1.-THE intelligence reported in
the dispatches to the United Press
of the 18th ulto.. as to the perse-
cution of French subjects residing
within the contested territory between
Brazil and French Guiana, is confirmed
by latest arrivals from Mnpa and Car

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Alexandra Gazette
WASHINGTON, Dec. so. |

w ASdlNtION, DtC. on.
One of the best-informed republicans
in the South, and q participant in all
the national conventions of that party
since the war, mas just returned here
from New York, where he spent some
ten days or more of time. He had in
tervieWs while there more or less con-
dental with Mr.. Platt and other lead
ers whom be found in that city. He
says the combination of the Eastern
leaders will centre around Reed and
Allison. If the latter's friends shall
find when the contest opens that they
are able to nominate Reed by joining
their votes to his, they will do SO; il
unable by such union of forces to do
this, an effort will then be made by all
the supporters of Reed to give the vic
tory to Allison. Mckinley, he states,
is giving to the managers of this move
ment great deal of uneasiness, and
they fear It will be difficult to beat him,
although they affect, of course. the
strongest confidence in the success
of their plans. In the Southern States
it is conceded, he says, that Mckinley
would prove far stronger candidate
for the Presidency than Reed. The
democratic party, he predicts, would
open a hot fire on the latter for his al
legged sectionalism, his unfairness in
election contests, his aggressive fight
for the Force bill, and his bitter parti-
sanry and strong political prejudices
in general. Mckinley, and also Ali
son, he believes, would be much more
acceptable to the democrats of the
South. The fight, he thinks, will be a
determined one and great deal of bad
blood flow out of it. The veteran
money bag" Gen. Alger, is again to
the front and, the informant declares,
is in the combination for Reed. His
cash has heretofore been found to
be of much service. 1t probably de.
feated Sherman at Chicago, but later
on was found 10 be useless in Mr..
Blaine's behalf at Minneapolis. 1t is
not supposed that all the ''coin" will
be represented on the Reed side.

Mr.. GoMPERs of the Federation OF
Labor is unquestionably wrong in many
of his ideas, but that he has got down
to rock ribbed truth on the Venezuela
question, is equally as certain, and that
he sees the very gist of that question,
is proved by his latest public expression
in respect of it, which is as follows:
Those who are stirring up this war
scare are covering themselves with
mask of patriotism behind which is
hidden nothing but buster and pom
posity. The true patriot is not looking
Tor war. He wants peace. The work
ers of our country have no quarrel with
the workers of other countries. In tn.
ranks of the sensible, cool-headed work.
ers and true American citizens you will
find this so called war scare has had NO
effect. Labor is never for war; it is al

ATTACKED BY His B1sHoP.-Great
excitement prevails among all classes
of people over the abusive language
used by Bishop Wingfeld. of the North
ern diocese of California, in criticising
Rev. G. G. Pierce, rector for thirty
years of the Episcopal Church in
Placerville, Cal. Bishop Wingield,
during the morning service yesterday,
called meeting of the yestry TO deter.
mine whether that was parish or
mission. Then pointing contemptuous-
ly to the rector, he said: 'If it is a
mission. we are going to put this man
out. He is not worthy of his posi-
tion.n He furthermore denounced Mr.
Pierce as an unmitigated liar.
The women comprising the congrega-
ton surrounded the rector within the
chancel, crying and attesting their al
legiance to him. Excited crowds
thronged the streets during the meet
ing, and threatened personal violence
upon the bishop should his threatened
removal of Mr.. Pierce be accomplished.

University of Virginia and the Fayer-
weather Bcquest--A Correction.
To the Editor of The Alexandria Gazette.
The efforts in behalf of its alumni
and friends to raise money for the re-
lief of the University OF Virginia since
the disastrous FIRE there of the 9th of
October are in danger of being chilled
by the newspaper report that $3.50, 900
have recently come to that institution
from the Fayerweather bequest, so long
in litigation. With this in view, and
because / felt sure that no such effect
should be produced by the report in
question, wrote to Prof. VIM. Minor
Lille. acting chairman of the faculty,
for information, and now beg leave to
submit the substance of his reply:
"Of the S250,000 referred to, the
University has already received $780,
900, $50, 900 of which has been spent in
the erection of the Fayerweather gym
nasium, construction of waterworks,
the other $4,000 being still
in hand. The remainder of the
SZoU,UOU mas Deen iu HtiSallou lor SON
eral years. In 1898 the trial court in
New York, Judge Truax presiding, de-
cided in our favor. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court and about
year ago this decision was affirmed.
From it an appeal was then taken TO
the Court of Appeals-the court of last
resort-where the case is still pending
and undecided.
"The recent press report of decision
in favor of the University refers to that
of year ago by the Supreme Court,
the fact that the opinion of this court
setting forth the reasons upon which
the decision was based has only
recently been filed giving rise to the
press report as to which you inquire.
The news therefore is ear old. The
case must go through the mill for an
other court before it can be determined
whether we are to receive anything,
and we can in no case get more than
$4,000"

The Bond Issue.

New YoYK. Dec. 30.-The usual rumors
about q bond issue were current asain friday,
but it is impossible to obtain anything of an
official character. The street now thinks. that
the President may ask for subscriptions for
500, OOO,OtO four per cents, after 8 o'clock
tomorrow. It also believes that contract
has been made with New York bankers for
purpose Of procuring the gold for which the
bonds are to be sold. Very little confidence
is placed in the popular loan theory and none
at all in the report current last week that
syndicate would take all the bonds left after
the closing of the popular subscription books.
In the meantime the picking up of gold con-
tinues and bullion brokers are obtaining
small premium for metal which is being tax
en- by bankers and others who are getting
ready for the new government loan.
