PORT AU PRINCE, Haytis Nov. H.
While the situation here today Is calm, Sc
rious disturbances were apprehended yes

quest of the president was suppressed by
government troops.
On the demand Of the provisional gov
eminent, General Alexis Nord, war min-
lister, consequently left Gnaives at the

ing himself the president. But the rumor
is much discussed and the people here are
awaiting his arrival with interest II order

1T DOES NOT BOTHER US.

The latest annual report of the COM
merce passing through the $500" canal
is, like all that have preceded it, reve-
lation. The shipping is in the nature
of a barometer of the development in
progress in this Northwestern country.
in recent years in the size of the vessels
engaged in the Lake Superior shipping.
it appears that the number of vessels
passing through the canal during 1901
exceeded that of 1900 by something less
than thousand. The volume of ton
mage for the year is greater than the
canal twenty years ago.
The river and harbor bill each sue
ceeding year reveals the folly of our sys-
TEN of internal improvement. On the
Upper Mississippi for the proposed pro-
motion of shipping which exists mostly
in the imagination there has been ex-
pended in the past ten years sufficient
money to build canal around Niagara
Falls. With a doubling of the amount
of money which the state Of New York
is about to expend in her barge system
nearly possible to widen and deepen those
canals to the Hudson river, so as to en-
able ocean going steamers to load at
Duluth and West Superior for European
ports without breaking bulk.
But we go on in our haphazard way
disregarding the tremendous significance
of the lesson which is taught to US each
succeeding year by the growing volume
of this marine traffic. We hear that
grain and other produce, which before
sought carriage overland to the big At
lantic ports is now being brought to mar
ket through the gulf ports. We read
with complacence the reports of the in
tended construction of waterway by
the Canadian government which will cut
the jutting point of land separating
Georgian bay from the St. Lawrence and
Lake Ontario; but we still go on disre-
garding the prime duty which we owe
the internal and foreign commerce of the
country alike In connection with this
wonderful tonnage.
The day will come, however, when we
will be forced, whether we will or 10,
to put an end to our indifference toward
one Of the grandest of the facilities
which nature has bestowed on US Cor
the promotion of the blessing of cheap
and easy distribution of the peoples
food supply.

a BRITISH WoRKER,s VIEW.

A few weeks ago at the meeting of
the American Federation Of Labor there
were in attendance a number of dele
gates, or, more properly, representatives
of trades unionism in England. These
gentlemen had more or less to say be-
fore the body whose proceedings they
were in attendance on; but none of
them appeared in the convention to go
beyond the consideration Of the matter
Of organization details which possess
little or no public value.
One of them, however, before his re-
turn home, found time to give expression
generally to his views of the relative
conditions, social and otherwise, at
tending the lives Of British and Ameri-
can wor1ngmen. He seems to be an
observer of more than ordinary shrewd-
ness. and readily pointed out MANY OF
the prevailing conditions and circum-
stances on this side Of the ocean which
might impress any stranger of good
Judgment as likely to operate Injurious
ly to the country and to the mass Of its
productive population.
However American workmen may be
disposed in individual cases to delude
themselves with the thought that their
lot is not ordinarily preferable to that
of their brother workingmen abroad.
this British worker left little doubt Of
what his views were on this subject. In
one OF his newspaper interviews he re-
viewed very fully the impressions which
he derived concerning the condition of
American workmen. In their workshops.
and in their homes.
Referring to his observation OF the
American workingman at cloae range,
this British trades union leader used the
following languagei
The abundance and variety of worl,
freedom from feudal traditions. eassv and
cheap transfer of land, the ease witt

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-American
ideas and institutions pervade Mexico
to a. greater extent each year, according
to an extract from the annual report Of
Consul General Barlow, at Mexico City,
which was made public by the state
department today.
Americans are going into Mexico in
increasing numbers every year, and the
total number now in the republic Is
about 10000. They are universally treat
ed with the greatest courtesy and con-
sideration, officially and personally.
Mr.. Barlow transmits statistics of the
trade Of Mexico for the fiscal year, end
ed June 80 last, and they show a very
unsatisfactory years business for Mexi-
co. The imports Increased nearly 6 per
cent and there was an actual decrease
in exports amounting to nearly S14,000,000
But from the standpoint Of the AmeTi-
can, the figures are most satisfactory.
While the imports from the United
States showed a large increase-over 81
1875, 0O0-those from almost every other
country exporting to Mexico, excepting
Germany, showed a large decline.'
Mr.. Barlow says that United States
firms will find it useless to try to trans
act business in Mexico as rapidly as in
the United States. American commercial
houses desiring to built up a trade in
Mexico, he says, should make haste

it. After it had reported, the secretary
of the navy recommended Commodore
Schley to the president for promotion.
President Mckinley accepted Secretary
Longs recommendation and sent Com
modore Schley's name for confirmation as
rear admiral to the senate. He was con-
firmed by the senate to the rank which
he now holds.
Was it legally in the power of the sec
rotary of the navy to reverse his own ruiz
ing thus given when he afterwards con-
firmed the adverse decision of the major
ity Of the court of inquiry?
Had the examining board which con-
vened in April, 1899, found as did the ma
jority of the court of inquiry on any one
of the so-ealled established matters, y
Commodore Schley must necessarily have
been subjected to a court-martia1. Had
this court-martial substantiated any of
the findings Of the later court of inquiry
Schley must have been at once d-shonora-
bly, dismissed from the naval service of the
country. Had he been found as charged
in the precept, to have been guilty of
cowardice, the penalty would have been
death.
Since the secretary of the navy has Of
ficially caused public attention to be di-
rected to President McKinley's letter to
Admiral Sampson it seems eminently
proper that the prejudice and seIf-stulti-
fication represented by the attitude of
the navy department in the two inquiries
mentioned ought at least to be taken
under consideration by the executive in
disposing Of the present application.

their employers to change from one
branch of industry to another, and
classes of labor, was perfectly astonish-
ing to a visitor from Great Britain. is 1t
at all surprising that when trade depres-.
sions arise in Europe and starvation
stares tens of thousands in the face the
cleverest, the most intelligent and the
most enterprising workmen should betake
themselves to the new world, there to
begin life afreSh, with no shadow of con-
scription or class domination hanging
over themY
This is a clear statement Of the secret
of American ascendency in the world of
material production. 1t is adequate, in
deed, to explain the wonderful phe-
nomenon Of the inflow of foreign popula-
ton into the United States during the
past fifty years. There is freedom,
politically, socially and industrially here
which can be found nowhere else; and
there is not to be found her, as yet,
more than a trade of the social distinc-
lions and disadvantages which eat the
in European country.
No wonder that this Englishman
should dilate on the pleasure with which
ne saw his former friends who had immi-
grated to the United States in so many
| instances comfortably located in their
own freehold homes and in a position
with care and economy to protect them
selves against the consequences which.
come with increasing age to all men who
work with their hands.
These are conditions of which all
Americans can be proud. Whether the
day will ever come-and many are now
heard predicting it's approach-when the
American workingman will be reduced
to the same social and economic serfdom
which binds the energies of his Euro
pean brother is a question the answer to
which is with American laborers them

SECRET4RY LONG REVRRSES HIM
SEIZE,

The application made on behalf of Rear
Admiral Sampson to have his views and
interests regarded by the president in
deciding the application made by Rear
Admiral Schley must result in further
prolonging a controversy of which the
American public has shown itself
to be thoroughly tired TIL Globe be-
lieves, and has declared it's belief, that
the action Of Schley's counsel in appeal
ing to the president was iu-advised. No
matter what decision the president may
render Schley can be but little better off.
and may be much worse off, All the
probabilities are against the national ex-
ecutive overturning the decree of the ma
jority of the court of inquiry. Should he
overturn it it is not quite pain in what
respect Schley's position would be made
better morally. On general principles the
executive viii naturally hesitate in re-
yersing the decision of the court, the
only course which he could take without
inlicting further wrong on schley.
Whichever Of the two contending officers
was technically in command at Santiago.
history viii probably accord all the credit
Of the victory to Schley.
E Since Secretary Long has been at pains
to secure publication, since the fling of
schley's application to the president. of
President McKinley's letter fully recog-
nizing sampson as the commander in
chief at the battle of Santiago the
friends of schIey may well respond by
declaring that the navy department had.
even before the court of inquiry was ask
ed for, placed it out of its own power to
lawfully take any position towards Schlev
such as that with which it is now identi-
fed in the public mind.
When Schley's name, in April. 1889. was
proposed for promotion to the grade Of
rear admiral he was obliged to undergo
an examination on his moral. mental
and professional fitness" for the higher
rank to which he might be raised. A
board was appointed to examine Comp,o-
dore Schley, and the navy department
submitted to that board then all the in
formation it possessed affecting schley,s
fitness for promotion. All the matters
which the court of inquiry afterwards
treated as established were of official
record in the navy department. at that
time with the single exception of the
Hodgson controversy.
Now, this examining board passed fully
ana finally upon Admiral schley's fitness
for promotion and passed aflrmatively on
