Unable TO Agree.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. June 19.-It is definitely
settle that the Order Of Railway Telegraphers
and the Brotherhood Of relegraphers will not
consolidate for at least year. The commit
tee haying the matter in charge reported to
the convention this morning that they
were unable to reach mutual agreement and
the committee was discharged. The main
rock upon which the committee split was the
eligibility clause. the railway men insisting
that no operator was qualified for membership
in the organization until after three years
service. and the Brotherhood people contend
ing that one year should be sufficient. II Is
now thought steps will be taken TO organize
The telegraphers of the United States without
regard - commercial or railway service into
a national association.
The following officers have oeen elected for
lhe ensuing year: A. ID. Thurston. Vinton,
Iowa, grand chief telegrapher; ). o. Fox,

Hon. q. ID. Ramsey. East st. Louis assistant

NEW YoRK. June 19-According TO letter
received from.P Portau-P Prince yesterday, Presi-

four political prisoners from the Mexican
consulate IN the Haitian capital When the
sntire diplomatic corps called on the President
niay 50th to protest against this violation of
the international law Hippolyte attempted 20
play high-handed game of bluff. and he
might have succeeded had not the German
Consul threatened to report the matter 10 his
Government.
Minister Fred Douglass il is said in the let
ter. stood trembling with fear and heard the
black ruler insult the flag of every civilized
nation. almost including his own, and he did
not dare offer any protest.
Terror Teigns supreme at Port-au-Prince.
HlppOlyte 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 Sc
cretly at work in Port-au-Prince Hippolyte,
the writer thinks, is undoubtedly crazy. and
stated that when tOnsus called on him he
became angry and rushed ont of the room
and was soon after heard playing q flute IN
the next room The consuls were leaving
when the Minister OF Foreign Affairs rushed
IN and begged them to remain. saying the
President had been summoned away on i'm
pOrtant matters, but would return immediate
ly. The minister then went out and appar-
emily demonstrated with HippOlyte, as he soon
re-entered the room and excused himself on
the same grounds mentioned by his ministers.
Referring again to Minister Douglass. the
writer says he evidently regards the Haitian
Government with much more veneration than
his own. The writer vigorously adds that as
the tnited States claims moral jurisdiction
over Haiti 1t is shout time minister of some
decision was sent thereto TO replace Douglass.
The members of the diplomatic corps have
appealed to Douglass to sustain the moral
position the Monroe doctrine calls for, but IN
