PRESIDENT ALEXIS OF HAYTi
DEPOSED BY THE PEOPLE E

DEPOSED BY THE PEOPLE.
Port Au Prince, Hayti, Dec. 2.-The
people of Port Au Prince have revolt
are now in possession of the city
There has been no fighting with the
government troops. A provisional gov
ernment mas been established , and
General Legitime accepted as presi-
dent of the new administration.
The events of the morning came
before expected. Uneasiness was no.
ticed throughout the night but it was
not thought the outbreak would oc-
cur so quickly, nor the movement be
so successful without bloodshed. The
deposed president, Alexis, is still at
the palace.
Members of the diplomatic corps
held a conference this morning to
take measures to facilitate the depar-
ture of Alexis from the Republic. All
the ministers of the government, with
Alexis and the military officers have
taken refuge in the various legations.
These are the same men, who, nine
months ago, protested ociferously a
gainst the granting of the right of ref
uge to unsuccessful revolutionists by
foreign representatives Today they
are only too happy to seek such pro-
lection.
The outbreak was remarkably sue
cessful. Final preparations were COM
pleted last evening and in the early
hours bands of citizens took possess
ion of the various points of vantage.
The movement was directed by the
general cabal 1t is remarkable that
not shot was fired. The soldiers of
Alexis saw the rebels had the upper
hand and made no resistance. The
presence of the American and French
cruisers undoubtedly had a restrain
ing influence.
AS soon as the success of the move
ment was established number of
prominent citizens held a meeting and
formed committee of public safety
and for the maintenance of order. The
city of Port Au Prince is now in the
hands of that body.
Mob After President Alexis.
At eleven a. M, the people have
turned against Alexis and the palace
is surrounded by an infuriated mob
calling upon him to leave the country.
Almost everybody in the crowd is arm
ed. Women, beside themselves with
rage, are calling down curses upon
the head of the aged man who was to-
day deposed and are hurting course
epithets at him and his family.
Warships Land Armed Sailors.
Armed Sailors from the two Amer
lean cruisers and from the French
cruiser landed at half past one this
afternoon and are guarding the re-
spective legations. The rage of the
mob against Alexis was appeased af-
ter a short time by the news that the
former president had embarked on a
vessel for distant port.

much time for, despite the ,constitu-
tiona1 provision that tariff legislation
must originate in the House, the Sen
ate committee probably will have a.
greed upon the form of a substitute
bill by the time the House has passed
It's measure. The Senate committees
substitute could be tackled on to the
enacting clause of the House bill as
an amendment and debate begun in
the Senate within a few days.
Z 1t is when the Senate begins to de-
bate the bill that time will be consum-
ed, for the Senate has not yet reached
the pointAof cloture. There is going to
be very radical differences in the
views of Republican senators, to say
nothing of the fact that the Democrats
will have ideas of their own and will
be free to express them. No one be-
lieves that a bill such as Senator Al
drich will report out of the finance
committee can command the support
of senators like LaFollette of Wiscon-
sin, Cummins of Iowa and Bristow of
Kansas, and unless these senators are
allowed to have their way they will
keep Congress in session until the
frost comes again.
In the end, however, the Senate win
pass a bill very nearly conforming to
the ideas of Aldrich and the other Re-
publican senate leaders. But what will
the House do with such a measure
when it gets back to the starting
point? In the passage of such a meas
ure a good many Republican members
of the House will be able to see notn-
ing but their own political death war
rants, and they are not going to be led
tamely to the slaughter. They can't
go back to their constituents and lay
the blame on Uncle Joe" Cannon
and the House machine, for after the
agitation of the campaign just closed
their constituents will demand to
know why the machine was not smash
ed.
Interviews given out by some of the
Senate and House leaders do not in
dicate that they are willing to con-
cede such a readjustment of the
schedules as the country expects. If
these interviews are indicative of the
measure for which members will be
asked to cast their final votes there
will be one of the biggest rows Con-
gress ever knew and it may require
as much time to get the measure read
y for the PRESIDENT signature as it
did to pass it originally through the
House and Senate. The next tariff bill
is much more likely to be known in
history as the act of July 80 than it
is as the act of May 80.

Washington, Dec. "A great deal
of self-pity is manifested this fall
among members of Congress, espe-
cia1ly among those who secured reel
ection last month at the hands of ad-
miring constituencies. They see be-
fore them two years of the hardest
kind of work and the necessity of
spending the greater part of two sum-
mers in Washington. If there is any
thing calculated to make a statesman
unhappy 1t is the prospect of being de-
tanned at the Capital after the first of
June.
There is brave talk that the tariff
bill will be passed and the extra sess-
ion ended by the Both of May, but no
one really believes it. The 4th of July
is much more likely to find the meas
ure far from completion. The extra
the middle of March, and the House
will have to be organized and commit
tees appointed before it can get down
to work. It hardly can be hoped that
the bill will be reported out of the
ways and means committee before the
1st of April. OF course, if the House
organization sees fit it can limit de-
bate to one day or one week or what
ever length of time it agrees upon,
but any such attempt would be ex-
ceedingly dangerous to the measure
The Republican majority in the next
House will not be sufficiently large
to justify high-handed methods, for
there will be a. considerable number
of Republican members who will not
like the bill as it will come out of the
committee and who will want to offer
amendments and make speeches.
Should they be denied they might join
with the Democrats and do things to
the bill that the Republican managers
would not like.
If the House passes the bill and
sends it on to the Senate by the list
of May it will be doing exceedingly
WE'LL Then it will be referred to the
Senate finance committee to be re-
made to the liking of Senator Aldrich
and hfs colleagues. This may not take

Five PERISH IN KANSAS FLOOD.

! Houses Are Carried Away.

Wellington, Kan, June 29.-Five are
known to have been drowned and a
number are missing as result of the
overfowing of Hargis creek, east of
this place, which was caused by a
cloudburst north of here. The flood
came without warning and carried
houses and other buildings, before the
people could reach places of safety.
The first warning of the flood was
when water began to seep into the
houses along Harry and Lincoln
streets, east of Main street. Within
an hour it had reached its crest. Num-
bers of people hoated away In their
houses or on the roofs, many Of them
selling the limbs of trees as their
houses floated by, and pulled them
selves to places of safety During the
entire night men and boys worked in.
dustriously in canoes, rescuing people
from tree tops and the tops of houses.
Five inches of rainfall within an hour
and five feet of water flowed through
town, taking houses from their foun.
cations.

the station of Galita 1t was said that a
band of about 100 men had just previ-
eusly passed over burning bridge
about a kiiaweter FROM Galita and had
