ExaspERATING NEIGHBoRS OF OURS.
How Haytisns Harass Sea Captains
In Their Ports.
a Crime to Arrive and a Crime to
Sail Away.
The Usual Bad News from the Land
Of the celestIais.

NEW YORK, September 4.-Willam Howe,
supercargo of the steamship Alert. arrived
today from Haytien ports. He says that
steamers plying from Hayti to foreign coun-
tries must conform to Haytien laws. but
where laws are made every week, only to be
amended the next, 1t Is often impossible for
the captains Of vessels to know precisely
what to do on arriving. as the new regula-
tlons were probably made while the steamer
was at sea. Mr.. Howe says: I'VE are COM
pelled to pay compulsory pilotage fees In all
ports there, yet a pilot very seldom
boards the vessel until the anchor Is
let go in the harbor. Then he Is sure to
come aboard for his fee Of S27 in Haytien
money or $24.55 In our money"
Mr.. Howe partculariZes some veXat10uS
delays and evils to which steamships are
subjected. Il seems that on August oath,
the steamer R0wena from New York, after
discharging her cargo at Port de Paix, sailed
for another Haytien port, where the captain
was threatened with Ia nne OF $500, as
steamers were not allowed to arrive after 8
p. m. or before a. m. Owing to some de-
rangement, the steamer arrived shortly after
the prescribed time. The captain, having
once entered the harbor, was 10th to sail
again Immediately, as he would be liable to
duOLn6E uue OI GoUU IOT odlllUB uuEluB buo
prescribed hours. Upon sending ashore to
ascertain from the authorities wnat was nee
essary to be done to settle mat
ters and violate no law, the captain
found all the officials In village nine miles
away preparing for q junketiDg the next
day. When the Haytlen customs officers
and petty officials do not feel like work they
can only be induced to attend to business by
the payment Of heavy gratuities. On the
last homeward voyage Of Captain Howe's
own ship, the Alert, a stop was made at
Cape Haytien. This stop was only an accom-
modation for the port to land the mails, for
which the company receives nothing. Yet
the vessel was detained and the officers bad
ly treated and fined.

deep sea excursions had been reached. On
the wharf, behind the closed gates, many
unfortunates, who had come to late, cast rue

steamer. But the boat did not start and fin

news spread that the fleet had not left Bath,

sUILT OF ALUMINIUM.
u May Work a Revolution In tho
Building OF Boats.

BOSTON. September IA letter from
Munich to local paper gives the following
account OF the building OF the first aluminium
boat:
The aluminium factory Of Esher. Wyss Il
Co.. In Zurich-the FIRST company In Europe
that has achieved any practical results In
the manufacturing Of the new metal by
means Of an electrical current-has Just
turned out the first alaminum boat Of the
worid, and has sent IL TO the electrical ex-
position at Frankfort in Germany. Before
II was sent away, however, IL was tried on
the Lake OF Zurich, where also the first
trials OIL the naphtha motor and the electric
launch took place.
The new boat has the size and shape OF an
ordinary steam launch for ten persons, and
Is driven by an engine very similar 10 that Of
the naphtha boats, with the only difference
that the flame Is constantly kept going.
whether the boat Is In motion or not. The
hull looks as II Ii were covered with slate
colOred paint. Upon closer inspection, how
ever, II Is seen that this Is the dull gray
sheen OF the metal Itself Inside, everything
has this same gray c0l0r-with the exception
c0urse-for everything Is made OF aluminium,
the screws, handles and hinges, as well as
the small smokestack, which Is polished so
as TO resemble frosted silver.
Not only the visible parts, but also the
rudder, the screw and the engine house are
made Of the new metal. The engine house
alone weighs 90 pounds, or nearly half the
weight Of all the aluminium In the boat. As
one pound Of the metal at present costs
about So, 1t Is easy to calculate the average
price OF such launch. The weight Of the
whole boat with its boiler and pipes OF cop
per and the anchor and anchor chain Of iron
Is $50 pounds, nearly one-half the weight ef
q two horse power naptha launch OF the
same size. The fact that II can be made so
much lighter than any boat Of wood or iron
for the specific weight OF aluminium com
pared to iron Is as two to seven-of course Is
one OF the advantages Of the new boat. At
the first trial OF speed at Zurich. IL made
seven miles an hour, two miles more than
the average speed Of the Zurich naptha
launches. 10 boats Of another construction
and with more powerful motor. OF course,
the rate Of speed could be considerably In
creased. Another advantage which will r. :
commend itself TO most boat builders Is that
none Of the most Important parts, like the
| screw OF the rudder, have to be protected
| against rust, for aluminium neither rusts or
furnishes. 1t Is this quality also, together
with Its lightness, which has recommended
II so extensively for cheap iewelry, cuff but
| tons, cane handles, opera glasses and the
like. Whether the new boat will have such
commercial success remains to be seen.

News and Opinions Concerning the

ons. American consul at Hong Kong, ar
rived in this city yesterday. Mr.. Simons
stated that nothing in the shape Of a war
scare existed in either Hong Kong or Yoko-
hama when he left. Speaking of the spirit
of rebellion. which peryades the Chinese
hordes, Mr. Simons said that some eminent
writers see in the disaffection deep rooted
antipathy to the Manchulian dynasty. rath-
er than desire to clash with the missiona-
ries or any other classes Of foreigners.
In order to hasten the end In view it is
quite possible that the rebels may embroil
themselves with the workers in the cause OF
Christianity, but the underlying motive is
assuredly to bring about a general rev0lu-
tion in the hope that the Tartar rules may
be deposed and the Chinese themselves hold
sway once more.
Continuing, Mr.. Slmons said: 81 have
witnessed no outbreaks against the Europe
amor American residents. The natives are
undoubtedly restless, however, and there
may be trouble at any time. The secret So
clety Of Koa Lo. which has been the cause
OF the disquletude, Is manipulated by very
shrewd and we'll educated men, who
know how to incite the Coole element to
ueeds OF violence. 1t Is even believed that
some Of the Mandarins are among the lead
ers OF the society, whose Interior objects,
although not positively known, are believed
to be the destruction Of the present Chinese
government, the overthrow of the Tartar
uynaSty anu Eue DanISnment Uf all fvIuIgu
residents"
The Hong Kong Telegraph of August 9th
says: THE recent riots are significant In this
respect, that IL is evident they were inspired
by the gentry and educated classes and that
those engaged were either members of secret
societies or in league with them. These Sc
cret societies are controlled by the educated
classes, who wish to embaIrass relations
with the foreigners, so as to make rebellion
more feasible. 1t Is difficult to conceal the
fact that China is. ripe for rebellion when
we look at the. misrule and extortion pre-
valling throughout the country"
The Shanghai Mercury prints a transla-
tion Of the report of Tsung Ii Iyimen which
was printed in the Pekin Gazette. The En-
peror's decree in regard to the recent riots
was based on the memorial which points out
the good teachings of the missionaries and
the benefits derived from their schools, hos
pitals, ETC., and strongly recommends pro-
lection for them and a cOnctlatory course
towards them on the part Of the people.

the party went on board the

early history Of the island, once the scene of
busy industry, but now deserted. The next
stopping place was Sagadahoc Point, which
afforded fine view of the bay and adjacent
islands; then landing was made at Arrow
sic Island, and the history of the various set
Elements here reviewed. OF the two once
thriving settlements there scarcely vestige
remains. Here the party was Hospitality re-
ceived by the present proprietor, Mr.. Morse,
and Mr.. Thayer again entertained the mem
bers with history of this place. The site
of the old fort was inspected. After an
hour pleasantly passed here the steamer was
again taken and the party proceeded to

mond, a vote of thanks was passed to the
committee who had so successfully conduct
