Roosevelt and Packard They claim that the

make terms with these men. The independent Or

Alexandra Affairs,
Reported for THE EVENING STAR

THE CANAL STOCK CAsR.-The United States cir
cult court, Judge Hughes, held session here yes
terday, when motion was argued to compel the
city OF Alexandria to pay money value for the
shares OF Alexandria Canal stock which were not
transferred to the United states under the decree
made in october, 1882. The total stock which the
United States claimed at the time 1850 shares
and the court sustained the claim. But Alexandria
had In 1S4 transferred 20 shares to the state of
virginia. so that only $3.50 shares remained I'm its
possession. This was transferred to the United
States on the 10th OF November, 1882 and the court
decreed that for the shares not delivered the United
States was 'ent1tled to compensation and damage.
SO the matter has remained A suit was brought
to compel the board Of public works OF Virginia to
transfer these 220 shares to the United States but
last February Judge Hughes dismissed the bill.
The present suit is to fix the compensation or
damage" which the United States is entitled TO
receive from the city OF Alexandria. The stock OF
the canal has, for the third OF a century, had no
market, and been considered OF merely nominal
value. After hearing the argument the court
reserved its decision.
