Washington, Dec 6.-The Hawaiian
matter is being more discussed here even

political capital out Of it. The democrats,
on the whole will stand with the Presi-

heve that his position in regard to the is

NEW ORLEANS mArrA SUITS.
The Jury Brings in a Sealed Verdict in
the AbaRnatto Case.


New Orleans, La, Dec G.-The Abag-
natto case against the city of New
Orleans for $4,000 damages, a case grow
ing out of the lynching of the Italian
Malta, at the Parish prison, in this city
about three years ago, was argued before
Judge Boarman, in the United States
circuit court today
Hon. a. H. Leonard for the plaintiff,
opened the argument with brief state
ment of the claims of the plaintiff. Both
sides then sent up typewritten instruc-
tlons which they desired the court to
give the jury. The court ordered the re-
moval of the jury from the court room
while the instructions were being dis
cussed
The city denies that it is responsible
for either actual or punitive damage, and
the plaintiff contends the reverse.
The plaintiff to-day submitted that the
actual damages based on the earning ca
pacity Of the deceased during the time he
would probably have lived If he had not
been killed, would have amounted to
$4,000.
VERDICT REACHED IN AN HOUR.
The case was given to the Jury quite
late, and soon thereafter the court ad-
Journed until II o'clock a. IN. tomorrow
The jury had been out about an hour
when verdict was agreed upon, but the
court having adjourned the jury delivered
Il sealed verdict into the hands of the
clerk, and it will not be opened until II
o'clock tomorrow.
Judge Boarman virtually decided that
AbagnattO was an Italian citizen and
that damages should be ogiven for the
suffering Of the prisoner during the at
tack on the prison, and the lynching. 1t
is thought that the jury gave u verdict
against the city for several thousand dol
lars, although the plaintiff asked for $30,-

AN UNUSUAL VERDICT.

w. H. venable Found Guilty, But the
Jury Says His Action Was Justif-
able.
Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 6.--An unusual YER
dict was rendered by a jury in the city
court to-day.
w. II. Venable, the capitalist and polit-
ical boss. who beat G. X Woodward with
q hersewhip several weeks ago in the
latter's Office, drawing blood from his face
and soaring him for life, was found
guilty of assault and battery. In giving
in the verdict however, the foreman Of
the jury made a statement, in which he
said the defendant had done right
and was only found guilty because he
could not be exonerated by the law. At
