Nsw YoRk, Sept. 4.-WiiliAm Howe.
superintendent Of the cargo Of the steam
ship Alert, arrived today from Haytien
ports. He says the steamers plying from
HAyti TO foreign countries must conform TO
the Haytien laws, but where new laws are
made every week only to be amended the
next, it is often impossible for the captains
of vessels to know precisely what 10 do on
arriving, As new regulations have probably
been made while the steamer was at sea
Mr.. Howe Gays: I'VE were compelled TO
pay compulsory pilotage fees in all ports
there, yet the pilot very seldom boards =
vessel until the anchor is let 20 in the
harbor. Then he is sure to come aboard
for his fes-S27, Hsytien money, $2l 55
our money"
Mr.. Howe particularizes come vexatious
delsy., the evils TO which steamships were
subjected Ii seems that on Aug. "a. the
steamer Eowens from New York, after
dischsrging her cargo at Port de PAX
sailed for another Haytien port where the
captain was threatened with a dne Of $500
rs steamers were not allowed to arrived
after 6 Z. M. or before 6 A. M. Owing
to some arrangement the steamer arrive
shortly after the prescribed time and the
captain having once entered the haroor
was 10th to sail again Immediately As he
would be liable to another fine Of $500 for
sailing during the prescribed hours,
Upon sending ashore TO ascertain from
The authorities what was necessary 10 be
done to expedite matters and violate 70
law. the captain found all the officials in
the village nine miles away preparing for
junketing the next day. When Hsytien
customs officers and petty officials do not
feel like work they are only induced to at
tend to business by the paym of heavy
gtatuities. On the last homeward voyage
Of Captain Howe's own ship (Alert) = stop
page was made at Capt Hayu. This stop
was only an accommodation for port-to
land mails, for which the company receives
nothing, yet the vessel was detained and
the officers badly treated and fined.

CHILIAN RECIPROCITY.
epsouIations Regarding 1t oratuito %
an Iliadvissd.

WAsHINGroN, Sept. 4.-Some specula-
ton has been iodulged in as to the probable
defest of Mr.. Blsine's reciprocity plans
with Chilli in view Of the success of The
Junta, and is has been elaborxtely argued
that the new government would retaliate on
the American government for is indiffer-
epce to them by refusing to listen to reci-
procity overtures, writes the Mail and
Express correspondent. Such speculation
is gratuitous and ill-advised, for the simple
reason that Mr.. Blaine never for one
moment contemplated reciprocity with
Chill.
In the first place The delegate from Chill
to the Pan-American Congress was the only
gentleman who voted against the recipro-
city resolutions, stating frankly that his
government did not want any reciprocal
trade arrangeme nts with the United States.
In the next place Mr.. Blaine could not ar.
range any basis for reciprocity with Chill
Its principal articles Of expectation are
wool, the nitrates and copper. OF
these, the nitrates are already on
the free lis.; and Is for copper, the home
supply Of it is so vast that it would not pay
the owners of the Chilian copper mines to
attempt to export into America in competi-
ton with the home product. As for wool
in is not at all likely, in view Of the great
fight always made by tn. Republican party
for the protection of the wool grower. any
effort will ever be made to let free wool
come here from Chill. Hence it is evident
that Mr. Blaine never contemplated Chilisn
reciprocity.
All information received from Chill today
at the departments was comprised in the
following csblegram received from Ad-
miral Brown, dated Valparaiso, September
3: Business fully resumed. Everything
quiet. Congressional committee, including
two cabinet ministers, srrived from Iqaique,

A BACK NUMBER.
BsImacsdas Minister Had just Got
to Appreciate Warrington Life.

WAsHrsGToN. Sept. 4.-The dignity and
etiquette with which questions are discussed
with back number envoy who represents
= government with very little past and no
future, is impressive. Washington society,
however, will doubtless regret the departure
Of Lszcano more than Ssntisgsn society
will regret the less Of Mr.. Egan. The
minister who is not q minister is very
genial gentleman and exceedingly clever
Mrs Lazcsno is an American, that is. 4
native of the United States, and naturally
felt elased at coming back to the land Of
her nativity the wife OF foreign minister.
The two anticipated fine time in society
the coming season. Mr.. Lazcano WAS TAX
ing instructions in the English tongue from
the accomplished Mrs. Butler, wife Of the
late lamented and ever brilliant George
Butler, whose career was hardly less cratic
than that of the late Laurence Oliphant.
Mrs. Butler speaks of her pupil as a prod
ICY, though not an infant one. The for
tunes Of war have cut short the Senor's
English and Mrs. Lazcsno's society plans.
The whole situation, leaving out the horri-
BILE carnage, furnishes . subject for the
pen of the comic opera machine, which is
rarely found il real political and diplomatic
life.
Assistant Secretary Wharton will not say
what steps will be taken TO establish the
entente cordial with the insulted late "in-
surgents." Bolivia negotiated treaty with
the "ins surgents' in the interest of trade, the
"insurgents" having absolute control Of an
important portion Of Chile, while all the
time maintaining equally friendly relations
with the BalmHcedAns.
OF course Lszcano will be recognized as
minister until he is supplanted, which may
not happen until an election is held in Chill.
Mr.. Egsn may possibly remsin until ii is
suggested by the new government that he
is persona non gras, The Chillians are
diplomats and will not move with unseemly
haste. While Mr.. Esan may be exceed
ingly offensive to the new government,
he will be treated with utmost
respect in diplomatic circles while he re-
mans, and be protected from harm and
popular insult, 1t is suggested by some OF
his countrymen that he may not return to
the United States, but that he may establish
himself in Paris as an agitatur for free
Ireland.

MORE CORRUPTION
UnaaIthsd in the Investigation Of the
Canadian Scandal.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 4.-Before the
public accounts committee today it was
shown that in 1885 some 5000 worth of
goods, alleged to be bought from Burcier
Bros, dry goods merchants (conservatives)
by the public works department, was in
reality supplied in the Bourcler's s
name, by II. c. la Rose, (Liberal g,
a dry goods man. 1t appeared from the
evidence for the prosecution that the goods
were ordered from La Rose by c. Di0nne
and ii. Talbot, clerks in the department,
and the goods never reached the depart
ment, but went to the clerks private
houses. These men got the &C
counts from La Rose, took them
to the department. and the next
day brought LsRose governmt n. check.
Bourcier admitted lending LaRose his
name, and LsRose and his book keeper
both swore positively to the facts. Talbot
swcre the goods were all sent to the depart
ment, Diopne swors the goods he ordered
he paid for in cash.
