ANNEXATION OF HAYTI.
Has Been Discussed by President
With Advisers.

With Advisers.
Washington, Sept. 3.-The Post to-
morrow will say that the President has
tentatively discussed with some of his
close advisers the question of annex
ing the Island of Hayti, with a view to
action in case the Haytians themselves
fail to restore peace and order.
The frequency of the rev.
olutions in Hayti, necessitating
the presence of American men -of- war
to protect American and foreign inter
ests, the general instability of govern
lnent and anarchial conditions and the
desirability of maintaining order in the
West Indies, the Post will say, have
led to informal discussion of the possi-
bic necessity of interference by a
stronger power. 1t is believed that ia
vorable terms can be made with the
republic of Santo Domingo, which
shares the occupation of, the island, so
that the entire country can pass into
American possession.

Maurice Barrymore, actor who Is

who never slept SO long as there were
entertaining companions ready to talk
and listen a man who was never at
a loss for an answer, says the Chica-
go Tribune. If his witticisms were
collected they would fill book and
lose half their charm. Probably he
never uttered many of the clever
things attributed to him, but there
never was an epigram too brilliant for
Barrymore to have made 1t. Some
were bitter as gall and a few had
no more sting in them than a butter-
fly But all of them showed that he
possessed remarkable mind.
He was essentially a combatant and
a chlvalrous man. He loved a fight,
Intellectual or physical, for it's own
sake. Once, when he was livid with
rage over reflection east upon a
woman he knew a friend asked him
why he restrained himself

woman is dent In her reputation"
was Barrymore's reply.
He was once at table with young
woman who wanted to taste absinthe.

1T is like something I had when /
was child. 1 mean it's just like

Barrymore. "Absinthe is the paregoric

Many were the passages he had with
his wife, George Drew Barrymore.

tion of California.

ZION OF CaAl1Orn1a.
Sacramento, Cal, Sept. 3.-The DEM
ocratic Convention to-day nominated
Franklin K. Lane of San Francisco for
