PHELPS AT HARVARD.
A Definite American Policy in Inter-
national Relations Needed.

boston, June 27.-At a meeting OF the
Harvard chapter of the Phi Beta Cappa to-
day, Hon. Edward J. Phelps delivered the
Grafton, which dealt largely with inter
national affairs. In the course OF his speech,
he declared tho time had come when con-
sistent distinctive and definite American
policy in international relations should be es-
tablished, one that would not change with
the exgencies of politics. Upon the line
thus deliberately adopted the stand shoulu
be absolutely firm and dnyielding, He pro-
poses as one of the frst steps towards
such international attitude. as II seems our
country should assume, and having assumed,
maintain, that naval force should be created
that should leave US nothing TO fear from
collision with any other naval power in the
world
Arbitration" said Mr.. Phelps. "is one of
the most plausible words in the English Ian
guage. but it means one thing to those who
have mu1h to do with 1T and quite another
TO those who have not. 1t will continue to
be employed in certain class of interna-
tional disputes but the idea that it can ever
be made the ultimate resort of nations in
those more important quarrels that involve
questions of principle or honor, or have
stirred the blood and moved the passions of
men, appears to be altogether chimer'cal."

a SWEEPING ORDER,
The Business Methods OF the Navy
Denurtment Reorg anized.

Department. Reorganized.
WASHINGTON, June 2T.-By the sweeping
general order issued to-day Secretary Tracy
ordered the entire reorganization of the bus
mess methods of the navy department. Up
to this time the new equipments and the
new. duties constantly arising from the con-
ditions incident to the replacement of the
old wooden vessels with new ships and mod
ern guns, men have been assigned here and
there to the several bureaus of the depart
ment, often with no better reason than the
convenience Of the moment. The result has
been confusion and exaggera-
tion of the defects of the bu-
reau system. Secretary Whitney
realized the evils of the system and made an
effort to change them, but was obliged, from
the magnitude of the task and the paramount
importance of concentrating his energies
upon the procurement of new ships and guns,
to abandon the task. Secretary Tracy, how
ever, now says the time is ripe for further
change, and has accordingly issued new
orders, which completely reorganlze and de-
fine the duties of the various bureaus, mark

MERCHANTS LEAVING HAYTl.
Port-au-PrInce About to Fall Into
HippOIyte'5 Hands.

New YoRK. June 27.-The first authentic
news from Hayti in two months came yes
terday. The steamer Prince Wilhelm, which
left Port Prince June 20, arrived yester-
day ana brought with it five merchants who
say that it IS only a question of time when
Hippolyte's army will drive Legitime and his
friends from Port-auPrince. The reason they
left Port-au Prince was that affairs in Hayti
have reached such point that business Is
out of the question. Everything is stagnant,
and the town is overrun with ruffians. There
is almost no money at all, and those who can
get hold of n little are leaving the country.
Provisions are high. Flour is selling at $50
a barrel, and the poorer classes, who are
suffering for the uecessares of life, are con-
stantly on the verge of insurrection. In the
hills behind Port-au- Prince the armies of
Hippolyte lie enclmped, and the city is in q
measure IN state of seige.
Among the passengers on the steamship
Wilhelm, was g. b. Nelson, q resident of
this city, who four months ago went to Hayti
to enter the employ of Legitime as engineer
on man of-war. He said he returned be-
cause he found the situation there too warm
for him. Legitime stood little chance against
Hippolitc, whose army was well equipped
and numbered some ten thousand stronger.
When the speaker left Hippolite's troops
were within four miles of Port-au-Prin ce by
land and fourteen mile by sea. He said the
reason Rippolyte did not rush on Port-au
Prince Immediately was because he was
waiting the signal from friends in the city.
Legitimes former commander-in chief, Gen
eral Piquant, evacuated Grand Saline for
a consideration of S23O,000, and succeeded
in leaving the island with the money. Three
ministers of war had held sway within as
many months, and one of these, General
Anselm Prompete, appropriated $3.50 600 gov.
ernment money and resigned. AS to tho
Clyde steamer OXama being captured by
Haytien gunboats, the truth of the matter
was, said Nelson, that the vessel was only
held II little over three hours and was re
leased when Captain Kellogg, OF the United
States steamer Ossipee, made a demand
upon Legitime. AT first the demand was re-
fused, except under condition that the Oxama
would go to Gonavies. Captain Kellogg
wrote upon the back of LcGitime's note tnat
hours and $1,000 paid over by Legitime, he
would lombard the city. Tho demand was
Immediately complied with, and So, 900 paid
to Captain Kellogg.
