STEAMER ASIA SAYS.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-A curious ru-
NOR was afoat this afternoon, which is
neither affirmed nor denied, at the Depart
ment Of Justice. 1t is that a bill has been
presented by 8 hotel keeper, who enter
tanned the Star Route Jury, for over $500,
and that part OF the charges were for SO
bottles of wine. The jurors have always
denied they had liquors of any sort. A
special agent OF the Department Of Justice
said to-day these bribery charges in the
Star Route case were the oldest he ever
knew. There were bushels Of afidavits on
which arrests ought to be based under
ordinary practice, yet no arrests were
made. He did not understand it.
Col. W. P. Canaday, one of the Coalition
candidates for Congress from North Caro-
lima, is in the city, and gives a hopeful
view of the Independents in his State.
He says that in his opinion they will get
five out of nine Congressman, including
the Congressman al large. He estimates
that $4,000 Democrats will support the
movement. He is also hopeful that the
Coalition party will have a majority OF
the Legislature, though the Senatorial
districts were rearranged under the last
census greatly to the advantage OF the
regular Democrats.
