believe that it is, then tho United States will stand in tho position toward the Mack Kepublic of a semi-political sponsor, and American ideas and American . influences will havo '-greater weight in Hayti than ever before. It was known to havo been the policy of Mr. Cleveland, dnnng tho last administration, to favor tho canse of Hippoly te, bnt he had not proceeded to fully outline his poljcy when the administration changed. There aro a great many reasons why it is no longer desirable, but almost Imperative, that the United States should be on friendly terms with Hayti, and if tho revolution just brought to a close results, as it is expected to do, in the ascendency of a party able and willing to see the benefits to be derived bv a closer commercial alliance with the United States, the result will be that this country will have what it has needed for so long a time, namely, a coaling station in the West Indies.

Con man Owen Give Ills. Views on the Suhject Vhen the Call May Be Made. Kpecl&l to the Indianapolis Journal. -Washington, Aug. 120. Congressman Owen, of Indiana, arrived in Washington this morning. ' Mr. Owen was at once asked for his views upon the chances for an extra session of Congress. As he is one of the three Republicans from Indiana who will occupy Beats in the next House his views carry more weight than those of members from other States who are not so intimate -with the President. "I have had no direct assurance from tho President that he intends to call Congress together before December," said Mr. Owen, "but the last time that I was here we had 6ome talk on the subject, which led me to believe that it is the intention of the President to issue a call." "What remark of the President's gave you this impression!" "We were talking of. the work to bo done, and General Harrison expressed the opinion that if Congress should not meet until the regular day in December the resist would be that tho House would scarcely be organized and ready for business until after the middle of January." "In the event of a call, what do you expect will be the date fixed?" "Ibelievo that it will bo between the 20th of October and the end of the first week in November. It will be more likely to be nearer the former than tho latter da to." "Do you think that the death of Congressman Laird, and the consequent weakening of the Kepublican majority, will have any effect in changing the plans of tho President!" "No; I do not anticipate that it will have any bearing on the case. The call, if mado, will not take effect before the result of the elections in the new States are known, and there is every reason to believe that tho result of those elections will increase the Kepublican majority to such an extent as to insure an eariy organization ot tuu nuuse, even though the Democrats should attempt . to filibuster, and I have no idea that they ' "will do anything of the kind." The President Has Made No Announcement. To the "Western Associated Press. Deer Park, Md.. Aug. o President Harrison was seen this evening at his cottage by tho press representative. The President says that ho has made no announcement to any one as to calling an extra session of Congress. Ho said that ho has, of course, discussed tho pros and cons of the matter with various persons. However, it is understood that tho question is not determined. MINOR 3IATTEKS. A Modification of Requirements May Result in Securing Bids 'for the New Cruisers. "Washington, Aug. SC. Acting Secretary Walker is confident that, as a result of the modification of requirements in the case of the three two-thousand-ton cruisers, there will be many proposals, and that the depart ment will secure bids within the $700,000 limit fixed by the law. Tho minimum speed ' required to be made has been diminished from IS knots to 17 knots. As tho designs for hulls and machinery were based upon 18 knots, with more than a possibility of IS1? knots, there will bo a good opportunity for the contractors to net glOO.OOO bonus ou each shin, if the designs were oronerlv drawn. Just what can bo dono in tho caso of the two three-thousand-ton ships has not vet been determined. The minimum-speed limit cannot be reduced, as in the case of two-thonsand-ton vessels, for the reason that Congress has fixed it at 19 knots in tho appropriation act. 1 hero ia a strong desire on the part of the ship-builders to have tho four hours trial now required reduced to" one or, at most, two hours, and by making Bomo concessions in this respect the depart ment may. be able to readvertiso lor proposals with successful results. It was reported at tho Navv Department to-day that rs aval Constructor Bowles will ask to bo relieved from duty as a member of the board appointed to examine and re port upon tho plans lor the battle-shiD Texas. His motive is said to be a desire to forestall any criticism that might be made. based upon the fact that he has already conimitieu mmseii in iavor or xne construction of the ship upon the English design. Seeking Promotion for Lieutenant May. Bpecial to the IndiinaDolia Journal Washington, Aug. 20. Congressman Owen is here to attempt to secure promotion for Lieut. W. T. May. Lieutenant May was appointed professor of military science at the DePauw University at tho request of Congressman Owen, some four years aeo, and now that his term has expin d, Mr. Owen desires to secure tho promotion for the Lieutenant. There is a va cancy in the quartermaster s department which carries the rank of captain with it. and if Lieutenant May is successful In securing this position his chances for a brieadiers stars before he will be retired for age are fair, whereas, if he remains in the line of the army, he cannot hope for advancement beyond the rank of a major in side ot twenty years.

Alfred Ayl ward, formerly of the Transvaal republic, and more recently of this city, died at West Littleton, N. II., yesterday. Ho had been ailing for some time, and was very feeble for a month or so before his death, owing to a fall from a wagon. Aylward was born in tho south of Ire land in the year 1845. His early days were spent in a Jesuit college, where he acquired a knowledge of medicine. At the age of sixteen ho started in politics, joining one of the secret societies then in formation in favor of Fenianism. Getting into hot water on account of his open and fearless way of speaking, ho came to America and 6ervcd on tho side of tho North in tho war of tho rebellion on the medical staff. Re turning to Ireland at tho closo of the war he again espoused the cause of tho Fenians. His restless spirit could find no suitable employment in Dublin, and when Garibaldi took up arms ho joined him. lie returned to the canital of Ireland after the Italian campaign, and again resumed his old placo in the Feulan movement. He was "given a command in tho uprising of March 5. 18C7. and fauintr to carry out his oart ol tho plan of action, st into disrepute. Ho afterward went to Africa. He took a prominent place among the Iloers almost as soon as he landed among them. When hostilities beiran he was taken into the confidence ox Joubert, the leader of the lloers. and the result justified the partiality. He knew tne temper of the Knglisn people, and suggested a corps of crack shots to pick off tho officers of their army. I he percentage of officers killed and wounded in tho Transvaal war was very large, and as British officers aro usual ly men of social distinction, the eilcct in Knsland was very serious. There was no doubt at tho time that tho death of Sir George Colley had much to do with tho calling of a truce. During a short residenco m Scotland ho wrote tho "iransvaal of Today," and tho work has become a standard on the subject. Ho was an impassioned and eloquent orator, and possessed an unusual How of language. In appearance he was tall and Handsome, with manners and refinement of a gentleman, vet betraying a dash of tire. that seemed never to sleep, within him.

GLASS MEN FORI! A TRUST. An Organization of "rot-Men'1 That Promises . a Long Fight with the "Tank-Men.w New York, Aug. SC. The manufacturers of window-glass, table glass and crockery have formed a "trust," To-day Mr. Fitzpatrick, of tho firm of J. Fitzpatrick it Co., manufacturers of window-glass, said: A trust has been formed called tho United Glass Company. They have bought up ten of the principal plants in New York Stato and Ohio, but I don't think tho Western manufacturers will join the association." Tho object in forming tho trust is to savo expenses, make a profit and cheapen tho price of the goods. It is considered that this new trust will bo the salvation of many small plants that otherwise would have been obliged to closo up. This new trust is really tho beginning of a long light between tho old manufacturers, who aro known as the ,pot-men," and tho now men, called tho tank men." by reason . of their introducing a new method of making glass in tanks instead of pots. This new method has only one plant eroctetlin this country, that at Jcannette, Fa, Tho men behind the new enterprise have issued circulars that they will furnish glass at a reduction of from 10 to 15 per cent below the price of "pot men." This action would havo resulted in the going under of many small plants if they had stood alone. So a trust was formed, which inaugurates the beginning of a long lights Another thing tho "tank men' did was to import thirtyfive foreign glass-blowers under contract. Labor assembly No. iXX) at once brought action in the courts to have them returned. Tho district attorney recommended their return, and that the "tank" company ba lined 1,000 for each laborer; but his decision was revoked by the immigration commissioners at Washington. A trust is also contemplated bv the table glass men. A meeting of the Table-waro Glass Manufacturers' Association was recently held, at which a committee was appointed to adopt 6omo plan of organization. Later it was determined to form a trust for the purpose of strengthening prices and limiting production. Tho Ohio towns, with their oil and gas wells, ollered freo building sites, etc., and tried to get the members of tho trust to locate their combined factories in that State, but without success. It has been decided to tako in all the manufacturers of table gin ks if possible. But little has been made public regarding this trust, but it is now an assured fact. TELEORAPniC BREVITIES.
