the widest disorder prevails in Port
au Prince. The steamer Uaytien Re.
public, the letter goes On to state, was
seized as a pirate and not as a blockade
runner The Haytiens wanted to shoot
all the officers and crew, but the foreign
consuls protested against this and the
lives OF the Americans were therefore
spared. There is only one man of war
in Port au Prince and she is flying the
French flag. There are sever American
vessels now detained in this port, and
there is absolutely no defense in case the
mol should take a notion to commit
dcpredations. The schooner, William
Jones. Of Boston, was recently seized.
The Haytiens fired "A shot across the bow,
compelling her to heave TO, when they
boarded her and put the crew in irons.
They then lowed the schooner to Port au
Prince, where she is detained rs a prize.
This seizure was made seven miles out to
sea. and the captain Of the William Jones
has protested againt this illegal seizure to
Minister Thompson. Other American
vessels cannot get their clearance papers
or cargo, and those who will be permitted
10 depart will have to return 10 the
United States in ballast.

Lady Observers.

LONDON, Nov. 16.-A decided scnsa-
ton has been created in Masonic circles
throughout the United Kingdom by the
development of the fact that in a Scottish
lodge two ladies were recently secreted
by an acting past master ia a place where
they could secur a full view OF the cere-
mony of "tyling' the lodge in The third
degree. In some manner the affair leaked
out, and the grand lodge Of Scotland,
which has been sitting as q court of in
vcstigation. has just decided &c ignomia
iously expel the offender from the fra
%ternity.

4 Strong Ciacge by Judge Woods
He Hints at ghc Dudley Letter.

IHDIANAPOLIs, Nov. 15.-The federal
court grand jury met today and was COM
prehensivcly charged by Judge Woods.
lie referred at length to the charges of
bribery made by the press OF the state in
connection with the recent election, and
ordered the jury TO make a thorough in
v~cstigatlon into every case brought before
them. He referred To the Dudley letter
by the strongest possible implication, say
ing that, while a man could not conspire
with himself to brihc electors, he could
be guilty 81 conspiracy in advising others
10 bride them. He said:
! have already stated that it was a viola
ton Of section j,5ll Of The federal statutes
for auy one TO counsel or advise bribery. Or

tiucd To tho e committed in Indiana, the ter
ritory comprising the judicial district, but
under section 13l OF the United States re-
vised statutes any violation beginning In one
state or district, but by mail, messenger. or
other agency, Is continued into another, may
be prosecuted In either. ] therefore say TO
you that If any fraud OF such q character be
brought to your attention and sustained by
proper proof, 1t will be you duty to indict. 1t
would be impossible fox me to call your atten-
in detail to the numerous individual cleo
ton violations Of which there has been
much rumor In the past few days,
but there IS one Of which feel it my
duty 10 speak. A prominent man in oae of
cur great parties has been charged ia the
public prints and on the streets with a crime
against fair elections, which II true is most
widespread and terrible in its efforts. Indi-
vidual otfenscs should Of course be given
proper attention, but since election violations
become insignificant as compared with the
outrageous influences contemplated by the
scheme under consideration, | therefore es-
p~eclally Instruct you that if these public
charges be sufficiently sustained in your
presence, after the most searching inquiry,
you indict the offender without delay. You
should In these matters free YOU minds ab.
~eolutely from partisan bias and proceed to
the performance Of your duty without fear or
favor

Saying this, the lanGlady fetched a NUM-
