In his opening speech the emperor said that
Germany's foreign relations were friendly.

NEW YoRK, Jan 15-Thsre Is . runaox
current down town that an agento of the Hay
tian insurgents has been visiting the South
street shipping firms for tbs purpose Of nego-
tiating for the purchase of vessels
1t is said that he has called at the MARI
time Exchange and consulted the official reg
ister there, but that he did not make him
self known to the superintendent. and there
was nothing about him which would indi-
cate TO the casual observer that he was
representative of Gen. Hippolyte.
1t is a fact well knowa on South street that
the owners of several old and practically un-
seaworthy vessels are awaiting opportunities
to make advantageous sales Capt. Jason
Burlingame, an old mariner and frequenter
of the Maritime Exchange, said:
''It makes little difference to these anxious
owners who buy their old tubs 50 long as the
purchasers have ready money. The Haytian
insurgents seem TO have a liberal supply of
money with which TO carry on their warfare
against Gen. Legitime, and suspect that a
large proportion of the funds are contributed
by the New York merchants interested in
our commercial relations with Hayti."
