A FIGHT FOR MILLIONS
The Litigation over the sprague Estate to
be Settled.ss

Boston. Dscem Der 8.-Gentral Butler
few days hence in the United States Su-
preme Court, will argue the suit of the
exectors Of the estate of Evan Randolph,
of Philadelphia, against the Amasa
Sprague Manufacturing Company. This
is test suit on au original claim for $40,- :
600, but, as a matter of fact, it involves
the whole Sprsgue estate, valued at S2O,-
100000.
After sixteen years of complicated, in
cessant and vexatiOus litigation, the ques-
tiOn is about to be 6ually decided whether
the trust deed to the vast Sprsgue estate is
valid or void. 1t is question which
deeply concerns the capitalists, bankers,
mill owners and even politicians of Rhode
leland.
FROM GOVERNOR TO POLICEMAN.
Amasa and William Sprsgue were mill.
ionsire cotton and print manufacturers
until the panic and crash of 1873. Will
lam had been war Governor and United
States Senator. His entertainments at
COnonchet were orientslly splendid. To.
day he is Chief of Police at Narsgansett
Pier. Amasa lives quietly at Coweset.
When the collapse of 1876 came there were
16, 500 notes securing mortgages of $14,
100000.
Then began the legal snarls and strug-
giles, and it is credibly alleged that most Of
their old-time friends hastened to desert
the Sprsgues and seizs what pickiBgs they
could from the incumbered estate. At last
the trust deed was signed, with Zacharish
Chaffee as Trustee. The Spragues defend
ed it until, as they and their friends al.
lege, they found the estate to be flsgrantly
mismausged and squaudered. 1t is mat
ter of record that offers ranging from
81, 500, coo to $4, 682, 900 above the indebt-
edness were made for the property.
A FIGHT TO SMASH TRUST DEED.
Then began the battle to smash the
trust deed and to oust Chaffee, the
Sprsgues and minority of the creditors
being arrayed against a powerful syndi-
cate. After three years delay the legality
of the deed is now about to be passed upon
in the tribunal of last resort. General
Butler avows himself confident of having
the trust deed declared void and fraudu-
lent

Governor Foraker's letter to John Il Nc.
Lean on the bsllot-box forgery matter, the
drift of sentiment here among representa-.
tive men Of both parties is that it is an ad-
mission that he concealed important infor-
mation. as shown by his correspondence
with Wood, that he should have made
public, but did not through fear that it
would ipiure him politically in the CAM
paign. The reasons assigned by him for
not giving the information are regarded as
decidedly lame by Republicans who in the
past haYe been his most ardent supporters,
while among leading Democrats his sup
preston OF the facts is considered as trick

In this way he had large interest in the
Sioux City and Pacific Railroad, which re-
ceived from Congress by the vote of Mr.
Allison and others a munificent grant in
lands and bonds. He also held large in
