The national palace at Port Au
Prince, Hayti, was blown up by a
powder explosion and burned to the
ground August Sth, and the president
of the republic, Gen. Cincinnatius
Leconte, persisted. Members of his
family, who were awakened by the
terrific shock, found themselves al
most surrounded by flames. but es-
caped. SO great was the force of the
explosion that a number of small can
non, fragments of iron and shells
were thrown in all directions. Many
palace attendants were killed, and it
is estimated the casualty list will
reach 400 persons killed or injured.
For a time panic prevailed, and the
military authorities Immediately took
charge. The explosions occurred
shortly after three o'clock in the
morning, and within an hour when
the fire which was confined to the
palace was eXtinguished, the struc-
ture was mass of ruins from which
it will be impossible to recover the
body of the president.
At joint meeting of the chamber
and senate Thursday afternoon, Gen.
Tancrede Auguste, senator and eX-
minister Of nuh1ic works was named

McHugh has decided to have his nan,a
remain on the general election ballot

Mr.. McHugh favored such regulation

exceptionally large vote, as was also
mis- running mate, Hon. H c. Clopton.
VINO likewise favored the regulation
or public utilities by the people who
pay tribute to them.
Several days ago, feeling that the
condition of his health might inter

could be called for the election of his
successor, Mr.. McHugh wrote Chair

drawn from the ticket.
Since that time he has learned that
there is not sufficient time to hold a

the calling Of a primary election for
