SWEET WINES.
Treasury Regulations Concerning the Use
Of Spirits at Vineyards.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The regulations
Treasury governing the fortifica.ion of
sweet wines are now in press at the Gov
ernment Printing Office, and will be issued
in few days. Your correspondent learns
from Commissioner Mason that among the
new rules is one providing that each winery
must have a separate room for the purpose
of fortificatlon. All fortiication will take
place In these bonded rooms, into which
the freshly manufactured wine will be con-
Quoted and received in vats, and United
States Gaugers will have charge of the pipes
to turn on OF shut off the supply at their dis
cretion. The manufacturers will have the
right of returning TO the winery fortified
wine, where it may be kept until the full
completion of the manufacture.
Commissioner Mason stated to-day that
his recent conference with Revenue Agent
Eldrldge OF san Francisco and Mr.. West of
Stockton, who represented the California
wlne-makers, was satisfactory to all con-
cerned. The only point of difference be-
tween Mr.. West and himself concerned the
under the law of Congress- and where it
must be located. Mr.. Mason says the
winery must be at the vineyard where the
grapes are produced. and this will be rgidly
enforced. The revenue agents are author
Ized and empowered to seize brandy-fOrti-
he'd wine with unpaid tax in any establish
ment elsewhere than at the vineyard. Com
missioner Mason believes that the manu-
facturers themselves and all concerned Will
finally acknowledge the justice OF this con-
structi0n OF the law. 81 am sure the wine
growers will, at any rate said he. 'In
iact, the law we are working under was in
tended to protect the grape producers.

MINISTER DOUGLASS.
Ills Mission to Hayti Said to b Un-
successful.

NEW YORK, July 13.-The Atlas line
mail steamer Athos, from Port Limon, ar
rived this afternoon. Late in June the
Athos touched at Hayti, and according to
her officers it was learned that Fred Doug
lass, the United States Minister to Hayti,
had left his post at Port-au-Prince because
the Haytian Government did not care to
recognize the representative Of the United
States, and it was rather the desire of the
BLACK Republic" to break off all inter-
course with this country. The Haytian
Government, it was said, fears the United
States, and in order to avoid interference Of
any kind from this Government it will sac
rihce social intercourse with it.
Legitime was still at Kingston and growing
in favor. The Haytians prefer him to Hip
polyte and only await his word to institute
another revolt.
WASHINGTON. July 13.-Minister Doug
lass when shown the telegram tonight said
to his personal knowledge the Haytian Gov
ernment do not wish to break off inter-
course with the United States nor did he
believe the Government was dissatisfied
with him as Minister.
Acting Secretary of State Wharton re-
CARDS the reports brought by steamer from
Hayti that Minister Douglass left Port-aIi-
Prince because the Haytian Government
desired to break off intercourse with this
country as pure invention. and says there
is no reason to believe any such condition
of affairs exists in Hayti.
NEW YORK, July ia letter TO the
World states that free speech is impossible
there and that the natives are most insult
ing to Americans, who are in jeopardy all
the time. PUrt-au-Prince is still under
martial law. Six thousand troops occupy
the city. Douglass sold all household effects
before leaving, and the Americans will feel
no regret II he does not return.

EreeiaI to The MORNING CALI

PARIS, July 13-There was considerable
excitement here to-day, caused by the re-
port that President Carnot had been shot
while out driving, by an insane man who
rushed toward his carriage and fred a pistol
at him. There was foundation for the story
though President Garnet escaped injury.
The President attended to-day the cere-
monies of the official opening of new
thOroughfare, where he received an en-
thusiastic welcome by the large crowd
assembled there. Suddenly a man, Wild
eyed and making insane gestures, forced his
way through the crowd, rushed to the car
riage and fired pistol at Carnot, shouting /:
'Tll prove there are more Bastiles to be
demolished" The man was promptly
arrested, and such was the anger of the
crowd present that the officers had the great
est difficulty in protecting the prisoner
from becoming a victim of popular fury. It
was soon learned that the prisoner was a
madman. aud had just been released from
confinement in lunatic asylum.

The Wheat Harvest Reported to Be Below
the Average.
WASHINGTON, July Is, A report on
harvest prospects in France and Europe has
been received at the State Department from
Commercial Agent Griffin at Limoges,
France. The National Millers' Association
OF France, the report says. has issued an es-
innate, showing the yield of wheat for 1891
to be 81 per cent less than the harvest OF
1890 Russia, Tunis, Egypt. Roumania and
some of the Danubian provinces have fair
harvest. In Hungary it will be below the
average this year. The estimates given by
the millers, the report says, are optimistic
Their desire to create an impression that
there is n better supply than really exists
is done with purpose They want to buy
grain as cheaply as possible in those fortu-
nate countries that have of their abundance
to export. In conclusion, the report says,
not only France but all Europe is looking
Iongingly to the wheat-feds of the United
States.
New YORK, July 13.-A ST. Petersburg
letter TO the London telegraph Just received
here by cable states that the outlook is for
a failure of the Russian wheat crop from
the effects of early frosts, hail and drought,
leaving little hope that famine can be
averted.
In reply to an inquiry by Bradstreets.
j. +. Beer bohm of London, who is we'll
informed of the condition of the wheat crop
of Europe, sends word that the reports OF a
failure of the Russian wheat crop are exag-
gerated and have had no effect ON the mar
kets. He adds that the Russian surplus for
export will be about 6i, ,000, 900 bushels, or a
little more than twO-thirds of an average
annual export during the past four years.

to have the matter made public has pre-
vented the doctor reporting the case for tia
benefit of the profession. He has, how
ever, taken into consultation a famous En-
2lsh physician, who agrees with him in pro-
pouncing the case unparalleled.
The child is an Intelligent little girl, of
gentle disposition, and apparently quite
healthy. When asked why she wants to suck
her blood she declares she is thirsty for it,
and cannot help doing it. Her singular ap-

OHIO DEMOCRATS.
An Effort on Foot to Defeat The RenOm-
ilatiOl Of Governor Campbell.

CLEVELAND, July 13.-Delegates to the
Ohio Democratic Convention are rapidly
gathering here. 1t is conceded by all un-
prejudiced ones that Governor Campbell
will he renominated on the first ballot His
opponents are Lawrence T. Neal of Chilli
cOthe and Virgil p. Kline of Cleveland.
Up TO to-day Neal was his principal COM
petltor, but within few hours the Kline
boomle I assumed proportions which make
him apparently the only probable opponent
OF Campbell. The logic of the situation
has caused all of the anti Campbell men to
combine under the battle-cry OF anything
to beat Campbell" and the question was
who was the most available candidate. To
this question now there is little division Of
sentiment 1t is understood the anti Camp
bellites Will struggle hard to create break
In the ranks of the enemy. but the Chair
man OF the State Central Committee to-
night believes Campbell will be nominated
Oh the first ballot. The platform is sub
Ject OF much discussion. Ii has been de-
cided that the party Will stand by its posi-
tlon OF year ago on all the leading issues,
commend the Campbell administration, de-
noGnce the Republican National Admins
tration, denounce the Fifty-first Congress
Tor extravaganza, denOunce The Mckinley
Tariff Bill and demand reduction of tariff
taxes.
While the free-coinage sentiment is strong
there is lively opposition to 1t, and many
conservative Democrats are urging that the
financial question be not made an issue
at all.
Although the preliminary meetings of
committees will be held tomorrow the con-
vention proper will not be held until Wednes-
day.
Allen W. Thurman, son of the "Old
Roman" is to be temporary Chairman.
The feeling against Campbell among the
it is a very snnguine man indeed who
would predict harmony in the convention.
Governor Canipbell's friends are COM
planning Of the circulation of canard to
the effect that he contempaIes declining
the nomination, after winning the fight, and
that the Campbell men will then thr ow the
domination to Mcmahon of Day ton. The
story receives no general credence.

manded their business. Learning that they
were customs officers he started back to the
ship, but the officers covered him with re-
volyers and compelled him to take them
to the soop. They found the vessel was a
smnggler, having sixteen Cinnamon on
board, who were to be landed on the United

days the vessel will be confscated and sold
