While Minister Fred Douglass
Stands Idly By.
The Crazy President OF Haytl sim Killing
on His Enemies.


According to letter received at New
York from Port-au-Prince President
Hippolyte attempted on May 30 to take
four political prisoners from the Mexi.
can consulate in the Haytien capital
When the entire diplomatic corps called
on the president May 80, to protest
against violation of international law,
Hippolyte attempted to play high
handed game of bluff, and he might
have succeeded had not the German con-
sui threatened to report the matter to
his government Minister Fred Doug
lass, it is said in the letter, stood trem-
bling with fear and heard the black
ruler insult the flag Of every civilized
post, including his own, and he did not
dare offer protest Terror reigns
supreme at Port-au- Prince. Hippolyte
continues to kill his supposed enemies,
but they accumulate faster than he can
kill them. The real instigators and
leaders of the movement against him
have escaped his vengeance. Some Of
them are secretly at work. Hippo
lyte, the writer thinks, is undoubtedly
crazy. 1t is stated that when the con-
suls called on him he became angry, and
rushed out Of the room and was soon
after heard playing flute in the next
room. The consuls were leaving when
the minister of foreign affairs came in
and begged them to remain, saying the
president had been summoned away on
important matters, but would return
Immediately. The minister then
went out and apparently remon-
strated with Hippolyte, who soon
re-entered the room and excused himself
on the same grounds mentioned by
his minister Referring again to Min
lister Douglass, the writer says he evil
IDENTIFY regards the Haytien government
with much more veneration than his
own. The writer vigorously adds that
as the United States claims moral
jurisdiction over Hayti, it is about time
minister of some decision was sent
there to replace Douglass. Members
of the diplomatic corps have appealed
to Douglass to sustain the moral posi-
ton the Monroe doctrine calls for, but
in vain,

useless. The poor savages seldom do much
thinking that requires addition and sub
traction. even when their lives are in
danger. Shoe Roke, for such was the
Eskimo hunters name, thought he saw an
object near the reef that might be a wal
rus, but when he crept nearer he found it
was only a large quantity of sea weed,
q kind of pulp very plentiful in the Arctic,
that had been washed up on An ice cake,
and as it moved up and down it deceived
even the expert Eskimo hunter in the dim
light. AS he was turning to go back toward
the shore. with a grunt in Eskimo for
"angry," the strongest expression they use
when disappointed, he heard q terrible
noise bshind him like the roaring Of thun-
der, and which the poor fellow knew at
once to be the giving away of the ice on
which he stood. With what rapidity he
could master he ran to one end, but there
saw a very wide channel of water, and to
his chagrin saw that had he gone to the
other end he might have saved himself,
for the foe had swung around that corner
IS on a pivot, but by the time he reached
the end OF the long foe it was too late and
he da ed not attempt the jump. for none
of the Eskimo know how to swim, and it
would have been certain death had he fallen
into the water. He called as loud as he
could to his two boys, but the noise of the
bowling wind and grinding ice was go great
that not a sound could be heard. All that
he could 10 was to wait until his ship
should reach the edge of solid ice, and then
make his way home rs best he could. This
depended wholly on whether he was able to
hold out and keep from starvation or his
home did not break to pieces and tumble
into the water. Many Of his friends he
knew had drifted out to sea in this way,
some absent many days, and some, he
bitterly remembered, never returned.
AS the Eskimo people are accustomed
to the greatest hardships. they are not
accustomed to sit down and bemoan their
fate on AL occasion of this kind. Shoe Roke
at once commenced to look around him,
and was greatly surprised to see a dark OBJ
iect on the foe. Walking over to it, and
thinking it might be another batch of kelp,
he was astonished to see it was his light
sledge and our dogs. The poor dogs,
lightly fed for many a day. had curled up
