The department of state has not yet com municated with Minister Douglass on the subject of his immediate departure for Haiti, as suggested by Amiral Gtierardi. It is believe 1 that the request for his presence is caused by a belief that the re lati< ns between the’presaut United States representative and the other foreign repre sentatives have become somewhat strained. Meanwhile it is said as areas in for delay in sending Minister Douglass to his post, that this government is in grave doubt as to the pn per authority to whom he should be accredited, and wli le this was something of a problem in President Legitime’s ad ministration, it has become even more complicated since his departure, us the state department is in entire official igno rance of tue terms of capitulation, and the tenure by which Gen. Hippolyte governs. BEHRINvJ SB A ROWS. No News from England Received by the State Department.

The reports from Kentucky and Tenuessee state that rain is needed to insure tho full development of the corn and tobacco crops. In tho West Gulf states, including Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, staple crons are much improved by dry weather and excessive sunshine. The cotton crop was improved. Rice cutting and cotton picking are in progress in Louisiana, and up to this date the boll worms and caterpillars have caused but slight damage. Crops are also much improved in the eastern portion of the cotton region, and while tho weather was favorable in Missis sippi and Alaba ra, boll worms and cater pillars aredoing much damage to the crop, causing serious apprehension.

The City of Para Has a Narrow Escape from Destruction. New York, Aug. 34.—The Pacific mail steamship City of Para with twenty-nine cabin pass ,agors|arrived at Bandy Hook this morning from AspiuwalL The coamings of her forward hatch burned and scorched are the outward marks of a big fire, which came very near destroying the vessel and her precious cargo. The Para left New York tbe first part of this mouth with a full cargo of merchandise. DISCOVERY OF THE FLAMES. She reached Aspinwall in due season and longshoremen and sailors had discharged a total of GSO tons of cargo from the nold when fire was discovered among the ectto i and naval stores which were stowed in the forward compartment. This was on the evening of Aug. 11, two days after the ves sel’s arrival. The fire had complete control of the forehold when discovered, and before an alarm could be sounded great sheets of flame and volumes of smoke filled the air over the forward part of the craft. aspinwall’s ancient department. The flames attracted the attention of the ancient fire department of Aspinwail, which turned out and, with a number of American laborers about tho dock, set to work to assist the people of the steamship in extinguishing the flames. All through the night of Aug. 11 the men toiled, several falling exhausted from overwork. Aug. 12 opened with tho fire still burning fiercely, and toward noon of that day it looked as if the steamer was doomed. During the afternoon of tne 12th, the flames went down as suddenly as they began and at 4 o’clock Capt. Lock wood, tne skipper of the ship reported the fire extinguished. A considerable quantity of cargo was destroyed and the interior of the vessel is badly damaged. PEACE AT MT. PLEASANT. The Troops Retire and Leave the Sheriff’s Posse in ControL Charleston, S. C., Aug.— 24. -The state troops evacuated Mt. Pleasant this morn ing at 6 o’clock, without having had a collision. The Prisoner Schaefer was brought over to tho city last night under guard. Seven negroes who were engaged in inciting the mob to storm the jail were arrested last night and are now in Jail them selves. The village to-night is crowded with negroes, but tho sheriff has had time to organize a strong posse and professes to bo able to prosorve the peace and prevent the rescue of the ring leaders of yesterday’s disturbance. PURELY ACCIDENTAL. The evidence at the inquest proved con clusively that the snooting was accidental and Schaefer will probaoly be released on bail Monday. The feeling against the whites on the part of the negroes is one of intense bitterness, and unless the law officers take strong precautionary measures there is danger of an outbreak. Strange to say this bitterness extends even to some of the negroes in this city. NORTHERN ILLINOIS MINER3. A Committee Unable to Suggest a Remedy for Their Troubles. Chicago, 111., Aug. 24.—Judge Gould and Dr. Fred H. Wines, who were appointed by Gov. Fifer os a commission to investi gate and report upon the Northern Illinois miners’ troubles, have presented a vo luminous report to the governor. The gentlemen find that it is impos sible for the minors to subsist upon the wages offered by the operators, but de cline to state any conviction that the present market and controlling conditions will jus tify the operators in offering a higher rata of wages. They state that the facility with which coal can be worked in south ern Illinois places the northern Illinois miners under a decided disadvantage in tho mat er of output and wages. In the report of 12,000 words, the commission fails to recommend any panacea for tbe existing troubles, and concludes with the reflection that the situation is as hopeless as it is dis tressing. A Railroad Company Censured. Butler, Pa., Aug. 24. —The coroner’s jury in the case of the wreck of the excur sion train on the West Pennsylvania rail road, near Carver’s station, on Aug. 16, rendered a verdict this evening censuring the railroad company severely.

He studied at the conservatory at Vienna, and was the pupil of the famous Strauss. SAVANNAH, GA., SUNDAY, AUGUST 25, 1889. A BAD PAIR OF OUTLAWS, JUDGE BOYD WANTSTROOPS SENT TO HARLAN COUNTY. He Suggests Forming a Cordon Through Which the DesDeradoes Will Be Unable to Break—The Men Wanted Related to Nearly a Quarter of the People ln the County. Louisville, Ky., Aug. 24. —Judge Robert Boyd, of the Fifteenth judicial dis trict, in which Harlan county is situated, came here to-day to request Gov. Buckner to send troops to arrest Wilson Howard, the leader of a band of outlaws that killed four citizens last Tuesday. Judge Boyd spoko iu substance as follows: “I think troops aro necessary to capture the outlaws, and their presence is essential at tlio criminal court in order that the iaw may be en forced. HOW HE PROPOSES TO WORK. “It is my plau to station officers at all the principal outlets of Harlan conuty and let them intercept all attempts to escape from the county. Then let the troops raid their t aetuesses and either capture or drive them into tho hands of the officer* who guard roads and other outlets. hard men to bag. Wilson Howard and Bill Jennings could be taken tue trouble would eud. But they are related to about one-fourth of the Harlan county inhabitants, atid have a large number of active supporters. Conse quently it would boa hard matter to cap ture them without military support. Howard and Jennings offered to surrender to me and sent Harry Eversole to negotiate the c mditions. They sent word that they would surrender if they were assured that bail vouici be allowed them, but I of course demanded an unconditional surrender. WANTS TO PUT THEM ON THE GIBBET. “I think the best thing to bo done iu case of capture wouid be to turn them ovor to the Missouri authorities as quickly as possi bl •. They are both wanted in that state for two or three murders. They murdered a doaf mute in cold blood and I think killed oue or two persons afterward. Marshal Hunter came near capturing Howard some time since out in Rockcastle county. Howard, however, wa* forewarned before Capt. Hunter reac.ied the house, and made good his escape on a very swift horse. I shall continue to hold court as usual.” Gov. Buckner is of the % opinion that a strong posse would do more good thau troops. OUT RATES TO CHATTANOOGA. They Will Draw a Crowd to the Army of the Cumberland Reunion. Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 24.—The Merchants’ and Miners’ line of boats have announced a round-trip fare of S3O 67 from Boston and Providence via Norfolk and the Hast Tennessee railroad to Chattanooga and returnon the occasion of the meeting of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland in Chattanooga, Sepr. 18, 11) and 30.

This has created great consternation in railroad circles, and it is probable that all roads leading into Chattanooga will make the same rate on the occasion of the meet ing of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland, one of the princi pal fea ures of which will" be the forming of society of veterans of both armies. Word has been received here that the brigade which was commanded by President Harrison will attend the reunion in a body, and that the President has con sented to accompany them, though this has not been officially announced.

H. Brobston and Janies Lanier. Brobston struck Orpheus Lanier and the latter raised a large stick, at the same tune advancing on him. Brobston then preset ted liis pistol at Lanier. At this moment W. F. Brob ston, a cousin and Drother-in-law of W. H., drew his pistol and fired at his cousin, who though seriously hurt, returned the fire and a short duel ensued between the two, termi nating in W.

Munster, Aug. 24. —On the arrival of tho imperial train here bells were pealod and tho crowds assembled at the station sent up a joyous welcome. Triumphal arches had been erected, and the city was in holiday attire. The woather was splen did. a phenomenal success. [Copyright, 188'J, by yew Ynrk Aatociatecl Prrss.l Berlin, Aug. 24.—Compared with tho visit of the late Emperor William to Alsace- Lorraine iu 1877, tho present emperor’s visit was a phenomenal success. After making every allowance for official zeal in stirring the provinces to enthusiasm, the emperor’s reception indicates a remark able progress made in Germanizing the provinces during the past decade. The journey from Strasburg to Metz was a triumphal progress. All tho intermediate stations were gayiy decorated and crowded with people, who cheered the emperor, whose tact under the difficult cir cumstances was remarkable, lie male brief replies to various toasts, etc., but said not a word at which the French could be offended. the passport system. The only incident that possibly can cause anxiety arose from the passport question. The president of the Strasburg Chamber of Commerce, on being presented to Emperor William, petitioned him to abolish tho present rigorous regulations. The emperor briefly expressed regret at his inability to do anything iu this direction. By order of Prince Von Hohenloho, an imperial decroe was published in Strasburg to night, expressing the thanks of their majesties for the brilliant receptions ac corded them, which the decree says strengthen the conviction that those origi nally Grrinau territories, inhabited as they are bvan honest and intelligent population, will become still moro closely aUacnod to the fatherland. The emperor has sent a life-size portrait of himself to Prince von Hohenloho. WESTPHALIA’S LOYALTY. At a gala dinner in Munster castle to night the emperor, replying to a toast to his health, dwelt upon the energy and en durance f the Westphalians, whose princi ples he said he imbibed in his youth, his tutor having been a Westphalian. Westphalia has always shi*wn itself loyal to the Prus sian House. He hoped t iat the YVestpha lian sword, which had always kept its edge, would iu tho future as in the past give evidence of its keenness if it should again be necessary to uuslieath it in the defense of the newly united fatherland. He drank, “Prosperity to YY’estphalia.” ANULO-OERMAN RELATIONS. An inspired article in the Cologne Gazette on the results of Emperor William’s visit to 0 borne says tho relai ions between Eng land aud Germany, out of which much mat ter for superflous disharmony has been elim inated, is beginning to bo much more friendly owing, however, 1 1 the opposition of the radicals in parliament. Tho English government, is compelled to proceed cau tiotisly toward a rapprochement with Ger many. GERMANY AND THK CZAR. The Russian Embassy at Berlin Evi dently Expecting a Visit. Copyrighted 1889 by the Xcw York Associated Pi'ess. Berlin, Aug. 34. —Copenhagen telegrams announce that the czar and czarina boarded tho imperial yacht at Poterhof yesterday, and were expected in Copenhagen Tuesday, but at the last moment the sailing was postponed. Glen. Schuvaloff, the Russian minister, returned here Wednesday. Count Nessel rode, the czar’s master of ceremonies, has aiso arrived. The Russian embassy is evi dently expecting a visit from the czar. COUNT BISMARCK GOES TO MUNSTER. Count Herbert Bismarck, interrupting his holiday, left Hamburg to-day for Mun ster, presumably to consult the emperor regarding the czar’s visit. The belief now is that tho czar will disembark at Stettin en route to Copenhagen, and have a brief, quiet meeting with Emperor William at Potsdam. There will be no military dis play such ns was presented for King Hum bert and Emperor Francis Joseph, all tho guards having departed tho autumn maneuvers in Silesia. SMALL HOPE OF AN ENTENTE. The Cologne Gazette says: “YVhether the czar comes or not, there is small hopo that the relations between Russia and Ger many will improve.” Tho North German Gazette reproduces tho official article of tbe Hamburg Cor respondent, to the effect that tbe czar’s visit cannot influence tlio question of peace or war. The Novoe Vremia and other leading Russian papers are making ooon bids for Turkish support as a counterbalance to the powerful combination of the central European powers. TOILERS FARE LIKE PRINCES.

BEAUTIFUL BERLIN. Topics that Now Pass Current in Court Circles. [Copyright, 1880, by New York Auociated Freie.] Berlin, Aug. 34.—The ministerial coun cil has decided to reassemble the Reichstag the middle ot October, for the purpose of submitting to it sevoi'al important measures. Prince Bismarck and Herr Oeiscldager had a long conference to-day on the subject of the negotiations between the various German governments regarding new re pressive socialist laws.

One of the best of these was that of Mr. Gordon, who said: Mu. Speaker—l am no orator like the gentle, man who has preceded me, nor like those who Will follow me, and therefore I esteem it ail tha greater privilege that I am allowed, in my plain, blunt way to bear testimony to the worth and im*rit of l,ewig Arnheim. When, in 1884, he first entered this arena of public life, he was thrown at once into conflict with veteran* who had al rnady stamped their impress legislation, and with many new men Ilka himself uuknown to fame, but panting to griip~ pie with tun great question* about to be di*> cussed. It was no di credit to them to say that* Mr. Arnheim from the vory first became one of the leaders of the House. The human min* cannot grasp the idea of length and breadth an A night and distance except by Comparison, ami hence I truHt you will pardon me, Mr. Speaker. it 1 11 angress parliamentary rules by mention* ing names so that all may n cognizai tost when l/cwis Arnheim did not suffer by com parison with the vet runs Calvin and Little, and Kussell and Tate, and Oustin and Harris, an 1 Harrull of VVabulsr. airt Turner of Coweta, and Harrison of (Jultman, ami that old man elo (iuent, Fe ton of Bartow; and with tbe new aspirant, clay, whose sturdy arguments nouo could witluitumi, and Berner, with tbe silvery tongue, you will recognize, I ty, that ha w-a* no common man, ami wdl comprehend tliw measure of his intellectual ureatness. BURNING QUESTIONS. There were burning Quest ions to be discussed in that lentalaturi*, ainoug them prohibition, re formatory and railroad coiiinuaeion problems. On the prohibition quwtiou he was not in ac cord witn tbe majority of the House, yet ha held hit owu without wincing or elioitinx bad feeling, and ooutri uted largely toward that compromise which has been accepted by all M the correct solution of the problem and given local out lon to each community In this commonwealth. On the reformatory question he was abreast of the foremost, and if mi results have yet followed. It is because tlm harvest time has not yet coine. The seed then sowed did not fall by the wayside, nor on stony* places. It still lives and will brine forth fruit In due season. But it wiib in the discussion of the railroad question that he made his deepest mark, as a tribune of the people. with out disparaxlng.othors, it was concede! that Felton, ami Ilawkes, and llerner and Arnheim were the leaders in this fight and that among them, for skill in parliamentary law and power In debate ho was pre-eminent. Ilia wit ami humor lit up the run ning debate like the heat ilghtn.ng upon a summer s night, and in a prolonged address, hie voice echoed through the corridors of the old capitol like the thunder of a terrific storm. His Invective atid sarcasm scathed and withered ed| it struck, like lightning from a mountain’s cloud. PROUD OF HW NATIONALITY. Mr, Speaker, the e is anor her aspect In which: to view Lewis Arheim. With some there might have been prejudices against him be* tuse ha was a Jew and a German. A spirit less brava might have been disposed to pander to suefl prejudices by attempting to conceal or bdittla the facts, hut he wiw. no hypocrite, nor was li ashamed of his religion or his birth. He was pioud of hia lineage, that went bad centuries before there was a Hapahurg ora Hoi enzollarn. He was proud of his nation which has domi nated one continent arid helped to muid up an other. In my own community there aro Israel ites who are among our foremost amt most re spected citizens, in social and professional and mercantile ami financial life. There are tier, mans whom we esteem as among our best clti - zens. and among them is our chief magistrate, who, like Lewis Ambeim, came to America, poor and friendless and by industry and talent bas won his way to prominence. Among all who mourn for Lewi* Arnheim. there are none in whose hearts hi* death will leave a deeper gap than in tbe hearts of the Israelites and Germans of Chatham county. In their names, as well os in the natna of every citizen of Geor la, I tender sympathy and respect. “The ripest fruit falls earliest to the ground.” Yet who would have pre dicted, when he entered this arena flvo years ago in all tho blush of youth and manly strength and intellectual vigor that he would be tne first of his compeers to pass away. But he has not lived in vain 16 is a proud reflection that in this country single handed merit can reap rewards seldom achieved elsewhere. The life of the man wo mourn Is aa example of what can be done without money and ' without friends, and it will stimulate su'ceediug generations to effort. In the delirium of nis death bed. Stonewall Jackson said: "Let us cross the river and rest under the trees." Arnheim lias crossed the river and is at rest. Wlieu we stood, a few days past, by the side of his grave, I joined In tha words of the eloquent sp a,er, who concluded with “Farewell comrade, farewell friend,” and mentally I added the hope tiiat when my turn came to cross the river, I might leave behind a record as untarnished—a fame as fair us that of Lewis Arnheim. The resolutions wore adopted with a rising vote, and while it was being taken id was noticed that Mclver, the colored mem ber from Liberty, who was known to enter tain warm feelings for Mr. Arnheim, was in tears. SNELSON AGAIN HEADED OFF. Mr, Snelson of Meriwether exploited himself to some extent iu reply to tha attack of Mr. McDonald of Ware yesterday, but the speaker enforced the rules, and the reply was tame. Afterward a resolution was adopted thatany members using unparliament :ry language should be held guiliy of contempt of tba House, and tie punished under the rules. Mr. Hudson insisted that his protest against this resolution should be placed upon tha record, and it was done. BUCK TO SUCCEED NELMS. He Will Fill the Places in Hia Gift With Negroes.
