Senator Daniel and Hon. John S. Wise
Retained as Counsel.
Richmond, July Electromagnetic Sam
Small writes here tonight that he has
retained Senator John w. Daniel, Of
Virginia, and Hon. John S. Wise, for.
me-ly of Virginia. and now of New
York, to represent his daughter in the
suit against her for divorce, brought by
hel husband, Stewart Ford. Wise is one
of the most brilliant lawyers in the
country before a jury, and in some re-
spects is Daniels equal as an orator.
General Edgar Allan and ex-C ongre ssman
Edmund Waddill, two of the ablest law
yers here, will represent Ford. Mr..
Small and Mr.. Frank c. Anderson, of
Alexandria, will also appear for Mrs.
Ford. The case promises to be the most
famous ever tried in Virginia Wise
and Daniel, who appear together, ARE old
political enemies. Small, in letter
received here tonight, says of Ford's
bill:
The charges are as 1 supposed. they
would be, cooked up from frultage of a
corrupt brain, and proposed to be sup
ported by the evidence of an glorious tin
horn gambler and jail bird. whom Inv
daughter does not know from Adam s
house cat. But Simon Capps needs no
introduction through me to the Richmond
and Virginia. public. His career and
character are open pages in the polio Q
and prison history of the city and com.
monwealth. 1t is pertinent, however, to
say he WAS one of the active parties to
the famous Fsrd's hotel gold brick swim
die and that etewart Ford was his secret
partner and capper in that robbery by
his own confession"
In conclusion Small says: ''I propose to
push the issue to it's ultimate conclu-
sion, come what will and fall who may. -

The race of ocean steamers to get int
American ports with their cargoes in
time to evade the operations OF the Ding
ley tariff bill, which became law last
Saturday, was notwithstanding to the
importers of these goods, but as they
failed to make the trip in time the United
States government will profit largely by
the transaction. A great many articles
coming under the operations of the bill
have already been imported, grest'y to the
advantage of the dealers shrewd enough
to take advantage of the situation. The
poor people of the country, however, will
be taxed from the beginning and in the
end will have all the burdens to bear.
This kind Of prosperity may do for a
favored few, but if che Dingley bill oper-
ates like its Mckinley predecessor it's
effects will be anything but beneficial tc
the country at large. The treasury sur
plus began to sink under the operations
of the latter and If such was the result
then it is hard tn see how similar enact
ment can bring about exactly the re-
verse.
