From Haytl.

Port al Prince, Mar. 26. Though
President NOrd Alexis confssses be eau
not imagine why the United States gun
boats Marietta and Paduch should have
been ordered to join the cruiser Des
Moines and the gunoOst Eagle in Hay
tian waters, he expressed himself as
rather relieved than otherwise at the
siren gtheniug of the American force
| there.
The President has been exceedingly
apprehensive of aggression by one or
more of the European powers, and he
regards the additions to the little Ameri-
can feet as further guarantee of safety
for his government.
The practically completed arrangements
by the diplomatic representatives at
Port su Prince that the powers takes
turns in keeping a wsrship at this port
does not please him 50 well. He looks
on the presence Of EUROPEAN vessels as a
foreign menace.
A decree of Punishment was pro-
claimed today against all refugees still
in the cOnsulates. Those who actually
participated 10 the recent REBELLION have
already lett the country but most Of the
mere suspects are still 10 the country.

Union Pacific Railway.

New York, March 26. PROBABLY the
most important meeting of the directors
of the Union Pacific Railway 10 several
years was held here today. Every mem.
Der of the board. including E. II. Hsr.
riman, Oto Kahn, Messrs. E,rlip,
Hughitt, Frick, Vsnderlip, Peabody and
VIM. Rockefeller, we're present. Much
mystery was thrown about the gathering
and all refused to answer questions, al
though stating that 80 Official statement
would be issued later.
1t was learned from usually trust
worthy source that the directors con-
sidered the creation of mortgage
against which will be issued bonds for
new financing. The exact amount 10
withheld pending the official statement,
but It ia understood TO be between $4O.-
900, 900 and $5O,000,0O0. Nothing
was done by the so-called segfegstiog
plan.

THURSDAY EVENING. MAR. %, 1908.

The revised and condensed edition q
the special message which President
Roosevelt. sent to Congress on January
n was transmitted to that body and
given to the general public yesterday,
after il had been haWked about Wall
street, according to reliable reports
from that thoroughfsre, for the best part
Of week. In the light of the latter
fact, it is entirely plain why Wall street
should have been the scene CT strong
bull movement in stocks the last few
DAYS. The message breaihes the warm
eat solicitude for the welfare OF the
great business interests of the country
now mensced, the Prefideut declares, BY
the harrh provisions of the Sherman
antitrust act, and no less ardent longiDt
TO relieve labor organizations and farm
er,' organizations from the alleged
danger Of being put of business by IN
same fearsome and unwiss measures
The President indorses the bill intro
duced the other day by Mr.. Hepburn Il

II or one of similar import be passed, %
as 10 give the railroads the right uude
certsin limitations to make traffic agree
msuts. The main object Of the messsg
appears to be to secure votes for the ad

Today's Telegraphic News,
The Kaiser and DR.. HlI.

Berliu, Mar. 26.-While the German
foreign Office unquesuonsbly knows
why the Kaiser does not want DR.. David
Jayne Hill as successor to Ambassador
Charlemsgne Tower, not word OF ex-
Planation OF its purpose has been al
lowed to reach the public.
Reports that Germany has declared
the doctors too small man for the Ber-
lin post may be stated on the highest
authority to be untrue. Perhaps the
rumor had its origin in remark tho
Kaiser recently made to American Vice
Consul Caldwell, due to arrive in New
York tomorrow on the steamer Pretoria.
"Iwsnt you to tell President Roosevelt"
his msjesty said, "thst | am angry be-
caused he accepted Ambassador Towers
resignation" The Ksi'er unquestion-
ably spoke iokingly. Neverless, it is
whispele ed in official circles here that
his observation verged on Interference
with a purely American matter. 1t
was certsinly Numerically opposed to
the governments previtus assen. to D..
Hills appointment. II will be said
that Wilhelm spoke privately sud uuofii-
cislly That HE msjesty's over impetu-
ousity had something, at least, 10 do
with creating the present unpleasant in-
cident is generally believed.
If The Kaiser's playful remark was
really interpreted as an objection to
Hills appointment and especially if it
was made the basis OF the representa-.
tiOns TO that effect to Washington, it is
openly asserted here that private con-
versation has been grossly abused, and
that his msjssty, now out of the country
on his vacation trip to Corfu, will not
be slow to say as much when the matter
is brought TO his attention.
The situation is complicated by the
fact that Ambassador Tower is believed
here to desire to remain in Berlin, that
he merely mentioned to the President q
desire to retire but actually took no
steps in that direction aud that official
Germany thinks he is disposed to do
everything in his power to retain his
position.
Ambassador Tower in an interview to.
day said 81 can say nothing relative
to the Hill matter. | refer all iDquir. rs
to the State Department, Washington. a"
That the present difficulty was wholly
unexpected is shown by DR.. Hills recent
visit to Berlin where he rented house,
arranged for hotel quarters until his Of
fetal residence was ready for occupancy
and employed corps of servants.
Az official statement by The German
government says: "When DR.. Hills name
was 6rst suggested the German govern
ment made inquiries concerning him,
received the mos favorable replies and
ats ,nted to his appointment. So far as
the German government is concerned
the situation IS unchanged. Germany
has officially assented ard still assents to
DR.. HIPS appointment"
According to Berlin diplomatic gos-
sip To yer who hiss not resigned but sug-
0ested some time ago wish to retire,
has changed his mind and prefers to re-
tain his present pCs,.

Japan's Financial Condition

Toxic, Mar. 26.-The Jspsnese
government is exertiDg itself to the ut
most TO relieve the cOuntry's fosncisl
situation, which grows weekly more
serious. The markets seem TO have been
literally wruug fusucially dry. Failures,
which were at first confined principally
to the banks and larger commercial
houses and financial companies, are nov
so numerous among the smaller trades
men that it is difficult to keep track Of
them. March has been the worst month
since the stringency began. Ten banks

A DISPATCH from Annapolis says; u.
8. Senator Burrows failed yesterday In
an effort to induce Congressman Mudd
tn secure from the republican members
Of the Maryland general assembly pro-
test against the seating Of Senstor-elect
7. Walter Smith. Mr. Mudd MAS IN
Annapolis when advised by telephone
that if such protest was received the
Senate would give it heed and probably
set accordingly. Mudd replied, and be
il said to his credit, that he had been
ouoosed in the first place to making this
a partisan question. He did not be-
lieye this should be done. He took the
broad ground that the State should not
be deprived of 3 representative on tscn-
nical grounds, and therefore declined to
do as requested. Mr.. Burrows is from
Michigan and is the chairman OF the
Senate committee on elections and his
effort to stir up strife in another State
and to prejudice a case before it comes
to him for his decision is remarkable
step for a United States Senator to take.

the matter of the Southern Railway

question is invalid and res raining the
tax collector from collecting this tax.

missioneIs OF Mecklenburg are also CO.
joined on the same grounds in a similar
suit from collecting ss'milar tax from
the Southern. The amount OF this tax
sgsius. the Southern in the two named
counties is $4,000 Judge Moore's de-
cisioD, however, is Of greater significance
than in its application solely TO the
Southern, as $50, 900 in taxes in Bun
combe aud more than 500, 900 in Meek

taxpayers. The bond acts, which pro.

A DISPATCH from Chicago says; "The
return of prosperity" has been signal
lied by the packers With an advance in
the prices of all kinds of meats. Last
fall, when the financial pinch came,
after the packers had begun to elevate
prices, the prices dropped. Dressed
beef is now up STA hundred, and NUT
ton and lamb are up. to 8 cents a
pound. Pork, which is the cheapest Of
all meats, is up cents pound. Well,
some reason by many people is consider
ed better than no reason at all, but to
advance prices for anything at this time
on the ground of the "return of pros
perity" seems to be the limit. Why,
one cannot look st q newspaper now
without seeing that industries are clos
lug and meu being laid of for the reason
of the stringency of the times. But the
meat and other trusts believe they can
fool the people at all times.
