..THE BLACK REPUBLIC"
Minister Douglass Has Faith III
The Future of Hayti.

EDITOR Po5T: l gave you thanks
for the friendly reference you make
to my appointment as minister to
Hayti, and to the course | may be
expected to pursue in that position.
l wish, however, to correct an error
into which an interviewer has fallen
by substituting the word coercion"
for tina tof 'apnexation." | have never
been a coercionist, and do not be-
lieve that any American statesman
would counsel any such policy as a.
gainst friendly nation.
Nothing that said that interview
had reference to recent transactions
in Hayti. l shall 60 to that country
to represent the interests Of the Uni
ted States, and also with view to
advance the interests Of the people
likely to be most benefited by the
wise, peaceful, and orderly govern
ment of what is called The Black
Republic"
1t is impossible to deny that Hayti
is an important element in the ques>
ton of the possible future of the
colored man on that continent. Men
point to it to day, as an argume Mt
against the abb ity Of the colored race
to govern itself. They say, "Look at
Hayti! torn and rent by division and
revolution" and ask US what we can
expect of the American Negro. To
me Hayti is in the process of evolu
ton, moi of decay or of retrogression.
She is going through the experience
of the South American republics,
and of France, which has had twelve
revolutions in single century, and,
l might say, Of our own country,
which, but few years ugo, presen~
ted scene of discord, and civil war,
as wild, turbulent, and persistent as
that which is witnessed to day in the
Island of San Domingo. We have
risen out Of this tempest and whirl.
wind Of war stronger, wiser, hap
pier and more united people than at
any other time in our history, and |
predict similar result for Hayti.
Of one thing Hayti may well be
proud, no hostile foot has been al
lowed to tread her soil successfully
during three quarters Of a century.
The child may stumble and fall many
times and receive many bruises, but
the child will become a man for all
that.
1t is no new thing to have Hayti
cited against the cause of freedom in
the United States. 1t was so before
we abolished our slavery, when our
fears created only disaster and ruin
in that nirectiCn and will continue
to be so.
Nevertheless, Hayti is sti'l Hayti,
sharing the commerce of the world,
with representatives in her capital OF
every great maritime power, and
flags of all nation floating in he,
ports and harbors.
While | neither asked, sought, nor
expected to be appointed minister to
this important country, l have no
sympathy with those who endeavor to
be'ittle the appointment or question
the motives of President Harr; son in
making it.
l know Of no place on the globe
where I could be more usefully EN-
ployed than in tho discharge of the
duties which will naturally devolve
upon me, should | reach Port-au-
Prince. FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

carried away, and 200 or 300 yards Of the
Crab Tree branch railroad has been
completely washed out.
A Hailstorm Follows.

"CATTLE KATE"

An Intrepid Worcan Rancher Who Sue
cessful1y Rounded Up Brace Faro
Game That was Fleeing Her Cowboys
Frontier Justice Tempered with Mercy
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 21.-A sensa-
tional story comes from Carbon County,
which brings Mrs. Kate Maxwell, the
owner of a cattle ranch, into prominence
as daring and desperate woman, whose
career may rival that of the notorious
Belle Starr. Mrs. Maxwell is known
among ranchers as Seattle Kate, 'aud has
in her employ abort twenty cowboys.
The cowboys have been losing very heav-
lily lately at a faro ime in Bessemer, run
by Farley & Goodwin. Kate became con-
WINGED that they were being robbed, and,
accompanied by her foreman, both armed
to the teeth, visited the place Monday
night.
With a six-shooter in each hand Kate
ordered the faro-dealer to "get out" He
"got," and while she kept the gamblers
covered the foreman examined the cards
and box and found the game was "brace
game" When this was explained to the
big crowd that was present, there was a
wild rush made for Farley and Goodwin,
and they were dragged outside and badly
beaten. Some of the crowd went for
ropes and the two gamblers were
given ten minutes in which to
say their prayers. While this was
going on Kate and her foreman Sc
cured all the money about the place
several thousand dollars. Then Kate
was disposed to be merciful, and finally
the two gamblers were put on ponies and
started off for Utah.
The saloon, after being Systematically
pillaged, was burned, and the crowd led
by "Cattle Kate" started for her ranch,
where the money was divided and free
whisky and dancing ended the night.

WHiRLWlND'S WORDS.

He Fears the Effects of the Invasion of
the Whites OF Indian Territory and
Pleads for Protection.
NEW YORK, Feb. pa Herald special
from Fort Reno, 1. T., says delegation
of seventeen chiefs and head men of the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe tribes, headed by
Whirwind, chief of the Cheyennes, called
on Colonel Wade. commanding at Fort
Reno, on Tuesday, to submit through him
a petition to the President and Congress.
Whirlwind made an eloquent speech en-
bodying the subject of the petition. He
feared the effects of the invasion of the
whites, which will undoubtedly take place
if the oklahoma bill' becomes a law.
He asked for protection to the Indians in
their rights. On account of droughts
they are unable to support themselves by
farming, and they ask for land enough to
enable them to raise stock. If white peo-
pie must have a portion of the land which
the Indians had supposed was for their
own use, let the Indians be kept in body,
and not scattered throughout the Terri
tory. They desire to be their own neigh
bors while their children are being etlu-
Gated. Whirlwind feared that they will
be placed at the mercy of white men, and
that with the whites will come traffic in
whisky, which will prove injurious to the
Indians

who was sentenced to death here in 1870,
but broke Jail, has been found near Ar
kansas City, Ark, and Chief of Police
Meffert there has telegraphed here to
know if a reward is outstanding for his

which Off had the advantage. Smith drew

ton to the resolution, taking the ground
that since the exercise of States rights
