lister 10 Hayti was expected to sail by this
steamer but owing to the excitement at Port
Au-Prnce he decided to postpone his

the late insuTection in Hayti. The fact is
now made known that the up

the government repTessed the re-

declared Some sixty persons Lad been shot

TIE NEW MORNING DAILY.
For some time vague rumors have been
floating around that Colonel John A. COckerill
was about TO make another journalistic VEN
ture. These rumors assumed definite shape
when it was announced that he had purchased
the plant Of the Daily Continent, and that an
other morning newspaper would be added to
the already long list f journals in the metTOp-
oils. The new enterprise made Its first bow
TO the public this morning under the title of
the Morning Advertiser, one cent Demo-
cratic paper. 1t will be issued hereafter as
the morning edition of the Commercial Adver-
tiser. The latter paper will be issued the
same as usual.
New York will be blessed with a super
abundance of fine California fruit this sum-
mer Already there are indications of sharp
competition between the California products
and those of Delaware and New Jersey. Last
wear TAI carloads came from the Golden
Gate, and it is confidently predicted that over
1000 cars or 100000 pounds will be unloaded
here this season. The peach crop of the
East, which was a failure last year. will be
unusually large and the probabilities are that
fruit lovers Will be able to get the finest fruit
for less money than has been paid before.
WOES OF LANDLORDS.
New York landlords resort to all sorts Of in
ducements to secure desirable tenants for
their apartment houses Formerly two
weeks free rent was considered quite a con-
cession, but now one or even two months afe
thrown in to get desirable tenant on a
lease Steam heat, electric bells, elevators
telephones, and awnings are common
at fair rentals IN the better class of fats
Among the novelties offered are flats
where all the coal and fuel needed
are furnished free, thus doing away with q
common cause of quarrel with janitors sus-
pected Of using the tenants fuel. In some
the gas bills and Ice bills are paid by the
landlords, and stationary mirrors and ice
boxes still farther reduce the tenants ex-
penses A genius on the west side has filed
his row of moderate price flats by allowing
each family the free use of piano.
NEW NAVY BUILDING.
The construction of q large and substantial
building for the storage of coal for Uncle
Sans warships has Just been commenced at
the navy yard, under orders from Secretary
Tracy The building. which will stand on

storage capacity of some 5000 tons of coal,
and will be provided with a $15 900 automatic
coaling apparatus for hosting the coal UP from
the storage vaults and transmitting il to tie
coal-bunkers of the ships. This apparatus
will do away with the nece ssty of coaling by
lighter, which has caused so much trouble
and delay IN equpping the ships in the past
a1d VIII leave much more room for other pur-
poses II will also provide the yard with an
efficient coaling station, thing it has hereto
fore had only in name.
