over the prospects of regaining her free.
dom within a few days. Her new

bail, to the extent of $50, 0C0, if neces.
sary, according to dispatches from

grams from persons Offering to 60 on her

Virginia's Outcome az the Worlds
Fair

The fact that Virginia was awarded
one of the four grand prizes at the
Worlds Fair which closed this month,
is not generally known through the State.
There were only four grand prizes given
for agricultural exhibits, and the Old
Dominion, with only fifty thousand
dollars to spend, secured one of these,
her other three competitors, whose ex-
bibits she equalled, having in two in
stances a State appropriation Of aquarter
of a million dollars, while the third
State had an appropriation CT an even
million. Not only this, but Virginia,
in the prize list, came abe I'd OF a d)zen
States having appropriate IS ranging from
one hundred To two hundred thousand
dollars. This State received no less
than sixty medals for her various ex-
hibits, in many instances, as in the case
of her mineral display, carrying off the
highest honors. Virginia was not only
awarded a gold medal on her mineral
display, but also, on her exhibits of corn,
grains, tobacco, apples, and peanuts
So favorably impressed with Virginia's
exhibit were the officials OF Canada, that
the Prime Minister and Commissioner OF
Agriculture of the Dominion wrote
Commissioner Koner cOngratulating him
npon the splendid showing made by this
State. They said that Virginia had
opened the eyes Of The world.
1t is impossible to estimate in dollars
and cents the great benefits which the
State will derive from the Legislatures,
action in making the iilty-thousand
dollars appropriation, and the wisdom
and good judgement used by the Com.
missiomers in expanding this money to
the best possible advantage. That they
did so. is evidenced by the results---lhe
only real test Already, practical bene-
fits are being seen, for Commissioner
Koiner is receiving hundreds of letters
from people who saw Virginia's exhibit,
and who are so iavorabIy impressed with
the resources of this State, that they
dssire to locate here. Many farms have
already been sold to these inquirers.

GRATIFYING reports come from Wash
ington that the ship subsidy is dead, SO
far as this session Of Congress is con-
cerned. 1t has been believed that some
of the southern democrats would sup
port subsidy under the impression that
southern shipping would assume great
importance when the Panama canal
opens. Prominent southern members,
however, say that not over five per cent.
of the southern delegation would support
it. Inquiry among western members
develops decided opposition to anything
like subsidies, unless of the lightest kind
and intended to facilitate mails between
this country and others where the SER
vice is at present poor These members
report that their constituents are just as
determined in their opposition to sub
sidy schemes as they were in the days OF
the Hanna bill Messrs Lodge and
Grosvenor are pushing the idea of ship
subsidy. but little is now expected to
come of it. The report of the Merchant
Marine Commission will be made as soon
as Congress reconvenes. With it will
be bill embodying the ideas of the
commission. 1t is expected to provide
for subventions, tonnage taxes for foreign
vessels, for building up the naval reserve
and for certain mail subsidies.

As announced some days ago, the two

When quinine was put on the free list
many years ago howl of distress was
raised by the manufacturers, and there
were then, as now, superservicable or
gans to loudly assert that removal of the
duty would "ruin" the business OF the
