DISCUSSING TEMPERANCE MEASURES.
VISIT OF CHAIRMEN BLISS AND KNAPP TO
ALBANY-A REPUBLICAN CAUCUS
ARRANGED.

Albany Feb 6 SpeciaD.-The Capitol visited
to-day by Cornelius y. Bliss, of New-YOrl, chairman
Of the Republican State Committee, and by General
John " Knapp, of Auburn, chairman Of the Executive
Committee Of the same committee. There was gen
eral opinion that they had come to Albany TO gain
knowledge of the situation regarding temperance
legislation. General Knapp increased the suspicion
during the day by remarking that the hquorshops
were the strongholds of the Democratic party, and
that any bill which would reduce the number of the
lquor-shops would therefore weaken that party
Mr. Knapp also invited leading Republican members
to visit Mr. Bliss and himself at their room at the
Delcvan House in the afternoon.
Mr. Knapp acknowledged that he had come TO Al
bany 10 learn the attitude Of the leading Republican
members toward the various excise bills He quickly
discovered that the Republican members differed in
opinion regarding these bills. Speaker Cole informed
him that the differences 50 great that it had
been decided to hold a caucus on Tuesday evening
next to endeavor to reach agreement on some one
of the excise bills.
Mr. Knapp and Mr.. Bliss Thought that this method
would be an excellent TO use In reaching some con-
cluslon In the matter Mr. Bliss, upon learning that
a caucus would be held, departed for NewYork by the
afternoon train but General Knapp remained here
until late tonight, when he left Albany for Auburn
Neither of them showed any preference while here
for any special excise measure. Their sole thought
seemed to be that the temperance bill should be selected
which would best represent the ideas OF the Republican
party.
1t IS believed that wise choice Of temperance
measure will lie made in the caucus. General n NJ.

WRONG IMPRESSIONS ABOUT HAYr.

Philadelphia Feb. (SpecaD.-Count a. II. Lennox
asked this afternoon about the dispatch in New
York paper to-day to the effect that thirteen Cen
erals had been captured and shot in Hayti said :
There is little authenticity in the news The re-
ports were spread by j. Hausedt, the representative
of Hvppolte in New-York who was, by tho way, for
mery the representative Of the Government
when Solomon was in control Tho ConsulGenera
did not deny that engagement might have occurred
but stated that according to his knowledge the &C
count Of the affair had been badly garblcd.
Count LennoX confirmed the rumor that the Eng
fish steamship Wen ,leydac had cleared from this port
with munitions of war for Hyppollte as part of her
cargo The vessel, on her way there, stopped al
New York and secretly took supply of guns and
ammunition This fact became known to Minister
Preston. but not until tho Wenslcydale had sailed
Tho latter Immediately sent word to this city, and
Vigorous effort was made by Count LenuOx locate
the vessel but tho search unsuccessful, even with
the aid of a well known detective agency, until the
steamer had shipped cargo of coal and had started
on her outward bound trip.
In speaking OF the report that England had recog-
nIzed the LcgltImo Government and that France
would soon do So Count LennoX said that displayed
lamcntable ignorance on somebody's part The
HavtIans he pointed out gained control Of the island
by Issuing bonds, which were bought In By France.
The success Of the Insurgents means tho reputation
of these bonds It not probable then, that France
would throw rs money aW2y by recognizing any other

A COSTLY CONTRACT FOR TIE CREEKS.


Washington, Feb SpcciaD.-The message sent by
the President 10 Congress yesterday in which he recon-
mends the ratification Of the agreement with the
Creek Indians by which they are to part with
400 900 acres Of their land at 05 cents an acre Is
exciting surprise in certain quarters in view Of
the fact that there IS file in the Interior De
partment a contract between l.. c. Perrman, the
present president OF the Creek Nation, and Samuel j.
Crawford, Ex-Governor Of Kansas, now an attorney
I'm this city, by the terms of which 10 per cent OF all
money received by the Creeks for their land shall 20
10 Crawford as a commission. 1t does not appear
what this money Is TO be paid to Crawford for nor
what services he is supposed to have rendered On
the face of It It looks II the Creeks were TO DO de
prived of nearly $4,000 without receiving any
equivalent therefor The contract with CRAWFORD
was fled in the Interior Department on February 4,
1885, and approved by the then Secretary OF the In
terror, Mr.. Lamar, and the then Commissioner oil
Indian Affairs, Mr. Atkins. L. c. Perriman was at
that time Delegate of the Creek Nation, and as such
uncovered to make contract Of this character but 1t
IS asserted that the Creeks do not at the present Time
know Of the existence Of this agreement with Craw-
ford. 1t Is considered strange that the President
sbould favor the ratification when the secretary OF
The Interior must have been aware OF the existence Oh
the contract with Crawford. by some friends OF The
indians n is opcny charged that Crawford agreed 10
divide his commission with Perriman
