FOR A UNITED EMPIRE.
Self-Governing British Colonies &
Consider the Question OF Imports
Federation.

self-Governing British Colonies to
Consider the Question OF Imperial
Federation.
LONDON, June IA deputation con-
sisting of members of the Imperial Fedora
ton league headed by Lord Brassey, waited
upon the premier, Lord Salisbury, to-day
in order to urge him to convoke a confer
ence of the self-gaverning British colonies
to consider the question of partaking in
the privileges and responsibilities of q
united empire.
Lord Salisbury, in replying, said that he
was in sympathy with the object the depu-
tation had in view. The question, he add
ed, was nothing more or less than the fu-
ture of the British empire. Lord Sails
bury agreed with the deputation as to the
expediency of an early maturity of the de-
alterations. The operation of external
causes and impulses, he said, had created
feeling of unrest in Canada and Aus
tralia which might not improperly be
called an unwillingness to acquiesce in
the present state of things.
Continuing, Lord Salisbury remarked
| that q large proportion of the foreign ne
| gotiations and difficulties arose entirely
| from the colonial connections of the en-
pire. The government, the premier add
ed, had to exercise great vigilance in order
to see that it did not incur danger which
had not arisen from its own interests, but
from the interests of the important com
munities with which it was linked.
After indicating the difficulties which
the government would have to contend
with in order to make q united empire sim
liar to the United States, which Lord Sal
isbury described as zollverein or kreigs
verein, he concluded with the Statement
that he could not summon conference O.
colonial statesmen until definite schem,
of imperial federation had been prepared

THE REVOLUTION IN HAYTI.

AA~~
The Massacre ofHyppolite's Enemies
How the Political Prisoners were
Brutally Murdered.
NEW YORK, June 17.-Further news of
the revolution in Hayti, and the massacre
of enemies of President Hyppolite was
brought here to-day by the officers of the
steamship Alvo, of the Atlas Line. While
the steamer was at Jacmel, the officers
heard rumor that President Hyppolite
had been assassinated, but the story could
not be confirmed. The officers of the
Alvonso saw six of Hyppolite's political
prisoners killed. The men were brought
out of the jail and chained to the wall.
Sixteen soldiers were then drawn up in line
and ordered to fire three volleys, but
not to shoot to kill the first two
times The soldiers fired first at the
legs, then at the abdominal regions and
lastly at the heads. The murdered men
were left were they fell for the day as
warning. While the executions were tax
ing place the wives and relatives of the
prisoners stood near by and saw them
killed, but were not allowed to approach
them. Three hours after the execution
some of Hyppolite's soldiers returned to
Gne spo6 anu recognizing corpse as tnat
of man who had killed relative of one
of the soldiers they emptied their Win
chesters into the body.
At Jacmel all the passengers by the Al
vonso were searched before they were al
lowed to board the steamer.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE department
| of state has received no news of any at
| tempt upon the life of President Hyppolite
of Hayti. AS there is constant communi-
| cation by cable between Hayti and San
Domingo and the United States, there is no
doubt that any such event as stated would
| be promptly known here.

The city engineer was of the opinion
this bid was too high, and perhaps the city
could do the job cheaper itself.
The meeting was unusually quiet and
amicable, until near the close, when q lit
tie breeze sprung up suddenly. 1t came
from discussion over the order from the
court of common council with reference to
the park commissions employment of city
engineers. Mr.. Atwater wished to have
the matter tabled for a week, and Mr..
Leigh wished to have it settled and the
mayor appointed to confer with the park
commission.
Mr.. Leigh started to say something,
when he was interrupted by another MEM
Der, and that elected the following from
Mr.. Leigh:

and mean to exercise that right, and
don't wish to be shut off either"
He then had the floor to himself and
| finished his remarks undisturbed-
When the vote was cast it resulted in q
| tie and was dissolved by the chairman in
favor of Mr.. Atwater's motion to table it
until the next meeting.
"That's the way knew you would vote, VI
said Mr.. Leigh to the chairman.
| Next, Mr.. Leigh wanted to have that
extra sewer inspector appointed and pro
posed the name of James Mccormick. Mr..
Atwater objected, saying there was nc
need of another inspector, aud that If one
were to be appointed he wanted it done
when President States was present. be
/ oanea he Mr. States had a candidate OF
his own for the position. Mr.. Sullivan
was of the same opinion. Chairman Todd
then was called to dissolve another til
vote and Mr.. Mccormack was not elected
George Wharton, another candidate by
Mr.. Leigh, met with similar fate.
The board voted to transmit the corpor
alton counsel's opinion with reference Il
resident membership to the board, to tn,
court of common council. Even Mr.
Leigh voted in favor of this, and after tn
meeting adjourned jocosely remarked t,
Mr.. Atwater: sPn give you fellows
