Boisrond Canal Resigns His Office
235

House of Representatives, followed by a riot at Port-au-Prince, in which Mr. Boyer Bazelais, the leader of the Liberal party, took the chief part. The Government succeeded in restoring order. But feeling that he had lost the confidence of the Nationals and the Liberals alike after having unsuccessfully tried to play the part of peace-maker between them, President Boisrond Canal[1] resigned on the 17th of July, 1879.

  1. Boisrond Canal died at Port-au-Prince on the 6th of March, 1905, at the age of 73 years.
