Traveller Won Victory.

libel brought against Frederick d. Cham
berlin and the Boston Daily Traveller by
Mrs Josephine c. Woodbury., the famous
Christian scientist, for publication of
certain exposures of Mrs. Woodbury. IN

his wifes affections, which latter case is
still pending, came to a sudden and sem
sational ending today by the dismissal
of the case and the discharge Of the de-
PENDANTS
A. M. Potter, brother of Mrs. Cham
berlin, the only witness called, was on the
stand under hot fire of cross-examin L.
ton by the defense. The prosecuting
counsel objected to further cross-exam-
nation, but Judge Deway overruled the
objection.
Counsel Chaplin became excited, and
refused to accept the rulings, and refused
to put in further testimony, whereupon
the court found no probable cause and
discharged the defendants, in spite of the
protest of the prosecution.
Counsel threatened to bring another
similar suit, and was severely arraigned
by the court.

SENATORIAL CAUCUS.
Question of international BimetaIl-
ism Put Off Until Friday.

Washington, Jan. 12.-The republican
senatorial coucus did not take final ac-
ton on the question of international BIZ
metallism, but adjourned until Friday.
This failure was not due to any oppos-
ton to the proposition to provide means
for a conference, but to the fact that the
language of the bill prepared by the VOL
cott committee was Objectionable to some.
The bill as drafted provides for the con-
sideration of free mintage' of silver.
Some western members objected to this
wording, saying it should provide for free
and unlimited coinage.
Senator Allison impressed the caucus in
a brief speech with the necessity of a
complete outline of what was wanted. It
was suggested that it would be better to
adjourn and take time to make the bill
complete and acceptable to all than to
attempt to make amendments while in
session.
This suggestion was adopted, with the
understanding that the democrats and
populists should be consulted with regard
to the proposed change. Some senators
expressed the opinion that France, Hol-
land and Belgium would be friendly to
the movement. The caucus was lightly
attended. The republicans who bolted
the st. Louis convention We're not in
Vited.

this State are so much greater than those
of the bleak and inhospitable Northwest
that all who are acquainted with exist

claims set forth by Paulus.
First, the climate of old Virginia can.
not be excelled by any county on the
globe, either in tropical, sub TROPICAL or
temperate zones. Then, again, the soil,
while not rich everywhere in the State, is,
even in the poorest localities, susceptible
OF easy improvement: so much so that,
when the nearness to market is consider
ed. and the facilities for transportation
taken into account, the advantages even
OF the poorest portions .of Virginia can
easily be made to equal those of the most
favored parts Of Dakota or any other
Northwestern State.

The Republicans of the. House arc pro-
ceding RAPIDLY with the new tariff bill
and hope to take the final vote on the
measure by the last of this month. The
Senate, however, will have to be heard
from and it's progress through that body
will probably not be near so rapid. The
general disposition of the opposition,
however, seems to be TO give the Republi-
cans chance to test the alleged benefits
of protective tariff. and then if it does
not bring the promised relief to hold
them strictly responsible for the failure.
Prosperity is what the people want now
and they certainly will not quarrel with
the party that gives it to the country.
