COUNTY GRIEvANCEs.-Alexandr county
was carried in 1547. against the will of q
majority of its people, away from the District
OF Columbia INTO the state Of Virginia. The
vote for retrocession was 763 and against retro
cession 222; but as the town was almost unani-
mously in favor Of the change most Of the
negative votes were from the county. OF late
years the fact that the county of Alexandria
was in fact as much a suburb Of the capital as
Anacostis or Hillsdnle has always made con-
nection with the District popular 1t is now q
subject Of complaint that too much of the state
taxes raised In Alexandria county ID spent else
where, and that the high price of land caused
by proximity to Washington makes the land tax
Of the county especially disproportionate to the
land tax in other counties of the state. The
new assessment is intensifying this feeling and
many complaints are made.

The Colony Mostly Old Folks Living on
Mexican Beans and Corn BreaC.

San FRANCISCO, Jan. S.-The latest news from
the eommunistic colony at Topolobampo in
Sinaloa. Mexico, is brought by C. C. Remley,
who joined part7 from Kansas City last year.
They were induced to join the colony by repre-
sensations Of the ideal life which was to be en-
joyed on TOpolobampo bay. Remley took his
family and supplies sufficient for a two years
stay. He Remained four months, leaving last
November and coming up through Sonora
overland. narrowly escaping from the hands of
the Iaquis Indians. He Is now established in
Tulare county, Cal.
In a long letter describing his experience he
says that the colonists now number about

ment that they are hard TO live with. II these

their money III the general fund they can get
nothing back. All are paid for work in time
checks, which can't be cashed because the di-
rectors claim there are no funds. Remley SAYS
some OF the land owned by the colony is good.
but the colonists persist in planting eastern seed
and they have thus regularly lost their crops.
The regular diet of the cOIonists is black-eyed

HER COACH,IAN SHOT HER
a Young, Rich and Pretty Illinois Girl
Engaged In a Duel With a CoIored Man.

CHICAGO, Jan. s.-A Herald special from
Jacksonville, Ill, says: Miss Fannie Keener of
this city was shot and MORALLY wounded last
night on the street by Nathan Pasten. a colored
man. She returned the fire and wounded the
negro so badly that he will probably die. For
long time the affairs of Miss Keener, who is a
young, beautiful and wealthy white girl, and
Pssten her colored coachman, have been the
gossip Of the town Some time ago Pasten
went TO Iowa. and while he was there Miss
keener sent the negro a large amount of valua-
bic property. Miss Keener remained here
where she has been living with her brother.
IL was thought there would be nothing more
between Miss Keener and Pasten. but yesterday
morning the negro returned to Jacksonville
and at once proceeded to the home of Miss
heener, where he was met by Tom Keener,
who ordered the negro away. Pasten turned
TO go, but as he turned met Miss Keener and .
young man named Bancroft. Without warning
the negro drew a pistol and began shooting,
hrst at Bancroft, who was twice wounded and
then at Miss keener, who promptly returned
the IRE, both being wounded. Miss keener
was shot though the lungs and hips and is in a
arm and head. At this juncture Tom keener
and colored boy named James Brown took a
hand, clubbing Pasten, until disarmed by the
crowd of people drawn TO the spot. Pasten Is
In Jail. but terribly injured that il Is thought
he cannot recover. 1t was said that Miss Keener
could scarcely live through the night.

ANNEXATION SENTIMENT.
Dispatch from Washington that ha'
Made q Sensation in Canada.

A few years ago the Toronto Mail, the organ
OF the Dominion government, went back on
the conservative party and has since opposed
the government of Sir John Macdonald. Yes
terday the Toronto newspapers printed dis
patches from Washington which say that
Edward Farrar, editor-in-chief of that paper,
supplied the Hoar committee with information
tending to show that annexation sentiment was
growing in Canada and that annexation was
likely to be promoted by total want of action
in the direction of better relations between
the two countries. The Globe says:
''In our dispatches from Washington will be
found one of the most astounding disclosures
ever made in connection with Canadian poll
tics. The revelation is that the opponents of
unrestricted reciprocity have been propagat-
ing i'll Washington the opinion that annexation
will be soon sought by Canadians if unre-
stricted reciprocity be withheld. To this ne
farious device the enemies of Canada's liberal
party have resOrted in the hope Of inducing
Congress to defeat the Butterworth bill. That
bill proposes, not customs union but just such
q scheme of unrestricted reciprocity as is
favored by Sir Richard Cartwright and his
political associates We're it adopted by Con-
gress the offer OF an acceptable plan for CONT
mental free trade would be distinct, and no
Canadian party proposing to refuse the offer
could survive a general election. To balk the
ButterwOrth bill is therefore necessary to the
salvation Of Canadian restrictionism"
