Correspondence of the Alexandria Gszette.l

here to-day. He says his county, Tai
bot. is republican, but that he thinks
it will 90 democratic this year. He
says as the day of election approaches,
the democratic prospect becomes more
favorable, and that he is confident the
d .mocratic State ticket will have at
least fifteen thousand majority, and that

The settlers in Jackson's Hole, Mont,
who deliberately murdered number
of Banaock Indians, now stand in fair
way to be brought to trial and convic-
ton. The long delay of the govern
ment in accomplishing the arrest of the
murderers of these peaceful Indians has
been the subject of more or less adverse
criticism. Within the past few years
the borders about the Bannock In
dian reservation, as on all frontiers OF
civilization, have become infested with
rough element of the community, who,
In Montana, taking advantage of the
States construction of the game laws,
have sought opportunity to become IN
yolyed in troubles with the Indians. In
pursuit of this object, they invaded the
Bannock reservation after game and
when expelled by the government au-
thorities as having no rights on the res.
ervation and as usurping the rights of
the Indians, they then sought open con-
flict with the Bannocks, alleging that
the Indians were violating the game
laws of the State of Montana in hunt
ing during the prohibited season. At
torney General Harmon has directed
the q. s. District Attorney for the dis
trict of Montana to proceed in the
matter. The q. S. marshal has made
the arrests under indictments found.
A special board of naval officers will
be appointed to consider the case OF
Commander Nicoll Ludlow, q. S. N,
whom President Cleveland has declin-
ed to promote to the gaade of captain
after an examining board had certified
that he was physically, mentally and
morally qualified for advancement.
1t is said at the Office of the Southern
Railway Company here to-day, that
there is no truth in the report that that
company is to move the whole or any
part its machine shops from Manches-
ter to Alexandria, and that whether
the company shall use its recently
purchased property just outside the
corporation lines of Alexandria for
track room or for extending and en-
larging It's plant at that city, that pur-
chsse viii have no effect whatever upon
its plant at Manchester.
1t is said at the Treasury to-day
that Secretary Carlisle will not go
home to vote the democratic ticket in
bis State next week. The Kentucky
democrats are in as much danger this,
as those of New York were last year,
and as the President is as much oppos-
Ell to his party in the former State now.
as he was to those of his own year ago,
he nor any of his subordinates will turn
a hand in support of the democratic
ticket there, as was the case with them
in New York last fall.
Frederick A. Cushman, steward of the
Elsmere Hotel in this city, either

ton gathered in Washington today,
preparatoryto leaving tomorrow morn
ing for week at the Atlanta Exposi-

At the Office Of the Mt. Vernon Elec-
trio Railroad here it is said the report
started by a newspaper of this city
about some difficulty that company has
in obtaining wharf property at Washing
ton is ridiculous, as the company has
no use for either boats or wharves. Its
cars will cross the river by the Long
Bridge, aud on the present tracks ofthe
Pennsylvania railroad, and, what is of
more interest to Alexandria, will do SO,
if The weather shall continue favorable,
by Christmas.
PAX Yong Kiu, the Korean charge d.
affairs, has advices from his government
tending to confirm the cabled announce
ment from Seoul that a prince OF the
royal blood may come 10 America as
minister. He says that the Kings
second son, who is young man of re-
markable intelligence, has been an
xious for several years to come to this
country end few months ago his wish
Was on the point of being gratifed.
The prince is about Is years old and
through constant association with the
American advisers of the government
in past years, has obtained fair know
ledge of the English language and an
admiration for Western methods
aud people. If he comes to Washing
ton he will probably be accompanied
by suite commensurate with his rank
and with extraordinary credentials as
special representative of the King.
