TROUBLE IN HAITI.
Political Situation Causing Anxiety
A Newspaper Man Resists Arrest.


A Newspaper Man Resists Arrest.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti. Aug. 2-The
political situation is causing anxiety. Nu-'
merous arrests have been made. Among
those taken into custody are NJ. Doubillon.
a former minister Of the interior. and M.
Duvver. a newspaper man. Duviver made
strong resistance and succeeded in entering
the United States legation. dragging with
him the officers detailed to take him into
custody. The officers, however, were able
to take their prisoner outside the legation
doors. The United States minister, Mr.. Will
liam F. Powell, entered protest against
the action of the officers and demanded the
release Of the prisoner. Eventually the
test of Mr.. Powell NJ. Duviver was set at
liberty and re-entered the United States le
cation.
The authorities continue to make arrests.
In addition to the prominent persons before
reported as having been taken into custody
is M. Fouchard. formerly minister of
finance. Many refugees have sought pro-
lection at the American legation, among
them NJ. Menos, sometime minister Of for
eign affairs The situation is grave.
WASHINGTON, Aug. a-The State De-
partment fully approves of the action taken
by United States Minister Powell at Port
au-Prince in enforcing respect for the sane
tity of the United States legation. The gen.
eral practice has been to discourage United
States officials in granting asylum to fugi-
tives from justice, but the point now In
volved is a breach of propriety shown in
making the arrest within the legation prem
ises, not the propriety OF granting asylum.

A book such as she could have written would

panionship Of a bright stenographer OF her

The wise provision of Chief Justice Chase
furnished livelihood for his daughter. One
day, while he was still Governor of Ohio.
some one advised him TO buy the property
now known as Edgewood. 1t was then
farm of thirty-five acres, out in the country.
He purchased it and built the residence now
upon the land. and which was at that time
dubbed "Chase'S Folly When land in
creased in value IL was seen that the invest
ment was not so short-sighted as ii had
seemed at first. The time came when Mrs.
Chase offered $1,000 acre for the
ground, but she refused to sell 1t. When the
extension of Fourth street was found TO run
through the ground, the portion west of
that street was sold, but the rest was re-
tained.
After while a mortgage was placed on
the property. and in time it was increased
by subsequent loans and interest. until the
incumbrance on the property amounts at
the present time to $50 1000. Several efforts
had been made TO sell the property to ad-
vantage. but the efforts have so far been
unsuccessful. Friends of Mrs. Chase hold
the major portion of the trust deeds. and
they have been waiting until the property
could be disposed of TO advantage to Mrs.
Chase. During this stringency the friends
OF Mrs. Chase provided means to prevent
the valuable estate from being sacrificed,
and in addition gave her an income amount
ing to about $1,000 annually.

WHAT KATE CHASE KNEW.

Books, but Never Did.
G. Nicholas. in Chicago Post.


No woman in American history ever en-
joyed the personal acquaintance with so
many distinguished men as Kate Chase
Sprague. She "queened it" over society at
the national capital during the civil war
and for years afterward. Her SWAY over

diplomats, statesmen and soldiers of the day
made her their confidante. The home of her
father. Salmon +. Chase, was the court over
which she ruled only a woman of ex-
traordinary physical and intellectual charms
can rule She was the repository of more
secrets OF vast portent than any woman of
the century. Her father reposed the great
est confidence in her discretion and sound
judgment, and in order that he might avail
himself OF her counsel and advice kept her
fully advised of administration policies She
became of invaluable assistance TO the Ma
ton. She had the gift to wonderful de-
gree or drawing out others, of appreciating
important news that came TO her in this way
and OF communicating what she learned TO
her rather. who in turn used much valuable
information obtained in this way for the
Nations good.
President Lincoln and Mr. Chase's Cabinet
associates understood the relations between
father and daughter and were not slow to
give credit where ii belonged. The Chase
mansion was the favcrite meeting place for
president Lincoln and his immediate ad-
visers. and Kate Chase was personally pres
ent and participant at many council
at which plans were discussed and agreed
upon vital to the life of the Republic. Kate
Chase was the one woman In million who
could guard secret, and the confidence
placed in her by the giants of those days
was never betrayed.
She had a splendid memory and in later
years when the necessity for silence was re-
moved she could talk by the hour about her
experiences and OF matters of moment that
came within her range OF observation. She
