    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

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 manufacturers have

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

“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

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
