CAPITAL NOTES. GOSSIP OF WASHINGTON IN. BRIEF PARAGRAPHS. Doings of the Chiefs and Heads of the Various Departments. Captain William L. Merry, consul general of Nicaragua to tho western states and territories of tho United States, states that he has just received intimation that tho commission ap pointed by President Cleveland to ex amine iuto the Nicaraguan canal pro ject intends to make a favorable re port to the president on November 1st. The British an–nssador Sir Julian Pauncefoto authorizes an unqualified denial of the published statement that he called at the state department on that a mission of great importance, and he informed Secretary Olney that in view of the interpretation which the country places on the Monroe doctrine in connection with the Venezuelan dispute, Great Britain would ask for delay iu preparing its reply and sub mitting it to this government. Attorney General Harmon has tele graphed H. E. Latham, United States marshal for Delaware, to return to the owners the arms aud ammunition found upon the tug Taurus, which was seized about September 1st near Wilmington, Del., for intended viola tion of the neutrality laws of the United States. Some thirty men were found on board, and the men and the tug were the subject of a trial at "Wil mington, and the men were acquitted and tho tug released. The arms and ammunition aboard have since been in tho custody of the United States mar shal. The action of the attorney gen eral closes the incident. Mora Has His Money at Last. After more than a score of years waiting, Antoinio Maxima Mora re ceived Friday tkifough representatives payment for the ^confiscation of his Cuban estate. Dr. ThvAjmyment Rodr^Lmoj was made directly to and Crarn mond in the Kennedy,attoro^yffcor form of chegfk s*ned Mr.Moro, by Mr. a Olney, drawn on tide aesldant treasu rer of the United/States ef New York. The amount of /the checll was $594,- 809.76, which represents ^jtr. ^ Mora’s interest in t e indemnity.^ assign* e * tik °* '»d from Spain, minu CC his 1011 8 cent to Dr. Rodriguez aud Mr. Na thaniel Paige, his F /ncipal legal rep resentatives, and iiinor assignments made to other pej^> ns - ,Favorj.. -he Canal Project. It is understood iu Washington that the report of the engineer commission, which visited Nioaragua last summer, will favor the construction of an in ter-oceanic canal, but that it will not recommend the entire rente already surveyed and upon which it j a claimed that work costing in the aggregate several millions of dollars has been performed. It is also believed that the commissioners will fix the cost of the canal at much greater sum than that estimated by the Maritime Canal Company, whose charter it is propos ed that the government shall purchase. It is expected that the commissioners’ report will claim that tho waterway cannot be built and the harbors on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts be placed in proper condition for a sum much lesB than $100,000,000. ' Carlisle to Speak. Secretary Carlisle has accepted an invitation to attend the annual dinner of the New York chamber of commerce November 18th next. Mr. Carlisle will deliver the principal address. It will be on the administration’s financial policy. He declined to accept an in vitation to deliver an address at the Tammany hall ratification meeting in New York, October 2‘id, as on that day he would be en route with the presi dent to declined the Atlanta 'exposition. invitation He has also an to ad dress the labor union organizations at Chicago, Ill., on Decemh er 10th, on the subject of sound money 1 Mr. Car , lisle states that about that time con gress will assemble aud his presence in Washington will be necessary. He in timates that he may find an opportu nity to deliver an address before the labor organizations of Chicago on the subject. Morgan Line Steamships Withdrawn. The state department lias received from B. B. Seal, United States consu lar agent at Bluefields, Nicaragua, a report relative to the withdrawal of the Morgan Line steamships from that port which shows that file Morgan company was not satisfied with its treatment by the Nicaraguan govern ment. Mr. Seal learned from the agent of the company at Bine fields that after ihe company had rendered a prompt steam . ser vice between Bluefields and New Or leans for eight years, ind after having contributed so liberally to the develop ment of trade and improvement of the country, the government of Nicaragua had manifested a want of appreciation of its efforts, and that in view of the company’s losses on fruit during the past year, the company thought it best to withdraw its ships and seek Bervice where it can secure greater encouragement and have tbo prospect of adequate remuneration for service rendered. THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION. What It Costs to See It and the Con veniences and Cheap Prices Offered to Visitors. An erroneous idea is abroad to the effect that it costs a great deal to see the exposition. This is a mistake. You can see the exposition itself for fifty cents if you are over twelve years of age, or for twenty-five cents if you are under twelve. There is absolutely no charge to enter any of the exposi tion buiidiDgs. Various shows on the Midway Heights will charge you from ten cents to twenty-five cents admission, but that is a sepa rate matter and does not be long to tho exposition company. It is simply extra fun, of which you can take on as much or as little a3 you please. Stories to the effect that water cannot be had on the exposition grounds are absolutely uhtrue. Water has been placed at various points a) aloug the avenues, and cups have bee* chained to the founts, so that all vi* tors may drink as much water, andas often as they please, free of chage. If you ure hungry and want a lght lunch, you can get a hot roast oeef sandwich, as fine as you ever Wted, for ten cents, and you can get agless of Jersey milk, us fine as yor ever drank, for five cents. If you ce fas tidious, you can go to the restfurants and pay for your dinner an where from twenty-five cents up, acording to what you order. > The restaurants keep all plan dish es, and also high priced ones. A a pop ular lunch Btand you can get httbuck wheat cakes, or hot pancaket maple syrup, for ten cents, ad a cup of coffee for five cents more. You can get a room in thefity for a dollar, or for seventy-five cede each where two persons occupy tie same room, and this, at one ot seveal good hotels just completed, and nth new furniture, all nicely kept. Stories about extortion ir Atlanta are ridiculously absurd, as aiy intel ligent person will discover when be visits the city. PLEADING FOR CUBANS. Sympathy Meeting Held at Wilming ton,.. Delaware. A representative gathering of 1,500 persons met at the court house at Wil TOlK vrton, Deb. Saturday evening, to expre.s. dred –pm patby for Cuba. One hun were on the stage, including prominent The busing following me n and politi ciftns. resolutions were adopted: “AVherens, Free mtizsrja of the state of Delaware, we are in ** ass meeting assembled for the purpose^ voicing our sympathy with the strung 0 f the people of the island of Cuba fbyinde pendence . and eelt-goyernmen “Whereas, The history of the pr^. ent and all former revolts of Cuba from the rule of Spain shows that the attempts of the Spanish government to retain its dominion of that island are marked by such cruelties and in humanities as are not by the laws of nations permitted or practiced in civ ilized warfare; now, therefore, be it “Resolved, That we extend to the Cubans now in revolt our full and sin cere sympathy with their present con test for political freedom. That as free citizens of a free country, in ex ercise of our right of petition and in the name of humanity, we respectful ly ask our national government, as soon as it is consistent with interna tional obligation, to recognize the Cu ban revolutionists as belligerents, to the end that a recognized status of belligerency may appeal to the com mon judgment of the civilized world for a mitigation of the merciless char acter of the warfare waged against them. ” SOUTHERN cotton men Invlted to the Meetingof New England Cotton Men at the Exposition. Southern cotton manufacturers have been invited to attend the sessions of the New England cotton manufactur ers next week. The following letter has been addressed to them: “Boston, Mass., Oct. 14th, 1895.— To the Southern Cotton Manufactur era. Gentlemen: The fifty-ninth meeting of this association will be held in the auditorium on the grounds of the cotton exposition, Atlanta, on Thursday and Friday, October 24th and 25th. “You are cordially invited to attend tho sessions and participate in the dis cussions, trusting that such an a filia tion will be of mutual benefit td all interested in the cotton production and manufacture.

STAHLMAN’S SUCCESSOR As Comiaissloner of Southern States Freight Association. A Nuv York special says: Tho ood ventifn of Southern Railway and Steanship lines, which lias been going on a* Hotel Waldorf since Tuesday, has iually resulted iu which an agreement betveen theso lines, are mom beis of the old Southern Railway and gpam^hip association, and several o'hesr important lines that were not members and whose absence from that issociation has materially weakened its operation. The last of the necessary signatures were obtained late Thursday afternoon and the Southern States Freight Asso ciation was organized Friday by the election of Colonel H. S. Haines, for merly the vice president of the Plant System, as commissioner, E. B. Stahl mau having positively declined to al low bio name to be put in nomination. The association contract takes effect on October 21. The prospect for maintenance o.f rates and the revenue G f ^ be Southern railway line is said to be better thau-it has been for years. Colonel Haines, who succeeds Com missioner Stahlman,is one of the most prominent railroad men in the south and has been prominently mentioned as commissioner since it was known that ]\f a j or Stahlman would decline to have b j 8 Dame g 0 before the convention for re-election. His home is in Savannah. TRADE TOPICS. ;___ Bradstreet’s Review of Business for the Pa8t week. Bradstreet’s review of trade for the past week says: “There is less push to the general commercial movement this week indi cated as much by reports from western jobbers and others, whose travelers i have returned from trips west and , northwest. There are, of course, note- • worthy exceptions, Baltimore mer thants finding relatively most satisfac tory trade. This is largely due to the remarkably favorable conditions at the C r.„th Tr> rrenprnl the vnlnmp of Vmsi ness appears slightly smaller this week, but with a widespread, although some what irregular demand “The total business failures through out the United States this week week? aggre gate 229, as against 274 last 253 in the like week one year ago, 340 and 216 for the same weeks in 1893 and 1892. At the west business failures practically doubled this week as com pared with last. “Favorable trade reports from the south continue to specify continued increases of wholesale and retail de mand, with cotton moving freely. Collections ai c improving and mer chants anticipating indebtedness in some instances. Bank clearings con tinue to increase. “The increasing cotton movement and speculation is probably responsi ble for the large gain at New Orleans, 55 per cent; Baltimore, 28 per cent, and Savannah 19 per cent. Among other large gains is that of 27 per cent “uSSgwjL prices for staple, goods, are those for cotton and cotton which reflect im/nense speculation and good actual demand, growing out of belief m a short crop. Reports that New Orleans houses have tried to cor ner October delivery are said to be confirmed by strong support from tuat market. Wheat closes higher on a better export demand and continued dry weather, although spring wheat receipts are very large. Winter wheat brands of flour are scarce and higher. Corn is firmer ob restricted receipts.” BANKERS IN SESSION. Their TwentyFIrst Annual Conven tiot in Atlanta. The twenty-irst annual convention of the American Bankers’ Association was called to older at Atlanta Tuesday morning. The bankers carried through the published program as quickly and as thoroughly as they calculate the in terest on a short time note. They are business men and they conduct their proceedings in a manner befitting them. An address of welcome on behalf of the city by Mayor King; another one on behalf of the Georgia State Bank ers’ Association ; the response and an nual address of President Odell, of the National Association; and two addres ses on financial themes by ex-Gover nor W. R. Merriam, of Minnesota, and Mr. William H. Rhawn, of Philadel phia, completed the salient featurs of the first day’s session. Governor At. kinson was ill and could not be present. Mayor King included the state in his speech. Children Cremated. Mrs. Miner, living south of Magno lia, Ark., locked her two children, aged six and four years in a room while she went to a neighbor’s home. While gone the house caught fire and the children were cremated. The mother, it is thought, will lose her "■e A SHAM FIGHT Arranged to Test the Arkansas Law Against Pugilism. According to the opinion of the best legal talent, in Arkansas, there is nothing in the laws of the state bv which the contest between Corbett and Fitzsimmons can be prevented. The matter was submitted to two of the best lawyers in tho state and they have given their opinions. In order to clinch the matter and prevent any interference on the part cf the legal authorities, the oflieials of the Florida Athletic Clnb arranged tor a glove contest to take place at once. It is their purpose to have the contestants arrested and taken before Judge Duffie to determine the matter in tho courts. T he decision of Judge Duffie will probably be given out immediately. If he agrees with the opinions given by the lawyers, the fight cannot bo stopped. If he decides against the Athletic club an appeal will be taken to the supreme court. It is believed by those interested, however, that Judge Duffie will render a favorable decision. Will Call Out Troops, Brigadier General George P. Tay lor, of the Arkansas state guards of Forest City, reached little Bock Tues day morning, being summoned by the governor for consultation. He had been closeted with the governor all the morning end it is impossible to fore tell the result of their interview. The governor is planning for radical uction toward the prize fighting crowd now at Hot Springs, and it is said by those who ought to know, that if Corbett comes into the state the governor will execute the power vested in him by constitution and banish the entire mob row at Hot Springs, and warn others against coming into the state THE SALE CONFIRMED.

As Mr. White is treasurer of the com pauy, and his signature is necessary on a check to negotiate its payment at the bank, some interesting complica tions are looked for. Famous Trick Horse Killed. A freight wreck occurred at Water bury, Conn., when tw r o jmrts of a broken train came together. Ten cars, loaded with trotting horses, live stock and other exhibits from the Danbury fair were crushed and thrown down a forty-foot embankment.
