A CRISIS IN HAITI.
Resignation Of HippoIyte's Cabinet After
Defeat in the Deputies.

Resignation Of HippoIyte's Cabinet After
Defeat in the Deputies.
PoRr Az PRINCE. Aug. ia noisy and
turbulent session of the chamber of depu-
ties yesterday closed with vote of censure
against the members of the Hippolyte
cabinet, and was followed by the ministers
handing their resignation to the president.
For while ii was feared there would be
bloodshed between the friends and oppo-
nents of the cabinet, so heated was the
discussion, but comparative quiet soon
prevailed. It is now asserted that the
cabinets resignation was owing to the
failure ofthe chamber of deputies to grant
. concession for a telegraph line. The
cabinet had made this a government ques-
ton and the deputies rejected the PROPOSE
ton by large majority. They at once re-
rigned.
Hippolyte has not yet decided whom he
viii select for the vacant places. He does not
shink the designations will have much po-
litical effect. The downfall of the cabinet
has been the principal topic of converse
ton in political circles, and much curios-
ity has been manifested with reference to
the composition of the new ministry. As
regards reports that a cabinet resignation
would result in another civil war, if the
disaffected element has anynotion of taking
advantage of the present crisis, it is work
ing secretly, so that nothing appears
on the surface

which would not be displayed by man at

not affect his general health in the shght-
est degree.
Today the emperor visited the works OF
the North sea canal. In spite OF his IN
jured knee, wet roads and heavy rains, ne
walked the entire distance from the land
ing stage to the works, minutely exalnin-
ing every point of interest on foot.
The emperor is displeased on account OF
the French visit to Cronstadt following
SO closely his own visit to Russia.
The Russian ukase is also hard Knock
which he would be glad to return II pos
sible. Further, his visit to England Is
generally believed not TO have pro-
duced the results he expected. Re-
ports of the actual signing OF a
Franco-Russian alliance are not be-
lieved here On the first announcement
of the French visit to Cronstadt 1t was
thought the French were forcing them
selves on Russia, but the official character
of the receptions of Cronstadt have given
rise TO forebodings.
The grand reception promised the
French fleet at Portsmouth is accepted
here as a counter-blast to the recent
pompous festivities in honor Of the en-
peror's visit to England.

DEVELOPMENT OF YUCArAN.
Sugar Plantations Established and Fiber
Industry Extended.

industry Extended.
WASHINGTON CRY, Aug. 1.-THE bureau
of American republics is in receipt of in
teresting information in regard to the
growth of the sugar industry in Yucatan.
Hitherto Hennequin fiber has been great
product of the province, and its present
wealth has been almost wholly dependent
upon that industry, but capitalists of the
state are now investing in splendid sugar
lands in the southern section and bringing
experienced sugar makers from Cuba to
manage the new plantations. Until re-
Gently much sugar was imported from
Havana, as the local production is not
large enough for the consumption, but
now it is believed the sugar industry can
go hand IN hand with Hennequin fibre,
the latter being confined to partially arid
lands in the northern part of the state,
while the rich vegetable soil in the south
ern part is given over to the production of
sugar. A significant feature Of the devel-
opment of both industries is that every
thing has been accomplished with native
capital and native resources.
The bureau of American republics is in
formed that the official reception and in
augural ceremony IN connection with the
establishment of great smelter at Mon
terey, Mex, was held last week attended
by many representatives Of government
and other prominent men. The smelter
has already been in operation three
months and the company is now running
three furnaces and smelling at the rate of
150 tons of ore daily.
The bureau is also informed that
steamer of the Royal Mail line recently
left Port Limo, Costa Rica, for England,
with 10000 sacks of coffee, the largest sim
gle shipment ever made from Costa RIGA.
More coffee was offered, which could not
be taken by the vessel.

Hundreds OF Families on the Verge Of
starvation-A Gloomy Outlook.
LONDON, Aug. 15.-Notwithstanding the
fact of depression in the iron and tln-plate
trade and the closing of works in conse-
quence, caused by the falling off of the de-
mand for coal. 10000 miners in Aberdare
district, South Wales, have gone on
strike.
Owing to the depression in the iron
trade, operations in many of the principal
iron works in the Cumberland district
have been suspended for some time past,
and the inability of workmen to procure
employment is causing the most acute
distress. Six thousand persons were
thrown out Of employment by the many
stoppages Of works, and a large number
of them have earned nothing for
years. The outlook for the coming
winter is gloomy. Hundreds of fami-
lies Of iron-workers are on the
verge of starvation. So serious has the
situation become that the authorities have
decided 10 start public works to give en-
ployment to the many idle men in the dis
trict, and thus avert the famine threat
ened
The Pail Mall Gazette, in an article on
British trade, gives as a further evidence
of the declining trade of the country. the
great decrease in wheat traffic in Scotland.
