About Washington.

Action has been taken by Secretary Whit
ney which leaves no doubt as to the policy of
of this government with regard to the case
of the American steamer Haytian Republic,
recently seized at Port an Prince, Hayti.
The release of the vessel has been demanded
through proper diplomatic channels, and if
the demand is not complied with within q
reasonable period oftime steps will be taken
to enforce it. With this end in view, Secretary
Whitney sent telegraphic instructions to
Rear Admiral Gerhardi, commandment of
the New York navy yard, to have the ships
Richmond, Galena and Yantic prepared for
sea as rapidly as possible. The position
taken by this government is understood to
be that as the Haytian authorities deferred
the arbitration of the case to this govern
mont, they are virtually bound by it's decis-
ion, and that when they were informed by
this government that they had no legal right
to seize and detain the Haytian Republic they
should have accepted the situation and re-
leased the vessel.

Mrs. Kate Chase has almost drop

last few years. She is still as brilliant
in conversation, sas beautiful in man
ners, and e1quisitely cultivated as
in the old days when she was the
proud daughter of the chief justice
of the United States, the unrivaled
queen of Washington society, whose
good word was a passport to social
recognition. Her ambitious mar

to the animal creation, that unhap-

result of such a union.

between the two nations under one govern
ment; and whereas, the bonds of sympathy
resulting from kinship, race, language ira
dItlon and substantial identity of govern
mental systems, together with community
OF interests, based upon commerce and its
aids and agencies, are of such character
that such union and assimilation is being
discussed and favorably considered by the
citizens of both nations, and inasmuch as it
is believed that its early consummation
would be of great advantage to all citizens
and subjects of the two countries, provided
the same can be attained in manner con-
sistent alike with the honor and dignity of
the United States and Great Britain and the
Dominion of Canada. Therefore, with a
view to aid in the consumm alton of what is
herein before suggested, be it.
Resolved, That the president be and is
hereby authorized and empowered to invite
negotiations looking to the assimilation and
unity OF the people OF the Dominion of Cana
da and the United States under one govern
ment, such unity and assimilation to be
based upon the admission of the several
provinces OF the dominion or any one of them
into the union of states upon the same terms
and equality with the states now composing
the union, and the assumption by the United
States of the Indebtedness of the Dominion
OF Canada, or a just proposition thereof. and
such other equitable terms and conditions
as justice to the high contracting parties
may demand.
Resolved. That, with a view to such negotia-
ton, the president invite the appointment
of commissioners by the government OF
Great Britain and the Dominion of Canada
to consider the wisdom and expediency of
settling all controversies and difference which
now exist between the two governments,
growing out of the fisheries or otherwise by
such union and assimilation as is herein
before suggested, either as to the whole or
any province of several provinces of said
dominion, such negotiations to be conducted
with due regard to the amicable relations
which obtain between Great Britain and the
United States and the obligations imposed
thereby.

Outrages of Ohio White Cans.

Fresh outrages on the part of masked men
in the vicinity of Toledo show that the White
Caps are organized and working to a pur-
pose. man named Martin, living few
miles from Bowling Green, Wood county, re-
5ceived notice early in the week that if he did
would meet punishment at the hands of
'sWood county vigilantes. Martin paid no
attention to the notice, and one evening, as
he started for home in an intoxicated condi-
tion he was seized by band of masked men
and taken into the woods. A rope was tied
around his neck and one end thrown over a
limb. He began to pray. Twice the men cut
the prayer short by drawing their victim up
until he dangled in the air Then they strip
ped him. tied him to a tree and applied beech
switches until his back was a mass of bleed
ing fash His clothes were then replaced
and he was taken home, where he now lies
sick. A few nights ago a man named Miller,
living at Liepsic received a notice similar to
the one sent Martin He paid no attention
to it, thinkinglt was a practical joke by
some of his neighbors but learned of his mis-
take too late: He was visited early in the
week by White Caps, taken from the house
and numerically dashed. At Fostoria, no
tices were posted a week ago, and when they
we're torn down by those to whom they were
directed, others were sent. General notices,
addressed ITO Whom 1t May Concern were
ter's residences, and the yards of other
prominent citizens. For ten days the things
we're regarded as a great hoax, and every
one ridiculed the idea OF White Caps visiting
Fostoria. Recently a band of men mounted
| and equipped in White Cap outfit dashed
| through the town. An attempt was made
to follow them, but they scattered and We're

Scheme for Settlers.

The Agricultural Press Association has a
novel scheme in view. The association is
composed of the New England Farmer of
Boston, the Farm journal of Philadelphia.
the Ohio Farmer of Cleveland, Ohio, the In.
diana Farmer of Indianapolis, the Rural
World OF Montana. the Western Rural of
chicago, the Orange Judd Farmer ofChicago,
The Western Farmer of Madison, Wis The
Hon. Norman j Coleman is president of the
association, and its papers claim to have
2,50O, 900 reader. A bill drawn by the assoc
,iation presented in the senate by SENATOR
Plumb accompanied by a petition gives the
details ola plan ofsome originality and proba-
Bile success in the way of establishing trade
renter for settlers In an entirely unsettled
fountry. A portion of the great northern
reservation of Montana, thrown open by
the agreements ratified by congress last SEES
sion, lies along the line OF the St. Paul &
Minneapolis 4 Manitoba, and for 400 miles
in the Milk river district there are no towns
or villages. The association represents that
as five years residence is required to settlers
before they get their lands, it is highly de-
sirable that a trade center should be estab-
lished The bill authorizes the secretary of
the interior to sell to the association one sec
ton of land at $1.25 per acre on which a
town may be laid out. and that the govern
ment then establish thereon q United States
land office, the district to include oil the
lands thrown open to settlement.
