a surplus There was the usual sparring of course
but the conclusion agreement TO appoint

WHILE ON THE FERRYBOAT.
Washington, May (SpeciaD.-The theory that the
package containing the s4l 900 sent by the American
Exchange National Bank the Treasurer of the United
States for redemption exchanged for tho dummy
delivered by Adams Express Company at
tho Treasury to have been aban
doncd Since Saturday last three sets of detectives
have boon engaged In the work Of finding the guilty
persons. but II they have found anything they have
succeeded in keeping 1t to themselves. They In
spcctor Byrness men, of York, the Pinkertons
and private detectives employed by the Express Com
pany. The statement that the United States Secret
Service also engaged upon tho case is Incorrect
Mr. Moss the Washington agent of the Express
Company, said to-day that it was q physical I'm
possibility for the safe containing the package TO havo
been robbed in this city. There Is theory which may
prove that Of the employees In the expss
Office In New York exchanged the package before the
safo was locked and sealed. Tho silence OF tho do
tectves regarding the Express Company's employees In
New.Yerk Is here considered significant. 1t Is known
that some time elapsed betwoen the receipt of the
package and the locking Of the safe. The Pinkerton
men say that It Will be several days before they got
through with the case, thereby giving the impression
that they have at least entered upon the right trail
Their theory believed to be that tho robbing took
paco on the feryboa which carried the express wagon
and tho safe across the river TO Jersey City late on
deal Of course could be plished bat until 1t Is
shown how tho seals were broken and wires cut and
replaced in way to defy detection even this theory

ENGLAND's VAST WAR PREPARATIONS.
FORMATION OF THIRD ARMY CORPS AND RE-
SERVE FIELD CORPS

SERVE FIELD CORPS.
London, May 9.-The Right Hon. Edward stanhope,
Secretary of state for War, to-day received depu-
tation of members Of Parliament who presented an
address urging the necessity OF placing the country
In proper state Of defence.
In reply the War Secretary declared that there was
no occasion for panic England's preparations he
said compared favoraby with those OF foreign powers
stn the Government recognized the necessity for
immediate action At all the military ports and
coang stations the work Of strengthening tho defenccs
was being carried on with renewed activity, and at
the leading mercantile ports every effort was being
made to complete the submarine mining defenccs.
An attack upon London by way Of the Thames wouid
be madc an absolute impossbtllty.
MultifarIous forces of regulars, militia and volun-
teers were about TO be organized and the Government
would DO able to produce at short notice field army
sufficient to defend England and primarily to protect
London. The leading feature Of tho plan would DO
the formation of third army corps composed OF
regulars militia and volunteers, to be used chcn!
in tho defence Of ports; also, tho formation OF
reserve field army corps Tho points OF concentration
and lines OF defence being carefully arranged
and the transport service would be ready for any
emergency. The volunteer artillery would be In
creased by the addition Of $50 mobile and go heavier
guns The danger did not lie In the want OF numoers
but in incomplete preparations. Tho Government ap-
pealed TO Parliament to assist In preparing W @'0T'
any danger that might threaten England
Mr.. Stanhope's remarks were greeted WIN applause
by the deputation.

JUDGE TULEY's DECISION IN SUIT OVER TIE
ESTATE OF A BoNDMAN.
Chicago, May e.--Judse Tsley has rendered pre-.
minary decision in contested will case that Is Of
considerable importance TO all children born in :av
cry and to many Of the descendants Of such children
James Washington, savo Of General Thomas Mar
shall, of Mason County KY, married a slave named
Liza and from thoir union sprang two Children Liza
and Elizabeth. In 1882 James escaped, going to
Huron, Ohio, and there he made arrangements to
buy his wife and two children from their master.
But while no was paying for them his wife and the
child Liza died. and their MASTER in consideration Of
tho sum already paid, gave him Elizabeth. Eliza
both however, soon left him, and, after wandering
over Ohio and Indiana, camo to Chicago, where sho
was married In 1874. Her husband and children
died. and in 1886 she too passed away, leaving prop
erty by will, 1t IS claimed, to Betty Kvery, white
girl, who had boon her companion for some years.
James Washington, aftor the death of his wife, Eliza,
married again and had several children. The eldest
Of these, a daughter married william H. NJ. Bond
and had three children These three childrcn stepped
In and contested the will, claiming It to DO forgery
and that they were the legal heirs Of Elizabeth. But
Judge Tulcy decided that Elizabeth illegitimate
child and could have DO heirs but those Of her own
body. The ground of tho decision IS that slaves
being chatteis, no legal marriage was possible any
moro than real estate can marry real estate
This decision which made on motion for q
rohoaring, . surprise to both sides. The case
will bo appealed, however and then the special point
involved VIII be fully discussed. 1t rs claimed BY
Mr.. Fish, who represents tho Bonds, that whatever
may have been the status Of . slave marriage prior
to the war. the offect Of the Emancipation Proclama
ton and the Constitutional AmoEiments to restore
TO the slaves all those rights Of which they had pre-
vfously been deprived. Whom thoy became free all
the rights Of free attached TO them, retroactivey,
that the children born TO them in slavery became
legitimate. This Is said, also, TO have becn the nature
of the decisions made IN the Southern States during
what is called the carpet-bag period OF late how
ever, It is said, Southern decisions have leaned the
other way. II is stated that the matter has been
brought to Congressman Mason's attention, and that
he Will introduce bill in tho House declaring that
the intent and effect of the Emancipation Proclama-
ton and the Constitutional Amendments to vail
date all slave marriages.
