SIMON SAILS
FOR KINGSTON
PRESIDENT OF HAYTI FOLLOWS
IN WAKE OF NoRD ALEXIS,
WHOM HE oVERTHREW IN 1908
TWO AFTER PRESIDENCY.
BY Associated Press.

Port au Prince, Hayti. Aug. Am
tome Simon sailed last night for King
ston. Jamaica. the refugee of Haytis
fallen heroes, as the warship 1T De-
cembre," which took it's name from the
day that he was unanimously elected
president of the black republic, doomed
a dolefuI farewell.
He follows in the wake of Nord
Alexis, whom he overthrow in the last
mnoth Of 1905, and he leaves the capital
in the possession of Cincinnatus LIE
Conte, whom he had driven into exile
with his deposed chief with Antenor
Firman, a rival for the presidency
whom he placated as sending as min
lister to Cuba.
Nord Alexis ruled for six years. On
December 8, 1908, Simon, then at the
height of his popularity, led an over
whelming revolutionary army into Port
au Prince and was everywhere pro-
claimed as a saviour of the country
from tyranny. He appeared to have
the country united behind him. Nord
Alexis. who had found safety on the
French cruiser Duguay Trouin, later
boarded the German steamer Sarnia
and proceeded to Kingston, where, en-
FILTERED against his Countrymen, he
died in the spring of 1910. To the last
he refused to admit that he could I'M
derstand the hostility of the people.
They always cheered me when 1 ap-
peared in the streets" he was wont to
say, mournfully, and l have always
Iabored for their good"
With Simon disposed of, attention
has turned to his successor, and there
is much uneasiness regarding the flu
ture. lie Conte and Ffrnin both are
avowed candidates for the presidency.
They head rival revolutionary armies.
Neither leader has arrived at the cap-
ital. but their followers are in posses
sion of the city and the feeling be-
tween the two parties is far from
friendly.
The danger now is that neither ne
gro will be disposed to retire in favor
of the other and that the issue must
be literally fought out.
The diplomatic corps is doing every
thing possible to avoid a conflict.
Early last evening Simon and a
handful of followers with their bag
gage We're transferred from the Ameri-
can schooner Bradford G. French to
the Dutch steamer Prinz Nederlandem
and an hour later the vessel sailed for
Kingston. AS the vessel passed out OF
the harbor and Simon had what may
prove his last view Of the capital, the
three Haytien war vessel gave him q
parting salute.
The night passed with comparative
quiet Occasiauly the report of a rifle
was heard, but the lawless ones were
held pretty well in check.
The German marines who were
landed from the German cruiser Bre-
men are still on shore.
1t is not unlikely that an attempt to
constitute a provisional government
until lie Conte and Firmin arrive will
be made

Too Harsh With Him.

Along a country road walked a mar
and woman. The latter, q gaunt
stern faced female, was bullying the
meek little fellow who trudged just in
front of her with downcast head.
Suddenly the woman, turning, saw q
bull racing down the road behind them
She quickly took refuge in the hedge
but her companion, unconscious OF
aught but his woes, kept on his way.
The bun caught UP to him and sent
him spinning into the muddy ditch
then continued on it's wild career. As
the wobegone figure crawled out of the
mire he saw his better half coming
toward him. Plucking UP his little
spirit he whimpered:

that a-g-g-gain, you'll get nay temper

DON tNsuRGENT ALLIES.
Democrats, Left in Full Control of the
Senate by Reason of Absence Of
Regular Republicans, Pass Bill to
Revise Cotton Schedules.

Washington.-A shrewd move by
the regular Republicans, as unexpect-
ed as it was effective, on Thursday
suddenly threw the Democrats into
complete control OF the senate in their
own right and forced them absolutely
to abandon their coalition with the
progressive Republicans.
Out of the chaos and uproar came a
bill to revise the cotton schedule OF
the Payne-A ldrich tariff law. 1t was
the bill as passed by the house but
saddled with amendments to revise
the iron and stsel, the cotton machin-
cry and chemical schedules, coupled
with a provision for reciprocal free
trade in bituminous coal across the
Canadian boundary.
The bill as amended will go back
to the house and probably will be sent
to conference. If it energies from this
ordeal it will meet the fate of the
wool revision bill which was vetoed
Thursday by the president.
Democratic votes alone were cast in
favor of the bill. The regular Repub-
licans deliberately absented them
selves from the chamber and thus left
their progressive colleagues in a hope
less situation.
