THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

The Eads Ship Raflway-A Favorable Report From the Committee-StanIey Matthe eyvs to be COnfirmed-Last Years Exports and Imports-Other Matters. WASHINGTON Jan. 3O.-There is but little doubt now that Captain Eads will obtain favorable report upon his bill with certain amendments from the Committee on Inter- oceanic Canals. The committee will proba- ply revuire the ships with which the test of the proposed new road is to be made to be 4, 900 tons instead of 2,OO0 tons burden, and will reduce the limit of time upon which the government is to guarantee the payment of interest on $50, ,OOO, 900 of stock from 30 to 15 years If the bill is finally reported favor ably in this form it will be by a very small majority of the committee. It is unlikely, however, that bill to incorporate Captain Eads' company or any other interoceanic canal company can be passed before the 4th of March. If anything is done upon the subject of canal at all it will probably be to pass the resolution affirming the Monroe doc Urine in it's fullest sense, which is now being prepared by the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
 It is understood that there will be no ob- jection to the confirmation of Hon. Stanley Matthews to be associate justice of the Su- preme Court. His confirmation will proba- bly, be made at the first executive session this week.
 Senator Eaton called the Committee of Foreign Relations yesterday to consider the Chinese treaties. No conclusions were reached, though the brief discussion devel- oped considerable diversity of opinion. An early adjournment was caused by the meeting of the Democratic caucus. It is the inten- tion of Senator Eaton to call another meet ing for the same subject next week, but mem- bers of the committee express the opinion that action upon the treaties is likely to be delayed until the special session of the Sen ate.
 The chief of the bureau of statistics, in his sixth monthly statement for the current fiscal year of the imports and exports of the United States, reports that the excess of ex- ports of merchandise stated in specie values was as follows:

Death From Attempted Aborti,

Death From Attempted Abortion.
 BOSTON, Jan. 3O-The local community is agitated over suspicious circumstances at tending the sudden death on January 29 of Mrs. Almanir E. Wright, who has not lived lately with her husband, though married twenty years ago. She was native of Mid dleboro and sister of the wife of 8 popular hotel keeper at Bridgewater. She has been housekeeper for John W. Curtis since the death of his wife in 1875. He is fifty years old, modest appearing and until four years ago deacon in the First Congregational church, but at that time dropped owing to scandal caused by his relations with Mrs. Wright. The certificate of death states the cause peritonitis, but autopsy of the body finds death by blood poisoning, the re- suit of criminal abortion. Dr. George F. Freeman, the physician called four days be- fore her death, and Dr. J. c. Swan, called later in consultation, tell freely corroborative stories, and the officers are yet unable to 10 cate the person who performed the criminal act. Curtis denied all knowledge of the af- fair, but left town Friday and has not re- turned. Monroe, brother in-law of the dead woman, tried to hush the matter with strong inducements, but could not, though the facts have been withheld to Assist the law in ferreting out the criminal.

Hurt by & Railroad Accident

M1DDLEBURa, Jan. 3O.-An accident on the Sudbury and Lewistown railroad near this place was caused by broken rail, by which the train was run off the track.
