TRENTON, N. J., May 16.-Vice Cham
celIor Bird yesterday decided the case of
the Hutchins heirs against Henry George.
The clause in the will, leaving Henry
George bequest for tile purpose Of aid
ing him in the circulation of his peculiar
IDEAS and theories among the people, was
declared void. The point made by the
contestants was that it was neither a
charitable, benevolent ror educational
bequest. The court said that George ad-
vocated practices with respect to real es-
tate in violation Of the laws Of the land.
He could not sanction spreading such q
sentiment. The will is therefore broken.

OrTAwA, Ont. May 16.-Lord Lans-
downe, in speech last night, spoke in
high terms OF his connection with the

terms of the completion of the Canadian
Pacific Railway. Relative to secret
proposal for close trade relations with the
United States, he would not consider the
question of financial benefit to Canada,
nor would be scan the motives of those
who made the proposal; but he pointed
out that it would give another country ben
etits from which the people of Great Brit
ian would oe excluded, and suggested
that apart from the injury to trade, they
would consider it moral affront. AS to
the other proposal OF fiscal union on the
part of the Empire, he objected to it on

National Convention. The platform af.
firms that traffic in alcoholic drinks en-
dangers public morals, and safety, and is
a fruitful source of corruption in politics |;
the license laws perpetuate this
traffic and are wrong in princi-
pie. Prohibition in State and
National policy is the true method Of
procedure against the saloon; the
Democratic and Republican parties have
neither disposition nor ability to over
throw&he saloon. Entire separation OF
the Government from the liquor traffic
requires the abolition of internal revenue
on liquors; the present tariff should be
revised in order to cheaper the neces
stiles of life, and it can best be fevised
by commission. The platform also en-
dorses the Australian system Of secret
voting; denounces sectional issues in
politics, and approves the work OF the

New HAVEN, Conn May Is. The Re-
publican Convention was called to order
this morning at the Hyperion theater by
Temporary Chairman John A. Tebbets.
The temporary organization was made
permanent. Tebbets addressed the Con-
vention. He alluded to the great res
possibility Of Connecticut as pivotal
State and outlined the paramount issue
as protection against free trade, the mes
sage OF Cleveland, by which the Demo-
cratic party must stand or fall The real
Republican platform would be the
response to the Presidential mes
sage that came across the ocean
as swiftly as telegraph could bring it..
He farther alluded to Blaine as "the
greatest OF living American statesmen,
who thoroughly represents the American
spirit" This sentiment was greeted with
prolonged applause. Allusions were also
made to General Hawley, Senator Platt
and Chauncey M. Depew. The latter's
name was applauded almost as vocifer-
ously as Blaine's At the close OF Teb-
belts speech the election Of delegates at
large was begun and resulted as follows
Samuel Fessenden, Samuel ]. Warner,

form denounces the Presidents tariff
policy, calls for liberal pensions, ridicules
