Hayti Must Pay Indemnity for In
prisonment Of Luedefs.
A Warship to be Sent to Port-au-prince to
Insist Upon the Claim.
Indications Of Another Revolution
in Nicaragua-The People Rest
tention to Sell the National
Railway and Steamboats,.

BERLIN, Nov. 21.-The German war
ship Gefion will san for Port au Prince,
Hayti, next week, to insist upon re-
dress for the arrest and alleged unlaw-
full Imprisonment in Hayti of Herr
Lueders, a German subject.
Lueders claims that the Haytian po-
lice forced their way into his residence,
contrary to law, to arrest one of his
servants He resisted the police, for
which he was fined $4S and sentenced
to a months imprisonment. Upon APP
peal he was fined $500 and sentenced
to a years imprisonment, although ii
is claimed no evidence was presented
against him.
Thereupon the German Minister de-
manded that Lueders be released and
paid 81 900 for each of the twentythree
days he had been Imprisoned, and So
600 for each additional days imprison-
ment after this demand.
President Sam at first refused to
grant the Minister'S demand, and Lue-
ders remained in prison six days longer.
Thereupon the German Minister no.
titled the Haytian 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 were threats
to lynch the prisoner; it was proposed
to attack the legation. and, acting upon
the advice of his counselors who were
not desirous of precipitating further
trouble, Lueders was released, reached
New York on October Both, and sailed
for Europe the same day.

PROF. SHIELDS GOES OUT.
Tenders His Withdrawal From the
PRESBYTERIAN Church.

PRINCETON On. j., Nov. 1.-THE
New Brunswick Presbytery met in the
First Presbyterian Church here to-day
Professor Charles w. Shields of Prince
ton University, who had been censured
by members of the Presbytery for sign
the petition for license for Princeton
Inn, rendered his withdrawal from the
Presbyterian Church, in order, as his
letter said, that he might 'enter some
other portion of the visible church TO
which the good hand Of God might
guide him.
A resolution was presented by Rev.
Dr. John Dewitt, Professor of Church
History in the theological seminary,
that the resignation of DR.. Shields be
accepted.
There were immediate protests and
requests that a resolution of regret ac-
company the withdrawal.
The argument continued for some
time, and Rev. DR.. Rogan offered a
substitute resolution that a committe
of three clergymen and two laymen be
appointed to confer with DR.. Shields.
1t was finally decided to appoint a
committee of five members to inquire
into and report upon the case The
Rogan and DR. Studdiford, clergy; and
Judge Lanning and DR.. Hamilton, el-
ders
The committee, after an hours delib-
GRAFTON, reported that it had first ac-
cepted DIR. Shields resignation from
the church, and instructed that his
name be removed from the roll.
1t also reported the following reso-
luton:
Resolved, That owing to the previ-
Gus misrepresentation of the action of
the Presbytery, the Presbytery deems
it advisable to call the attention of our
elders, ministers and members to the
deliverances Of the assemblies of 1871
and 1877 in regard to the signing of
petitions for the sale of intoxicating
liquors as beverages"
These reports We're adopted, and the
Presbytery adjourned sine die.

began to visit the jail at the request of
the Jail physician, who thought that he
could do Mrs Mack good. Mr.. Miles
said that during his first visits to the
jail Mrs. Mack ridiculed his religion,
but that he kept on preaching in the
jail corridor. On Sunday last he took
as his text: Those who claim Him,
yet I will trust"
During the sermon, Mr.. Miles said
that he noticed that Mrs. Mack was
greatly agitated and was crying, and
when he had finished, he says, Mrs.
Mack came to him and told him that
she wanted to confess the murder. Mr..
Miles says he told her that he did not
care to hear the confession, but told her
to pray TO the Lord. She got down on
her knees and prayed and later she told
him that the prayer had greatly re-
lieved her and that a great load had
been lifted from her mind. He then
left her without hearing the confession.
He says that on Tuesday Mrs. Mack sent
for him and that when he arrived at
the Jail she confessed the crime to him
in all it's details.

IN The RAILWAY WORLD.
EASTERN FREIGHT RATE STU
ALTON GROWS WORSE.
Western Lines Overcome the Diff
fculty in the Way of Selling
Mileage Tickets.

CHICAGO. Nov 1.-THE Western
lines have overcome a difficulty in the
way of selling Interchangeable mileage
tickets that at one time threatened to
cause them serious embarrassment. The
matter related to the selling of the
tickets at union offices.
After considerab BILE discussion it was
decided that all of the tickets sold out
of union ticket offices should bear the
name of some one of the road who is a
member of the Western Passenger As
socfation, and this road will account
to the others for the amount of mile
age used over their lines. 1t is the opin-
ion of Chairman Caldwell that this ar
rangement will prevent any confusion
of the matter.
The situation in Eastern freight rates
continues to grow worse instead of
better, and there are no signs of i'm
provement. Nearly all the roads declare
that their competitors are cutting rates
in defiance of all agreements to the con-
trary, and from this situation to open
reductions is only a short distance. 1t
is said that the attention of the Joint
Traffic Association will be called to the
matter, and if it does not bring up the
worst offenders with a round turn II
is likely that an open war in rates will
be the result.
The refusal of the Kansas City. Pitts
burg and Gulf to become a member OF
the Southwestern Passenger Associa-
ton is considered by the majority of
the Chicago lines to practically abandon
hope of forming any association at all
The Pittsburg and Gulf has an
nounced that it had no intention of be-
ing a disturber of rates, and that there
will be nothing in its methods to pre-
vent the other roads from going on with
their association if they desire to do so.
Notwithstanding this declaration. it
is not at all probable that the Chicago
lines. which have strong interests in the
Southwest, will become members of the
Southwestern Association if the Pitts
burg and Gulf remain on the outside,
and this may mean that there will be
no association

STEAD HAS FAITH
In Croker.-.Believes That Tammany
Will Run New York Honestly.

London, November civilian T.
Stead, the editor of the Review of Re-
views, who has been close to Richard
Croker lately and who went to
America on the steamer with him, is
not at all gloomy over Tammany's vic
tory, and is, therefore, unique among
Englishmen just at present. Mr..
Stead quotes Mr.. Croker as saying to
him: IF you intend to write about
me, please say that Tammany must
give to New York the best government
it ever had. New York is the ideal
city of the world, and that is the fu-
ture watchword for Tammany."
Mr. Stead says: 1T is a great vindi-
cation of Tammany and Croker and
gives them a wonderful opportunity,
though it does not wipe out the slate
Of the past. The Chicago platform,
minus the nonsense about free. silver
if that is what Tammany's' victory
means-won't scare the English. To
most of us in the old country your
plutocrats seem much greater men>
ace to the commonwealth than the
Democrats. The Republican campaign
fund staggered us much more than the
victory of Van Wyck."

MAlDENS
Ward Off Trifers---Cape May Girls
Organize for Matrimonial PrOctec-
ton.

Cape May, N. j., November ga
new and altogether unique organiza-
ton has been formed by a number or
attractive and manageable young wo-
men of this city who find time hang
Ing heavy on their hands during the
winter months. The title of the new
organization is the Bachelor Maids
Club, and it's avowed objects are the
cultivation of the social amenities of
The season and mutual protection of
interests along matrimonial lines.
Just how this latter feature is to be
looked after is one of the secrets, but
t is understood that sharp espionage
is to be kept upon the records of the
young men, so that ample warning
may be given the members as to the
movements of young men.
The club has adopted a constitution
and bylaws, with attached penalties
for violations. One of the fundamen-
tai rules, adopted by a majority or
one after long and heated argument,
is that no member may accept an offer
of marriage without the unanimous
consent of the club membership. 1t is
probable that this rule will be broken
before the winter is half over, but the
Young women declare they are very
much in earnest in binding themselves
together.

and the Judge ordered Morgan brought

When pushed forward he acted as
