HAYTI Is EXCITED.
A Rumor Reaches There That Ger
man Warships are Coming.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The Haytian min
lister, Mr. Leger, called at the state de-
partment yesterday, having news from
home of most disgusting nature. Sec
retary Sherman being still confined to
his house by a cold and Assistant Secre-
tary Day having attended the president
on his journey to Canton, Second Assist
and Secretary Adee was acting secretary
of state and to him the minister had re-
course. 1t appears his government had
cabled him from Port Au Prince that the
Haytian consul at Kingston Jamaica,
had telegraphed that two German war
ships sailed yesterday from that place
for Port Au Prince
The news has created excitement in the
town and all over the island, and disturb
ances are apprehended The foundation
for the statement is believed to be that
the two German school ships which have
been cruising in southern waters are just
starting their way northward to the
United States About the middle of last
September the German charge here, DR..
Reicheneau, formally advised the state
department that the German cadet school
ship Stein would arrive at Charleston, S.
c., February next, and that the cadet
school ship Charlotte would arrive at the
same port on February II. They are to
depart on the 18th and 18th of February.
Neither of these vessels can properly be
regarded as warships, although they are
attached to the German navy and carry
a large number of young naval cadets.
Nevertheless the Haytian minister fears
that their appearance in Haytian waters
at this juncture may lead to serious trou-

MURDERIN s. CAROLINA.
Christian People invited to Unite in
Upholding the Sacredness of
Human Life

Columbia, S. c, Dec. 4.-Following the
reports of solicitors to the attorney gem
eral, which show that the number of muir
ders just doubled in the state for the last
year, reached total of 200 Rt. Rev. Ell
Hson Captohes, bishop of the diocese of
South Carolina, last night issued an adj
dress to the Protestant Episcopal clergy,
reproducing the resolutions on the preva~
Ience of murders passed at the last meet>
ing of the diocesan council, supplementing
that with a vigorous statement. fixing
December 19 as the day when all clergy
of the diocese shall preach against the
crime of murder, now so prevalent in
our state' and inviting the ministers of
Christ of all denominations to unite on
that day in upholding the sacredness of
human life and the honor of our beloved
state"
The bishop says 'the sin of murder is
upon us. Homicides are of frequent, dis
tressing occurrence, and in our judgment
the public conscience needs to be instruct
ed and the public mind aroused to a sense
of the danger which threatens the char
acter of our people. The soldier on the
battlefield. the officer of the law In dis
charge of his prescribed duties the cit-
zen in defense of his own life, may take
life without incurring the guilt of murder,
for they act by warrant of delegated au-
thority of rulers who are Gods minis
ters,' and bear the sword by divine au-
thority' to punish evildoers,' but such
murders as have of late outraged the law
of God and degraded the sacredness of life
and dishonored the courage and character
of our people can lay no claim whatever
to the sanction of divine authority.
1--WE feel that public sentiment needs to
be aroused to a higher and nobler esti-
mate of human life. We call upon our
clergy to rebuke the murderers and to
proclaim the law of Almighty God"

Daily won the game. There was con-

fact that the losing man would occupy
last position in the tournament at the
close. Sutton at times put up d bril-

New York Dec. 4.-Frank D. Mowbray,
until recently Howard GouId's valet. has
begun suit against Mr. Gould and his bro
ther George for $4,000 for injuries sus-
tanned by the explosion of a signal rocket
while employed as steward on George
Gould's yacht Hndegarde on July 4, 1894.
AIowbray alleges that Howard Gould,
after the explosion, became greatly ex-
cited and told him not to say a word
about it to reporters nor to disclose the
names of those aboard the yacht at the
time, promising to take care of him and
give him employment the rest of his
life.
The FIildegarde was purchased by
George Gould from the Prince of Wales,
and the former is named as defendant be-
cause he was the owner of the vessel, al
though he was not on board at the time OF
the accident.
Scott &. Clarke of 10S Fulton street are
counsel for Mowbray Mr.. Scott says
that Howard Gould. with a. pleasure par

any fireworks aboard. Mowbray found
some rockets in the hold, where they had

vessel, and Mr.. Gould ordered them set
off.
0Iowbray asserts that he was afraid to
obey. and told Mr.. Gould that it was dan
agerous. as the rockets were damp and
old, having been on board the yacht six
or seven years. Mr.. Gould, he alleges, in
sisted upon having a pyrotechnical dis
fplay. and commanded him to set off the
pieces.
Il had set off several he says, "and

Mr.. Scott says that Mr.. Gould implored

he was dismissed.
He wrote to Mr. Gould several times
telling of his inability to obtain work be-

The southern part Of North Dakota
