DETROIT, MICH, Jan. 30.-Three hun

Fraternity Hall this morning for an all
day session. g. W. Ostrem, Of Trenton,
Ont, is presiding officer. TIE speakers
TINS morning combined themselves chiefly
TO descriptions of the vast estates in En-
gland, how they came 10 pass into the
hands of false heirs, and what must be
done by the rightful claimants. The OIL
GERS OF the Toronto association ex-
planned what they had done toward
recovering the property. When they
got through it appeared that
there had been but little progress
IN the matter since 1918. This afternoon
the Honorable Queens counsel, Blake, OF
toronto, told the heirs what their claims
amounted to. He was more modest than
the others, claiming the certain value OF
the estate to be Sl5, 100000 with a posi-
0lilty OF it's being fifty times that value.

for this purpose. Mr.. Geare got up before
The heirs and traced his ancestry from

Mr.. Blake recommended that each one of

Many Oranges Ruined. but the Situation
Not Without Hopeful Features.
DUNEDIN, HILLSBoRoUGH COUNTY,
FLA, Jan. S0.-The facts, az they exist,
in regard to the late freeze in this locality
are as follows my statement will be be-
lieved, l suppose, when it is known that
am minister of the GOspel): Prior to
Jan. IL a succession of north winds had
prevailed that brought slight frost and
ice, but no damage to fruit or trees. or
vegetables. On that night the thermome-
ter registered % deg. at lay house, one
mile from the Gulf, and the ground was
frozen hard by 10 O'Clock. BY next MORN
ing the mercury had fallen to 10 deg and
every orange, selected from three differ
ent localities, was frozen-sOme quite
hard, others Of the consistency of snow.
A slight sprinkle of snow, scarcely per-
ceptible, also fell during this lime. Some
parties in this vicinity claim that their
oranges we're not frozen. BY noon of Jan.
II the mercury had risen to 80 deg. at
which point it remained for some days;
and 70 this continued degree of GOODNESS
was perhaps attributable The safety Of our
trees.
After close investigation two weeks af-
ter the freeze, observe the following con-
dition: Orange trees not Injured, neither
young nor old, not even nursery trees;
some trees defoliated, some half, some
scarcely any; young leaf buds already
appearing; last years budded stock badly
injured, especially the improved import
ed varieties; particularly lemons. Fo-
Iiage on all lemons and lines Of all ages
falling, tender branches perhaps killed,
but main stock safe. All thoroughly
tropical plants with tender growth, such
az coffee, cOcOanut, pineapple. mango,
alligator pear, guava, etc, killed to the
ground, except one very large mango,
and one very large, '15.year-old alligator
pear, which escaped with stock and large
branches. The fallen oranges cover the
ground, which presents an alarmingly
beautiful appearance, while perhaps one
half still hang on the trees, less hurt,
probably, than the others, and as these
are quite sweet yet l shall begin to ship
again to-day. 1t seems that the most
fOursbiug trees, whose wood had fully
matured, Withstood the cold best. The
harder vegetables are safe. While our
loss Is great we are thankful that 1t was
much lighter than was at first thought,
however.

Ex-Speaker Randall states the Situa-
ton and What WIN Probably be Done.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Mr. Randall,
with respect to tariff legislation says:
'sWe cannot anticipate what action will
be taken or the degree Of reduction which
will be recommended, but from all learn
on the subject the proposed bill Will be
moderate Iu its scale Ofreduction and will
undertake TO carry out the views of its
trainers by processes more gradual than
were provided IN the former measure. IL
would not be possible to anticipate the
fate of such a measure ia advance OF the
introduction OF the bill itself. There are
many new questions involved and public
sentiment in many sections has under
gone very material notifications. l be-
lieve that the next bill will recognize
these new conditions. There now appears
to be disposition TO accept some middle
ground upon which the interests OF states
and constituencies can be- harmOnized, so
that the element OF local sntagonsm will
not disturb the harmonious consideration
and action which measure OF such vital
importance to the prosperity and happi.
ness of the whole mass of the people
should receive.
81 have great hopes that the next meas
ure will be one upon which there can be
no differences within the ranks Of the
Democratic party AS a question OF econo-
mic policy which cannot be recOnciled so
as to secure united and harmonious ac-
tion."

were the morning be died. The same
paper is on the wall, and on the cTacked
window panes are written the names OF a
score of people who probably have long
since died, as the dates opposite
their names are back in the
'4Os and sos. In the Old
capitol there is q peciarly shaped room
at the north of the SupremeCourt Guam Der,
which was formerly the United States
Senate chamber, which is famous for being
the place where Morse first successfully
operated the telegraph. In this little
room he mad an operator whom he had
trained himself,a young man named Sweis-
niger. The room is now bare ante-room
to the Supreme Court chamber, and
through 1t regularly every morning and
afternoon the supreme Court Judges in
their robes pass 10 the bench. 1t was
over a line from this room 10 little out
door station at nladensourg, five miles
away, that Morse was first able 10 trans
NIT a message. The line was then being
built on to Baltimore, and on the day that
the Democratic convention that nOml-
mated James X. Polk was being held this
little room was the scene OF great excite
ment. The Senators kept thronging In
there, and the doors were guarded to
keep out the crowd OF people outside, anX-
iors to learn the work Of the convention.
1t was here that William l.. Marcy de-
clined to become a candidate for the
Presidency. When the message came over
the wires that he could be nominated, his
first words were: "No, no, VIII not take
it" and Senators crowded about him
trying to persuade him to change his
mind. Up stairs, over this room, is
long, narrow, dimly lighted chamber,
Capitol. That was before the wings were
built. and when the Capitol consisted of
what is now little more than the base of
the dome. This room was Jefferson Davis
committee room and the headquarters of
the Southern leaders in the Senate. If

he understood that the land was compare
lively valueless, and he accepted for his
share $40. and the other seven heirs re.
ceived similar sums.
The land in question, IL has subsequent

Butler and the Soldiers Home.


The alleged shortage of Gen. Buffers
accounts with the National Soldiers
Home when he was Treasurer again
comes up with the printing of the report
OF the House Military Committee. This
committee finds shortage ct about $3.50,
OU0-$2l,000 iI cash and 5000. 900 in bonds,
counting the latter at their par value,
which would be increased by their appre-
citation. This matter should be cleared
up without delay. Gen. Butler is getting
along in years, and whether we consider
him or the Soldiers Home, a part Of
whose endowment seems to have disap-
peared, there is demand for prompt ac-
tiOn. Gen. Butler has testified before a
Congressional committee that he kept
some of the accounts of the Home with
his own private accounts. and ha appears
to have prOtited by holding large balances
belonging to the Home, and the question
now is whether he distracted the funds
of this worthy institution and used them
i0r his own benefit. We should be sorry
to believe that man credited with large
wealth would yield TO such a temptation
however much he might love money. and
Gen. Butler, VINO seems to have no pOliti-
cal purpose to serve at present, cannot
afford to live under the imputation OF
THEFT, especially theft OF this particularly
infamous character. Let us have the
question settled In The courts.

among the easy-gOing French population
Of the quaint old fortress city, have been
pressing themselves into the set of society
whieh centres around the garrison, the
local Cabinet ministers and the govern

cred around the rotunda of the Russell
house; year later he was occasionally
to be seen at the Garrison Club. and now
he is a regular habitue OF the resorts
patronized by the ''best people,"
His formal debut into society, how
ever, may be considered TO date
from last Wednesday evening, when be
attended the annual ball OF the Aurora

events of the season. The Lieutenant
Governor and the Ministers generally at
tend. and during the stay OF the Princess
Louise in Canada she was one OF the most
enthusiastic patrons of the organization.
Emo was accompanied by his wife, who
was looked upon as one of the bellies of
the evening. She fairly gittered with
diamonds. Among the nOtables present
was Sir Adolph CarOn, the Canadian
"War Minister" the dandy Of the Cabi-

whom the Princess Louise and, in fact
the ladies in general. have always be-
slowed their special favOrs. The Lieu

invitation, was not present, and it is said
on good authority that mis- absence was
owing to the fact of his aide-de-camp,
Capt. Sheppard, having informed him Of
the presence OF the American bank
wreeker. The circumstance has caused
no end OF pOssiD and several laadinO
members of the club have sent in their
