TIME TO ACT.
Americans at Port au Prince OBLIGED
to Seek Protection.

Fort Au Prince, Hayti. Aug. 4.-This
city is in a state of great disorder
Bands of soldiers throwing stones pre-
vent the SyrianS from reopening their
stores.
American citizens have hoisted the
Stars and Stripes over their residences
and number of them have sought
refuge in the American legation, driv-
ing there in carriages flying the Amer
lean flag and pursued by the populace
throwing stones.
Owing to the energetic remonstrances
of the diplomatic corps, the government
has decided to take measures to protect
the peaceable inhabitants and strong
patrols of peace have been sent to pro-
tect the Syrian stores.
After the disorders of the morning
Mr.. Powell, the American minister
went to the palace and demanded Of
President Nord that the government
should take immediate action to stop
the dsturbcrs and to protect all for
eigners and their property, demanding
especially that American interests be
protected.
The president sent for the minister
of the interior and the military COVER
nCr and ordered them to take immedi-
ate stops to stop the disorders, and for
this purpose to send troops and police
to the disturbed districts.
President Nord assured Mr.. Powell
that the lives and property Of foreign
ers would be protected, and said he
would see that their business did not
suffer damage.
After the interview at the palace,
Minister Powell, Alexander Battiste.
the American deputy consul and Gen.
Carrie. the military governor, visited
the disturbed districts and personally
saw that protection was given to the
houses of foreigners.
The energetic and prompt action of
Minister Powell has no doubt saved
not only the property. but the lives of
foreigners and prevented greater dis
turbances.

MORE PAY,
Rural Free Delivery Carriers Get More
Recompense.

Washington, Aug. 4.-By the Presi-
dents direction the new system of
paying the salaries of rural free mai,
carriers has been abandoned. Com
gress last session appropriated $40 :
10000 for pay of rural carriers, and
provided that after July l letter car
r.crs OF the rural free delivery service
shall receive salary not exceeding
1920 per annum.'' Fourth Assistant
Blistow, who has charge of the rura,
service, asked for the increased nav
for the rural carriers, and it was Oh
his recommendation that Congress
through the post Office committees.
acted.
Mr.. Bristow, while the post office
investigation was in progress last wear
after the removal of A. w. Machen
was ordered to take charge of the ruraI
system, and he began at once to make
a thorough examination of the system
with view to introducing reforms.
He conceived the idea of improving
tie service by paying the carriers bet
ter, and he thought the best way to do
it would be to graduate the amount of
compensation according to the length
OF the route of each carrier, which
would seen: a reasonable way to deter
mine the amount of work DONE The
recommendation was made to Congress
and the maximum Of $72o year sug-
So sted.
In phrasing the law the House COM
mittee did not provide for the scheme
nf II inn, ,,f .al,
tow had in mind. When it came his
business to put the law in force on the
LIST of July, Mr. Bristow decided that
Congress, in all probability, intended
to carry out his plan of graduated
compensation, and he acted accord
ingly. Carriers found that they Were.
not to have the pay which they had
expected after the passage of the law,
but certain computed sum accorlin,,
to the length of route. Immediately
protest came from all parts OF the
country, especially from Pennsylvania,
and New York. The carriers made,
themselves felt. The pressure in
creased from day to day and reached
the President.
Senators and representatives were
kept busy voicing the strenuous objcc-
tions of carrier constituents against
Mr.. Bristow's plan of paying them.
He had in his mind u scheme of equit-
able adjustment of rural carriers pay
by which the department would gain
better service and work out large
amount OF economy. This hope, how
ever, like many good ones heretofore,
has fallen to earth. The decision has
been made that Congress intended To
pay carriers of the rural free delivery
service not exceeding $500 year, and
that is 30 ne the amount.
The carriers have won out in a short
sharp fight with one of the best ofn-
Gals in the postal service, and an in
tended reform has gone wide of the
mark set for it by its author.
