Notes of National Capitol.

The State Department announces the appointment of Prof. John Todd Hill to be consul general at Greytown, Nicaragua. Boston Jews will appeal to Congress to puss resolutions calling on the Russian government to take immediate steps to prevent any further maltreatment of Jews. Acting Secretary Loomis for this government and Sir Mortimer Durand, the British ambassador, acting Tot the Saltan of Zanzibar, have exchanged ratifications of the treaty negotiated by Secretary Hay and the late Sir Michael Herbert, adjusting light and harbor dues in Zanzibar. The treaty has just been proclaimed and therefore becomes at once effective.
