KINGSTON, Jamaica, Dec. 15.-The
Haytiens are in state of terror at the
rumor that United States war vessels
are on their way to demand the release
of the seized steamer Haytien Repub-
lie. The government dare not fight,
and they fear that to surrender the
vessel in open port at the demand of a
foreign man-of-war would make them
unpopular and weaken their authority
at home, hence they have decided upon
very shrewd move. The Atlas line
steamer Alene, Captain Seiders, which
arrived from New York last night,
brought with her a crew under con-
tract with Minister Preston. They
will sail for Port au Prince at mid
night on the steamer Arran, also
of the Atlas line, which has been
chartered for the occasion and will
take possion of the steamer Haytien
Republic on Sunday. They will then
leave Immediately for New York be-
fore the American men of war arrive,
Chief Officer Williams of the Alene will
command the returning vessel. The
Atlas company have contracted with
Ministe rPreston TO deliver the Haytien
Republic at New York ard they hope
to accomplish it in this way. Hayti
thus expects to be spared the disgrace
of being compelled to deliver the YES
sci on the demand of foreign man of
war. The government also hopes to
escape the payment indemnity. 1t is
a great scheme,

CHICAGO, Dee. I4.-When President
Strong, of the AtchIson. Topeka and
Santa Fe, was in Chicago about two
weeks ago he submitted to the presi-
dents of the various roads a plau for
the temporary agreement. 1t is de-
signed to secure an abeolute main
tenance of rates for q period of sixty
days, commencing January l. The
idea being to keep rates up to paying
basis during the busy winter season or
until such time as the financial rumors
Of the roads are ready to spring their
next big scheme. The unusual feature
of the plan is provision that if any
subordinate officer of any road that is
party to the agreement shall be found
guilty of cutting rates he will
be promptly Invested of the rate
making power. The question of guilt
mess i'll such cases is to be decided, by a
majority vote of the presidents. The
agreement, of course, will not be put
into effect without the unanimous
assent of the roads interested, and
there is considerable doubt as to
whether they can all be brought into
one. Thus far the agreement has been
signed only by the presidents of the
Atchison, Rock Island, the Northwest
ern, and the Burlington & Quincy.
The plan was submitted to President
Blackstone, of the Alton, and while he
has not absolutely refused to sign it,
there is an impression that he will re-
fuse and such an agreement would not
amount to much without the co-opera-
ton Of the Alton. and then the chances
seems that it will not be put into opera

Passed a Quiet pay.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 14.-Genera
Harrison and Mr.. Morton passed
rather quiet day. They did not have
very large number of callers at the
house to-day, doubtless owing to the
fact that it was understood the public
would have an opportunity of seeing
them togeather tonight at the public
reception. The president-eIect put in
the morning at his desk debating let
tiers and Mr.. Morton remained in his
room good share of the morning feel
ing somewhat indIspOsed on account
of his sore throat. About 4 O'Clock
General Harrison and Mr.. Morton
went out for short walk. They did
not come down town and were gone
scarcely half an hour.
For time this afternoon General
HarriSon's house was besieged by the
newspaper correspondents who were in
fiutter of excitement over a report
published in New York this morning to
the effect that Mr.. Blaine had been Of
fered, and had accepted, the state port
folio. Efforts on the part of the cor
respondents to seduce General Harri-
son to talk on this subject proved fiat
failure. Immediately after his cleo
tion General Harrison caused il to be
known to the press representatives
that he would neither affirm or
deny any newspaper TumorS
or stories regarding himself or what he
proposed to do. He has observed this
rule with d tenacity and rIgidity that
eminently characteriZes his disposition,
and when appealed to on the ground of
it's extraordinary nature to give some
expressions regarding the Blaine re-
ports he replied with considerable en-
phasiZeS, ''It makes no difference what
is the nature of the report or through

Waged on that Issue.

Hands of the MahdI.
L: keview Anarchists Appeal to the

MONTREAL, Dec. 1.-THE publica-
ton here of the resolution introduced
by Mr.. Butterworth has had startling
effect. Everybody is discussing it and
everybody is looking forward anxious
ly as to what course the senate and
house of representatives will pursue.
Never since the famous annexation
manifesto of fifty years ago has there
been such an expression of public feel
ing as during the past two months.
Annexation is almost the sole topic
in political circles. but it was regarded
simply as a growing issue, and not one
to be Immediately dealt with. Com
mercial union and unrestricted recip
rOcIty were recognized as convenient
synonyms for the more expressive
term. Now the Butte-worth resolu-
tion is regarded as bringing the matter
to a focus.
A leading commercial union member
of parliament told reporter that I'M
doubtedlv the issue at the next general
election would be annexation and
that it is an open secret that it would
be the leading plank in the liberal
platform. Butterworth' resolution
had put different phase on the ques-
ton. He did not think it would pass
b,.th houses without a good deal of
delay.

Double Murder.

SAN BERNARDINo, Cal, Dec. H.
Two strangers entered the San Bsr-
nardino National bank this morning.
One of them presented check and
asked that it be cashed. E. H. Morse,
the cashier, told him he would have to
DE identified. Some words followed,
when the stranger drew revolver ana
shot Morse through the body. The lat
ter returned the fire and put two balls
into his assailant. Six or seven shots
were fired in all. The two strangers
ran, but were arrested and lodged in
Jail. 1t is thought Morse and his as
sailant both will die. 1t is believed the
men entered the bank with the design
of robbery.
Cashier Morse died half an hour
after the shooting. The man who did
the shooting gives the name of John
Cakes, but refuses to talk. 1t is said
that third man who has not been ar
rested was seen by the side door of
the bank while the shooting was going
on. Cakes was shot in the arm the
ear and back, but it is believed his
wounds are not serious.
Later Investigations of the tragedy
in the National bank here this morn
ing which resulted in the death of Z.
II. Morse, cashier, shows that John
Cakes who did the shooting had been
wOrkingOn the railroad here about a
month. His companion was a deputy
sheriff from Arizona, but there is no
reason to believe that Collier had any
thing to do with the shooting. Cakes
went into the bank and asked to have
a check cashed. He was told he would
have to be- identified. When he
presented the check this morning
Cashier Morse told him he would not
cash the check until he was properly
identified. Cakes said: IN make
you" and fired Immediately. Morse
returned the fire and nine shots were
exchanged. Morse was shot through
the lungs and died in a short time.
Cakes wound is not serious. When
Cakes was arrested letters were found
on him showing he had recently been
in an insane asylum in Nevada.
Physicians who examined him pro-
nounced him insane at the time of the
shooting. Morse was a popular man in
the community and great excitement

10 o'clock this morning a fire occurred
in A. M. Sweeny's mattress and furni-

rear of the shop, and accidentally
brought handful of jute in contact

flame The floor was Uttered with jute
and other inflammable material. A
renovating machine was in the room,
and as the flames met the vapor an eX-

horribly burned. Sweeny and Carr
cannot live; besides being badly
burned they inhaled the flames. Ma

Aftar nnium smnrrIara


ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 16.-The
Pioneer Press this morning pub
iished the following: The United
States secret service officers here are on
the track of gigantic opium smuggling
conspiracy. They have learned that an
organized and well equipped band of
smugglers has for years been operating
across the northwestern border, bring
ing into the state the costly and high
fairfield drug. One of the gang was ar
rested recently at Denver, Colorado,
and he made full confession. Acting
on the information given hun the dep
uty collector at st. Vincent, MinnnSO-
ia went west to a point on the Dakota
line on Wednesday last and intercepted
a wagon load of eight hundred pounds
Of opium in the crude form The
opium in the wagon was concealed I'M
der layer of buffalo hides. The whole
outfit was seized and the driver of the
wagon arrested. Two government de-
tectiyes left st. Paul for the
north last night whittier they
are after the man to whom the opium
was consigned. He is waiting at some
small town in the Red River valley for
the arrival of the stuff, and will prob
ably be in the clutches of the law be-
fore tonight. When his arrest is made
they will have the leader of the gang
and according to reports one of the
smartest and most dangerous of bor-
der outlaws. The authorities here
maintain absolute silence when asked
for the full details of the important
discovery, but do not deny the story
OF the arrest at Denver and the subse-
quent seizure at st. Vincent. They
freely admit the existence of SNUG
Cling conspiracy, but will go no further.

Dun,s Weakly Review of Trade.

NEW YORK, Dec. AR. G. Dun &
Co.'S Review of Trade says:
The most important event of the
week in the financial world, the fail
ure of the Panama canal, has not as
yet been felt in this country. The
amount of securities held here is not
large and there is general belief that
the French government will be obliged
to do something to avert the wide
spread disaster, but it can do nothing
to make permanently and valuable the
vast amount of securities issued, and
the heavy French losses will in time
have some effect on the money markets
elsewhere.
The supply of money in all parts of
the country is so large and the heavy
disbursements of January are so near
at hand, that there is an unusual feel
ing of confidence. The bank clearings
for the first week of December exceed
those of last year by 16 per cent, which
implies large volume of present bus
mess. The gains outside of New York
include even southern sections in
| which there has been the most depres-
sion, and reports from Memphis still
| indicate no Improvement. Cotton re-
| turns for Arkansas and Mississippi
being unfayorable.
Throughout the northwest an i'm
provement is felt, except at few
points where wild speculation and
over trading last year did the mis-
chief.
In hardware some disposition to
| purchase, in expectation of higher
/ prices, is noticed. at Cleveland the
| cutting of rail rates demoraliZes bust
ness at Denver and doubtless embar-
rases many other points, but the gen.
eral tenorof reports Is decidedly favor
able. The furnaces in blast were of
the capacity of 1923 tons
| weekly according to the New
| York report and 139, 2S2
tons according to the Pittsburg report.
Taking the former as a maximum and
the increase in November was about
8, 0Oo.tons, and the production is either
| little larger or little smaller than
the largest ever attained at November,
| 1887. Rails are SAID to have been at
$3.50 with Pittsburg mills. The vol
ume of production IS on the whole in
creasing.
| Wheat has advanced II cents on small
speculative transactions, exports to the
| continent having reached 3OO.O 900
bushels with none to Great Britain.
Corn and oats have declined each
and pork is D cents lower, and lard a
quarter lower.
Cotton has been steady. A Memphis
| circular now estimates the yield at CO.
coo bales.
Coffee has has declined and oil has
risen cents. The general average for
all commodities is about one per cent
lower than week ago and slightly be-
low the level of November.
q In the stock market there has been
hesitation though the average of prices
is 35 cents on the 500 better than q
week ago. It is remarkable on the
whole, that with disheartening contro-
yersies, and with continuing sales on
foreign account, the market has been
SO well sustained.
Foreign trade Is fair in volume.
The treasury has put out 8, 100, 0OC
more than it has taken in during the
past week, thus supplying the loss
O8used by gold exports.
The business failures the last sever
days number BOB. as compared with 30
; last week and 232 the week previous
: and for the corresponding week OF las
D | year the figures were 283.
