PORT AU PRINCE , Haytl , Aug. 2. The
political situation Is causing anxiety.
Numerous arrests have been made. Among
these taken into custody are M. Doublllon ,
a former minister ot the Interior , and M.
Duvlver , a newspaper man. Duvlver made
strong resistance and succeeded in entering
the United States legation , dragging with
him the officers detailed to take him Into
custody. The officers finally dragged M.
M , Duvlver outside tbo legation. The
United States minister , Mr. W11- .
Ham F. Powell , has entered a pro
test against the action of the officers and
demands the release of the prisoner.
Eventually the Haytlen government gave
way to the protest of Mr. Powell. M.
Duvlvler was sot at liberty and re-entersd
the United States legation.
The officers continue to make nrrests. In
addition to the prominent persons reported
to have been taken 'into ' custody is M.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 2. The State de

CLEVELAND , Aug. 2. There was prac

hero today. President Everett of the Bit ;
Consolidated declares that his company has
about all the men required nnd that the
service now maintained on the various lines
ot the system Is equal to that which was
In force prior to the strike. Mr. Everett
states that' he Is receiving applications from
some of the strikers for rolnstatement and
that a number of union men have already
been put to work.
Ha was asked If ho would receive a com
mittee of the strikers should one call upon
him.
him."Tho
"Tho company has always said , " replied
the Dig Consolidated president , "that It Is
willing to receive a committee of Its em
ployes , but the strikers arc no longer In the
employ of the company. "
The strike leaders on the other hand In
sist that not a single desertion has occurred
and that their ranks remain unbroken.
There Is no indication , so far , of any
chock In the boycott movement , although the
officials of the Big Consolidated say there
was a marked increase In the number ot
passengers carried downtown on tholr east
end lines this morning. As a matter of fact ,
however , the cars , asldo from these of the
Euclid and Cedar avenue lines , continue to
run almost empty.
The "spotters" sent out by the strikers
are scattered everywhere along the Big
Consolidated lines. They board tlio cars If
thcro happen to be any passengers and
endeavor to learn their names. Falling In
this , the passengers are followed to tholr
homes or place of business , and as a result
In most cases tholr names go down on the
"list. "
Many merchants who arc taking part In
the boycott have changed their tactics on
account of threats of prosecution , and simply
place a prohibitive price on their goods to
< boycottcd persons.
The militia Is being gradually withdrawn
at the rate of two or three companies each
day.
People Rnnnlnn ; the Boycott.
Major J. R. McQulgg was today appointed
acting judge advocate by Adjutant General
Axllnc , commanding the Ohio National
Guard troops on strike 'here. ' It Is under
stood that the acting Judge advocate -will
at once take up the legal phase of the boy
cott GO far as It relates to the soldiers.
General Axllno said today that proprietors
of stores who refused to sell goods to either
Eoldlem or civilians could undoubtedly be
punished under the law. He added that re
ports were constantly being received at
his headquarters In the city hall showing
that many storekeepers throughout the city
are refusing to sell their goods to the
troops.
To a representative ot the Associated
Prcis Business Agent Pratt of the'striking
street" car 'men's ' union said today that the
boycott had practically passed out of their
hands.
"The people themselves , " he said , "have
taken It up and where the movement -will
end no one can tell. "
Speaking of threatened prosecution , Mr.
Pratt said : "Why dcn't they prosecute
some of the corporations place men on
their blacklists and follow them up all over
the country In order to keep them out ot
employment , sometimes for years ? This
boycott Is undoubtedly a great hardship to
many thousands of people. It Is , how
ever , the only remaining weapon with "which
to fight a powerful corporation like the Big
Consolidated. Should we Jose it would have
a demoralizing effect upon organized labor
everywhere. I have no fear , however , ns
to the flnal result. We shall win out. "
It Is stated that Governor Bushnell will
come to Cleveland In person shortly to In
vestigate the situation and to decide how
long the troops shall be kept here.
Itetrlbntlon for nnycottem.
Good lawyers say the Txjycotters may be
proceeded against under the Ohio anti-trust
law , which covers conspiracies of all kinds
in restraint of trade. One lawyer who has
examined the law says that merchants -who
refuse to sell goods to boycotted persons , as
well as these who assist In placing the
boycott upon them , aiding or abetting It
In any way , can be convicted of conspiracy
without proof of the existence of a conspir
acy , The penalty provided Is a fine of from
$50 to f5,000 and imprisonment of from six
months to a year and each day that the
conspiracy continues constitutes a separate
offense. This law was passed .at the last
eesilon of the legislature , but the author
of It Intended that It should apply only to
trusts.
At a mass-meeting tonight Thomas Fltz-
Blramons , former populist candidate for
mayor , made a speech In which ho denounced
Mayor Farley , holding him responsible for
the trouble because he permitted the police
to ride on the street cars to protect the non
union motormcn. He accused the mayor of
being In league with the president of the
Big Consolidated company. Ho also dc
nounccd the soldiers as murderers and said
they bad outraged little girls and Invaded
the sanctity of the home.
Other speeches along the same line wcro
delivered. Adjutant General Axllnc tonight
Bald that the threat to arrest merchants
who had boycotted the troops was having a
good effect. The reports today Indicated
that the soldiers had been able to buy any
thing they wanted.
Snpponed nyimmUrr Arre ted.
The police believe they have made an ar
rest that may lead to Important develop
ments In connection -with the several at
tempts to blow up Big Consolidated cars
since the 'beginning ' of the present strike.
This forenoon John Schoenthal , a striking
conductor , was taken into custody on the
charge of being a suspicious person and
has since been detained at the central sta
tion , -where he was subjected to a rigid ex
amination by the detectives. Several days
ago a well digger named Stokes , living at
Nottingham , a suburb , told the pollen that
a street railway man had tried to purchase
dynamite from him. The report was In-
\vstlgatcd and the arrest of Scboentbal fol
lowed.
The prisoner admits that bo Is the man
who approached Stokes , but he says he made
the Inquiry at the Instigation of another man
whoso name he does not know. He says
ho was approached by the stranger , who
asked him 1f he knew where ten pounds
of dynamite could bo purchased. The pris
oner told the stranger that he knew a man
at Nottingham who used dynamite and he
might have some to sell , Thereupon he went
to Nottingham , saw Stokei , but failed to
get the explosive , He reported his failure
to the stranger , according to his story , -/ad
that was the end of the matter. The police
will not say what they think of the story ,
but they declare they are not yet. through
with the Investigation and they look upon
the arrest as an Important one. Schoenthal
had been employed by the company for
about four years before the strike began.

DENVER. Aug. 2. ( Special Telegram. )
Eastern Colorado , western Nebraska and
Kansas are just now In the throes of a
grasshopper plague , the worst on record tot
fifteen years. Crops arc being devastated
and the farmers arc bclnc driven to dis
traction by the Inroads of the pest , accord
ing to reports received at the State Horti
cultural department this morning.
In fact , the grasshoppers are doing so
much damaso that the entomologists ot the
ithrco states have decided to hold a meet
ing to devise a plan to combat thorn. I'rof.
L. Bruner , state entomologist of Nebraska ,
arrived In Denver at noon from the affected
districts and after a consultation with Mr.
Shute , secretary of the Horticultural board ,
left for Fort Collins , where he will consult
with Prof. C. P. Gillette , the Colorado
entomologist , and S. J. illunter. the Kansas
authority on bugs , on some method of getting -
ting rid of the pest that Is now making Hfo
a burden In the ralnbelt country.
"I have seen the grasshoppers thicker In
that section , but not often , " remarked Prof.
Brunor. "They are as numerous now as tha
farmers can stand nnd unless somcthlnc Is
done at once to check them the loss to
crops will bo tremendous. iAt our meeting
wo shall recommend the General use of
kerosene hopper-dozers by the farmers in
their Holds and will also urge plowing up
the edges of alfalfa patches , so the eggs
of tbo hopper .will . bo destroyed. We have
several other schemes on foot rwhlch may
serve to check the pest to a great extent. "

Count Muravieff , the Russian minister ot

foreign minister may raise the question of
continental action in the event of Great
Britain declaring war against the Transvaal.
There Is no truth In the statement pub

strained relations exist between Russia and
Franco owing to President Loubet having
failed to telegraph to the czar his condol
ences on the death of the czarowlch. The
president did telegraph expressing his sym
pathy to the czar and also sent a wreath to

WASHINGTON , Aug. 2. Advices received
by Surgeon Gcnerar Wyman up to P o'clock
tonight from Hampton show that the only
change In the yellow fever situation is the
addition of four suspected cases to those al
ready In oxlstcncc. These have been sent
from the camp to the hospital. This Information
mation and the additional statement that
thcro has not been a death since 7 o'clock
Inst night and that everything with ref
erence to the disease Is more than favorable
was received from Governor P. T. Woodfin
of the Soldiers' home. Ho nlro declared ho
is quite sure the pestilence will he stamped
out.
From Dr. White , who has general charge
ot affairs nt Hampton , but who remains n\\ny
from the Institution , word came that the
situation Is unchanged. Governor Woodfln
bus prepared a list of nil members of the
homo who have been furloughcd slnco Jury
22 , at the same time giving their dcsllna *
lion. This will bo telegraphed to Surgeon
General Wyman and will bo spread broad-I
cast through the press , thus enabling local
ities where the Inmates may now be to de
tain them for a reasonable length of time ,
Dr. Wyman has sent dispatches to the
Health commission of Baltimore and the
president of the Board of Health ot Richmond
mend , asking them what measures are being
taken regaidlng refugees from the homo at
Hampton , or the neighboring town of Phoe-1
bus. The doctor thinks it Is of the most
Importance that &uch persons should bo
kept under close observation for ten days
following their departure , particularly those
who stopped over one night In either place.
SUI-KOOIIH Uiiunl to KnierKonoy.
Replies have been received from both
places showing the surgeon general the ac
tivity of the officials Interested and their
ability to cope with the situation. Surgeon
Farquhar , at Portsmouth , about twelve miles
from Hampton , reports finding four colored
people who bad been at the latter place.
The authorities sent them back to Hamp
ton. Dr. Wyman does not think such a
course safe , however , and has directed Sur
geon Farquhar hereafter not to send such
persons back to Hampton , but to have them
taken to Craney island , where they may bo
detained under observation. Dr. Wyman
says that although Hampton is not infected

Houne-lo-Honne Inspection.
The Marino Hospital service was up to 1

concerning the yellow fever situation nt the
Hampton , Va. , Soldiers' home. The pres
ence of the disease nt Phoebus , as indicated
In the press dispatches , has not been offi
cially communicated to Dr. Wyman. The
accuracy ot the report , however , Is not
doubted , as such n condition of affairs was
anticipated. A house-to-house Inspection of
the vlllnue has been ordered.
Surgeon Snowden , at 'Alexandria , Va. , was
this morning directed to carefully Inspect
all persons arriving by rail or water nt

< | OIIN of It Cnime ,
WASHINGTON , Aug. 2. The present out
break of yellow fever at the Hampton Sol
diers' home will glvo the army medical corps
an excellent opportunity to extend an In
vestigation It has been prosecuting for two
years past into the nature of yellow fever
and the best modes of combatting It , The
Marine Hospital service , which Is in charge
of the quarantine In the Infected district ,
has been doing similar work and Dr. Wasdln ,
tbo surgeon , placed as an expert in the
Hampton home , la one of the two marine
hospital surgeons who recently returned
from Cuba , where they studied the disease
In its permanent home and made collections
of culture for future observations.
The medical world at present is very gen
erally of the opinion that the specific bacillus
of yellow fever has not yet been identified.
Recently the announcement wan made by
Sanarelll , an Italian scientist , that be had
segregated the germ of yellow fever and
this claim was later affirmed bv a German
bacteriologist , after somewhat less exhaus
tive research ,
Burgeon General Sternberg of the army.
1 ' American bacteriologists made a close s'udy
of the subject and Isolated a bacillus , which
ho did not claim as the specific germ of
yellow fcvor , but one worthy of a cl'rcr
study , calling It for convenience' the "bacil
lus X. " The army medical museum , under
General Stornberg's directions , took up the
subject and Drs. Reed and Carroll recently
Issued a preliminary note on the museum's
Investigations , In which they set forth the
statement that so far as determined the
bacillus of Sanarelll and the bacillus X of
Stcrnberg were Identical In their general
form and their effects on the lower animals ,
nnd that both seemed to be Identical or very
closely allied with the bacillus of hog chol
era. The lesions produced by the three
germs wcro the same nnd samples of the
suspected fever germs submitted to some
of the most expert scientists In the line of
agricultural chemistry and animal Industry
1 were pro'nounced to be the germ ot hog
cholera ,
I This seemed to leave the question open ,
but Drs. Heed and Carroll are continuing
tholr researches with the Intention ot lei -
i eating the active principle In yellow fever ,
|
whatever It Is. Meantime Dr. Doty , the
1 health ofllcer at New York , claims to have
confirmed SannrclH's discovery and Is carryIng -
Ing on a series of curative experiments with
a serum for the destruction of the Sanarelll
germ. The army medical officers say , how-
! I over , that no germ which can stand a torn-
porature of 361 degrees below zero can bo
the germ of yellow fever , which Is known
to cease Us ravages on the appearance of j
frost. The Sanarelll germ was recently
submerged In frozen air and came out ready
for business. The report of Drs. Wasdln
and Gcddlngs of the marine hospital on their
j Cuban researches has not yet been made
| public , but It Is understood that they agree
with Sanarelll.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 2. The War de
partment Is watching with great solicitude
the progress of yellow fever at Santiago.
Reports received yesterday were more en
couraging , but It Is realized that there Is
'
still danger In the situation.
In this connection It Is learned that as
late as the 8th of last month General Miles
formally recommended the removal of the
United States troops now quartered at
Santiago to some port on the northern coast
of America.
It is said that as a matter of fact the
rnto of Infection among the soldiers .at
Santiago' greater .at this , 'time Jn pro-/

last year. " *
General Miles , It Is understood , called at
tention to this fact , In his recommendation
and urged jt ns one reason for the prompt
removal of the men to the north.
Thus far his recommendations have not
been carried cjit.jbut today Secretary Root
and General Miles had a conference on the
subject. 6 / "

received a dispatch from Surgeon Pettus at
Fort Monroe tonight saying there was noth
ing suspicious there. A train left this after
noon for Richmond with about 100 people.
All wore Inspected 'before ' ( hoarding the train
and made to prove they had not been ex
posed to Infection , A steam launch is pa

a hoUse inspection of Phoebus discloses
nothing. The dispatch adds :
"Suspicious case of last night verified. No

The convention met la the now 'Audi '
torium at 11 a. m. and listened to the ad
dress of Charles E. Plckett of Waterloo as
follows :
The history of the republican party stands
for the horolo ago In American politics. Its
character lines are boldly defined. It re
ceived Its first lessons from the supreme
and patriotic statesmanship of Abraham
Lincoln , Born of the poopfo , It has "ever
been proud of its parentage , and courageous
In defending ltn birthright. It lias never
seized with nerveless grasp the Important
problems confronting it. It discerned the
growing needs of the pcopfo , anticipated
further developments , conprehonded the
boundless possibilities of our great republic ;
und with a high resolve , an honest convic
tion and a fearless leadership unfurled the
banner of national progress in Its broadest
and truest sense. It has been true to thn
Instincts of our history. In Its party organ
ism are found those vehement , vlrllo nnd
forceful traits that have made our people-
the greatest character people in civilized
history.
When the false prophets of free silver
were inoculating the public mind with the
dishonest heresy of something for nothing ,
nnd nothing for something ; when pathetic
appeals were being made to the unfortunates
of the country , when grand nnd petit lar-
cenorn were being tempted with the accumu
lated wisdom of centuries of Htatesmanshlp
and economic ncienco wore about to ) ia cast
aside ; when buslnesH panic , repudiation and
discredit were knocking nt the door of
power for admission ; when political Icadunt
are unlllltiR the direction of the popular air ,
the republican party , fearlessly and patri
otically , stepped forth Into the public arena ,
stamped upon the hydra-headed monster of
national dlnhonenty , put to rout the hosts of
repudlators , unlanccd tbo would-be knlght-
errants of finance and declared beforn God
and man that honesty must prevail in the
legislation of our nation.
The alleged evils of our financial system
were Imaginary rather than real. When
given an opportunity to net , us It win lie
given In thn next session of congreHs , the
republican party will enact such legislation
na may be necesbary to conform our present
system to its declared principles , hut Its
legislation will bo remedial , not revolu
tionary , constructive , not destructive , cor
rective , not disturbing.
The fortunes of war abound In surprised.
Cbanco sometimes dictates the course of
progress , This time It has opened to our
country the boundless opportunities of the
Orient , and created an outpoat of civilization
that will In time emancipate the east from
the bondage of barbarism nnd stagnation-
Civilization must triumph In every land and
under every sky. The spirit of expansion ,
the desire for enlarged national growth , the
reaching out for greater opportunities , has
been the great boulevard of progress down
which have passed liberty , Christianity and
all the higher blessings of civilization , But
the opponents of uo-caMed expansion say that
we are departing from the position und
tenet * ) of our forefathers , I answer , no ,
Wo are simply rising to the now condition *
that surround us. The telegraph , the rail-
