Port au Prince, H ayti, Nov. 2.— Seri
ous trouble has arisen betw een H ayti
and G erm any. The G erm an m inister
to tiiis republic, C ount Sehw erein, lias
hauled down his flag and, according to
cu rren t report, three G erm an w arships
are expected here to back up the u lti
m atum of the m inister, dem anding an
indem nity for the alleged illegal arrest
and im prisonm ent of a G erm an citizen.
The affair has caused considerable > s-
citem ent among the native population,
and some of th e people have threatened
to kill the G erm an m in ister and all the
G erm ans in th e place and vicinity.
The affair grew out of th e arrest a
few weeks ago of a G erm an named
Linders.
T he G erm ans say th a t a
dozen policemen entered L in d er’s
house and arrested one of his servants.
Mr. L inders w ent to th e cen tral police
headquarters to com plain against th is
action of th e police, b u t was him self
arrested, charged w ith assaulting and
atte m p tin g to m urder police officers in
the execution of th eir duty. Linders
was condemned to pay a fine of $400
and to undergo one m o n th ’s im prison
m ent, and w as taken to jail. C laim
ing he was innocent, L inders demanded
and obtained a second tria l, and was
condemned to pay. a tine of $500, and
was sentenced to one y ear’s im prison
m ent.
The G erm an m in ister tele
graphed to B erlin for instructions and
giving d etails of the case. On October
17, the G erm an m in ister w ent to the
president of H ayti and dem anded, in
the name of the G erm an em peror, th at
L inders be set at liberty, and also de
m anded for every day lie spent in
prison, 23 in all, an indem nity of
$1,000 in gold, adding th a t for every
day L inders was kept a prisoner after
th a t notification lie (th e G erm an m in
ister) would demand an indem nity of
$5,000 in gold.
A t first, th e H ay tian president re
fused to g ran t the G erm an m in iste r’s
dem and, and Mr. Linders rem ained six
days longer in prison. T his caused the
G erm an m inister to notify th e H aytian
governm ent th a t as L inders had not
been freed, lie had hauled down his
flag and had sent th e archives of the
G erm an legation to th e legation of the
U nited States, th u s breaking off all re
lations w ith the H aytian governm ent.
T his caused great excitem ent, and dis
turbances would have occurred had
they not been avoided by sending L in
ders, who was threatened w ith lynch
ing, on board a steam er bound for New
York, from which port he w as to leave
for G erm any. It is said th e German
m inister, on th e arriv al of th e w ar
ships, will insist on th e paym ent of
th e indem nity demanded as a result of
th e im prisonm ent of Mr. Linders.

It. H oughton, a postal clerk running
from Cheyenne to Ogden, on a charge
of stealing a registered package ion
taining $14,000. A telegram received
hero during the afternoon stated th a t
Houghton had confessed the theft.
The package w hich Houghton is a l
leged to have stolen w as mailed by a
Chicago bank to a correspondent in Sac
ram ento, C al., about Septem ber 26. It
disappeared somewhere en route, and
an investigation by the postal au th o r

pearance occurred som ewhere between
Omaha and Ogden. The secret service
officers learned th a t H oughton's m is
tress, who had been staying in Denver
for three weeks, had change I three
$100 bills, and, as the $14,000 stolen
was all in $100 bills,they at once made
arrangem ents for H oughton’s arrest.
Tlie woman was at first taken into cus
tody, and her statem ents went to veri y
the opinion of tlie officers.

TO SESPEND SEALING

W ashington, Nov. 1.— In reliable
quarters it is stated th a t the conference
between Russia, Japan and the U nited
States, now proceeding here in refer
ence to settling in tlie B ehring sea and
the N orth Pacific, lias advanced to an
im portant stage, and th a t a proposition
has been reduced to w riting, w hich, if
accepted, w ill bring about a complete
change iu tlie sealing question. The
proposition is said to be aoceptable to
the U nited States. It is understood to
be aoceptable sim ilarly to the Russian
delegates now here, but, in view of tlie
restrictions placed upon them by th eir
credentials, it lias been thought desir
able to cable St. Petersburg for final in
structions.
Tlie greatest secrecy is preserved in
all official quarters as to tlie nature of
th e proposition, and it is not officially
adm itted th a t any proposition has been
made. From equally reliable sources,
it is understood th a t tlie proposition
has a far reaching scope, and provides
for th e m aterial lim itation or entire
suspension of pelagic sealing on tlie
high seas. Suoli a decisive step, if
agreed to by Russia, Ja p in and tlie
U nited States, would not, it is under
stood, involve a concerted move to
menace tlie claim s of G reat B ritain and
Canada to tlie right to pelagic sealing
on the high srns, but would rattier lie
a proposition expressive of the conclu
sions oi the three most interested pow
ers that, in tiio interests of hum anity
and the preservation of the seal herds
of their respective governm ents, all na
tions, including G reat B ritain and tier
colony, Canada, shonld u n ite w ith
Russia, tlie United States and Japan
in such effective prevention of pelagic
sealing on tlie higli seas as will put an
end to it, and thereby secure tlie pre
servation of the seals.
The deliberations of tho conference
lending up to tho proposition were
productive of numerous interesting and
im portant features.
B ut little had been known of tho
Russian regulations u n til the confer
ence m et. U nder them a neutral zone
of 35 miles wus established surrounding
tlie Russian islands, w ithin whioh
G reat B ritain agreed to suspend pelagic
sealing. W hile tiiis was of m aterial
advantage to Russia, yet it was felt
th a t any proposition for the entire sus
pension of pelagic sealing, even, be
yond 35 miles, would have to be recon
ciled witli the modus v iv e n ii. I* was
felt th a t th is could lie done, as tho
modus was not a continuing agreem ent,
bnt was from year to year depending
for its existence on tlie annual readop
tion by tlie B ritish parliam ent.
Owing to Ja p a n 's view of the sub
ject tlie opinion of the seal experts was
laid before tiio Japanese delegates.
Tiiis opinion was ui the effect th at,
while tlie Japanese seal possessions
were little or notiiing a t the present
tim e, yet that by adequate protection
of tlie seals, her decim ated rookeries
would tie restored and a large seal prop
erty b u ilt up. Tiiis e l|ie rt view ftp-
pears to have been convincing to the
Japanese delegates, for Mr. F u jita not
only c a ll d tlie final proposition to J a
pan, but accompanied it w ith hia favor
able recom m endation. The conferees
being thus agreed, it only remained to
hear from tlie respective governments
th n t they represented.
An adjournm ent was accordingly
taken u n til W ednesday, by w hich it is
not doubted the government at 8L
Petersburg and Tokio w ill have taken
final action on tlie projiosition.

New York, Nov. 1.—H enry George,
author of “ Progress and P overty,”
and candidate of the Thomas Jefferson
Democracy for mayor of New York,
died at 5:10 o’clock th is m orning in
the Union Square hotel, of cerebral
apoplexy. In his great Cooper U nion
speech, accepting th e nom ination for
mayor, less than a m onth ago, he said:
“ I ’ll make th is race if it costs me
my life. T his is a call of duty, and
as a good citizen I have no rig h t to dis
regard it on account of mere personal
consideration.”
Today tlie cheers of the w orkers have
suddenly been changed to sighs, for,
true to hia words, H enry George, the
apostle of the rights of m an, died aa he
wished to die— in harness, fighting for
the cause— toward the oloae of the
greatest m unicipal political oontest the
world has ever seen.
L ast night noisy, shouting throngs
rushed into halls and streets to hear
the speeches th a t in a great p art were
filled w ith personality and bitterness,
rockets flared and fires burned, men
argued and urged, and all signs bore
witness th a t th e oam paign was a t its
heigtit. B ut w hen today dawned all
was changed. Men were loth to be
lieve th a t ons who had been so much
in the public eye in the last few' weeks
was no more, and for the tim e being
tlie complexion of the political situ a
tion was forgotten in genm ne grief.
Those who last n ig h t b itterly de
nounced the man who said “ I stand for
the real democracy, the democracy of
Thomas Jefferson,” today recalled
many touohing kindly acts in the life
of the dead man, w hich showed his na
ture and joined in the words w hioh
came as a reply to the lips of all:
“ An honest man is d ead ."
Til is man of m ighty brain and un-
Jaunted oourage was physically frail,
and the strain of an exciting oampaign,
requiring speechm aking at points m any
miles apart night after n ig h t, was more
than nature could stand. He kept it up
to the end, and only a few hours be-
foro the dread messenger cried " H a l t ”
Henry George had addressed enthusias
tic audiences in three of the towns of
tlie boroughs of Queens and a still
larger assemblage in an uptown h all
iiere. He spoke a t W hitestone a t 8
o’clock, and made a speech a t College
Point and F lushing before re tu rn in g to
New York to speak a t the C entral
opera-house. A t W hitestone he drove
from tlie railw ay station to the m eet
ing hall at a gallop. To th a cheering
crowds he said:
“ I believe th a t all th e needed re
forms are summed np in th a t p h il
osophy— the right of every man to eat,
to d rin k , to speak, as lie Bees fit, so
long us he does not trench on the rights
of any other man.
I believe th a t
1 11« 1, the father, can take care of its
laws—there is no need for us to get into
trouble trying to meddle w ith G od’s
laws, to enforco them . If I am elected,
mil I believe th a t I w ill be elected, 1
will enforce the laws upon th e rich and
poor alike. ”
