WILL BE NO COURT-MARTIAL.
The Trouble Between Rear Admiral
ellis and Capt Reed

The acting Secretary Of the Navy late Satur-
day afternoon promulgated the order of the
department in relation to the recent investiga-
ton Of affairs on board the U.S.S. Richmond
by a court Of inquiry which convened July Z.
The proceedings and findings Of the court
were approved. The case was one Of charge
and counter charge between Rear Admiral
James II. Gillis, lately in command of the
South Atlantic station, and Capt Allen V.
Reed, commanding the flag ship Richmond.
Except as to two or three matters Of minor i'm
portance, but one of the numerous allegations
and complaints made by Rear Admiral ellis
against Capt. Reed was found by the court to
be sustained by the evidence, namely, that
certain language used by Capt. Reed in n
letter addressed to the Secretary Of the
Navy was dis=espectfu to Rear Admira ellis.
The court also found the several allegations and
complaints against Rear Admiral ellis is sus-
tanned substantially as made by Capt. Reed. In
its findings the court expressed the opinion that
further proceedings should be had in the case of
Rear Admiral Gillis, but not against Capt. Reed.
The department concurred in the opinion of
the court that the facts ascertained would war;
rant the further proceedings recommended,
but in consideration of Rear Admiral ellis
long and faithful service in the navy, together
with the fact that in pursuance OF existing law
his active service must within period of three
years be terminated by his transfer to the re-
tired list and believing that the interest of the
service will not be injuriously affected by dis
posing of his case otherwise than by reference
to a court martial. has decided not to refer the
case to a oourt-martlal.

HAYTI INvADEs SAN DOMINGO.
War to Wipe Out a Bad Bargain and
Pay o Big Debt

special cable to the New York Herald from
the city OF Santo Domingo via Havana says: I'm
formation has reached this capital that on the
night OF August 20 about 800 Haytian troops,
stationed near the frontier Of the Dominican
republic, invaded the territory Of this country.
The Dominican government at once dispatched
an armed force to drive out the intruders. The
Dominican troops were successful and repulsed
the enemy, killing twenty-three men and
wounding number Of others. The Domini-
cans had but four soldiers injured. Great in
dignation is felt here at Hayti's action in this
invasion of Dominican soil, and the Dominican
cabinet has been called together by President
Ulise Huerreaux to consider the advisability
OF declaring war against Hayti
president Huerreaux said today that the real
cause Of the trouble was that in 1875 and 1876
treaty for commercial purposes was entered
into between the Haytian and Dominican gov
ernments, which at the same time defined the
boundaries Of the two countries. A special
stipulation OF this treaty was that Hayti was to
make use OF q portion of Dominican territory,
which sho needed and which SantoD Domingo gov
eminent was to allow to be so used on condition
that Hayti hould pay annually to the Dominican
Sl5oOoo as long as she retained possession Of
the loaned territory. Hayti was, moreover, to
permit all imports from Santo Domingo to
enter into Hayti free Of duty. Hayt has not
paid the Sl5O, 900 for q number of years and
now owes something over $4,000, 900.
'Hayti. however, alleges that there is 80 much
rum imported from Santo Domingo that the
Haytian revenues are greatly suffering. Hayti
wishes to make an end of her bargain and at
the same time retain possession of the loaned
land"
Seniors Francisco Leonte vasquez and Man
uel De ]. Galvan, the consul general and con-
sui, respectively, of the Dominican govern
ment in New York, state that they have received
no official intimation from their government
that any outbreak or invasion had occurred on
the island They knew that there was some
sort OF trouble brewing between Hayti and
Santo Domingo, but they could not say to what
extent 1t had developed They had also heard
1t said that private advices had been received
by persons here that there had been disturb
ance between the two countries, but they had
learned none of the particulars

AMERICAN CAPITAL In JAMAICA
A Syndicate to Undertake the Construc.
ton Of a Railroad Line.

A dispatch lately sent out from New York in
regard to the railroad franchises granted an
American syndicate in the island of Jamaica is
only correct in the general facts and erroneous
In detail. The principals in this company and
the only persons whose names appear are
Frederick Wesson of New York, an extensive
South and Central American merchant E. L..
Frank of New York. wealthy dealer in rail-
road securities and largely interested in the
Milwaukee and st. Paul, and J. C. Easton of La
Crosse. Wis, formerly in the Milwaukee and
st. Paul directory. The first step was to pur-
chase the piece Of road already built by the
government, sixty-fve miles in length. A
proposition was submitted to the vote of the
people and carried by large majority 1t
transferred all constructed road, surveys and
privileges to the new company for %, 800. 900.
Il 900. 900 cash and the balance in income bonds
The syndicate is required to complete the
road from Kingston to Montago with branch
from Spanishtown to Port Antonio, 1856 miles
IN twelve years, which would require the con-
struction of twelve and one-half miles per year,
there being already sixty-fve miles built.
The government granted one square mile of
land for every mile OF road, provided so much
public land yet remained ON the island. A
thorough survey showed enough land. incud-
ing sterile tracks. land reverting for unpaid
taxes and the inaccessible volcanic region
known as the cockpit, to complete the grant.
Some of this land is valuable when the road
makes it accessible. while some may have
wealth beneath the surface, but the lands are
not largely reckoned on in the transaction 1t
is the traffic of the railroad that is to remuner-
ate the syndicate Tor an investment which will
probably reach $40. 600, 900. r. B. Campbell.
formerly superintendent Of the Council Bluffs
division OF the Milwaukee and st. Paul, is gen.
eral manager, and his associates are largely
American.

Richmond, Va, special to the Philadelphia
Press says: The conclusion of the negotiations
for the investment by an English syndicate of
about 81, 100000 in the new village of Glasgow,
Rockbridge county, this state, it is believed,
will give powerful impetus to industrial de-
velopment in Virginia Glasgow is the seat of the
Rockbrdge Manufacturing Company, of which
ex-Gov. Fitzhugh Lee is the president and the
leading spirit. Hon. r. A. Anderson one of
the directors Of this company, is now in Lon
don, where he has been for some little time
comforting with capitalists who have concluded
to invest their money in furnaces and other
iron plants in and about Glasgow This in
vestment will mean not only the placing of the
Sl,5OO,O 600 Of capital already arranged for but
Is expected to result i'll inducing other English
and foreign capitalists to place large amounts
IN Virginia industrial enterprises. The visit to
this country in the early fall of large number
OF distinguished English manufacturers, me tai
Iurgists and mining engineers, under the au-
spices OF Mr.. Carnegie, is also expected to re-
suit advantageousy to this state. Gen. Lee
and others prominently identified with the in
dustrlal interests of this state will endeavor to
induce these visitors to include Virginia and
the other southern states in their tour of in
Spectlon.

A Murderer Caught at Last.

Sunbury, Pa. is much excited over the
arrest OF ''Scaldy" Brown, a noted highway
robber, who is wanted in Scranton for
the murder Of policeman. About eight
years ago Brown, together with Patrick
Lawless and Martin Lawless, waylaid an .old
man in Schuylkili county named Peter Mouse
anu demanded money. Upon his refusing to
give it up, one Of them shot him in the side,
and after knocking him senseless they took the
money and went to town. The others were
afterward captured and sent to isi' for sc ven
years, but Brown succeeded in eludire arrest.
In 1883 he turned up in Scranton, anc when a
policeman attempted to arrest him B-own drew
revolver from his pocket and shot the officer
dead. Notwithstanding the fact that the au-
thorities offered 300 reward for his capture,
he again made his escape. A few days ago the
fugitive made his appearance in Shamokin, and
while under the influence of liquor he COM
mitted an assault When taken before a Justice
Of the peace he was still intoxicated and at the
hearing his true identity WAS established. The
murderer WAS brought to Sunbury Jail, but it is
expected in a few days he will be handed over
to the Scranton authorities.

An Illinois Crop Report That Augurs
Disappointment.

An interesting crop summary has Just been Is
sued BY the Illinois state board Of agriculture.
II says that the hay area this year was O. 7o5 900
acres and the average yield one and half tons
an acre. The crop is valued at o., 800 900. The
faxsaed area 10 10000 acres and will Weld
10000 bushels. Broom corn is not as extern
siveiy raised in this state a. the demand justi-
mes. The bulk is grown in Douglas, Green,
lroquois, Menard and vermilion counties and
their condition Is good, but in other portions
OF the state the average yield indicates less
than three-fourths Of a crop. The prospect
for Irish potatoes has never been moro dis
couraging here. The continued drouth, COW
ering q period OF nearly three months, has
ruined the growing crop. with the most favor
able condition not more than a third Of a crop
can be expected. The yield for this state last
season was 10, 485. 900 bushels. Sweet potatoes
are doing fairly we'll and will yield three
fourths OF crop. In number Of counties
farmers are cutting up growing corn to feed
their cattle on account OF lack Of pasturage
The recent rains softened the ground for fall
blowing. but came too late to do much good to
the crops.

GOING TO CONGRESS.
Nominations and Rumors OF Nomina-
tions for the House.

State Senator Cammetto has been nomi-
mated by the democrats Of the second Califor-
mia district John H. Irish, editor of the San
Francisco, Cal, Alta, has been nominated by
the democrats of the third California district
Col. Halbert 8. Greenleaf has determined to
accept the democratic nomination for Congress
in the Rochester, NY, district if 1t is offered
him, and there is no question on that point
The gentlemen whose names have been most
prominently mentioned for the nomination are
Col. Greenleaf and Senator Donald McNaugh-
ton. These distinguished democrats met yes
terday. Col. Greenleaf said to Senator Nc
Naughton: Senator, 1 hope you will accept
the democratic nomination and promise to
do all in my power to help your election"
Colonel" replied the senator, Il do not
make it practice to decline that which is not
offered me, but will say to you that would
not accept the democratic nomination" Col
Greenleaf accordingly gave the consent his
friends have been seeking, and will oppose the
Hon. John Van Voorhis. Mr.. Grecnleaf is as
popular as Mr.. Van Voorhis is unpopular, and
the democrats confidently expect to gain the
district.
