Mr.. Carter voted for Speaker Reed.
The Montana delegates at the 1t. Louis
convention had wired him not to do it..
of course, the Montana men were
vexed; and now we have it that the

MINISTER DOUGLASS sNuBBeo.

Frederick Douglass had u lot of
trouble in presenting his credentials at
Port au Prince. and it WAS only when
Secretary Blaine came to his aid with a
United States cruiser that n dusky
| minister succeeded i'm travelling in a
manner betting his official position.
Dispatches from lIayti say that the
American minister has not only been
snubbed. but that Hippolyte refuses
point blank tn honor his credentials,
and il il said that Secretary Blaine is
contemplating h appointment of his
successor.
President IIippolyte argues that mas
much as other foreign governments are
represented there by white men. he
don't propose to receive u negro from
the United States. The fact is. the
llaytiens have very little respect for
members of their own race. and Mr..

cess in his diplomatic dealings with the
turbulent little republic.
1t Is "a question whether il would be
to our advantage to comply with the
wishes of the dusky ruler of the island.
For years this government has been
tryin to secure land at Port an Prince
for u coaling station for American war
vessels, but so far all negotiations have
failed utterly. AS n result of sending
Negro ministers tn lTayti. this govern

The success Of the present Brooklyn

another. and many arguments IN faNof OF
its construction are being advanced. The
carving capacity Of the present structure
will be exhausted in very few years, and
relief will be required. The present bridge
was begun in 1870, and since that time The
population has been doubled, and since
the bridge has been opened II has
increased the population fully hlty
per cent. Even II work was commenced

would have increased at least jOO,OD be-
fore the structure would be opened TO travel.
