CLAIMS AGAINST HAITI.
A Protocol Covering Points of Arbi-
tration Being Drawn Up.

The governments of the United States and
Haiti have about agreed to submit to arbi-
tration three claims of an American citizen
for alleged indignities and losses suffered
by him in Haiti, and a protocol covering
the points of arbitration is now being
drawn at the State Department. The arbi-
tration will be novel in one respect, as
Haiti intrusts all her interests to an arbi-
traitor chosen from the United States, who
in this case is to be Judge Day, late Sec
rotary of State. AS a rule, each govern
ment has an arbitrator, and a dsinterested
party is named umpire, but in this in
stance Judge Day will be the sole arbitra-
tor.
The State Department fully approves of
the action taken by United States Minister
Powell at Port au Prince in enforcing re-
spect for the sanctity of the United States
legation What disposition will be made of
The refugee when he is returned to the le-
CATION is now a matter of interest and the
from the minister as to the details of the
affair. The general practice has been TO
discourage officials in granting asylum to
fugitives from justice. What principally
concerned the department in this instance,
however. was the breach of propriety
shown in making the arrest within the
legation premises: not the propriety of
granting asylum. 1t is not doubted how
ever, that Du Viver will be returned to the
legation at once.

The Desire to jump.
From the Philadell,his Record.

Many persons who visit Niagara Falls

Later he told the professor of the tempta-

that ne reared making an ascent. For this

COTTON RATES AND REGULATIONS.
Basis for the Season of 1S80-10OO
from All Texas Points,

Basis for the Season of 1S90-10OO
from All Texas Points.
st. Louis, August 9.-In accordance with
notice received by interested lines. the
Southwestern freight committee has pro-
mulgated, effective August 20, the basis Of
rates governing the movement of domestic
and export cotton during the season OF
1S99-190O from Texas points.
This basis is practically that in effect
during last year, rates via gulf routes be-
ing made on lowest combination of locals
through gulf ports or through Beaumont
Texas, locals from Galveston being to
New York and points taking same rates,
via all rail routes, 33 cents per 100 pounds;
to Boston and points taking same rate,
via all rail routes, IS cents per 100 pounds;
subject to the usual absorption limits,
and via all rail routes rates will be cents
per 100 pounds higher than rates thus es-
tablished via gulf routes or the lowest
combinations of locals through Mississippi
river crossings.
Established references will apply IN
making rates from points in Texas, taking
higher or lower than Texas common point
rates to Galveston. The rate from Texas
common points to Missouri river cross
ings and to Denver will be 20 cents per
100 pounds, with certain exceptions.
To Rockford and Aurora, Ill, the rate
will be rs cents per 100 pounds from
Texas points.
The adjustment effective during the sea-
son of 1883 on shipment Of export cot
ton and also on shipments of cotton lin
tiers for domestic and foreign points will
govern during the approaching season. The
rules and regulations governing the move
ment of cotton from Texas points effective
during the season of 1S9S99 have likewise
been promulgated to apply during the sea-
son of 1892 1900 the onl. notable changes
being in the allowance of time of fifteen
days for shippers to deliver cotton under
through bills of lading to the railroads
accepting the engagements, the previous
owner having been ten days; and the pro-
visions that the export cotton rates fur
nished by steamship representatives shall
be good until midnight on the day previous

Austin. Texas. August g. - Secretary
Crenshaw and Traffic Manager Gibbons, OF
the Texas Grain Dealers association, APP
peared before the railroad commission
this morning and stated that the railroad
lines were willing to give them n 15 cent
rate on oats to Mississippi river points to
enable them to distribute Texas oats east
of the Mississippi, provided said rate was
not used as basis for an application for
a reduction of the rate in Texas The OBJ
ject Of Messrs. Crenshaw and Gibbons
visit was to obtain an expression from the
commission to the effect that 1t would not
use the Is cent rate as an excuse for re-
ducing the Texas rate.
Commissioner Storey stated to them that
the commission would not interfere with
the State rate except upon good grounds
for doing SO. Irrespective of what the rate
to Mississippi river points might be.

DEwEY,s RECEPTION.
Question of Excursion Rates Rests
with Eastern Lines,

Question OF Excursion Rates Rests
with Eastern Lines.
1t has not yet been settled whether or
not the Western and Southern lines will
pu. on excursion rates to New York on the
occasion of the grand reception to Admiral
Dewey. The great trunk lines reaching
New York are always averse to putting on
excursion rates at reduced prices. The
Western and Southern lines are willing to
Join, but unless the Eastern lines are will
ing to prorate on an equitable basis 1t is
probable that there will be no excursion
tickets sold. Undoubtedly, II cheap rates
are put on, enormous crowds would be
drawn from the West and South, as the
reception to Dewey on his return promises
to eclipse any event of the century in its
line. The whole matter now rests with
the Eastern lines
