own during sucn period OF depression
is to be congratulated. Alexandria be
ing in this category, her merchants
and business men should take courage
and increase their endeayors to ad-
vance the material interests of the city.
The recent organization of the Bust
ness Mems League, it is hoped, will do
much in this direction, for with united
action much good can be accomplished.
This league Is composed of some of the
most active and enterprising men in
Alexandria, men who have done much
to push the trade of the city and to en-
tar into direct competition with cities
o. much greater preteniions, and that
they have succeeded is attested by the
large and fourishing business estab-
lishments, of which they are heads
establishments of which any city might
feel proud. These men. it NAV be re.
lied upon, will not let Alexandria lose
any trade if their efforts can prevent,
but on the contrary they will con-
tinue to use every endeavor to expand
and increase the business of the city.
Three things have assisted in lesson
ing the business done in heavy goods
in the provision line, viz: The regent
building within radius of one hum
bred miles of this city of a large mum.
Der of Touring mills has prevented
much grail from being sent here, as
these mills pow consume mich of the
grain grown in their respective neigh
horhoods and supply those thereabout
with -four, &c, which was formerly
purchased in Alexandria. This, Of
course, has cnrtailed the purchase
by Alexandria merchants of western
-four, which for number of years has
been shipped to this market in large
quantities. During the year large

Vast Railroad Property Bid in by
Edward King for the New
Company.
IT is SOLD FOR SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS

System Observation-Disclosures
Temporarily in Charge.

Topeka, Kas., Dec. 1O.-A large crow
assembled at 10 O'Clock this morning a
the Topeka station of the Atchison, To
peka u Santa Fe Railway company Il
witness the sale Of the big road, whicl
was to 60 for about $65, 100000.
It was soon determined that the officia
notice Of the sale said O'Clock not II
o'clock.
The bidding this afternoon will b.
done by Edward King, of New York, who
with G. G. Beman and Victor Morswetz
of New York, was appointed rs the pur
chasing committee by the reorganization
committee. All are here.
1t is ex pected that there will be no op
posing bid and that the offer made te
Special Master Johnson will be nomina
one of $4,000. The securities, some
$150,000,O0O, are practically all in the
hands of the reorganization committee
The new charter is ready and will be
fled with the secretary of state to-mof
row. It IS exactly the same as the old
one except that the name is changed
from "Railroad" to Railway"
SALE oH THE SANTA rE SYSTEM.
At FIVE minutes past O'Clock this
afternoon, SPECIAL Master in Chancery j
B. Johnson, bare-headed, mounted the
stone steps at the Topeka station of the
Atchison, Topeka g. Santa Fe Railroad
company and announced that he would
offer the great railroad property for sale.
A large crowd covered the platform and
tracks.
Johnson said that, owing to the failure
of the railroad company to pay $14O,00O,-
600 within certain twenty days last fall,
the United States court had issued de-
cree ordering the sale of the property.
He then proceeced to read the lengthy
decree. Before he completed the reading,
his voise weakened and he called on Col.
Rossington, one Of the attorneys for the
Union Trust company, to finish the de-
cree.
OBJECTIONS TO THE SALE.
Following this, Peabody, Dodge and
other holders of certain consolidated
bonds of the st. Louis d San Francisco,
gave notice in lenghthy petition that
$2,000,O0O of these bonds had been
fraudulently obtained, and we're a first
lien on the property.
Other objections we're raised by the at
torneys for the Chicago, Santa Fe Il Cali.
fornia bondholders.
"Nothing will prevent the sale to-day"
said prominent Santa Fe counsellor,
as he stood impatiently on the plat
form.
The sale will be contaminated immedi-
ately and the property turned over to the
new company by tonight or tomorrow,
but the road will formally remain under
the receivers management till the end of
the month to avoid complicating ac-
counts.
The court has already disposed of these
OBJ bjections and wiped them out of the
way as far as to'day's sale is concerned.
Did IN BY EDWARD KING.
The road was finally sold for $6O,OOO,O00
to Edward King, representing the new
His was the only bid and the
master declared the property sold.

WASHINGTON BUDGET.
Both Houses Of Congress in Session
Efforts TO lmpeach Bayard-Land
COur AppOintments-Sta

Washington, Dec. 10.-The senate to.
day adopted the joint resolution offered
by Senator Jones, of Arkansas, authorlz-
ing the secretary of the interior to sus.
pend the removal of the intruders from
the Cherokee country until there shall be
an appraisal of the value of the improve.
ments made by them.
Senator Cullum, Republican, of Ilh-
nois, then addressed the senate in sup
port of the Monroe doctrine. He said
"This nation has played at diplomacy
long enough and without much effect
Great Britain has been disregarding our
polite requests, protests and arguments,
and if let alone will finally dominate
Venezuela"
In closing, he declared emphatically
"Our policy is an American policy, our
doctrine is the protection of American
interests and our motto is America fol-
Americans"
LIVELY DAY IN THE HOUSE.
Soon after the house assembled to-day
Representative Mccall, Republican, oi
Massachusetts, offered resolution calling
on the president to report to the house
whether he had taken any stsps to ascer
tain If the reports of the speeches of Am.
bassador Bayard, delivered in Engl an6
and Scotland, we're true, and, If true, what
steps, if any, had been taken to recall OIL
censure Mr.. Bayard.
Mr. McOreary, Democrat, of Kentucky
immediately OBJ jected.
Mr.. McCall's collegue, Mr.. Barrett, oi
Massachusetts, came.forward to question
of privilege, sending to the clerks desh
to be read resolution for the i'm peach
mont of Bsyard.
The resolution complained both oi
Bayard's strictures on Americas protec
tive system and his reference to the Unit
cd States needing real man, like Cleve
land, to govern sstrong, self-confident
and often times violent people"
DEMAND FoR BAYARD's IMPEACHMENT.
Mr.. Barrett's resolution dee Jared tina,
these utterances were in manifest disre.
gard Of the proprieties and calculated to
injure our national reputation, and di
rscted the foreign affairs committee to
examine the utterances in that speech and
draft and report articles of impeachment
to the house.
Mr.. Crisp. Of Georgia, objected to the
Barrett resolution, as not privileged, but
Speaker Reed overruled him, and Mr.
Barrett made brief speech declaring
that Mr.. Bayard sought to aggradise his
party at the expense Of his country, and
citing the ssnate's action in Van Buren'l
case 40 justifying his resolution.
CRISP RxpL1Es TO BARRETT.
Mr.. Crisp followed Barrett, defending
Mr.. Bayard, accusing the Republicans Of
simply wiahing TO air their protective
theories and dsfying them to pass an.
other tariff bill.

HIGHER DUTIES ASK ED.
After Long Wrangle the National
Wool Growers Finally shape
Up their Petition.

Washington, Dec. lO.-The memoir
ial adopted by the national wool growers
convention, praying relief for the wool
growing industry, was presented in the
house yesterday. 1t was drafted by Judge
Lawrence, of Ohio, and committee, but
is materially modified in form, the orig
inal having created much discussion in
the convention.
The memorial states that since the Nc
Kinley act of 1890 was passed the prices
Of wool have declined in the markets Of
the world some per cent, and that this
created the necessity for protective duties
which did not exist even when the Nc
Kinley act was passed. II asserts that
this act was intended to give duty of II
cents per pound on unwashed merino
wool, double on washed and triple on
secured; that the wool manufacturers
succeeded in getting incorporated in the
act of 1890 provision known as the
'skirting clause" which, with the shrink
age in the securing of Australian woods,
practically defes the protective purpose
of the act of 1890 SO that the provisional
duty of IL cents per pound is only equiv
alent to cents on Ohio washed merino
in competition with Australian wool, aud
that the duty of the act of 1890 Of SO
cents on secured, per pound, on merino
wool affords a practical protection of
only 1870 per pound. Also that China
wool, which competes with merino wool
and wool of the mutton breeds, was i'm
ported during the last fiscal year to the
amount of 26,00000 pounds, at an i'm
port price of a little over cents per
pound.
This is said to be a new source of supply
of foreign wool since the Mckinley act
was passed and American wool growers
can not compete with that wool under the
present rate of duty. The memorial
therefore asks for duty on merino woods
and woods Of the mutton breeds of sheep
Of ~ cents per pound on unwashed, dou-
BILE on washed and triple on secured, thus
making but one class of these two kinds
of wool. 1t asks.for duty of cents
per pound on third-class woods without
reference to valuation.
It declares that these rates of duty are
absolutely necessary to save the Amer
icsn wool industry from ruin. The me-
mortal says that with 100 majority in the
house of representatives in favor of pro-
tectlon it can not escape the duty of
speedily giving consideration to the SUBJ
ject and quotes the paragraph of Presi-
dent Cleveland's message, in which he
says he is ready to cooperate with con-
gress in providing measure of relief
for the treasury.
Sixteen states were represented in the
association. The memorial is signed by
William. Lawrence, president; Frank r.
Bennett, of the Boston Wool and Cotton
Reporter; A. E. Shepard, Texas; Alvin
Mowgill, Indiana; T. B. Catron, New Mex
loo; B. L. Crouch, Texas; NJ. e. Greeley,
South Dakota; Joseph Tweedy, Texas; J.
R. Dodged and w. T. Widder, of Colo
RADIO. These gentlemen compose the
committee which will look after the men,
orial in congress.
