A Haitian deputy, who professes to be

well informed on all political matters, said

yesterday that the government was certain

to favor the elimination of Article 6 from

the Constitution at the session of the Cham

bers, which will probably begin this week.

The correspondent of the Associated Press

derived from Brutus St. Victor, the secre

tary of state for foreign relations, to-day,

an entirely different view of the parliamen

tary programme. Mr. St. Victor denied

Categorically that the government contem

tion is rural, and that it is strongly wedded

to national traditions.”

as to the means which the government in

tends to take to check the increase of the

premium on paper money; but*he admitted
