Minister Fred Douglass was a prominent ngure at the departments to-day He was at the etate department first, where he received all the money due him from the govern ment, and he then went over to the treasury department, where he was closeted for some time with Mr. Foster. Mr, Douglass was reticent on all points. It can be stated that Mr. Douglass has come home for the purpose of re signing his place. So widespread is thi belief that there are already a number of applicants for the position. The most pJominent can didate is T. Thomas Fortune, a well-known colored journalist now in New York. It is a serious ques tion, however, whether the de partment will care to Bend another colored man to Hayti, for it is known here that the ilaytiaus do not appreciate as a compliment & colored minister at their capitol, and much of Mr. Douglass' failure to secure the mole of St. Nicholas as a coaling station for the United States is ascribed to Mr. Douglass' unpopularity on account of his color. i en years ago ra.n X rancisco w supplying Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Southern Cali fornia, Arizona.

A thrilling experience, although not ending fatally, was had by a railway mail clerk, who acted as a distributor on a local train, says the Washington htar. He had a car to himself, and atone stasi i up in the Allegheny mounts iu had left his car for a minute . i two to run forward to thecng'ii- . as it was taking water. The war t tank was directly west of the gr m. tunnel, and when the tender was tilled and the train started tbe clerk sprang for his car. The en trance to the car was on the stde and a solitary handle was grasped whereby the clerk pulled himself up to the do jr. To his horror he found the door bad been jarred shut and could not be opened from tlie outside, and the second he dis covered this fact the train shot in to the tunnel. With a desnera tion born of a terrible death staring him in the face the clerk hammered and kicked on the door and shrieked aloud for help, hut the loise of the train drowned bis cries, and with both hands grasp trig the handle, his feet on the iron steps and his body glued to the side of the car, lor tear of being dashed oil by the iagged sides, he was carried through the tunnel.

Quickly stopping the engirethe engineer ran back. and. with the assistance of the conductor, helped the al most demented man to the ground where he utterly collapsed, the strain upon his nerves being too great. For six months he was under a physician s care, and after he had become a well man again. said : "I thought that tunnel was ten miles long, and my head, l once. m?gined, was bellow, with tbe dense smoke rushing in my mouth and nostrils and coming out of my ears like steam pipes.
