A SPECk OF WAR.
An American Cruiser to Be Sent at Once
 to Hayti.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-The situation ot affairs in Hayti, according to reports received at the department of state, has assumed so serious phase that it has been decided to send naval vessel to that country for the protection of American interests.

4 Government Clerks Heroism.

A very interesting letter could be written upon the heroism in the clerical service of the government. heard of a case recently which is striking instance of generosity in low1y places. A clerk in the treasury de- partment who had been there from twenty to thirty years, found himself attacked with what is called pen paralysis. a soreness in the muscles of the wrist, which threatens to bring about crippled condition of the nerves unless relief is given to the muscles which have become affected by. excessive labor with the pen. Thereupon the clerk, though he was man of 50 years of age, took his left hand, and, by practicing at nights, made it do the work of the right hand, a per formance which few persons could success fully carry out. About that time fellow clerk was taken ill, and was liable to be re moved from the service for having his labor go behind. The clerk who had just learned to write with his left hand turned in at nights and carried the books of his friend, doing the full service of two clerks, so that no complaint could be made in the prolonged absence of the invalid, who in the course of time recovered and came back to his desk, having subsisted in the meantime upon the salary earned for him by another, who would take no pay for his labor-'Gath's" Wash ington Letter ill Cincinnati Enquirer

THOSE IcEBoUND WHALERs.
The Thetis Ordered to Their Relief, but It
 May Be Too Late,

May Be Too Late.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Acting Secretary Thompson, of the treasury department, yes terday received O dispatch from Senator Hearst, Congressman Morrow and other prominent citizens of San Francisco, calling his attention to the condition of the thirteen whalers and their crews of perhaps 500 men, reported to be icebound in the Arctic ocean, near Herald Isl&kd, and asking the depart ment to send the revenue cutter Bear to their assistance. Secretary Thompson submitted the matter to the president, who at once di- rected the navy department to send vessel to their relief. Unfortunately the Bear is out of commission and cannot be sent, and the Thetis, the only vessel available on the Pacific coast, is now cruising in the vicinity of Sitka, and it may be several weeks, or toe late in the season to start vessel for the Arctic regions, before word can be gotten tc the Thetis. Altogether, the prospects seem not encouraging for rendering aid to the un- fortunate whalers.

The officials at the foreign office are reticent as to the presumed action of the premier in the matter, but unhesitatingly ridicule the report that Lord Sackville will be succeeded by Sir Charles Tupper.
