CORNELIUS VANDERBILT'S WILL
One of His Sisters COntesIing Its
Singular Features.

NEW YORK, May 29.-The will of Corne-
Illus j. Vanderbilt, who committed suicide at
the Glenham Hotel a short time ago, is being
contested by his sister, Mrs Mary A. Lebeau
Berger. He left an estate valued at $780,
600, not one penny of which went to
any person by the name of Vanderbilt.
He bequeathed $4,000 to his friend, Geo.
n. Terry, aud sums of money to other
friends, giving 800 to each of his sisters to
purchase some article In remembrance of
him. Mrs. Berger, in contesting the will,
alleges that Cornelius at the time
the will was executed was q resident of
Connecticut, where all his real estate was
situated; that the writing was not his last
will; that It's execution was not his volun-
tary act, and that he was not of sound mind
at the time he signed it. She alleges that
the document was procured by fraud prac-
ticed on Cornelius by Terry and others; that
the testator suffered from epileptic
fits for years, and was weak
mentally and easily influenced; that Terry
attached himself to Cornelius in the hope
Of getting his money; also that the testator
never would have executed such will but
for undue influence. She says she was
under considerable expense in assisting Cor
nelius to contest his fathers will, and that
he promised that she would be no loser by
assisting him. The case has been put on
the calendar Of the Surrogate's Court for
the 9th of November next. No other OBJ
jections have yet been filed.

THE ALLEGED WHISKY RING.
The Inquiry Begun at Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The special COM
mittee appointed by the Senate to investi-
gate the allegations that money has been
raised or expended by parties in interest to
influence legislation upon bonded spirits,
adjourned from Friday to 10 O'Clock this
morning, but owing to some misunderstand-
ing as 20 the hour of meeting, a quorum was
not secured until after II O'Clock. Colonel
Wharton, counsel for the Kentucky distil-
lers, Major W. H. Thomas, of Louisville,
and Mr.. Stagg. of st. Louis, were in attend
ance at the committee room promptly at 10
O'Clock, and waited somewhat impatiently
for an opportunity to testify.
Mr.. Thomas remarked to the Chairman
that he was anxious to have the investIga-
tion proceed. This interest was an i'm
portant one, and was suffering by each davis
delay while these charges were pending.
Mr.. COckrell replied that, in his opinion.
neither the charges nor the pending investi-
CATION would affect the action in the Senate
upon the bonded spirits bill.
Major Thomas was then sworn, and In re-
sponse to questions by the Chairman,
detailed at some length the processes IN use
in Kentucky In the manufacture of whisky,
and also the methods employed in making
high wines, and explained the difference in
the products of the two modes of manu-
facture. Witness had visited Washington
several times to further the interests of dis
tillers. DE had never appealed to any one,
however, but the Senators and Representa-
tives from his own State. He had never
importuned them, but had pointed out the
justice Of the legislation asked by liquor In
terests, and had made the same character of
statements he had made before the commit
tee. He had never been approached by any
outsider with representation that he could
secure influence with Senators or members,
and had never seen the time when, in his
Judgment, there was any occasion for the
expenditure of one cent to influence legis-
latiOn or secure influence with Senators or
members. Had seen through the news
papers that money had been used with
the press, but never had been ap-
preached by any newspaper reporters or
journalists except with a request for news.
He never was asked for a dollar, never
offered one for newspaper Influence, and
never heard any one In the liquor trade say
that he knew Of any such thing being done.
The National Liquor Dealers and Dlstillers
Association never raised fund for lobby
ing purposes and never made an assessment
upon its members. Their only fund was
the annual dues Of ten dollars from each
member.
The examination of Mr.. Thomas, which
followed, failed to show the use of any
improper influences to secure legislation
upon the bonded spirits bill, and was mainly
directed to an inquiry into the status of the
liquor interest and the effect of the pending
Dill In relation to bonded spirits.

THE CRISIS In EGYPT.
THE QUESTION OF TURKISH IN
TERVENTION.
A Commissioners from the Porte En-
Route TO CaiTO-Ehe London Press
on the Situation.

q BERLIN, May 29.-All the powers except
ing France are agreed that in the event of
Intervention in Egypt becoming necessary
for the maintenance Of the status quo, 1t
should be made by the Sultan himself.
LONDON, May 29.-The Daily Neass, in
leading article, says that it is the first duty
of the government to protect the lives of
Englishmen resident in Egypt without de-
lay. 1t hopes that the ironclads at Alexan-
drls are equal to the task. The English Ad-
mral admits his inability to land men.
When this primary obligation is discharged, ,
then the real difficulties of the situation
will only begin, The duplicity of the Porte
is now tolerabIy certain. It will be impos-
sible for Mr.. Gladstone to assist in making
Turkish rule reality in Egypt.
The Standard says that If Turkish inter-
vention is impossible, then France and Eng
iand must take the matter into their own
hands Immediately.
The Daily Telegraph declares that the
policy of Difference to France has been
carried beyond the limits of prudence.
The Post blames Mr.. Gladstone for for
getting the traditions of British policy and
allying the government with anti-Turkish
proceedings of France.
The Standards dispatch from Cairo
says: "Osman Pasha will be appointed
Imperial Commissioner to Egypt, and will
arrive this week accompanied by small
body guard. Arab Bey has ordered that
the Khedive's circular against recruiting be
revoked"
PARIS. May 29.-The Cabinet Council to-
day discussed dispatches from Egypt, and
decided that there was no reason to come
to fresh decisions.
Some evening journal states that negotia-
ttons are proceeding between England and
France with the view to the dispatch of
special envoys to co operate with the Tur-
kish Commissioner who is going to Egypt.
The Yellow Book to be presented to the
Chambers to-day deals with events in
Egypt from the 1st of February, 1881, to
the resignation of the Ferry Cabinet, and
affords evidence of uninterrupted under
standing between France and England
touching Egyptian affairs.
CoNsTANTINOPLE, May 29-The majority
of the Ministers favor the immediate dis
patch of squadron to Egypt with an I'm
perial Commissioner. 1t is stated that the
British and French ambassadors have with
drawn their objections to Turkish interven-

WINTER WHEAT.
The Outlook for the Crop Greatly
Improved.

NEW YORK, May 29.-The World prints
dispatches regarding the prospects of winter
wheat, which represents that the compare
lively gloomy outlook has changed greatly
for the better. The cold month of May,
injurious, as it undoubtedly was, to
much other vegetation, did no harm to
winter wheat. 1t gave it vigor without too
rank growth. The harvest has already
begun in Texas, and the yield is excellent
in quality and quantity.
10 the Northern States, east of the MIssis-
sippi, some fields suffered from winter kill
ing, but as has more recently appeared not
nearly to the extent that was feared. There
was little or no Increase in the
acreage. In fact, it is probable
that the drought of last autumn
caused some reduction OF the area sown, but
at present there is little reason to doubt that
the yield will be larger throughout much of
the winter wheat section. Il will be ready
for harvesting in June, and even in North
ern latitudes in JulV

EASTMAN, GA, May GA burly negro fellow
attempted to revive the exercise of civil rights
on the up passenger train, between here and
Jesup, yesterday. He deliberately walked in.
deposited his bundles, and seated himself in
the hrst-class passenger coach set apart for the
whites. When the conductor came in to collect
fare he informed the negro that he was in the
wrong car and referred him to his proper
place. Cuffy insolently replied that he had
as much right there as any other passen-
ger, and he intended to remain where he
was. The conductor acknowledged his strict
legal right, but told him it might not be COM
Portable for him to stav in that car and IN a
friendly way advised him to go the coach spe
cially provided for colored passengers The
negro, however, persisted in maintaining his
rights, and the conductor left him. In a little
while, however, his position became decidedly
unenviable He recOnsidered his determine
tion, and it was fun to see how that darkev

Frank James 20 be Pardoned.

ST. LOUIS, May 29.-The Post Dispatch
publishes a statement showing that Gov
Crittenden has been in negotiation with
Frank James for the past ten days for his
surrender, and that the noted outlaw will
be pardoned within week.
A dispatch from Independence, Mo.
states that a sensation was aroused this
morning by the arrival there of Mrs. Frank
James and her five year old son, Jesse. She
came on train from the West and was met
by her father, Colonel Samuel Rawston.
This is her first visit home since 1877 and
confirms the report that Frank James will
soon be Fardoned. She refused TO say any
thing farther, but admitted that Frank had
been In bad health since Jesse died, and
added that he was at some watering place.

The Latter Granted Temporary
AIImOnYa

NEW YORK, May 29.-To-day a decision
was given granting the motion in the suit,
which has been before the courts for some
time, brought by Agnes Robertson Bouci-
cault against Dion Boucicault. Judge
Barrett, in the Supreme Court, to-
day rendered a decision upon the
motion to award the plaintiff
alimony. He said there was nothing in
his judgment to justify entire Withholding
Of temporary alimony, but he thought
it ought to be reduced, leaving the
question Of permanent alimony to deter
mine upon the trial. Under the cIrcum-
stances he thought alimony pendente lite
at the rate Of $500 per annum would be
reasonable, and would meet the views of
the general term.

Special Reports of its Prospects.

NEW YORK, May 29-The World has
special dispatches from New Orleans. Gal
weston, Memphis and Mobile, which, 1t is
claimed, have been carefully prepared,
showing the present condition and pros
poets of the cotton crop. The report sums
up as follows:
II the season, from the present time until
cotton picking begins, is an ordinary one,
the outlook is that there will be q
considerable increase In the amount of
cotton grown In Alabama and Texas over
last year, and quite as much (nowithstand-
ing the overflow in the States of Arkansas,
Louisiana and Mississippi. The reports
from the Atlantic coast and the northern
belt may not be expected to be quite so
favorable as those from the Gulf States, but
the whole situation at this time may be re-
garded as promising yield in excess of that
of the current season, last year, and approx
mating, no doubt, the largest ever raised.
