TO ISSUE An Ill TlMHTUM TO nHYTI COM
MANDING THE RESTORATION OF ORDER.
Ii Peace is Not Restored in a Short Time
Our Government VIII Intervene and PROB
0bIy GObbI6 the Blacks

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 17.-An
ultimatum will be issued to Hayti by
the United tSates in October. This
was the conclusion of the President
after a careful study of the situation
and several conferences with his party
Friends, and he is more than ever con-
WINGED that the disturbances there will
not be settled without the intervention
OF stronger power. Germany's action
in destroying the Crete-a-Pierrot came
dangerously near involving the United
States, and there is a large element in
The island making every effort to bring
such a crisis about.
The President has feared that the
inability of the provisional govern
ment to in the least maintain order
will afford such an oportunity as is
desired by this element, and that the
United States will be forced into a
controversy with some European
power
Three elements in the island are
seeking to bring about such compli-
cation. All the business men, many
of whom are foreigners, who find in
the present chaos complete business
stagnation, with a prospect of a de-
struc&ion of their stocks of goods at
any moment; secondly, foreigners
who for years have labored to get Or
improve valuable concessions or to
build railroad lines, develop timber
forests or fertile plains, who have
been prevented by the unsettled condi-
ton Of the country; and thirdly, all
three parties in the field in the event
that any one may be about to succeed.
The business men have already made
representations to Minister Powell

of Those Long Severed With b
in a Few Days.

| WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-After be
ing separated for 81 years and eaet
believing tie ether dead. mother ant
son have been reunited in this city
The mother, Mrs. Croft, is a resident
Of Cle:eland, O., and the son, Joseph
W. Croft, is an engineer in the employ
of the Civil Service Commission
Croft was a five-months-old babe
when his mother saw him before, and
he is now in his thirty-eighth year
The story of the separation dates
back to the civil war This is the
way Croft told the story:
''My parents lived in Illinois when
the war broke out, and my father
went to the front as an officer in one
of the illinois regiments, leaving my
mother at home with me- My father
was ,aken prisoner and was danger
oUsly wounded while trying to make
his escape and my mother, who was
informed of his condition. left me with
relatives in Illinois and went to the
front to nurse him. Two months lat
err the relatives with whom I had been
sin, taking me with them. They fail
ed to keep up correspondence with my
parents. and when grew UP was in
formed that they had both died. Re
Gently I came into possession Of some
papers that had belonged to the rel
atives and in looking over them
picked out a name, and after looking
Iat Il number of times the thought
struck me that it might be that Of my
mother. I wrote to her and received
a reply. I answered. and on receiv,
ing another letter was overjoyed tC
find that I had at last located my
mother. I sent for her to come to ms
at once Since I have found her
have learned that my father, whom
had Believed to be dead, is alive, ant
engaged in business at Atlanta, Ga.
and will come to Washington dur
ing the comir Grand Army encamp
ment."
Croft aad no idea of the persona
appearance of his mother, and in or
der to avoid any mistake In Ghe matte

alton Of the policeman on duty at tn,
railroad station. He told the office
his story, and the latter readily agreed
to assist. Croft explained to him tha

she should ask the policeman on dut,
at the gate to point him Cher son) ou
to him. The train arrived last even

State Department. There is not much
to be feared from this element. What
ever might be done would be the Sc
cret act of a small but unscrupulous
coterie. More is feared from the other
two elements, and especially the last,
which would implicate the United
States rather than see an opposition
party victorious.
This consideration has not alone in
fluenced the President. He regards
the situation there as disgrace to the
United States, in that the country is
Immediately under American influ-
ences through proximity and the
Monroe doctrine, which prevents any
European power from interfering. 1t
is not the declared intention to make
any attempt to acquire the island, but
the better informed at the State De-
partment are of the opinion that that
will be the result of an attempt at
friendly intervention.
Secretary Moody has been advised to
be in readiness for a call for vessels,
and unless the political atmosphere
there clears within the next few days
the ultimatum will be issued. This
intention has been approved by every
Senator who has been conferred with
on the subject by the President, but
the matter was not finally decided up
on until the conference at Oyster Bay
Tuesday.
The Republic of Hayti is the smaller
of two little countries occupying the
island of Hayti, the largest in the
West Indies except Cuba. Both these
countries, San Domingo and Hayti
are similar in government. Both are
inhabited and ruled by negroes, and
both have a long history of anarchy
and rebellion.

MEETING OF RAILROAD MANAGERS NEXT
WEEK TO DEVISE MEMS TO DIVERT I'M
MIGRRTION TO THIS REGION OF COUNTRY.
I'm Effort on the Part OF Common Carriers
to OttS6tt the Northwestern T6nd6nCU
OF Immigrants.

ST. LOUIS Mo, Sept. 17.-Within a
few weeks a stream of humanity to be
counted by the hundreds of thousands
will begin pouring into the great
Southwest, where the railroads will
divide it under a colonization plan
more comprehensive than anything
ever undertaken by the roads of the
northwest.
THE Frisco, the Missouri Pacific
the Iron Mountain the M. X. & T..
the Cotton Belt, the Rock Island and
the Santa Fe, will have representa-
tives at a meeting to be held next
week in st. LOUIS, when the details OF
Tie plan will be agreed upon.
Concerted action is expected. II
such action is taken, low rates, proba-
bly, one fare for the round trip, or even
! cent mile, with the chance Of even
a less rate, will be put in and dates
set fer homeseekers and colo1lats.
More than three Jears ago BryaY
Snyder, passenger traffic manager d
the Frisco. decided that it was time
for the Southwestern railroads to be-
gin colonization on scale similar to
that already in effect over the rail-
roads to the Northwest But only
within the last few months has the
Frisco risen to that position where
it could force the issue and bring all
railroads entering the Southwest into
an agreement.
1t is said that the Rock Island and
the Santa Fe agreed with Mr.. Snyder
that they had more interest in colo
nizing the Southwest than in making
rates to the Northwest over their
Western lines, and that they have
gladly joined the Frisco in its effort
to colonize THE great States and Ter
ritories of the Southwest.
The Missouri Pacific, the Iron
Mountain, the M. X. & T., the Cotton
Belt, and their allied lines, as we'll as
the Frisco, have long had immigration
agents in all parts of the world, and
in every state of the republic, but it is
now unanimously agreed that only
concerted action will be of any bene-
fit

day from tour of Eastern cities and
from conferences of various railroads

POULTRY POINTERS.

81. { ? ii 81 = Z
A safe rule in feeding is Ito give
enough to satisfy and no more.
Droppings should not be allowed tc
accumulate in the poultry house longer
than a week. s s @
Bone dust supplies an abundance Of
bonemaking material and counteracts
any tendency to diarrhea.
When possible, give the poultry house
southern exposure and furnish that
side with an abundance Of light.
While wheat is one Of the best grains
to feed to fowls, it should not be fed to
excess or it may cause diarrhea. Feed
it with other grains. !
Loss of feathers is generally caused
by want Of green food or want Of a
dust bath. Supply both, and, as a local
application, use mercurial ointment.
Breed the best flesh formers for mar
ket; then feed them up to as great 8
weight as possible. Well fattened, well
dressed poultry bring the best prices. !.
