VERY LATEST FROM HAYTI.
Negotiations Still Pending Between the
Two Rival Factions.

Negotiations Still Pending Between the
Two Rival Factions.
ESPECIAL TKLEeRAM TO THE pIsPATcHI
WASHINGTON. August 2l.-Amid the vary
ing diversifcations of unfounded and fan
.tastic intelligence which are daily put forth
respecting the development of the civil conflict
in Hayti, it is refreshing to have an interlude
Of truth. and this is now offered to the readers
of The DISPATCH and the rest of mankind.
On the Sth instant, after protracted considera-
tion of the subject on the part OF General
Legitime and his supporters in Port-au-Prince,
negotiations were opened with Hippolyte and
his friends outside, and the active direction of
these negotiations was undertaken BY the
Charge dAfaires of England and the Charge
dAfaires of Spain, acting together, and this
was the basis that they offered:
First-The debts of both factions to be recognized
second-Legitime to withdraw.
TnirdmThe b title Of aippolyte as provisional
pT9urthpPHippolyte , not to bring his army into
and insisted on for fear of boodshed and massacre
In case the army should come in.)
TifshmA ~ national a,a assembly g be immediately
OF these conditions Hippolyte positively re-
jected two namely, that about keeping his
soldiers out Of Portau-Prince, and that admit
ting the debts of Legitime; and he also said
that he wouldn't admit those contracted by the
late President Salomon.
The latest cable that has been received from
Port-au-Prince is to the 18th. The negotiations
were still continuing, under the joint direction
of the representatives of Spain and England,
but nothing final had been accomplished. 1t
should also be understood that Hippolyte made
Cleveland that the Mole St. Nicholas should be
ceded to the United States as a coaling station
and this circumstance has contributed more to
weaken him in Hayu than the occasional de-
feats which he has experienced at the hands of
the Legitimists.

SUPERNATURAL MAIL.

1t is said that Postmaster General Wana-
maker contemplates prosecuting the editors
of newspapers published in the interest of
spiritualism for violation of the mail laws.
Several of these newspapers promise their
readers communications from dead friends
and relatives via some spiritualistic air
line, at so many dollars a letter. Mr..
Wanamaker has his doubts abont the reality
of this spook mail service. 1t looks like a
fraud to him, and he propo ses, it is said, to
make the editorial mediums prove the au-
thenticity of their claim to communion with
the world beyond the grave. This will be a
splendid opportunity for the dealers in
spiritualism to make manifest their powers.
OF course, it may be also death blow to
fourishing trade upon the credulity of
mankind
We do not know exactly how Mr. Waua-
maker stands in this matter. The great
merchant makes no secret of his hostility to
spirits of the ardent sort. But Mr.. Wana-
maker has never before indicated his views
as to the agencies, human or otherwise, that
operate in darkened rooms, in cabinets,
through Planchette and in similar mysterious
ways. Is Mr.. Wanamaker of the opinion
that spirit letters ought to pay postage? 1t
would certainly seem proper for the Dead
Letter Department to handle them, but it
will be nice point to decide whether do
mestic or foreign rates should be levied on
them. All these aspects of an interesting
question are likely to be laid before Mr..
Harrison's Cabinet. 1t will be no new thing
for spiritualism to be a cabinet question.
In fact, without the cabinet, modern spirit
ualism is joyless thing.

His child-like confidence has been sadly
abused. he has generously given every
pirate he has run across an able-bodied sea-
man for keeps, and we hardly see what more
he could do to make himself popular in
Behring Sea.
The report of the latest seizures conveys
the information that several of Lieutenant
Tuttle's sailors have expressed themselves
as heartily sick of their work on board the
Rush. They are unreasonable. If the
stock of pirates only holds out they can all
look forward to a pleasant voyage to some
Canadian port on board prize. Still it
may prove unpleasant for Lieutenant Tuttle
if he gives away all his crew. He can
hardly expect to navigate the Rush alone.

NEW OUTLET FOR COKE.
The Baltimore and Ohio to Connect With
Camden's New Coal Roads.

The Baltimore and Ohio to Connect With
Camden's New Coal Roads.
BALTIMORE, August 21.-The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company has decided to make
close connections with Senator Camden's new
system of coke and coal roads in West Vir-
ginia. The entire coking regions of the upper
Monongahela will thus be developed by the
new combination. The new coal roads will
connect with the Parkersburg and the Wheel
ing branches OF the Baltimore and Ohio. and
enable the coke and coal to find markets at
Cincinnati Indianapolis and st. Louis, and
Chicago and the lakes. The new coal will not
compete with deposits of the Georges Creek
region nor with the Elk Garden in which the
West Virginia Central road is interested. The
Camden syndicate represents capital of S.
OO0,0O0
Five hundred coke ovens are in course Of
construction along its lines. The coal fields
thus opened mp will be almost as large as the
combined region of Plttsburg and Connells-
vIle and the new lines will be great feeders to
the B. q o. Senator Camden to-day said that
the line would be in operation in less than a
year. The new $4,000 bridge over the river
three miles above Fairmount is completed, and
the laying of tracks to point six miles above
Fairmount will be finished in ten days. At the
end of these six miles Is the new town of Cam
den, composed of 100 houses and 400 coke ovens.
The former narrow gauge road from Clarks-
burg to Weston is being widened to standard
gauge.

THE JUTE BAGGING TRUST.
Efforts of the Southern Cotton Planters to
Break the Combination.

Break the Combination.
MONTGOMERY. ALA, August 2L-The South
ern Interstate Farmers Association closed its
annual session here to-day. The Committee
on Cotton Covering, Hon. W. ]. Green, of
North Carolina, Chairman, submitted the fol-
lowing resolution, which was unanimously
adopted:
Recognizing the fact that jute bagging,
which has heretofore been exclusively used by
cotton planters as a covering for their product.
was during the past season most unnecessarily
raised in price nearly 100 per cent by the manu-
facturers of that material, and recognizing
likewise that such arbitrary and cruel rise in
price could only have been made possible by
what is now known as trust. and
inasmuch as under the spur of such a
wrong, suitable substitutes have since been
discovered for cotton covering, your committee
do most earnestly recommend TO every cation
producer throughout the land the absolute dis
continuance of jute bagging whenever a SUBJ
stitute can be obtained. Your committee goes
further, and proclaim that this recommenda-
ton, whether viewed as a retaliatory measure
or one simply of self protectionis is equally justi-
fable, and that they recommend like action or
non-use when possible of every article which
has been placed or shall be hereafter placed
under trust for the purpose of excluding
competition, and thus enabling the projectors
to fix their own price on the same.

UNLESS New York tulflls the condition
which we have insisted upon as necessarily
precedent to her obtaining the Worlds F. air
of 1892. the exhibition of that date may have
entirely another effect than that which is
intended. The condition is that she shall
kill off her Tammany officials. If the Ex-
position should take place with Tammany
aldermen and court officials holding full
sway, it would be likely to have a most
serious effect as an awful example, rather
than favorable illustration of popular in
stitutions.

WE are panied to observe such an evil
dence of inaccuracy as the assertion of the
lively Chicago Neacs that Senator Sherman
is at Richaeld Springs and is rivaling the
exploits of Jack the Kisser, among the
maidens at that watering place. The
esteemed Ne,os should take few primary
lessons in modern biography, in order to
enable it to distinguish between the oscu-
latory abilities of that brusque old warrior,
General Sherman, and the cool atmosphere
which generally surrounds his brother John.

energy whether the President will accept
defeat in the South through failure to
give men of William Pitt Kellogg's stamp
all the offices he wants. As defeat in the
South is likely to come anyhow, 1t may be a

it will be less grievous without the burden
of Kellogg on his back than with it.
