Lake by Detectives.

BIRMINGHAM ALA, Dec. l5.-The
body of Irene Halves, second daughter
of Dick Halves, was found III the lake at
Lake View at 1920 CLOCK this morning
by Detective Robbins. The water had
been drained until it was only foot or
two deep. The child wore IL small slip
that half covered the body; and Il hemp
cord fastened two heavy fish plates;
weighing thirty pounds each, to the babe &.
The body was badly decomposed, but was
ut once identified by james Halves
Dick S brother, as that of the dead Irene e.
The child was found about twenty feet
from where Mrs. Halves body was con-
cealed.
The find caused no excitement, as the
people had expected for week it would
be found near where the mothers body
was discovered.
When told that the body of his other
missing child had been found Halves had
nothing to say except to ask in an indif-
ferent sort of way, where it was. He
then refused to answer any questions

WASHINGTON, Dec. l5.-The Atlas,
steamer, sailed to-day from this port
bound for Port au Prince. RumOrs that
she carried, besides general cargo, sew
eral hundred thousand ball cartridges for
the Haytien government could not be
officially verified. 1t was stated at the
Office of the agents of the line, PIN,
Forward & Co. they could not yet tell
the nature of her cargo until her sailing
papers had been closed and received.
The Haytien minister, Preston, also
could not say positively that the steamer
carried any ammunition for his govern
ment, but thought it very likely she did.
From another source it is learned, how
ever, that in addition to her cargo of
cartridges she carried about 1000 VIM
chester and Remington rifles, consigned
by manufacturing firm in this city to
the Haytien government.
Minister Preston this. morning posi-
lively refused to either affirm or deny the
report telegraphed from Jamaica last
night to the effect that crew under con-
tract with him to take possession of the
seized steamer, Haytieni Republic, had
arrived at Kingston. The report is, how
ever, credited in shipping circles, and Is
looked upon as wise movement of the
Haytien minister. 1t is argued this crew
will at once be sent to Port au Prince and
be placed Immediately on the
Haytien Republic. The vessel will
then be headed for New York,
where she will arrive, barring ac-
cidents, before the American vessels
Galena and Yantic can reach Hayti.

alive to the suppression of the East Afrl-

which were current among those who be-
lieved Germany would never stir foot
nor spend penny directly or indirectly
to assist the East Africa Company over
its straits Though suppression of slavery
was ostensibly the object of the motion,
its real aim was simply to elicit the sense
of the nation concerning the commercial
and political future of the East Africa
Company and to provide basis
for further government action. 1t is
an open secret that Prince Bismarck
was reluctant to embark in a spirited
colonial policy until the nation should
have clearly expressed its will in the
matter. This has never been done i'll Il
manner so decided as to render the

debate marks an important development

clared in favor of progressive action, and
completely dispelled the illusion that Ger

to safe guard her imperilled positions On
