Conspiracy for Revolution Against
President, but Plot FalIs--Authori-
ties Murder Those Suspected of Har-
boring III DesIen-Fly to the Leaa.
ton.

Washington, Feb. 5.--Advices from
thoroughly authentic sources which
reached several persons in Washing
ton today indicate that a terrifying
state of affairs has existed in Hayti.
One letter from Port au Prince gives
the following account of happenings at
that place:
Affairs here are in a state of Wild
and dreadful disorder. While the rresi-
dent, General Nord, was in Gonaives, a
city in the northern part of the re-
public, a conspiracy was discovered to
lnaugurate revolution, not so
much against General Nord himself as
for the purpose of getting control of
this city and forcing the president to
agree to certain measures respecting
the liberation and pardon of a number
of Haytlens implicated in the bank
scandal.
When the time arrived to carry the
plot into execution many withdrew
therefrom. One of the number, Cen
eral Maxine Nomplazer. was, however,
determined to carry it through. Learn
ing of the conspiracy, the military gov
ernor of the city, with a number of
soldiers, broke into the house where
Nomplazer and few of his friends
were gathered.
Orders were given to shoot all
those within on the spot Those who
were killed were Nomplazer, his son,
one or two other persons and a SER
want. The owner of the house escaped
by jumping from second story win
dow, and in so doing broke his leg, but
managed to crawl to the house of a
German, who gave him shelter. Later
the man returned to the house, where
the authorities found him in bed, after
a physician mad set his leg. Without
any ceremony they killed him as he
lay there by firing IL bullets into his
! body.
The foreign residents then became
alarmed and the German admiral in
formed the authorities if their action
did not cease he would land marines
and take possession of the city. This
stopped further proceedings. Cen
eral Nord afterward reached Port au
Prince, and the excitement is some
what allayed Nearly all of the lega-
lions are full of refugees"

Evans Is for the canteen.

Washington.-Rear Admiral r. d.
Evans, commander in chief of the Ash
attic squadron, writes to the navy de-
partment that assertions in his com
mand have been reduced to a mini
mum. He says the worst drawback
to discipline has been the excessive
use of alcoholic drinks. Admiral Ev-
ans recommends the establishment of
canteens in the navy where beer and
light wines may be sold to the men,
to be taken with their meals or when
coaling ship.

FARCE IN MARYLAND SENATE.
Only One Member Present When the
Roll Is Called.

napolis.-Saturday' session Of
the Maryland senate was probably the
most unique in it's history. The body
was called to order in the regular
manner by President Jones when the
hour for meeting arrived, he being the
only senator present. The chaplain
was present and was made secretary.
After the roll had been called and the
announcement of lack of quorum
was made, he was constituted SER
geant at arms and sent for the absent
senators. His report was that none
could be found. No business was
therefore attempted. About noon Del
egates Collins and Williams arrived
and escorted the senate, in the person
of President Jones, to the house OF
delegates chamber, there to ballot as
required by the statutes of the United
States for a United States senator
The roll call thereupon developing the
fact that only six delegates were pres
ent, the speaker announced that, ow-
ing to the lack Of a quorum, there
would be no ballot for the election OF
a senator.

WHEAT MARKET STRONG.
One Dollar Bushe Is the Chicago
Price.

One Dollar BusheI Is the Chicago
Price.
Chicago, Feb. 5.-Cash wheat No.
2 red sold on the stock exchange at
81 per bushel, two carloads changing
hands at that price. The wheat was
bought by millers. Wheat has not sold
so high in this market, either for spot
or future delivery since June, 1898, in
which month the Letter deal culmi-
mated.
The high prices being paid at Chi.
cago are the direct result of the big
deal in May wheat being engineered
by Armour. May wheat sold today
at the top price for the season, at
"a 1-Sc, a gain of 2 1902 1-2c over yes
terday's close. The advance was ac-
companied by active covering of shorts
and much speculative excitement.
Prices for corn, oats and provisions
were also doing some lofty climbing.
May corn was up Csc to 55c; May oats
sold to 46 lac, a gain of l lac to l
3-8c, and May pork to $3.50, a gain
of 25 cents The display of bullish-
ness was said to be largely the result
of buying by spectators who have
made big profits in cotton and have
now transferred their dealings to the
grain and provision markets.

Seattle Woman Is Robbed.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 5.--Mrs. Sarah
Williams of 500 Fourth avenue was
sandbagged and robbed of $3.50 near
the corner of Fourth avenue and Co.
lumbia street at o'clock at night. She
was carrying the money in a pocket
book and was on her way to a lodging
house which she conducts on Column
bia street when she felt blow from
behind. She lay half an hour bereft
of sense until she was picked up by
passerby and taken to her home.

German Missions Beseiged.

Berlin, Feb. IA dispatch received
here from Swakopmund, German
Southwest Africa, says that since Jan
nary 81 three men have been killed in
sorties from Okahandja against the be-
sieging rebel natives. The garrison at
Omarurr reports severe attack on
January 81, and it it is assumed that
Otimbingwe is also besieged. Repairs
to the railroad beyond Karibib have
been commenced.
Okahandja is mission station 80
miles from Walfisch bay. 1t was re-
ported recently that the Kafiffrs had
effected junction with the Hreeros,
who were beiseging that place, which
was being defended by Lieutenant Seu-
low with 200 men.

REYES misunderstood.
Our Mantle Is Thrown over More
Than Canal Strip.

Westinghouse is stated at the
state department that General Reyes
must have misunderstood the position
Of the authorities here, If, as has been
reported from Bogota he informed the
Colombian government that the Unit
ed States limited its objection to the
landing of Colombian troops in Pana-
ma to the canal zone itself. The de-
partment has not in any sense changed
its position since 1t was outlined In
the note Of Secretary Hay on Novem-
Der II, to Minister Bunau-Varilla,
when it was expressly stated that no
troops with hostile intentions could
be landed in Panama. Since that time
a treaty has been negotiated between
the United States and Panama by
which the former guarantees the in
tegrity of the latter and that treaty
is now before the senate. In it's pres
ent state, to use the words of Secre-
tary Hay, Panama has, therefore, &C
quired IAN inchoate right" to the pro
lection Of the United States. Colon
bias attack would be regarded by the
government of the United States as an
unfriendly act.

CALLS 1T A STEAL.
Raid on National Treasury for Fairs
Throughout the Country,


Throughout the Country.
Washington, Feb. 4.--After almost
allowing the amendment to the urgent
deficiency appropriation bill providing
for loan of $4600,000 to the st. Louis
exposition to get through without any
discussion whatever, the senate today
changed its tactics just as the vote
was about to be taken.
The debate which ensued was pre-
cipitated by a point of order made
against the amendment by Senator
Bailey, who maintained that the ma
tlonal government was not much con-
cerned with the success or failure of
any exposition. He was supported by
Senator Tillman and Senator Elkins.
while speeches were made in support
OF the amendment by Senators Hale,
Allison, Cockrell, Spooner, McComas
and others.
The debate took a political turn at
one time. Senator German took adj
vantage of a declaration that the con-
dition of the treasury was such as to
render it unwise to permit this ex-
penditure. Senator Spooner replied
in defense of the administration.

R|Igy|A'S ANSWER DELAYED.
CRISIS BETWEEN JAPAN AND
.,se,A AvERTED FOR A TIME.
~...,on Minister of Russia Trying to
e..,. an Answer So as to Prevent
,..,.,re--ls Taken as Good lndlca-
49,, for Peace-Empress of Russia
Under Surgeons Care.

paris. Feb. Another delay has
occurred in framing and forwarding
mo Russian answer to the latest Jap
note and this will result in fur
,,or ayerting the elimination of the
-,,,s until the middle or latter part
.his week. Count Lamsdorf, the
D,ss;an foreign minister, had expected
not the exchanges going on would
saro heen presented to the car yester-
aov for his approval, but the eXpecta-
ion was not realized, and as mat
~ of fact the answer has not yet
hoan finally drafted. 1t was there
sora determined to defer its submits
zion To the car until Tuesday or We'd
rosdav. Efforts are still being made
90 en- shape this answer as to prevent
rupture.
Russia Wants Peace.
This new delay is interpreted as
,lightly improving the situation, as 1t
indicates that Russia is making ex-
IRENE efforts to bring the answer with
in limits acceptable to Japan.
Owing to the fact that the Russian
answer is not completed, it is pointed
out that it's general terms must be
taken with allowance, as the delay in
dicates that some of the points which
presented the most serious difficulties
may yet be reconciled.
Throughout the past week, the au-
thorities here have been kept fully adj
yised of the general tendencies of Rus
STA, but they have not known whether
or not these tendencies would be in
corporated in The answer by which
Russia would irrevocably abide.
1t is understood the empress Of
Russia has an affection Of the ear
which may necessitate an operation.
This fact is considered as having some
bearing upon the time when the an
swer will be submitted to the car for
approval.
In any event, officials here are con-
fdent that definite results will be
known next Thursday. Owing to the
feeling that a final effort toward re-
Gnciliation was being made, the tone
d official sentiment on the matter is
somewhat improved.

A. B. Baxter G. Co. Suspends.
New Orleans.--Unofficia announce
ment was made on the floor of the cot
ton exchange of the closing of the
house of A. B. Baxter & Co., one of the
largest commission houses here. The
violent fluctuations in the cotton mar
ket are said to be responsible.
1t is not supposed that the firm has
lost much money here, but through
the middle south it is estimated that
they have been losing 100000 day
for some time past against the long
side of the cotton market.
The general offices of the firm are In
New York. and they have branch
houses at every cotton center in the
south.
Baxter & Co. had only recently
bought out G. S. Murray & Co., incor.
porated, one of the largest stock bro
kerage companies in the country, and
had capitalization of 100000.
The notice of the failure created a
sensation. The defunct company con
trolled a chain of 125 offices from
| New York to New Orleans.
Customers Did Not Pay Up.
| New York.-John F. Mcintyre, attor
ney for the assignee of Baxter & Co.
says that the suspension resulted from
the short interest in cotton held by G
number of the firms customers who
failed to respond to calls for extra
margins. The firms embarrassment
Mr.. Mcintyre says, probably will be
only temporary. The firm has numer
GUS branch offices throughout the
south. 1t had an extensive leased
wire system.
Mr.. Mcintyre says that the corpora.
ton was not member of any of the
New York exchanges, but was repre-
sented on a number of out of town
exchanges. It's 100000 capital was
