fourth trial of the suit of Josephine Whit
lauch against the New York Fidelity and
Casualty Company for the recovery OF
SIC. 900. the amount of policy on her hus-
bands life, in the Supreme Court in
Brooklyn, yesterday resulted in verdict
for the plaintiff for $100 only. There was
provision in the policy that it should be
void to the extent of 500 in case Whitlatch
sbou d commit suicide.
Whitlatch was mining prospector and
was found dead in hotel in San Francisco
few years ago. There was a bullet in
his head and revolver by his side. The
question at issue at the various trials Of
the case was as to whether he had COM
mitted suicide, been murdered or killed
himself accidentally. Mrs. Whitlatch will
probably abandon the protracted litiga
tion. on which she has spent several thou
sand dollars.

legal effect Of the passage Of the Cam
eron joint resolution, was called forth
by desire to minimize the danger of
al outbreak in Spain on the part of the
excitable populace, which is perhaps
more imminent than is generally real
lied in this country. Nothing less than
some such emergency, it is argued
would induce the secretary to depart so
widely from his usual practice of refus-
ing to comment publicly ON foreign re-
lations, particularly during the absence
from Washington Of the president. OF
course the latter is committed by the
declaration of the first officer
of the cabinet, to the view
, that congress has no constitutional
authority to recognize the independence

| tion of power Oh his part would be con-
strued as repudiation Of the action of

sent to the president, the latter will
veto it, not only on ground of impolicy
