The insurrection in China is evidently
not making rs rapid progress as was re-
ported few weeks ago. The rebels have
not yet advanced on Pekin beyond the
Great WALL nor have they been dispersed.
There is yet large amount Of possibility in
the outbreak, but the days of the present
dynasty are far from being numbered.

Nothing Left to Public lnstitutions-Every
thing to His Own Household,

thing to His Own Household.
ERIE, Dec s9.-[SpeciaI 1.-The last will and
testament of the late Hon. William L. Scott
was admitted to probate to-day. The public
has long been awaiting the publishing of
this document, believing that it contained
some generous public and charitable be-
quests, and either the endowment of an in
stitution of learning or the establishment Of
a city library and building. 1t contained
none of these.
Mrs. Masthilda Scott, the widow. and her
daughter, Mrs. Mary Scott Townsend, of
Philadelphia, and Mrs Anna Wainwright
Strong. son-in.Iaw, Charles H. Strong, and
his trusted business partner, Matthew ii.
Taylor, are the administrators. The only be-
guest smacking OF charity was the use of
$4,000 to Miss Mary Haverstick, the family
housekeeper, for u number Of years. The
property is devised to tue members of the
family generally, but no reference is made
to the valuable live stock on the Scott farm,
or the pleasure yacht Mystic, or any other
personal property. The estate is estimated
by those who were familiar with Mr.. Scott's
affairs to have been not worth more than ST.
001 900, and all admit that Mr. Scott's wealth
was always greatly overestimated.

A CLAIM of s71, 900 by the city of ALLIE

which swells it up TO $226,0 600 evidently
wishes to make the Northside citizens be-
lieve that they are rolling in wealth, or the
companies think that they are doomed to
bankruptcy.

1t is somewhat interesting to find the
esteemed Washington Post in an article on
the socialistic tendency declaring that s'the
interstate commerce law is a socialistic
measure, pure and simple.'' If SO. it repre-
seuts socialism of long and respectable
standing in this country, as the earliest rail-
road decisions in the thirties and forties
clearly declared the right of the legislative
power to regulate and control the public
highways created by the cxertion of the most
sovereign governmental function.

YANKEE FISHERS SLIGHT CANADA.
The Effect of Newfoundland's Friendshi
for Uncle Sam Showing Itself.

OTTAWA, Dec. 29.-Twenty-one fewer
modus vivendi licenses were taken out by
American vessels during the present year
than in 1890. Last year the Newfoundland
Government issued no licenses to American
vessels, on the ground that the Americans
abused the privilege to supply bait to French
vessels pursuing their operations Off the
coasts of Newfoundland. This year they
gave the New Englanders free licenses and
refused to allow Canadian fishermen to
purchase bait at all.
Under these circumstances the number
of Canadian licenses taken out by the
Americans shows that the privilege is ap-
preciated. In 1889 Canada and Newfound-
land issued licenses which were honored in
the ports of either country.

They met on the way. Maxwell asked
Fairman where he WAS going Fairman
named the lady for whom they were rivals,
and said he was going to call on her.
This answer was the signal for the begin

Maxwell grabbed his whip from its
socket, stood erect in his buggy, and with
all his force brought the lash down on Fair
mans head. Fairman returned the blow
with a similar one.
The cracker on his whip reached around
Maxwell's head, wrapped itself over his
face, and cut the skin from his eye to his
ear.
Again the whips were raised and brought
down, with as much force and more telling
effect.
At this stage of the battle, one of the
horses became frightened and gave Jump.

Before the Legislature.
ATLANTA, GA. Feb. 7.-State GeOlogist
Spencer seems to have determined on with
holding his resignation for the present, and
the legislature will probably be appealed 20
to settle the differences between him and
the board. When the assembly takes hold of
the matter many believe that another effort
will be made to abolish the geological de-
partment On the other hand, it Is sug-
Rested that the law may be modified
so as to give the chief geolog1st the
choice Of his assistants. The members Of
the board themselves have been heard TO
concur in the opinion that under the exist
ing act ne is too greatly handicapped. DR..
Spencer is reported to have taken the field
to-day in obedience to orders from the
board. A letter to the governor from Prof.
Willet Of Mercer college, stating that his
indorsementsot Assistant Whatley was not
fairly obtained and used, has turned the
tide of public opinion somewhat in the
chiefs favor.
wILLETT's LETTER.
The letter addressed to the governor by
Prof. Willett places Assistant Whatley in
an exceedingly unenviable light The pro-
fessor states fatty that his Endorsement OF
Whatley was obtained under false
pretenses, and that he was utterly

facts, he would certainly have sided with

says, came 10 him when he was
sick and insisted on having his in
dorsement, claiming that he intended
joining a society of young biologists.
This society had not yet been named, there
fore he wished the professors letter ad-
dressed ITO whom it may concern" Maps
were shown the professor, drawn by Assis-
tant Whetley, and he finally gave him the
letter without putting him through rigid
examination.
A meeting of the geological board was
held this afternoon, Prof. Willett's state
ment having been In their hands for the
purpose of considering IL. The meeting
lasted but short time. and no action was
taken. as it was impossible to find DIR.

did not take part in the Gould celebration.
He was invited to participate officially in
the entertainment OF the millionaire, but
declined. The request, it appears, came in
the shape Of telephone message from the
mayor. The governor replied that he would
take the matter under consideration. After
thinking over it he wrote note in answer
asking TO be excused This much seems to
be certain. Rumor adds that he stated in
his refusal that he was unable
to approve Mr.. Gould's methods, and de-
clined on that account. An effort was
made this afternoon to obtain a copy of the
communication referred to. Gov. Northen
had left the capitol, and Executive Score
tary Harrison said he considered the letter
in the light Of private correspondence.
