A Minister'S Former Congregation Gets
Killed and FOrcibly Eject Him.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. Is. There was
an exciting scene in the Congregational
church at New Preston, Conn, last Sunday.
For some time there has been bad feeling
between Rev. G. II. Childs, the pastor of the
church, and Rev. Henry Epson, who was
MIR. Childs' predecessor as pastor, but who
now teaches school in the town. On Sunday
as Mr.. Childs was about to commence his
sermon Mr. Epson assembled the pulpit,
caught Mr.. Childs by the arm and said:
'You shall not talk to these people until you
apologize for your conduct toward me.
am one OF your congregation and demand
an explanation" He then denounced Mr..
Childs in very severe terms, and charged
that he had attempted to ruin his, Upson's,
business and depreciate his character in the
community. For moment the congrega.
ton was dumfounded. Finally a dozen
young men rushed forward and forcibly
pulled the excited Mr.. Epson from the pull
pit, and removed him from the church.

lord SaclSVille.

New York, Nov. 1.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent telc5raphs as fol-
lows:
There is the highest authority for the
statement that an effort is being made TO
secure the reappointment Of Lord Sickville
as minister to this country when the Harri-
son administration comes into power. The
argument in favor OF the movement is that
the British minister was sacrificed to meet Ii
political exigency; that the magnitude OF his
offense was greatly exaggerated by reason
OF the political conditions, as they existed at
the time, and the deliberate judgmen mt Of the
American people, after the matter shall
have been dispasslonately looked AT, will be
favorable to his reappointment.
1t is not known that Lord Sackville is a
party to this scheme, but certain Of his
friends have interested themselves in the
matter, with what success can only be con

WASHINGTON, Nov, 15.-George o. Jones,

ing of the future of the two great parties,
says:
1.-THE Democratic party win so to pieces
and there will be a reorganization. / doubt
if Harrison will lie able to hold his party
together. 1t would be the best thing if both
parties were to break up, so we could get
away from this eternal sectional issue. The
people Of the south hate the Republican
party, and the people OF the north hate the
Democratic party and so it goes. Washing.
ton pointed out just the danger we have he
fore us at this moment.
''If the sections are to be forever arrayed
against each other might not foreign
power some day join one or the other Of
two sections and break up the Republics We
must in some way get the sectional question
out of sight, and in order to do so we must
arouse the public mind to the Importance OF
certain great economic questions. We pro-
duce seven-tenths of the cotton OF the world,
but England comes with her ships and takes
our cotton to her own mills, there manufac-
lures it and then sends it abroad, again
using her own ships
TT makes the second largest industry of
England. What we want is to revive our
merchant marine and do some OF this ship
ping ourselves Nine men out OF ten in the
United States will tell you they are in favor
of this, but still no steps are taken to accom-
plish the desired end. There is room here
for great improvement"

THE REPUBLIC OF AAYTI.
Her Recent Action Likely to Bring Her
Into Public Notice.

Into Public Notice.
Nxw York, Nov. l5-There is possibil-
~ Of the island OF Hayti coming into inter
ssting public notice before long, and Of her
straining her relations with the United
States 20 disagreeable degree. The Ameri-
can steam sloop Kearsage has been ordered
to Port-au- Prince to take care of our inter-
ests there. Il appears that there is an insur-
rection on hand, and that the Haytian rulers
have seizsd some American ships on the
ground that they took arms TO the 'srebels. y
This state OF affairs induced Secretary Bay
ard to send TO the black and tan republic the
famous naval cruiser that destroyed the Ala
banna.
Hayti IS one of the richest and most utter
esting islands In the world President Grant
attempted to annex the San Domingo end
Of II but he was opposed by Senators
Schurz, Sumner and other great statesmen.
1t was Grants scheme of annexation, and it
was an administration measure-a hint at
what was TO becoms great question with
Americans seventeen years later, when now
we talk, as Sherman does Of a union of all
North American and Central American
states In 1871 congress sent a commission
to the island. They concluded that we didn't
want HayIi il we had to take the people
along with the bargain.
Hayti was settled in 1895, soon after Co.
lumbus discovered it. It was divided be-
tween the French and Spanish, the former
taking the half called Hayti and the latter
the half called San Domingo. Wars between
the two governments have been constant,
and always will be so probably. Each of
the two republics is not more than 200 miles
in length, and each has its president and
congress of representatives. The people are
whites, blacks and all grades Of color be,
tween them.
The late difficulty appears to have grown
out of the fact that the Haytian authorities
declared blockade of the ports held by the
insurgents without giving other govern.
ments the notice required by international
law. The British schooner Alta sailed from
New York October 10 with cargo largely
composed Of arms and other munitions of
war, which were supposed by the firm that
furnished them to be designed for Venezuela

When the Haytians found that she had on
board 1876 boxes of rifles and corresponding

began vigorous hunt among other vessels

The offense charged against this vessel was
that Of carrying some armed insurgents
from one port to another Other American
vessels were put under an annoying surveil-
lance. Hence tina dispatch Of the kearsage
