Minister Douglass Dispatch to Secretar.
Blaine on the Subject.

The Secretary Of State has received a dis
patch from Hon. Frederick Douglass, minister
to Hayti, concerning the visit of Mr. F. A.
ODER, the special commissioner for the
worlds Columbian exposition to that re-
public. Mr.. Douglass says that Mr.. Ober's
intelligent zeal and gentlemanly department
made it both agreeable and easy for the lega-
ton to give to his mission the cordial cooper
alton which would have been rendered in any
case on the ground of duty. He states
that he lost no time in securing for Mr.
ODER an interview with Mr.. Firmin. the minister
of foreign affairs, to whom he presented in a
clear and forcible manner the purpose of
his visit, outlining the interest already
shown by Cuba, and felicitously stating
what was desired from Hayti. Mr.. Douglass
availed himself of the opportunity to second
all that Mr.. ODER had said in regard to the i'm
portance of the exposition and the desirability
Of having Hayti fifty and fully represented.
Mr.. Firmin assured them of his interest in
favor of the participation of his country in the
proposed exposition and expressed his regret
that the absence from the capital of his
colleague, with President Hyppolite pre-
vented him from laying the subject Immediately
before the government The hope was expressed
that on Mr.. Obers return to Hayti at the ex-
piration of few weeks he would find them in
the city, when definite action would be taken
by the government for an honorable participa-
ton in the exposition. The minister states
that the commissioner left pleasing impress
sion behind him, both of himself personally
and in favor of his mission.

REFORM IN THE NAVY YARDS.
How Skilled and UnskilIed Laborers Will
Be Put to Work.

Secretary Tracy's new scheme for the reform
of the public service in the navy yards will
probably be put into effect within a few days
Assistant Secretary Solely is now at work pre-
pairing set of rules and regulations
that will furnish the machinery for the
system, and these are expected to be
ready for PRONUNCIATION this week.
Mr.. Solely is well qualified for this work
of preparation, as by the direction of the Sec
rotary he recently visited Boston, where he
made an exhaustive study of the system of en-
ploying labor on municipal work.
TIE PLAN IN BOSTON.
He said this morning to a STAR reporter:
1.-The city of Boston is the only one in the
country that has eliminated politics from the
municipal labor field. and the general ideas and
methods of this system are to be taken as the
foundation upon which Secretary Tracy
will build his reform. The main feature is a
public registration of applicants for work of
both the skilled and unskilled classes. Appli-
cants are to be registered in the order of
coming and taken for work in turn. In
the case of unskilled labor the first
consideration is experience; second, preference
is to be given to veterans and third, choice will
fall upon men with the largest number of per-
sons dependent upon them. These ekments
weigh in the order of their naming.
AS To SKILLED LABOR.
There will be a separate register kept Of ap-
plicants for skilled labor, but these men will lie
tested in some manner, not yet determined
upon, with a view to ascertaining their value.
There may be some sort of probationary term
devised.
1T is not anticipated that the Inauguration OF
the new system viii at once alter many existing
conditions at the naval establishments in the
various parts of the country. but that the
growth of the new plan will be gradual. finally
extending. as the registration lists grow, to
include every man in the employ of the Navy
Department as a laborer. The force of a navy
yard is largely shifting one and il is not to be
expected that there will be any wholesale
discharges at present. 1t must be borne in
mind that the element of politics is to be ab
solutely eliminated from the employment OF
labor. There will not be the least inquiry into
the political faith of applicants"
1t is understood that the new scheme has the
hearty support of most of the public men who
have anything to do with the distribution OF
navy yard patronage, since il relieves them from
heavy burden. They will no longer be open to
the onslaughts of constituents eager for places,
and they will be put in the position of saying,
truthfully. that they have nothing to say abou,
appO,ntments

INDIANA POLITICS.
What ex-Postmsster Dalton Thinks About
Harrison and Cleveland.

harrison ana cleveland
Mr.. Dalton, the ex-postmaster Of the House,
who is one of the best informed democratic
politicians of Indiana, is in the city for brief
visit. Speaking with a STAR reporter about the
situation Of affairs in his state. he said that
the people there were not thinking very
much about politics Just at this time.
They have been having some bad crops for .
year or two and now seeing Q promise Of Q
good season they are busy preparing 10
get tho best they can out Of it. There is no
doubt, he says that Mr.. Harrison will have q
solid delegation from Indiana in the next re-
publican national convention; though there is
some opposition to him among the republicans
in the state.
cLEvELAND's HOLD ON THE DEMOCRATS.
"As for the democrats he says, II do not
think there can be any doubt about the hold
Cleveland has on the mass of the people Of
Indiana. as he has in many other states. 1t is
hard to judge just how much'opposition TO hun
his silver letter may have provoked. There
are politicians who are fighting against him,
but the workingmen and business men have
confidence in him. They believe him TO be
honest and frank and they are for him. / am ia

who work for me feel They do not care any

ABOUT the same state of feeling Is found, and
