 CHICAGO, April I2-The Daily News
 to-day published the folio xiug in its edi-
 torial columns: The other day nn un-
 fortunate girl named Jennie Jones, or
 Jennie Woods, died in an opium smok- ing den in this city. On a perfectly proper investigation of the facts the Dai- ! ly News learned that she had been as one time more or less intimate with Mr. F. | H. Winston, American minister to Per- sis. This vas printed here just as 1t would be if any other man had been in- volved. In obedience to rule which is | imperative in this office. there was 10th | ing done to forces sensation out of 1t, neither was Mir. Winston given any ex- emption because of his wealthy position. All that seemed proper was printed. Then followed a libel sult for $50,000. Some untruthful cable messages were given publicity to convince the people that the Daily News had done injustice. We knew better. We warned Mir WInston's friends that in beginning an action they had been guilty of an indis- cretlon, and then awnited developments, Last Saturday there arrived the follow ing letter which requires DO explaDR- tion. We betrsy no confidence m pub fishing it:
 CHICAGO, April 10, 1886.
 NJ. E. Stone, Esq:
 My DEAR SIR:-Referring to q libel suit commenced by Mir. F. H. Winston against your paper. l am convinced by 6 careful reading of the letter published m the Daily News of April 7th, that there Is nothing ibelous in the publica- tion. My father acted too hastily in the matter because he had no sufficient knowledge of the contents of the letter. and l shall myself take the respOnsibil ny oi ordering the suit dismissed. do this as a matter of simple justice tO your paper which l believe was actuated by no malice an dld uoi desire to wRnton- ly Injurs my father. Personally, l wish now and here to scqut you and the Daily News of anything connected with the matter which bas not been both hon. orable and creditable to yOu, and l Gs- sure you of my high and lasting regard.
 Very truly yours,
 Signed F.. WINSTON.
