THE PROPHECY THAT WON

''In A general year Of prosperity Tor
America Omitted States). Election or
Republican Governor Of New York, small
majority. Annexation of Hawaii as d ter
ritory to the United States. Failure or
Spain in Cuba, and a forced declaration of
war against the United States, followed
b vcapture and defeat of troops and navy
of Spain.
Complete freedom OF Cuba Agitation
to annex to the United States. Spain on
the brink of a Carlist war and agitation
for a Republic.
The United States decides 70 build the
Nicaraug Canal Pope Leo XIII. dead,
succeeded by Cardinal Serafino Vannuteli.
Threatened native uprising in India, with
Russia in the back ground. Completion
and opening of the Siberian railroad.
Germany Selling more land in China.
Trouble between England and France IN
Middle Africa. Change of Prime Minis
ters in England. Representative OF Glad
stone becomes Premier. Secretary Sher-
man retires from the Cabinet Queen
Victoria abdicates. Edward VII. King
Success of a submerged torpedo boat
in United States Navy. First appearance
and use of a, motor cycle.
Great rush to Alaska. Population in
creased by hundreds Of thousands, 10 per
cent from the United States. First rail-
road built in Alaska. Decease of Cornelius
Vanderbilt at Newport. Race for the
America Cup won by the American yacht.
Russia and the United States supreme on
the Pacific. A little war between Russia
and Japan.
Altogether the year is not more re-
markable than previous ones. Il is per-
hans more eventful than calamitous. Few
er accidents than in 1897, and more natural
changes in the geographical and political
conditions of the governments.
Literature still continued at low ebb,
with but one or two remarkable works as
in 1897. The stage notable for but two
productions meritng long runs.
"As in 1897, there is still room for much
Improvement in the fiction department OF
the newspaper magazine. though this Is
equally true Of the best periodicals.
Altogether 1898 is a notable year for the
close of this century, but not an epoch
making twelvemonth. Many things are at
a standstili, but the new. as usual, is full
of promise.

GEN. WALKER'S TRIAL.

The case of the Commonwealth
against Gen. James A. Walker, for two
terms Congressman from the Ninth
Virginia district, in which he is charg-
ed with shooting Attorney w. s.
Hamilton with intent to kill came up
for trial yesterday before Judge Stuart:
OF the corporation court OF Bristol.
Being denied continuance. the de-.
Tense made motion for change OF
venue, supporting this motion for q
change of venue, supporting this mo-
ton by a number of aft iavits to the
effect that the prejudice in Bristol
against the defendant was such that he
could not gat fair trial here. After
elaborate argument the afldaVits were
admitted and the prosecution was slow
ed to file counter affidavits. Upon
these afidavits and upon the law ID
the case the motion for change of
venue will be decided probably today.
a motion was also made by the de-
tense for change of venue in the civil
suit in which Mr.. Hamilton seeks to
recover $4,000 from General Walker
for alleged damages due to the shooting
by which Mr.. Hamilton Was wounded.
1t will be remembered that the shoot
ing occurred last March, and was the
result of accusations made during the
taking of evidence in the Walker-Rhea
Congressional contest.
