The Henley Annual Regatta

Henley-on-Thalnes, July iA.-Amsd
beautiful weather. although a stiH
wind blew at intervals from the Berk-
shire shore. h Henley regatta OF 1881
began today. The crowd on the ranks
was not so large nor as demonstrating
as usual. but the celebrated stretch cf
a mile and a quarter, Just below Herr

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, July 1.-THE
two large reservoirs in the Fishkill
mountains, which supplied water to
the towns of Matteawan and Fishkill,
bursc their walls at 2 o'clock this
morning aud the water that was releas-

causing ruin mi death. rive bodies
have been taken from the Wreckage left
in the wake Of the flood n there are
known to be two and probably three
more lying somewhere beneath the
piled up debris which is all that re-
mains of three houses that were swept
away by the mighty torrent. -
Van Buren, & Timohy's brick yards,
on the Hudson, just below Duchess
Junction, are a mile distant from the
site of the lower reservoir. Without
warning the flood reached them
through the ravine and made terrible
havoc. Buildings were torn in pieces
and their occupants carried away in
the raging flood.
The reservoir is of oval shape, about
500 feet long and 300 feet wide and 80 or
80 feet deep. 1t is used as an auxiliary
supply to the regular water works sys-
tenn Of Matteawan and Fishkill land

is distant about tour miles. The lar

siderable lake, near North Beacon,
which has massive masonry and is m

much lower down the mountain, which
was built to reduce the pressure into
the pipes, is also unbroken. These two

feed into the same pipes.

Tariff Conferees Further Apart Than Eve

Tariff Conferees Further Apart Than Ever
Washington, July 1.-THE conferees
on the tariff bill found themselves to-
day apparently further apart than they
were at the beginning of the confer
ence. There was no immediate pros
pect of agreement and more than one
member stated that the ENHANCEMENT
was such that the settlement might be
indefinitely prolonged. They state in
a very reserved manner that there are
numerous questions Of difference, but
refuse to go into details, even to other
and members. From all that
car be learned, however, there has been
a general recession from the partial
agreements made on the more impor-
tant articles until sugar, wool. hides,
ETC., can be definitely fixed. Sugar In
still the principal contention. The best
reports represent the hous conferees
with Speaker Reed behind them, a.
holding out for the rouse sugar sche-
dule without any change whatever,
and the senators Is quite determined
not to yield to this extent. The house
conferees insist that this schedule must
be definitely fixed before other ques-
tons shall be again taken UP.

differences have arisen il the senate

amendment, but the senator's. while

PRESIDENT SAM. OF HAYTI.
Imprisonment for resisting a policeman,
which Lueders denies. Thereupon he de-
manded a second trial, obtained it, wit
nesses testified that they had not seen
him strike the policeman, but in spite
Of this Leuders was resentenced, this
time to pay a fine of $500 and to under
go a years imprisonment. The original
trouble between Lueders and the police
man, it S claimed, in his behalf, was
due to the latter forcing his way into
his residence, contrary to the law, in
order to arrest one of his servants.
After LEADERS, second trial the Ger
man minister took the matter in hand,
and on oct. II he went to the president
of Hayti, Augustin Simon Sam, and de-
manded, in the name of the German
emperor, that Leuders be set at lib
erty, and also demanding for every day
the latter a spent in prison, 25 days
in all, an indemnity of $1,000 in gold.
The minister added that for every other
day Lueders was kept a prisoner after
oct. II he, the representative Of Ger
many, would demand an indemnity OF
$1,000 in gold.
President Sam at first refused to
grant the minister's demand and Leu
ders renamed IN prison six days longer.
Thereupon the German minister noti-
fled the Haytien government that he
had hauled down his flag and had sent
the archives of the German legation
to the legation Of the United States,
thus severing all diplomatic relations
with the government of Hayti.
The action of the German minister
caused a great deal of excitement at
Port au Prince. There We're threats to
lynch the prisoner, the life of the Ger
man minister was threatened, it was
proposed to attack the legation, and
acting upon the advice of his counsel
lors, who were not DESTROYS of precipi-
Eating further trouble, President sam
ordered Lueders released. Leuders
reached New York on oct. 80, and sailed
for Europe the same day.
The United States is credited here with
offering its Intervention in the difficulty
between Germany and Hayti. But the
German government is waiting for the
arrival Of Herr Lueders and the report
Of Count schwerin, due by tho next
mail packet.

Inherited blood diseases are much
more difficult to cure than those which
are acquired. One of the most common
hereditary diseases is Scrofula, which
the medical profession admit is most
obstinate and deepseated, and their eff.
forts to cure it meet with little success.
A child afflicted with Scrofula is always
puny and sickly, and can never grow
into healthy manhood until the disease
is eliminated. Scrofula leads into con-
sumption nine times out of ten, so that
It is important for this reason that inn

being such that it was impossible to
