THE EIGHTH DISTRICT.

NUNDE's STORE, Va, Jan. Z, 1896.
To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
Your Washington correspondent.
under date of January 1st, writes that
certain democrats from King George
county informed him that Senator j.
E. Mason will go into the next demo,
cratic congressional convention in the
Eighth district with solid delegation
from King George aud Stafford counties.
This writer desires to correct the i'm
preston made by that statement, both
in Justice to Senator Mason and Judge
Ashton.
It is we'll known by those who are in
formed upon the subject that Senator
Mason is not only not candidate for
the nomination, but has voluntarily
pledged himself to support Judge Ash
ton.
Consequently there can be no posi-
bilitv of contest between these two
gentlemen. The friends of Judge Ash
ton have had such assurances from both
counties that fully warrant me in stat
ing that he will have at the convention
a solid delegation from Stafford and
King George elected, practically, unan-
imonsly. Respectfully, ]. G. NINDE.

The Bond Issue.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1O.-The withdraw.
al of the Chemical Bank from the
Morgan syndicate was much com,
mented upon in banking circles today.
There is more than all impression that
Nassau street bank, which is large
holder of gold, will serve notice of lis
intention to withdraw from the syndi-
cate either to-day or tomorrow. The
Withdrawals by no means endanger the
success of the loan, no matter what the
result may be so far as the syndicate is
concerned. Not few bankers believed
that there will be further defections
before the time for filing subscriptions
has expired. The demand for gold
from intending bidders is good and DO
difficulty is experienced in obtaining a
small premium for the metal, say per
cent. The gold exports tomorrow, so
foreign exchange brokers say, are likely
to be small. So far the engagements
are only 81 100000, and it is probable
that S5OO,0OO of this may not go at all.

The Transyaal.

LONDON, Jan. 10.-The Queen has
addressed an autograph letter to Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary OF State
for the colonies. thanking him for his
services in connection with the dlstur-
Dances in the Transvaal.
A dispatch from Berlin says that IN
less Great Britain satisfies the demands
of President Kruger, which include the
abrogation of the convention of 1854,
by the terms of which England exer-
cises uzerainty over the Transvaal re
publics. Germany will urge Kruger to
appeal to the European powers to
support him in his demands.
Mr.. Chamberlain has cabled to o
member of the British South Africa
Company, informing him that there
will be full inquiry into the company's
raid into the Transvaal and that
further violation of the territory of the
South African republic will be pre-
vented.
LONDON, Jan. 10.-A dispatch from
johannesburg says it is reported there
that the release of DR.. Jameson and his
followers will be made conditional upon
the abrogation of the convention Of
1854.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10..-A cable dis
patch from Berlin says. In diplomatic
circles here it is believed than an ami
CO Die solution of the Transvaal question
is only question of days. The war
like preparations made by England are
regarded as ridiculous demonstration
to cover the inevitable check of her
policy.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
WASHINGTON, January 10.

WASHINGTON, January III.
The proposition looking to the estab-
lishment of an international bank,
which was one of the recommends
lions of the late Pan American Con-
eress. will receive the attention of the
House committee on banking and cur
rency on Monday next.
The House judiciary committee to-
day considered the bill introduced by
Mr.. Curtis, of New York, several
weeks ago to modify capital punish
ment. The purpose of the measure is
to permit juries in murder cases to re-
sturn verdict of guilty, but with the
added suggestion that the penalty is
not ITO be capital punishment.
A resolution was reported to the
Senate, to. day from the committee on
library, and agreed to, for the pur-
chase of ia portrait of the late Allan g..
Thurman, now in the rooms of the Sen
ate judiciary committee, and to pay $3.50
to its owner, Mr.. William Woods.
The Department of State is in receipt
of dispatch from the q. S. Minister in
China, transmitting memorial ad-
dressed to the emperor by the princes
who are Joint presidents of the board OF
foreign affairs, in which attention is
called TO the inferior quality of the high
priced foreign ordnance purchased by
She Chinese government during the
recent war with Japan and suggesting
olans for improving government arse
mails and gun foundries.
It is reported that Governor OFFER
