HAYTIAN
TROUBLES
Still in a State of Uncertainty
and Unrest
FRENCH MINISTER ALARMED
Reports Are In Circulation That
American Intervention Will Prob
ably Result From the Present Com
plicated Condition of Affairs.
PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti, April
1A spirit of uncertainty and un
rest still prevails in Port au Prince.
The recent abortive attempt at a
second uprising has given the gov
ernment an excuse for searching all
quarters of the city in hopes of find
in gsuspects involved. The French
minister to Hayti, M. Carteron, has
recently shown considerable concern
about what action the Haytian gov
ernment may take against refugees
now in the French legation. Some of
these refugees themselves say the
minister has advised them to procure
pistols and ammuniton and that he
said he was unable to guarantee pro
tection. The French mnister, when
asked today with regard to this state
ment, declined to deny or affirm it
It is generally believed that the alarm
of the Fench minister is unfounded.
port circulated to the effect that the
arrival of the German cruiser Bre
men would bring about another cri
sis in which Germany would insist
upon immediate payment of a claim
made by a German resident of Hayti,
Herr Reinbold, is not confirmed. The
German attitude on this subject is
the same now as it was two months
ago when President Alexis was no
tified that Germany would not per
mit the deportation of Reinbold and
would continue to press his claim
for adequate compensation. Be
yond this there is nothing to indic
ate that the arrival of the crusicr
Bremen has brought the Reinbold
question to a more critical issue.
Reports are in circulation that
American intervention will probably
result from the present complicated
condition of affairs.
Three more officers suspected of
complicity in the recent conspiracy
took refuge yesterday in the French
agation. Squads of soldiers are con
tinuing their search for other suspects.

THE FOURTH SUIT.
Bad Mix up in Chicago Banking
Affairs.
CHICAGO, April 1. A despatch
to the Tribune from Clinton 111. says:
The fourth suit against Vespasian
Warner, commissioner of pensions,
was filed by his half sisters, Mrs.
Minnie W. Mettler and Arabella
Bell in the circuit court yesterday.
The bill charges juggling bank stock
of John Warner and Co., by which
Vespasian Warner secured full con
trol.
Many charges are made against the
excommissioner as to the means
used by him to get control of the
estate of his father.
Warner's allegation at a former
trial that his stepmother was a neg-
ress is given as the cause for the in
stitution of the suit.

June 30 1907. This statement Is bas
ed on authoritative figures Just ob
tained by the Chicago General Man
agers association for the information
of its members. The railroads from
which reports were received, traverse
practically all sections of the country
and the figures are said by railroad
managers arc to be fair railroad matters.
The total mileage of the 17 rajl-
roads amounts to 71,872 miles. On
une 30, 1907 the number of men em
ployed on these roads aggregated
581,713, At present the number is
476,947 a decrease of 104,766 or 18
per cent.
A considerably greater number
than this have actually been laid off
because the number of employes in
last October was greater than In
June the time with which present
conditions are compared. Eighteen
per cent of all the railroad employes
in the U. S. last June 30. is 305,000.
There were approximately 4,0000 men
employed on all roads in October
June, making allowances for this fact
the number of idle employes at pre
sent is possibly in the neighborhood
of 348, 000.

Wiped Out For All Time.
NEW YORK, April 1. Four plush
settees which have been in the 'Amen
Comer of the Fifth Avenue Hotel
for the last 25 years have been turned
over by the Hotel Proprietors to the
members of what is popularly known
as the "Amen Corner Corporation".
At a meeting of the members Mon
day, it is said, the question of re
locating the famous seat will be con
sidered, the removal from the Fifth
Avenue hotel having been necessit
ated by the demolition of that struct
ure. The statement is made that
there is not a president for forty
years, a governor of any great state,
a notable U. S. senator, a distinguish

SUSPENDS NINETY-ONE MEN-
This Time Refusing to Be Vaccinated
Cause Trouble at Stanford.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal.,
April 1. -Ninety-one men were today
declared suspended for ten days from
Anril 6 for their failure to comply
with the recent order making vaccin
ation compulsory. If this regulation
is enforced it will probably seriously
interfere with baseball, none of whom
have yet been vaccinated. Three of
the crew have been vaccinated, but
the others have not yet done so. A
suspension for ten days at this time
of the year would almost mean
"flunk" at the end of the semester,
s there will not be time enough to
make up the lost work.
