THE MAN OF DESTINY.
Nobody Found to Contest the Seine Eleo-
ton With Bou;anRer

PARIS, December th-The Cabinet is ex-
periencing the utmost difficulty in the selec-
tion of a candidate to succeed the late
NJ. Hude in the Chamber of Deputies for
the Department of the Seine. NJ. Va
guerie, first named as candidate, has
abandoned the idea of contesting the seat upon
the suggestion of NJ Floquet, who deemed his
candidacy unwise, not to say risky. As yet no
one has been found willing to try conclusions
with the "Man of Destiny"
Meanwhile Boulanger and his friends are
making preparations for the contest. The Gen
eral has written letter resignIng his seat for
the Department of Nord. though he has not yet
presented it. He makes a strong bid for the
support of the Conservatives by announcing
that If he should ever be elected President OF
the Republic he will at once rescind the decree
exiling the Orleans Princes. If the Comte dc
Paris should support Boulanger's candidacy his
election will be made almost certain.

THEY WANT DIVISION
The Drift of Public Sentiment en- u
Diyisfpu of DaEota


ST. PAUL, December 30th.-A vote has been
taken by the Deadwood, Oak, paper on the
question Of single or double Statehood, and it is
shown that a little more than fiye-sixths of
those answering are in favor of division and
admission as two States. The answers received
are from yirious parts of Southern Dakota, and
those voting are of all occup ations and all polit
ical faiths.
This vote is believed to be a fair representa-
tion OF public sentiment on the matter, which is
daily growing stronger. 1t is generally believed
that division and admission are simply ques-
tions of time, and while waiting the outcome
with considerable anxiety the people have al
ready begun TO look after the prizes to be Sc
cured when two new States are introduced.
Every move at the national capital is watched
for eagerly, while a number OF Dakota towns
are looking after their fences, and generally
brushing up, in the hope that they may become
seats of government While few towns are
especially anxious to secure that plum, all are
united in efforts to bring settlers into the soon
to-be States

New YORK, December 3Oth.-The following is
translation of an extract from La VERT of De-
cember 22d, paper published at Port-au- Prince:
ION Tuesday morning the population of this
city was surprised to see an American naval
vessel enter the inner harbor. She entered
without a pilot on board, or making COM
munication with the land, nor did she fire
the usual salute. She Immediately steamed
alongside the Haytian Republic and put gar
rison of lnen on board. At the same time an
other United States naval vessel lay in the outer
harbor. This conduct of the Americans sur
passes ali possible attempts at explanation

should offer to us outrages and insult especially
that OF the United States. We have confidence
that the humiliation will not be visited upon us
