FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.l


WASHINGTON, Oct. 81.
General Merritt has approved the
findings of the court martial which
tried Captain Kirkman, Tenth Infan-
try, for conduct unbecoming an officer
and a gentleman, and case which has
attracted considerable attention in army
circles is terminated without the
necessity of action by the War Depart
ment. Capt. Kirkman was charged by
brother officer with breaking into
private apartments and court was
convened, with orders that its proceed
ings should be private on account of
possible scandalous developments. It
tr'nspired, however, that Capt. Kirk
mans vile and daughter were admit
ted to the sessions and General Merritt
dissolved the court and appointed
second one which has now found the
officer not guilty and acquitted him
Capt. Kirkman has, therefore, been re-.
leased from arrest and returned to duty

The seismograph at Weather Bu-
reau Headquarters recorded an earth
quake shock of at least 45 seconds dura-
ton here this morning commencing at

sufficiently elaborate to indicate the ex.

rection and makes no distinction be-
tween tremors in vertical and horizon

pert in charge. says there is no doubt
from the duration of the shocks as

NOTHING that is done in Alexandria
county seems to please the Washington
newspapers. Heretofore they have said
that justice in that county was too
slow; but now that negro convicted of
q brutal offense has been sentenced to
death, in accordance with flaw, in that
county, they say it is too fast. But
what Washington newspapers say has
little or no effect upon the intelligent
white citizens of Alexandria county,
all of whom are law abiding.

THE PRESIDENT has written letter,
in which he expresses his hope for the
success of the democratic State ticket
in New York, not the democratic tick
ct in New York City. The democrats
of Baltimore, while preferring to be-
treated like the rest of their party in
their State, would be content if the
President would write similar letter
in respect of their State ticket; and
why he doesn't, is what no good dem

about the burning of the negro rapist

the sheriff that it was bis duty to pro-

demanded of him an explanation es TO
why he did not do it. He further says
that having failed in enforcing the laws
in this instance, he trusts the sheriff

Col. CoRBIN's REPoRT.-Presiden
S. w. Corbin, of the State board of ag-
riculture, yesterday submitted his an
nual report to that body, which will be
presented to the Governor. In this
Mr.. Corhin addressed himself with
yigor to the discussion of the financial
and tariff questions, These parts of
the report, the board, however, elimi-
nated, as they did not consider the po-
litical questions proper subjects to be
discussed in the report. Among the
parts of Col. Corbin's report stricken
out by the board were these utterances:
"No agricultural venture can show a
profit if conducted on borrowed capital
at per centum annually. This is the
rate the average farmer has to pay
when he borrows money. Accumu-
lated capital must accept lower rates of
interest, dividends must lessen their
demands, or all of the profit in the pro-
duction of new wealth will be lost to the
producer.
Economic relations must adjust
themselves to the exigencies of the
times, or the breach that now separates
the helders of ACCUMULATED wealth and
the producer, the workers, the devel-
oper5 of the nations resources, will
widen and become gulf that nothing
can bridge save by concession to equi-
table demand, or ultimately by the sac
ri6ce of human life, resulting in an
archy and confusion, or an equal evile
established legalized tyranny, creating
8 class of American poems and peasants
held subservient and submissive to a
moneyed oligarchy."

NEW YORK PoLITIcs.-There was an
interesting feature of the democratic
mass meeting at Albany last night.
The feature of the meeting was to be
the presence of Senator Hill, who was
to make lengthy address. The meeting
was presided over by Charles Tracey, a
personal friend of President Cleveland,
and this may have accounted for the in
cident. While the secretary was read
ing the usual number of regrets, SEN
ator Hill caused a sensation by reading
this one;
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Washington,
D. c., Oct. 30.-Gen. Charles Tracey,
Albany, N. Y. I have your letter and
beg you to convey to my Albany friends
and former neighbors at the democratic
ratification meeting this evening my
cordial congratulations on the wise and
patriotic declarations in their State
platform concerning the leading guess
tions before the American people, and
the assurance of my earnest wish for
the success of our excellent State
ticket. GROVER CLEVELAND.
When the vast audience of over 5000
people had recovered from the surprise
that the telegram seemed to cause
there was cheer that very nearly rent
the building in twain, and this contin-
usd for some minutes. Senator Hill
smiled and Joined in the applause with
q hearty good will, and this seemed to
encourage the audience to renew it
again and again.
Senator Hill was received with vo-
ciferous applause when he arose to
speak. In great measure he repeat

The Nicaragua Canal.

A new plan for constructing the Mic
aragua canal has been outlined by
George H. Ellsbury of C%entralia. Wash,
which, II feasible, would certainly obvi-
ate many objections now entertained to-
ward the several canal "jobs" which
have at various times occupied the at
tention Of congress. 1t is known as the
Pacific plan, and a brief outline Of 1t
follows:
The Nicaragua canal. 1t is necessary
to bear in mind, was first begun by the
Maritime Canal company. which pro-
posed to build It with the proceeds Of
the, sale Of its stock, the par value Of
which was $780, Oo,0 900. The project
lapsed through lack Of confidence, but
not until the Maritime Canal company
had secured from Nicaragua and Costa
Rica concessions for a period Of 80 years.
A reorganization Of this enterprise
under the name Of the Nicaragua Canal
Construction company was effected, but
It could not float its securities without
congress- indorsement. and there is de-
cided objection to having this govern
ment loan It's credit to spectators who,
under the terms of the deal. would be
the only mes to make anything out Of
the transaction. It il now proposed to
