DOUGLASS RESIGNS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Hon. Frederick
Douglass, United States minister to Hayti,
has rendered his resignation to the depart
ment Of state.
The resignation is dated July 80. He
gives no reason for resigning.
A MUTUAL SATISFACTION.
Frederick Douglass resignation was mu-
tualiy satisfactory to the minister and to
the state department. Douglass was weary
OF trying to get a concession of the Mole
St Nicholas, handicapped as he
was by the necessity of getting
subsidy for Clyde's steamers
first, both concession and subsidy being
asked on the ground that the United
States had been the first to break the
blockade for Hippolyte. On the other
hand, the administration was satisfied that
white man could do better as minister to
4laytl than colored man. Douglass reit-
Grated an emphatic denial that he contem
plated resigning, which puts him in an un-
envlable position, now that he has resigned

WRECK AND RIOT.

Three Hundred Italians Attack the
Erave Engineer and Fireman.
NEW HAVEN. CONN, Aug. lO.-Nine Ital-
ian laborers were seriously injured, two
fatally, in a railroad collision near Bran
ford, on the Shore Line branch of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad,
about 6 o'clock this morning A gravel
train left New Haven about $50.
In the caboose on the end of the
train were fifty Italians. While crossing
the main track near Branford station, a
freight train bound flor New Loadon
struck the oaboose and threw it Off
the track. Nine of the fifty
Italians were injured. They all
belonged in New Haven. The
engine ran through and through the rear
car before it stopped Engineer Benjamin
and Fireman Harry Hunt jumped and
saved their lives. Three hundred Italians
gathered short distance from the station
and talked together In loud warlike tone.
ATTACKED BY THE ITALIANS.
The cab Of the engine had taken fire and
Engineer Benjamin and Fireman Hunt re-
turned to extinguish it. The Italians saw
them, aud arming themselves with stones
and shovels rushed for the engine and sur
rounded it. Fireman Hunt was knocked
down with a piece Of coal. He sought
refuge after ward in a neighboring shop.
Engineer; Ben jamin moved his way through
the mob by welding piece of heavy tim
Der. He reached the depot in safety and
locked himself in the ticket office. The
Italians were eventually pacified. They re-
fused to work the day out.

ENaLAND's BOARD OF TRADE.
The Times Says the Returns Issued
Are Unsatisfactory.


LONDON, Aug. 10-The Times, comment
ing on the returns issued by the board Of
trade, says: "The returns are unsatis~
factory. The decline in exports is due
chiefly TO the lower value OF manufactured
articles, metals and imported raw mate
rlals for sundry industries and manu-
features. In raw materials for textile
manufacturers there has been an Increase
OF 600 900 and in food stuffs an increase Of
nearly 9500,000 The increase in tho latter
is due to an advance in corn, and not to aa
increased amount. The decline in exports
is distributed over the whole list.
THa MKINLEY TARIFF THE CAUSE.
The Mckinley law has been the great
cause of the disturbance. The prospect OF
tue law last year swelled the exports to the
United States while thole markets were
still open. The English merchants and
manufacturers availed themselves OF the
outlet, and were met with equal eagerness
on the part of the Americans to buy at
lower rates The Mckinley law now in force
has had the effect expected and intended.
Our exports to the United States have de-
creased under several headings, and, al
though they have advanced under other
headings, this advance is not sufficient
to balance the general trade loss.
The figures for July are, therefore, lower
they compare unfavorably with the time
when the exports were abnormally large.
The effects of hostile trade also are the
greatest aud most visible at first, but In
course OF time things generally recover.
The old trade channels are closed, but trade
goes more by a circuitous route under con
ditions less advantageous to the
purchaser than to tie exporter.
THE CHIEF SUFFERER.
"The Mckinley law has been severe
blow to some branches Of trade, but the
chief sufferer will be the country which has
been SO ise as 20 establish It. The
board OF trade returns are, therefore, less
unsatisfactory than they appear. They do
not show that our trade resources ars i'm
paired or that the energy which has carried
us TO the front OF the trading countries of
the world will not maintain us in the place
which 1t has enabled us to win"
ST. JAMES GAzETTE's VIEW.
The 81. James Gazette takes very
gloomy view of the coalition of British
trade, and to-day there appears in its coll
umns an article commenting In a pessi-
mistic manner upon the outlook for the
manufacturing and other industries of
Great Britain. 1t says: Judging from
the returns Issued by the board of trade it
looks as though we have already reached
the end Of good times The great decline
In exports from Great Britain is undoubt-
edly due to the operation Of the Mckinley
law In the Unitoi States. We have been
| told that that act would eventually prove a
real misfortune to the United States, but
Its Immediate object was TO hit foreign
manufacturers, especially those of Great
| Britain, and it Is plainly evident that this
| object has been attained "

BALFoUR AT PLYMOUTH.
He Outlines bis Idens of Irish Local
Government.

AAO CAkllhS6 lAb A00AB OI lTIbn IIOCdl
Government.
LONDON, Aug. 10.-A. ]. Balfour, chief
secretary for Ireland, in a speech delivered
at Plymouth to-day, outlined his ideas of
Irish local government lie repudiated
what he claimed TO be Mr.. Morley's unjust
and unfair suspicion that the govern
ment proposed measure for
Ireland, which was a small home rule bill.
Mr.. Gladstone, the speaker declared, was
not assailed with such suspicion when he
proposed similar bill in parliament. He
was aware that many members Of the con-
servstive party disliked the proposal
but, he argued, there were two
reasons why local government should
not be withheld from Ireland. The first
was a sentimental one, because it had al
ready been given TO England and Scotland;
aud, second, it was because local gov
ernment had been repeatedly promised to
ireland. Secretary Balfour declared
that it would be madness 10
allow the councils TO administer the
funds Of any class not represented in the
bodies. Suoh permission would convert
them into engines of tyranny and oppres-
sion. The incidence of taxation fell on the
occupiers OF the land, and they could be
trusted to prevent extravaganza and rob-
berry with their own funds
THE POLICE QUESTION.
The police question, Secretary Balfour
continued. had caused alarm, but he would
never consent to the decentralization Of the
force by handing the local police over
to the councils or to the councils in associa-
ton with the grand jury. He further
believed that there would be no serious
attempt In the counties TO secure control Of
80 costly force. He was compelled to adj
init that he feared that the first result OF
the change would be to oust the
landlords from a share in the govern
ment, even though they guarded
the councils by some form of minority
representation. This was to be deplored,
but he trusted and believed that as the po-
litical storm subsided and as the ancient
rancor was forgotten and the gradual effect
of the land purchase was felt, these
gentlemen. if they remained, would
be largely recognized and elected
as the best man to carry on the country's
business, and thus reconcile the classes
which had been too much and too long sep
arated. He concluded by exonerating his
opponents of the charge Of obstruction dur
ing the past session, but accusing their cleo
tion literature Of seeking to incite class
hatreds.

Of the thigh. At the sound of the shot the
negro ran, and the plucky woman, regard
less OF her wound, went after him, firing
as she ran, planting one shot
In his arm, and just as he
was passing the house, lodged another
near the heart. The negro ran a few PAGES
and dropped. He died on the way 70 the

aud he was a worthless, dissolute negro,
whose purpose in entering the house was to

NEW YORK A FURNACE.
Eottest of the Heated Term With

Warmer Weather Ahead.
New YoRK, Aug. 10.--New York to-day
has been a furnace seven times heated.
This has been the third day of the heated
term in this city, and the hottest
of the three, with no prospects
Of change tomorrow. Accord
ing to probabilities as furnished
by a local torecasrer the mercury bids fair to
touch the hundred mark tomorrow. By a
Thermometer which registered actual de-
grees of heat on the street, 81 was
reached at $3.50. At 8 a. m. with
out suspicion of a breeze and mercury
steadily climbing upward in the tube, the
air was sitting. At noon it was
unbearable, and between that hour and
4 o'clock in the afternoon ambulances
were busily engaged in carrying
to the hospitals many human beinga pros
trated by the heat Nothing like it has
been recorded at this time Of the year for
nearly twenty years. and the continuance
dnring the week means an enormous in
crease of mortality, especially in the
crowded tenement districts.
SEVERAL DEATHS ALREADY.
Several deaths have occurred and many
more victims are in a pecar1ous condition
Inspectors Steers and Conlin Of the police
force are prostrated, and number Of the
force had to leave their posts to-day. The
theaters tonight are almost deserted, and
thousands have hurried out Of the city to
the seashore aud mountains.
Three are reported as having been rem
dered insane by the heat. They were all
placed in the insane pavilion at Bellevue hos
pital.
The heat was particularly severe on
horses, and many OF them were overcome.
SCENES ON THE STREETS
Scenes tonight In the vicinity of Broad
way and south of Houston street are
beyond description. The entire popula-
tion have deserted the tenements and
have sought housetops and streets, where
they are lying down, walking aud gasping
for breath. Little relief is afforded them,
however, as the brick walls are sending
forth heat accumulated during the day.
They are looking with forebodings for the
dawn Of another scorching day.

INMAN'S REPLY.
The President ofthe Terminal Answers
the Charges.

CAo CnHTROs.
New YORK, Aug. 10-President Inman
Of the Richmond Terminal Company to-
day made the following statement in reply
to the charges that the companies in the
system had declared dividends in periods
when the operations of the road showed
deficits in meeting fixed charges
"ln reference to the statements that have
recently been made in regard to the finan-
oial condition of the Richmond Terminal
Company and of the several divisions OF
property, have to say that there is no
portion Of the system which consists Of the
Richmond and Danville, Georgia Central
and East Tennessee, which is
not earning its fixed charges.
When detailed reports, now in
preparation, are completed and given to the
public, it will be seen that the statements
which have been made are misleading, and
that the Richmond Terminal Company and
its separate divisions are entirely solvent.
Each Of these companies owns security of
unquestionable value, largely in excess Of its
outstanding Indebtedness.

The Failure Causing Much Apprehen-
sion Everywhere.
ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 10.-The grave
situation by the failure of the crops In Rus
STA is causing the greatest apprehension in
all circles. The GrGshdGnin declares that
the local administrations will be
unable to make provisions by draw
ing upon the surplus or other
provinces, if spectators are allowed to ex-
port corn, or if an artificial rise in prices of
corn is not checked. The paper demands
that the government Immediately place a
heavy export duty on rye.
The Financial Messenger declares that
it will be almost impossible for Russia to
export corn this year.
II is officially announced that the govern
ment has not as yet contemplated issuing q
decree totally prohibiting the export OF grain
from Russia, but partial failure OF the
crops demands that provision be made for
the people living in the distressed provinces,
and consequently the export OF grain from
those provinces will be restricted by. the
authorities.
