Raymond's action in opposing the appointment of Mr. Hazelton to succeed Mr. Riddle as attorney of the Dis- trict. The report that reached a Stax reporter was to the effect that Gen. Casey, chief of engineers, had the following-named officers under consid- eration for Maj. Raymond's place, the odds being in favor of Col. Hains: Lieut, Col. Robert of Philadelphia; Col. Hains, who is now in charge of the Potomac flats improvement, and Maj. Allen, now on duty at St. a rapertee broached the subject to Gen.

He Claimsa Majority of 700 in His Dis- triet—Protection of Southern Voters. A Srar reporter was talking with Mr. Good- ridge of Florida today about his contest for a seat in the House, He says his case is entirely made up and that it will show beyond dispute that he had a majority of more than 700 in his district by an honest count, In this, he says, he takes no account of legal voters who were struck from the register and did not offer their votes at the polls, though those votes would have been cast for him. He counts only such votes as were presented for him in full con- formity with the law and of these there are 700 more than a majority. He, of course, ex- pects to get his seat when Congress is fully or- ganized. Some sort of legislation he thinks is necessary for the protection of voters in the south, because he does not see any other way toreachthe trouble. He sayshe may have some doubts about the entire wisdom of federal election laws such as would be necessary, but he does not see any other way to cure the trouble. Speaking of the civil service law he said he wanted to vive itashuking up. He said he was opposed to it; but he modified this with the explanation that he thought 1t imperfect in that it did not do what most of all it should do—protect the clerks in the govern- ment offices from removal without cause, He said he wanted to see the law confined in its | operations to the working clerical force, not extending to chiefs ot division, and then wanted it so changed as to make itas much & violation of law to dismiss a clerk for political reasons only as to appoint him merely as a partisan, MR. DOUGLASS IN HAYTI. He Thinks the Problem of the Negro’s Future is to be Solved There. Minister Douglass is said to have felt home- sick on landing at Port-au-Prince and riding up through the sordid and filthy lower part of the town. The scene is always depressing to strangers, Mr. Douglass, however, has hopes for Hayti. At the dinner given by the ex-American minister, Mr. “hompson, and Mrs. Thompson to the Hon. Frederick Douglass and party there was an exchange of sentiments, saysa corre- spondent of the New York Sun, making many regret the lack of a stenographer. In response to the sincere and most appreciative tribute paid him by his host Frederick Douglass ex- ressed his personal sentiments concerning the ature of Havtiand the race controlling ite destinies with an eloquence recalling his eeches in the old anti-slavery days. He em- phasized the fact that a foreign invader had never succeeded in getting a foothold on the island since the negro had become its master. Hayti, with all her troubles, had held her own, The problem of the future of the negro would be aseured in her future. The race through- out the world was linked with her success or failure in self government. “Whatever is for the prosperity and enduring good of Havti is for the prosperity and enduring good of the United States. Whatever is for the good of the United States is for the good of Hayti, and for the good of Hayti the black race should be as one the world round.” Driving up from the dock the day of his ar- rival Minister Douglass was naturally greatly depressed at the condition of the city and the de :radation of the peo le thronging the streets. “Well,” fe said, finally, “they are free. If they were slaves and in this condition how hopeless their elevation might be.” a Mr. Butterworth on the Ohio Campaign.

Nearly all of the delegates were present. Ad- miral Bowden-Smith of England asked, in be- half of the committee on devices and systems, that no more plans be considered by that body not already submitted. He said that unless the flood is stopped in some way the committee will be unable to make any intelligible report. Mr. Goodrich thought that a little 2 PUBLIC NOTICE SHOULD BE GIVEN to inventors and proposed an amendment giv- ing two more days, limiting consideration of devices to those submitted to the committee by Wednesday. Admiral Nares asked that this be applied as well tothe committee on sound signals and Ad- miral Kaznakoff moved to amend 80 as to include the committee on Feige eral the motion. as amended by these two en, was adopted, so that all matters appertaining to these bodies not submitted to them by Wednesday cannot receive official consideration. Mr. Flood of Norway submitted a resolution to the effect that the subject of the SPEED OF VESSELS IN THICK WEATHER be reported to a special committee. Mr. Hall thoucht this too important a sub- ject to be entrusted toa committee and asked that the original principal be adhered to, that each gers matters of policy alone should be considered by the conference iteelf. Mr. Gi ‘ich said that the ananimous opinion of the American delegates went with the delegate from Great Britain. In matter it seemed to be a case of pope and peasant, where the wisdom of the pope was not so valuable as wisdom of the pope and Peasant combined, and he Mela favored the discussion of this topic by entire con- ference. When the motion was put by the chair the voice of the conference wentsolidly against the resolution Capt. Shackford gave notice of an amend- ment to eliminate article 18 of the rules of the road entirely from the list. This article is that “every ship shall go &@ moderate speed in a fog, mist or falling snow.” AS TO AMENDMENTS OF THE RULES. Mr. Hall of Great Britain offered a resolution looking to the simplification of the methods of deliberation. It was to the effect that all pro- posed amendments to the rules be given viva voce without discussion or comment and that all amendments in regard to the numbering or collocation of the rules be postponed until the conference has dealt with the principles of the rules, This was adopted with an addition pro- posed by Capt. Sampson that all such amend- ments be submitted during the first few min- utes of the session. Capt. Shackford of the United States arose with a great bundle of papers in his hand, which, he said, were amendments to a number of articles. The secretary read them at length. “RULES OF THE ROAD.” Shortly before noon the president announced that the time had come for the ‘second read- ing” of the rules of the road, to which 86 amendments had been submitted up the 22d instant, and after each delegate had been provided with the P je Aeseeres 4 literature the Loggia began secon reading. He first rea cle 1 and then the first amendment to it, that submitted by delegate Goodrich, for the pi de: the words “ship” and “steam vessel.” amendment was: “Every steam vessel which is under sail and not under steam is to be con- sidered a sailing vessel, and every steam vessel which is under steam, whether under sail or not, is to be considered a vessel under steam.” Mr. Goodrich said that he would not occupy the time of the conference by repeatiug his ar- gument in favor of a strict definition, Mr. Verney of Siam argued in favor of post- ming the definition of such terms, but Mr. drich would not concede this. =~ Mr. Hall moved to amend by making steam vessel being towed a sailing vessel, Mr. Goodrich’s amendment wae read in En; lish and French and was unanimously adopted, Mr. Hall’s amendment to it going over for future consideration. After the vote was taken Mr. Goodrich offered a suggestion that in voting upon the amendments the voices of the powers represented be taken individually by an aye and nay vote. This was agreed to. DEFINITION OF STEAM VESSELS, The next amendment then came up for ac- tion, proposed by Mr. Hall, October 21, adding these words to article 1: “Steam vessels shall include ail vessels propelled by machinery.” In discussing the matter Mr. Goodrich sug- gested that even this might permit of con- fusion, for the word machinery was very vague. He had seen little boats with mechanical de- vices propelled by hand, and there were many devices that would include craft within the definition that had no right there. He pro- posed to change the aoe to read: “Steam vessels shall inelude all not propeiled by sails or manual power.” And yet even this would not exclude canal boats, Mr. Hall thonght that the word “machinery” was broad enough, Still, be did not regard his amendment at in the light of a god-child and would be glad to hear further suggestions. He asked that a vote be taken on this amend- ment as far as its principle was concerned, but mot binding the conference to the words used. Under this condition the amendment was adopted and the phraseology of the definition will be determined upon later, A QUESTION OF LIGHT. The amendment, numbered two, proposed by Capt. Salvesen of Norway to article two, was withdrawn, His other amendment to the same article, numbered four, was read. It added these words to the article: “During which time no other hghts which may be mis- taken for the lights above-mentioned are to be exhibited.” ns ‘The hour for lo’clock, har arrived _— the discumion’ was pales eten was THE DELEGATE FROM COSTA RICA.

That is All the Virginia Democrats Cuncede to Mahone. Special Dispatch to Taz EvEeyine Star Rroumonp, Oct. 28.—The political excitement in Richmond and other cities in the state is now almost as great as it was the week before the election in 1883, when Mahone was over- whelmingly defeated. One hears little else but politics. it ix talked in the clubs, at the hotels, in the counting rooms, in the work shops and in the streets. Groups of politicians might have been seen gathering on the corners Sun- day discussing ey ‘8 registration. The democrats are highly pleased with the result, | for from nearly every city and from many of the counties large white gains on the registra- tion books are reported. Up to Saturday the situation was uncertain, The democrats were undoubtedly frightened and the republican rs were doing very little bragging. Both | sides seemed unwilling to bet. Ihave never known a campaign in which there was tuch an absence of betting on the result, But rester- day and today the democratic managers in this ea of the state have expressed their confi- nce in McKinney's election by something like 20,000. They begin to think that the bot- tom has fallen out of the Mahone party. But it is yet too soon for them to hurrah. Mahoue certainly has a fighting chance. Capt, Henry } Hudwall, Mahone's chairman in this city, says | Mahone is confident of winning by 10,000. He has been with’ Mahofte a good deal of late, and has great faith in what he tells him. Mahone has spent a great deal of money in the cam- paign, but nothing compared with what he will | spend this week, at least this is what his friends here say, Se LIBERALISM NEARING A_ CRISIS. Gladstone and Parneli Predict a Victory for the Irish Party. Loxpox, Oct. 28.—The probable date of the next general election, when the people will have an opportunity of again choosing between toryism and liberalism, is a matter of quite general and aimost perennial discussion. A short time ago the preponderance of opinion was that a new election would be held within 9 year. This belief was based on the somewhat remarkable series of successes on the part of the liberals in the by-elections to fill occasional vacancies in the house of commons. But of late there has been a perceptible check to the tide of liberal victory. It is not so much the defeat in the ‘hton election as the change if public feeling indicated in less obvious ways that bas put a damper upon the bright hopes of many of Mr. Gladstone's follow- ers. As to Mr. Gladstone himself, it cannot be said that he has indulged in too ne views on this point. He has often been sup- posed by political friends to anticipate a too pear ee of the elections, but this has imply due to on their part, caused by his ever-buoyant enthusiasm, and to the fect that until he the reter- ence to Mr, Asquith's desire for information he had not felt called npon for a definite opin- ion. All the best authorines within reuch appear to agree with him now that the date is yet remote, and that if the liberal successes continue and affect the great issue it will be by stimulating the government to undertake, from a feeling of | alarm, measures which they are alike incom- | petent to frame or to carry forward with suc- | cess, The misfortunes of the allied parties will for the present, it is thought, tend to draw them more closely together in order to put off | as long as possible the evil day when they must | teckon with the whole people. A very notable | member of parliament said yesterday that this would be their present feeling and that it would certainly bold for the next session. Afterward he thought there might be a fis- Siparous tendency. In the next session, he was of opinion, the dissentient liberals will ac- cept anything or nothing as the program of the government. But then will follow the time of more precise prospects and of statements such as that to which Mr. Gladstone looks for- ward; and then the breaking up of the majority may be expected. This coincides very much with a view which Mr. Parnell expressed in conversation lately, that next sesson will be the most critical for the government in regard to demands for an frish policy, and that of the succeeding year will prove decisive and prob- ably fatal, —a A CHICAGO OPINION, Base Ball Experts Take Little Stock in the New Movement.
