THEY WILL ACCEPT.

The gratifying news comes from
England that at the meeting of Vir-
GINA bondholders the proposition of
the Olcott committee was accepted by
an overwhelming majority.
That this is so bears testimoney to
the representative character of the
committee and the changed frame Of
mind in which the bondholders find
themselves. The State of Virginia is
making an honest tender of all she can
pay.
Prompt action on tho part Of the
Legislature is now in order.

Politicians Startled at the Strength tho
Party Is Showing.
RICHMOND, Dec. 1S-Politicians here
are startled at the show for prohibition
made by the session of the State Prohi-
bition convention which adjourned yes
terday. The body ostensibly gathered
to urge the Legislature to adopt high
license measures, but it was found that
nearly half the body were solid Prohi-
bitionists. 1t was decided to organize
temperance alliances in every CITY and
county. The following compromise was
adopted:
Whereas we do not think the pre-
ponderance of public sentiment at pres
ont In Virginia is such as makes it
prudent for us TO ask of our legislature
the total prohibition of the liquor traf-
fic, we still desire it to be distinctly un.
derstood that we regard prohibition,
State and national, the ultimate and
only effective remedy for the vice of in.
temperance, and to this end shall not
cease in our efforts to educate public
sentiment up to our position on this
grave question:
State Superintendent of Schools Mas
sey presided. He was at one time Ma
homes ablest lieutenant, but did not
follow him into the Republican party.
His prominence and political ability,
as we'll as his conceded prominence as
debater, are regarded as Indications
that he may make the prohibition vote
factor in the States electoral choice.

TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 5-A story is
printed here to the effect that young and
very pretty woman who goes under the

plan was to send desired visitor her

fort to induce two of the victims to prose
cute the woman, but they would not do so.
The Story She Tells People.
She told several persons that her right
name was Emma Holman; that she was
the daughter of Congressman Holman, of
Indiana, and has shown letters which
would tend to confirm her; but it is be-
lieved here that the woman is well con-
nected in the east, and that she has got
hold of letters addressed to friend from
some one by the name of Holman. She
arrived at Olympia about two weeks ago.
