ST. JOHN DIVORCE CASE.

"a JOdN DIV ORCE CASE.
LONDON, Dec. IA. The Jury in
the St. John divorce case today
found verdict in favor of the res.
pondent, Mr.. Marius. The suit
for divorce begun by Miss St. John
against her husband, Mr.. Duplaney
Marius, was continued before Mr..
Justice yeune and a jury to-day.
This was the sixth day Of the pro-
ceedings. The correspondent in the
counteraction for divorce instituted
by Mr.. Marius against Miss St.John
testified this morning and it is need
less to say that his appearance as
witness in Miss St. Johns suit
was the occasion for a
display of much interest on
the part of the crowd. In the
court room Mr.. Cohen walked jaun-
tily to the witness box, and after
the oath was administered. to him
he In response to counsel's ques-
tions denied that he had ever com,
mitted adultery with Miss St. John.
He further said that there had
never been any undue familiarity
between himself and the petitioner.
The evidence by Hubble, the maid,
that he had gone into Miss~St
Johns room was according to Mr..
Cohen absolutely false. He met
the petitioner at Monte Carlo by ac-
eident. He did not fall IN love
with her. The only feeling he en-
tertained for was one of respect and
admiration. 1t was announced that
the evidence was all in and Mr..
Gill, counsel for Mr.. Marius, stated
that he thought the evidence sub
mitted for his client was so conclu-
sive that he was quite content to
leave the issue to the jury without
making any address if Sir Charles
Russell, counsel for Miss St. John.
would agree also not to address the
jury. Sir Charles Russell imme-
diately declared that he was per-
fectly willing to agree to this course.
Mr.. Gill, who had evidently made
his statement for effect looked won-
derfully surprised when his propo-
sition~, was taken literally, but he
sat down and Justice Jeune summed
up the case TO the jury. The
jury returned a verdict refusing
Miss St. John the divorce asked
for. The jury found that Mr.. Ma
rius was not guilty of the acts of
cruelty imputed to him by Miss St.
John, nor was Miss St. John guilty
Of adultery as charged by Mr.. Ma
rius. The court granted Mr.. Cohen
his costs in the action. The ques-
tion of who shall pay the other
costs was not settled. The verdict
was greeted with cheers. Counsel
for Miss St. John applied for ju-
dicial separation. Hearing on this
application was postponed. Mr..
Marius was applauded by the crowd
as he left the court.
IN CHILL.
SANTIAGO, Dec. IA. E Ferro-
cdrfss, the leading daily newspaper
Of this city, says in its editorial col
funrns that it supports minister
Malta in depreciating the tone of
President Harrison's message and
ascribes it to exaggerated data
which the editor claims was forward
ed to Washington. He goes on to
say that he feels confident that the
people and the government of the
United States will alter their ideas
on the subject when all the facts be-
come fully known. Capt. Schley,
