Fair haired people are becoming less
numerous than formerly. The ancient
Hebrews were a fair haired race; now
they are, with few exceptions, dark. So
it is in lesser degree with the Irish,
among whom $50 years ago a dark
haired person was almost unknown.

A CONDITION OF CHAOS
Corrupt Administration in Hayti ROuses The

late president, who ruled with firm
but brutal hand, the uneasy spirits
were kept In check, and suspects We're

las Augustus Simon Sam, is not n
man of the same callber either mem
TALLY or physically, as his predecessor,
and the constant dlsagreements with
his ministers, the unjust and corrupt
administration of his dependents, and
above all, the terrible depression from
which the country has been suffering
during the last twelve months, have
combined to rouse the populace into
state OF ferment, which, unless prompts
ly quclled, VIII have serious results.
The appointment of Callsthen Fou-
chard as minister OF finance, few
months ago. was hailed with delight by
the people, and he was everywhere
greeted as the deliverer of his country
But the presidents jealousy caused his
downfall and exile. He is now In the

the new candidate for the presidency
to stand or fan together in any attempt
which may be made upon the presi-

arrive here shortly, when the ball Will

among the people, the resignation Of
Firmin, the successor of Fouchard. and
the eNactions of the government, have
caused condition of chaos. Merchants
refuse to lend the government money.
ard as the treasury has been depleted
a revolution Is almost inevitable. The

Warrensburg. Mo-, Sept 23.--Sensa-
tional charges are made as a result of
the alleged abduction of Mrs. stu, a
young farmers wife. who is alleged to
have been taken from her husband by
two young men of this county and
held a prisoner by them for nearly a

at Knobnoster, and yesterday she told
the prosecuting attorney a new story

men who took her from her husband

General Emilio Nunez, when seen n
few hours after his arrival in the city

expedition to Cuba, spoke enthusiastic
ally of the courage Of the woman who
plans systematic patriotic support

DIR. Rial was wonderful man, with
great intellectual ability. combined

The news in the foregoing dispatch
Is Of deep interest to railway people
In Utah, especially those associated
with roads that find an avenue in the
Ogden gateway, The present culmina-
ton OF the Union Pacific affairs with
the government was not altogether
unanticipated. for the proposition has
been under discussion for long time.
But the fact that the reorganization
proposition has been assented to by the
President removes the element OF I'M
certainty which has attended the
Union Pacific policy 20 long.
The situation now presented Is caus-
ing other roads To feel that they are in
a position to figure with some definite
ness for the future Whether one re-
suit Of the reorganization approval will
be a closing of the ogden gateway re-
mains to be seen. It is argued that as
the Union Pacific and allied interests
under the reorganization will control
n majority Of the Oregon Short Line
stock. there will be an upheaval in that
quarter which viii close the Ogden
gateway and inaugurate some very
radical changes. on the other hand. it
is urged that the direct Central
Pacific connection is better for Union
Pacific business tlian IL the northwest
ern outlet, and that the Short Line will
be left to get its share OF business
from the roads couverging at Ogden.
One thing certain the announcement
of what the government viii do offers
prospect for speedy settlement of
the traffic dispute between the Oregon
Short Line and the Union Pacific The
latter, upon the new basis, will be In
a position to make advances and enter
into agreements that might have been
inconsistent under the old arrange
ments. though the practical control of
the road has not changed hands. This
being the case the Union Pacific and
Short Line differences soon may be at
an end.
The roads that have an entry into
Salt Lake by way OF the Rio Grande
Western are particularly interested in
ascertainin6 whether the closing of the
Ogden gateway is probability of
