New YoRK, July LA correspondent
at Port Au Prince, under date of june
20, sends the following in regard To
Haytian affairs;
Matters are going to an extreme in
Hayti, for Legitimc is arming women
and placing them in the ranks. He is
iesortins to everything possible to
strengthen his position, which is iaf
stronger than currently reported.
The Kearsage had n rough passage
south, but managed throughout to keen
great gun drills and small arm practice
going. The corvetta first made Cape
Haytien in the Province OF the North,
From this place she speeded TO Port All
Prince To observe Legitime's doings. On
arriving at this place all tile Haytian
flags, as well as foreign flags, were found
To be at half mast In respect 10 the mem.
ory OF Legitime's mother.in.law, who
had died the day previous. The only
Haytian man.of.war in port was tho
Dessalines. In the city everything was
found 10 be quiet.
0ne.half OF the garrison was found I'd
be constantly in arms, with the other
half always ready 10 seize their weapons
and fall in. Legitime's troops were not
In complete uniform, but all had somd
mark TO show their calling. In some
cases 1t was Captains cap with red
band, again an electric blue or gray coat
or, perhaps, a striped pair Of trousers ol
any color. The garrison Of Port.auI
Prince is quartered throughout the city
In large buildings, no tents being pro!
vided. High up tue rayine to the rear
and above the town, is an extensive forti!
lication, armed with several pieces Of
artillery and manned by some 500 men!
From an observation OF the environs OIL
the city through glass every peak and
prominent position Is found fortified
and though Quaker guns are mounted
on not few Of the earth works, thd
whole system OF defense renders Legi.
times position a astrongone.
Yellow fever Is prevailing, though not
10 an alarming extent. II Is even said
that many Of the supposed cases are not
contagious. People, however, are dyind
In all sorts OF outof.the-way places, and
daily rounds OF the men are sent out
with carts To find the dead. The bodies
gathered in by day arc all buried in tlld
same hole, no seinblanCe OF funeral
Service being given.

They also matured plans under which
an extensive and complete series Of sta
tistlGs OF trade and potteries will be Com-
piled for the union.
A discussion was had as between the
difference In the cost Of production
East and West, and 1t was decided that
whatever there was IeIulIed to the adj
vantage Of the East,
The subject Of tho attitude OF the
union towards the so-called labor saving
machinery and appliances, was COM
sidered, and declared TO be In favor OF
progressive ideas and machinery when

In fact; but that they thought that fire.
Quently they were far from being to
either side the advantage claimed for
them,
They discussed aud considered the
subieci OF the attempted pottery trust,
and thought that its existence would be
the greatest possible blow to the present
pottery tariff. In this connection they
passed the following resolution:

After the opening the preliminary re.

OF the convention is extremely retiCent
as to the condition Of this report, aud
only say that 1t occupied considerable
time, aud that there was a long discus
sion over 1t. Tho business occupied al.
most the entire morning session. From
q delegate, however, 1t is learned that
there were many exceptions taken 10
the report. The informant would
not qualify this statement further
than TO say that several delegates took
exceptions to President Campbell's pol
Icy In receiving the foreign workers now
at Jeanette, In this regard President
Campbell has many times stated his po-
sition. II is said that the men were
given regular clearance cards at their
home associations abroad, and that the
American associations could do nothing
else than receive them here, Before
this business was concluded the matter
was deferred for further consideration,
aud the outcome OF the controversy
which is said 10 exist in the convention
on this subject is still matter Of con.

1t Is said, however, that there are
enough delegates who favor President
Campbells action to bring about an en-
