The Navy Department has been informed that yellow fever has appeared on tho Yantic, and that the has left Port-au-Prince for home. The dispatch did not state whether any of the officers had been taken with the fever, and in the absence of such information it is believed that none of them are down with it. Admiral Luce also stated that the Galena, after coaling at Jamaica, would go back to Port-au-Prince to look after matters there, . and that the Haytien Republic remained ' there awaitinga ere w to take her northward. 'The development of tho fever on board the t Yantic so soon after her arrival in Haytien vwatcrs, and following the experience of he Boston, indicates that any Northern J vessel going to that port is likely to be similarly affected. It is very unpleasant news I for naval officers, as some of our ships are likely to be there for some timo to come. It .is expected that the United States steamer ;' Ossipee, now at Norfolk, will sail for Port- ; au-Prince in a few days. This is in accord- ; ance with orders issued to her commander f by Rear-admiral Iuce, commanding the 5 North Atlantic squadron, prior tohiadepart- ' tire on the Galena for Hay ti. Indiana Pensions.

Gen. A gnu Prefer the Newspaper Business. Baltimore, Jan. 4. Tho following editorial will appear in to-morrow's American: During the past several weeks many newspaqers of tho East and South have nublUhed complimentary references to Gen. Felix Agnus Jn connection with the rcpresentatiou ot the South in the Cabinet of President Harrison. We may, we think, without transgressing the bounds ot good taste, extend our heartiest thanks to those who have taken an active interest In this matter, and say that General Agnus, while fully appreciating the kindness of his fcllow-Kepub-licauf, would prefer to remain at the head of the American, even should an honor which is Invisible materialize. Tho direction of a newspaper is a great resiwnslbility. When that Journal is the leading representative of enterprise in the South the newer that it includes is beyond any subordi nate political office, and its welfaro has an importance that cannot beover-eutimated. We confidently look for the breaking up of the solid Houtll in 1892, and it will not occur in one State, but in a number of them. Once this disintegra tion of the youth begins, the principle of protec tion will fully assert lUeli and the magnificent resources of these States wUl bo properly developed. It Is an Inspiring privilege to be at tho head of this coming revolution, and the American appreciates the greatness of us position. Cer tainly, then, no one can blame General Agnus for preferring to remain in tho newspaper business. lie is a newspaper man, not a politician. Losses by Fire. East Liverpool, O., Jan. 4.

An Alleged Conspiracy of Blacks Eesnlts in One Assassination and 3Iany Arrests. New Orleans, Jan. 4. A special dispatch to tho Times-Democrat from Meridian, Miss., says: Tn tho neighborhood of the Roberts place, twelve miles northwest of this city, there has been great excitement since the Wednesday after Christmas. Tho trouble appears to have originated from tho had feeling engendered among the negroes of that locality by the lynching of the negro who entered the house of Mr. Houston, at midnight, and attempted to murder one of the inmates with an ax. The negro was recognized and afterwards hanged. Since that time tho negroes have been making threats. Just beforo the holidays an old negro reported a conspiracy to kill certain whites. This was corroborated by overhearing a conversation between the negro reporting the existence of the conspiracy and one Hud JSpears, who, it was said, was a ring-leader among the negroes. Upon the evidence of the negro and the statement of Spears s conspiracy and his determination to carry out his threat, a party of masked men rode un to his house on tho 26th and riddled him with buckshot. An other negro who was at Spears's housowas wounded in tho hand, but escaped. Since that time the white people of that section havo been ferreting out the conspirators and arresting negroes and trying them before a justice of the peace. Seven negroes were under arrest yesterdav, and upon investigation were acquitted. A number of men are still under arms, but things aro gradually quieting down."

Washington PpecIaL . , . -, The electoral votes lor rresiuen anu Vice-president this year will be counted in a new way and under a new law. On Feb. 3. last vear. President Cleveland approved the bill providing for the change of method. The first evidence of the operation of tho new law camo form to-day, when tne secretary of State communicated to the Senate and House certitied reports which he had received from the Governors of the States, showing the result of tho late presidential electiou. . . Under the new law tho presidential elect ors will meet in their respective States, one week from next Monday, for the purpose of electing the President and Vice-president. nut the result oi mat meeting win noi ue officially declared until the second Wednes day in February, when there will bo a joint convention of the Senate and House to receive the votes of tho presidential electors, canvass theni, and officially declaro tne names of the new President and Vice-president. Certificates of tho result of the November election have been received to date by the Secretary of Stato from only a portion of the Governors. From day to day, as they continue to reach the Stato Department, Secretary Uayard will promptly transmit copies of them to Congress. The law also directs him to have a copy of each certilicate published in some newspaper. The certificates which have been received up to the present time have been published in one ot Tiie wasnmgion iiewspapeiu. Some of them are brief, compact documents and do not take up much space, but the certilicate bearing the signature of Goy. David JJ. Hill, ol rsew lork, is not one ot tliese. it occupies jieariy mreo Sages of the newspaper in which tho pubcation was made. The same law which requires the Governor to send this certificate to the Secretary of State also reouires him to present three copies of it to each of the candidates elected to tho Electoral College. These three copies ho may deliver any time up to the day on which the presidential electors meet, the second Monday in Jaunary. . Section 4 of the new law sets forth in detail the manner in which the electoral vote shall bo finally counted, as follows: Congress shall be In session on the pecond Wednesday in February succeeding every meeting of the electors. The Senate and House of Representatives! Rhall meet, in the House, of Representatives at tho hour of 1 o'clock in the afternoon of that day, and the President of the Senate phall be their presiding officer. Two tellers phall be previously appointed on the part of the Senate and two on tho part of the House of Representatives, to whom shaU be banded, as they are opened by tho President of the Beuate, all the certificates and papers purporting to be certificates of the electoral votes, which certificates aud papers fball be opened, presented and acted upon in the alphabetical order of the States, beginning with the letter A; and said tellers, having then read the same In the presence and hearing of the two houses, ahall make a list of the votes as they shall appear from the said certificates; and the votes having been ascertained and counted in the manner and according to the rules in this act provided, the result of the same shaU be delivered to the President of tho Senate, who shall thereupon announce the state of the vote, which announcement shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the persons, if any, elected President and Vicepresident of tho United States, and together with a list of the votes, be entered upon the journals of the two houses. Asthere are not likely to be any objections raised against any of the returns which the joint convention of tho two houses will bo called to act upon, there will probably bo no delay in making the official announcement of the election of Harrison and Morton. m The lretty Girls or Ireland. San Francisco Chronicle. The Irish ladies are, perhaps, the prettiest in, the wide world, always excepting our fair cousins, tho Yankee belles. Their features, it is true, aro less regular than those of English women, but they trinmph over them with their soft, creamy complexions, their large, appealing gray-blue eyes and long lashes, and a sort of indefinable charm and demure coquetry, yet thoroughly modest manners. "Kvery third Irish woman," wrote the Queen in her diary, when last visiting the country, is beautiful, and 6ome of them remarkably so. Their hair and eyes aro simply lovely.', Apart from personal charms, it is impossible not to admire the gentle grace and dignity of the wives and daughters of the Kmerald Isle. Go where you will, I defy you to find an Irish woman who is otherwise than naturally distinguished the very bar-maids being superior in bearing and speech to many English duchesses. Th list of beauties is a long one, and, looking back, we can recall histories of tho extraordinary loveliness of the three Miss Gunnings, who, when they came up to London, had actually to bo escorted in Hyde Park by a guard of soldiers sent by the order of the Secretary of State, so overwhelmingly was the crowd pressing upon them. I hen. there was Lady Demi Lady Cahir, Lady Clare, and many oth rs, to say nothing of the present young Duchess of Leinster, oue of the most attractive women of this or auy other day.
