SAN FRANCISCO, April 13.-Mrs.
Kate Hinkle filed notice in the Pro-
bate Court to-day that she intends to
contest the probate Of the will of the
late Mrs. Kate D. Mclaughlin,
widow of Charles Mclaughlin, who
died in New York recently, leaving
an estate worth about $1,000, 900.
The petitioner asked the Court to
deny the probate of the will made by
the deceased in which she left the
estate to Kate May Dillon and Virginia
Ives and admit that of October,
in which the bulk OF her possessions
is bequeated to Miss Dillon and her.
self. The petition alleges that the
will OF 1885 is not subrcribed to by
the testatrix nor by any person in her
presence also that at the time it pur-
ports to be signed Mrs. Mclaughlin
was of unsound mind and subject to
undue influence and not competent to

The Powell Trial.

REDWOOD Cry, April 13.-On the
opening Of court this morning, DIR.
Ross testified as to troubles of the
brain as an expert. P. P. Fitzpat-
rick testified as to what had been
told him by Wentworth after the
shooting. James Harmon called and
said not to let the matter drop, and
seeing that Powell took it in earnest,
told him that he was only fooling and
advised him to forget it. DIR. Stam-
baugh was again called and testified
as to Powell's condition, he having
had occasion to examine the history
of his life through the war. Atthe ad-
journment of court he was still on
the stand. His examination will be
}ntinued this afternoon.
The defendant, L. A. Powell, testi-
fed this afternoon that Smith came
up to him and said: 81 hear you in
tend shooting me-" The witness re-
piled, "it is lie." Smith then hit
him with his fist and then taking his
umbrella with both hands belabored
him over the head and jumping on
his back, forcing him down on his
hands and knees, the witness then
drew bis pistol and fred, The first
shot he said was accidental the second
intentional, hitting Smith in the
thigh, the third, fatal, was intentional,
the fourth accidental. His testimony
is directly contradictory to three wit
nesses OF the prosecution. The de-
fense rested the case.

Annual Report.

The State MineralOgist's seventh
Annual Report.
SAN Francisco. April 13-William
Irelan, Jr., State Mineralogist, has
issued the seventh annual report re-
lative to petroleum fields of California.
The mineralogist says the fields where
petroleum is found in merchantable
quantities in the State are exclusively
located in the Southern counties. He
expresses the belief that it is adapted
for use on the locomotives and is a
cheaper fuel than coal. Natural gas,
he says is not to be found in sufficient
quantities to become of any economic
value as the rocks found in places
preclude the possibility Of securing gas
in quantities approaching the amount
in Eastern States. California in 1881
produced OF gold dust and bullion
$11 1,S36,957; of silver bullion, $972,-

magnitude Of the bill was such that
the Government would be rerniss In
its duty if it failed to take every chance
to forward the measure. Smiths

BELIN, April 14.-There is now alb
so]utely no foundation for the hints
appearing in the press that the be-
trothal project of Alexander and Vic
toria at no distant date will again b.
brought forward. Such contingency
is out of the question, in view Of the
character OF the personages concerned
and the political situation. The re-
ports that Prince Hohenlohe and
Count Won Hatzefeld, Minister to Eng
land, had been sounded as to their
willingness to succeed Prince Biz
marck, are untrue. The Emperor has
not for a moment contemplated the
possibility of the Chancellor resigning
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Prince Bismarck has not won his
fight. This is evident from the fact
that he gives no word of rebuke to the
infatuated partisans OF Breslau,
Leipsic and Dresden, who are holdine
meetings and asking the Kaiser on no
account to lose the services of the
Chancellor. 1t is noteworthy that
the National Liberal party is foremost
in this undignified work. There are
no trustworthy reports of the progress
of the dispute inside the Palace of
Charlottenberg, but there is grow
ing belief that Prince Hohenlohe,
stakeholder of Alsace-L Lorraine, has
been offered the post of Chancellor in
succession to him. There are also
signs of serious political differences
between the Kaiser and Chancellor.
