Especial Correspondence Of the Alexs. GAZETTE. ]
WASHING TON, D. c., March 30. 1888.
The impression is growing daily, said a
prominent republican who has been mem
Der of several national conventions Of his
party, to the GAZETTEs correspondent to-
day. that Blaine will yet be nominated.
Kansas shouts Ingalls,, but fairly goes hoarse
over Blaine. Sherman's backing Is such in
Ohio that Keller, ex Speaker, and Lawrence
OK -Comptroller, are turned down for tw o
unknown men, who may be for Blaine at
heart. Allison has Iowa Governor Ruck,
Wisconsin ex Gov. Alger, Michigan Indi-
ana wants ex Senator Ben. Harrison /; Hill
nois is divided between her favorite sons,
Senator Culom and Bob Lincoln, the son of
his father in New York Depew and His.
cock have each friends anxious for their ele-
walton, but the delegation will doubt
less be for Blaine. Don Cameron is
getting up Pennsylvania boom, main.
" intended to keep the delegation
from stampeding to Blaine and to help
Sherman, whose niece Don married. Phelps
has boomlet in New Jersey, mainly the
york of ex Senator Sewell, who wants to
get back to the Senate, which, by common
consent ia to 60 to Phelps, unless he can be
otherwise provided for; whilst Connecticut,
with her twelve votes, will be for Hawley,
with about the same show that there was
for the late ex-GoV. Jewell in 1876. So you
see it is Sherman against the field, with
Blaine the only man the convention can
stampede to. New Workers say Blaine can
carry that State, while Virginia would go
for the Plumed Knight with such rush
that Malone and his friends would have to
fall into line or be overborne by the ava.
lanche. Blaine grows daily in the North.
The rotten borroughs of the South may be
for Sherman, but what of it? They were
for Arthur? Did they nominate him?
Representative Taulhee, chairman of the
sub committee of the House Committee on
Claims, before whom the representatives of
the Mount Vernon Avenue Association ap.
peared yesterday, told the GAzETTE's cor.
respondent 20 day that he did not think the
sub committee would report favorably upon
the proposition that was made to them, and
that, he thought, the better plan would be
for the Association, of which he is friend,
to let the bill for the payment of the claim
stand, and to introduce new bill providing
for an appropriation of $4,000, to be ex-
pended, under the direction of the Secretary
of War, for the construction of the Avenue
through the government reservation at Ar.
linetop, but not until the construction of
the remaining part of the road has been pro-
yided for, either by the money from the Vir
pipia claim or otherwise. He says there is |
nothing in the attempt to Offset the claim |

Miss Fellows and Chaslta.

CHICAGO, Mar. 90.-A Times special from
Pierre, OAK, says: Your correspondent has
endeavored to gather ell the facts relative
to the reported marriage of Miss Cora Bale
Fellows to Chaska the Sioux Indian. To
that end dispatch was forwarded TO Fort
Bennett which is soma fifty miles short of
Swift Birds camp on the Cheyenne agency,
where Miss Fellows is in charge of the In
dian school, and where the marriage was
reported to have taken place, first on the
18th inst, and later on the oath. Tho reply
states that courier from the Reservation
who arrived at Fort Bennett, reports thu
marriage of the teacher and her Indian iov
er as having. occurred at Swift Birds camp
on the evening of the 24tb, the ceremony
having been performed By missionary of
the Episcopal church in the presence OF a
large number of Sioux braves and equaws
and few government attaches of the rcser-
vation. The reply further states that Chaska
is not full b.ooded Indian nor is he the
worthless vagabond that he has been paiut-
ed In the dispatches sent ont. Miss Fellows,
or rather Mrs Campbell, for the latter is
said to ba Chaaka's modern name, was high
~ ucensed when shown by the courier the
newspapers report of her intended marriage
containing reference to Chaska as n shiftless
Indian Of thievish pyocliyities. She told the
courier to inform any one who asked for in
formation that Chaska is man, not dude,
and far superior to the ssnsationaliats who
have been maliguing him. They are ask
ing no favor7, abe said, further than to be
allowed to conduct their affairs in their own
way. The marriage has been the all absorb
ing topic of discussion, the courier reports,
among the people of Fort SILLY, Bennett and
Cheyenne agency.

TIE KNIGHTS of labor attribute the failure
of the Reading Railroad strike to the protn'
erhood of locomotive engineers, and the
brotherhood of locomotive engineers attrio.
ute the failure of the Burlington Railroad
strike TO the knights of labor. Both are
right in part, but the real cause OF the faii-
ure in each case was the fact that this being
a free country, men out Unemployment have
the legal right to seek it wherever it can De
found. and that no man has legal right TO
nrevent another one from working on such
terms as he may be disposed to accept. Law
ia the only thing that protects labor in TINS
country; but demagogues have taught many
laborers to believe otherwise.

FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 80.

SINCE THE removal of the general Ounces
of the Richmond and Danvllle haiitoau
srs,a,, from Richmond to Washington inc
1eonla Of Richmond have been endeaVoring
to d,y;se plans for boycotting that line, ano
now threaten to withdraw the privileges
epioyed By that line in running us TRICKS
through the streets Of Richmond, which en-
sbles the railroad company to make q con-
psctjon 1T Richmond between it's line from
eontb Of Richmond and its York River line,
which takes 1t on to West Point, Va, where
deep water Ia had. The people OF Norfolk
appear upon the scene and in an editorial
in the Landmark of Sunday last, to be found
in 20 davis GAZETTE, offer cordial invita-
tion to the Danville system to make NOT
folk or Portsmouth its deep water terminus
Possessing by far the greatest advantages
Alexandria should not remain quiet, but
should be up and doing, for it now has the
best chance Of securing this location. here
we have all the water desired, with the
Potomac river taking us to the bay, ana the
wharfage and track room to be found mere
unlimited and unsurpassed. Thl5 is the
natural point for the northern terminus OF
the Danville system. 1t IS here that that
great system of twenty FIVE hundred miles,
extending through Virginia, both the Caro-
lnas and Georgia, with its connections
into Tennessee, Alabama aud Mississippi,
connects with both the Pennsylvania
and Baltimore aud Ohio systems, which are
the trunk lines to and from the eastern and
western markets, and with which systems
the Danylle liue has large Interchange OF
traffic. which must greatly increase as its
business develops. Then again it ia the
aim and interest of all transportation lines
to secure the longest possible haul over its
own line oa eli traffic moving. BY making
Alexandria It's deep water terminus this
would be had TO greater extent than by
taking any other point, aud ii properly pre-
sented this would be very strong induce
ment for selecting Alexandria. We OBJ
served that during the last season the for
eien shipments Of cotton from West Point,
all of which reached that point over the
Danville system, required not less than fl
teen ships to move the same. The water is
as deep at Alexandria as ct West Point and
our river front is mora desirable. In the
Potomac river We have no COM
pulsory pilotage, which would be anoth.
or advantage in sesking Alexandria.
The machine and car shops of this system
give employment to seven hundred or more
men whose monthly wages amount to thirty
or forty thousand dollars. AT Alexandria
can be found all the land required for
these shops. If we can induce these inter-
ests to make this their deep water terminus
we will reap great acd lasting advantages
thereby-the number of operatives that will
bs brought here, the regular expenditure
of large amounts for supplies and labor and
the Increased business on our streets and
wbarves. By all means let Alexandria SEQ
that her claims are properly and strongly
presented, and that without delay, and We
have good reason for believing that we shall
not be unsuccessful.

FROM THE paragraph 10 the GAzETTE's
Washington correspondence of yesterday,
relative to the Mt Vernon Avenue, it would
seem that surer and quicker way to OBJ
tain national aid for the construction Of that
avenue, would be to have bill introduced
in Congress for the appropriation of spe-
ci6c sum of money for that purpose, without
any reference whatever to She claims OF
Virginia against the government, rather
than the way that has been adopted. While
the Virginia claim is just, and should be
paid, of the four hundred Congressman, it is
not too much to suppose that some of them
will object to il, while it may be that none will
oppose bill authorizing the Secretary of
War to have road made f:on the National
Capital to the Tomb of the Father of his
Country
