London, Feb. Ex-senator Edward q.
Wolcott of Colorado, who has been Wis
iting London, Paris and Berlin i'm the
interests of bimetallism. returned here
to-day from the latter city. In an in
tervicw he said: Il wish you To say to
those Interested i'm the United States
that | return entirely encouraged with
the result of my mission. / have good
reasons to believe that 1t will have
some of the results hoped for. The ex-
act objects for which came over here
have been largely misstated by the
press of all countries and their very ma
ture made impossible any premature
discussion which could only have
thwarted the whole object of my trip.
l am therefore unable to contradict
them or issue a statement on the sub
ject. / am satisfied to abide by the re-
suit when all will he known.
II have everywhere been received
with the utmost courtesy and kindness
by officials and financiers. l have not
seen many bimetallists, and could not
give the time to accept their hospitali-
ties, as to do so would be simply swing
ing round the circle and the passing
anew of resolutions which were passed
for years. The gold men were those |
was after and / must say they received
me with every apparent desire TO assist
my plans so far as they could do so.
II was received by Prince Hohenlohe
with the utmost kindness and atten-
tion. | am afraid from the statements
of the North German Gazette yesterday
which, referring to the far-reaching BIZ
metallic conclusions some newspapers
attached To the visit, declared that the
senator's audience was purely one of

in Berlin and the statements 10 which
the North German Gazette refers were
not inspired by me or by my acts. OF
course, in coming here / took my fate
and that of such mission in my own
hands. ] repeat ] am entirely encour-
aged by the result"

ton of Cascade and Stork of Cascade,
made good fight To strike out that
section of the bill which required that

his point and after much opposition had
been developed.
The committee took Armitages bill
providing for constitutional amend
ment relative to the assessment of rail-

incident OF Che Revelation.
smoky Ordinary" pretty little Vir-
ginia village. owes its name 10 an in
cidentof the revolutionary war. In the
early days of this country inns and ho-
tells were known as ordinaries. There
was good-sized country inn at the
place where Smoky Ordinary now is
established.
Near this hotel were two storehouses.
in which were kept enormous stores Of
tobacco. While CORVALLIS. the English
lord and general. was marching with
bis army through the Virginias be came
upon this tavern and the tobacco houses.
The main army under CORVALLIS passed
the place unnoticed. but the foraging
corps under Tarleton. Immediately fol
lowed. Tarleton set fire to the two
warehouses and left them TO burn down
The tavern was not fired. The store
houses were filed with the partially
dried tobacco. which burned very
slowly.
For days II smoked. and the smoth
cred fire soon consumed the store of
tobacco. The smoke from the burning
houses enve,oped the tavern with a
thick mantcl Of smoke. which hung
around for quite awhile. The residents
OF the community named the place the
smoky ordinary. A post Office was later
established al the tavern. and the name
OF Smoky Ordinary was given it.
The old tavern still, stands there just
as 1t did in TIE days when Lord Corn
wallis marched 10y IL with his soldiers
from England. ard the room where
Tarlcton's horse foragers took refresh
ments is still there. The place was
somewhat remodeled by Gov. Akin
sons father. who converted it into a
residence and schoolhouse. He taught
school there for several years.-Kansas
