A LONG LOST seoTnsR.
Returns to Become a Party to a
Will Case.

NORTH ANsoN, April 15.-An interesting
will case Is on the tapIs In Somerset county.
In 1899 William Brown. for many years a
proprietor Of hotel at North Anson and
partner Of Benjamin Hilton, died leaving an
estate the inventory of which footed up
about $4,000. A will made in 1882, after
making few small beqaests none Of which
were over $500, divided the property into
three equal shares; one Of which went TO his
wife aud the ether two to her neices, one Of
whom lives In Waterville. Now the deceased
had brother. Charles S. Brown, who has
been away from home 81 years most of the
time In Australia. He has Just returned
from that far away island continent and
together with other relatives of the deceased
Is making an effort to contest the will, hav-
ing retained the services Of Anson NJ. God
darj, ESQ.,, an Augusta attorney. The
grounds on which the will Is contested are
that William Browns mental condition was
such as to incapacitate him for making the
will also that undue influence was used BY
interested parties, The plaintiffs have taken
an appeal to the Supreme Judicial court at
Skowhegan the third Tuesday in September
when the case comes up for trial.

ROYAL LEGATION OF ITALY,
WASHINGTON, April 2, 1891.
Mr.. Secretary Of State:
hasten to acknowledge the receipt of the
note which Your Excellency did me the
honor to address to me on the 1st instant in
reply to that whereby Baron Fava Informed
you of his departure on leave. have laid
the contents of Your Excellency's aforesaid
note before the government of the King, and
His Excellency, the President of the Coun-
Gil. His Majesty's minister for foreign
affairs has just directed me to address the
following communication to you:
"The government of the King of Italy has
asked nothing beyond the prompt institution
OF judicial proceedings through the regular
channels. 1t would have been absurd to
claim the punishment of the guilty parties
without the warrant Of regular judgment.
The Italian government now repeats the
same demand. Not until the Federal govern
ment shall have explicitly declared that the
aforesaid proceedings shall be promptly be-
gun, can the diplomatic incident be con-
sidered closed. Meanwhile His Majesty's
government takes note of the declaration
whereby the Federal government recognizes
that indemnity is due to the families of the
victims In virtue Of the treaty In force be-
tween. the two countries"
have, therefore, the honor to bring the
foregoing to the knowledge of Your Excel
lency and avail myself of this occasion to
offer you, Mr.. Secretary of State, the assur-
ances of my highest aud most respectful

letter respecting Baron Fava's departure.
and while he transmits the Marquis de Ru-
dini's views. these are over his own signature
Secretary Blaine, in his last letter, addresses
himself TO the Marquis Imperiali. These
facts NAV be regarded as final evidence that
Diplomatic relations between the countries
are on practically the same footing as If the
minister had not quilted Washington.
Secretary BlaIne's note contains internal
evidence that this government has not been
threatened IL the answer was delayed or Of
disregard for such threat if 1t were made.
In the leisnrely manner In which he states
that the President 'has taken full time for
consideration" of the treaty questions in
yolyed. 1t is also noticeable that the Secre-
tary promptly checks the attempt made by
Premier Rudini to commit the United States
TO promise to pay indemnity by pointing to
the guarded language of his first dispatch
and induleing in a number Of qualifications.
the purpose of which Is to require a COM
plete demonstration of several matters that
NAV be yery hard to demonstrate. Such for
instance, is the fact required to be legal
ly shown that the Louisiana officials con-
nived at the killing of the Italians, or that
they purposely failed to perform their du-
ties 1t is also significant that the Secretary
has SO far found small authority for the as
sumption in some quarters that the United
States may prosecute the guilty parties in
its own tribunals. 1t appears the Denart-
ment Of Justice is still wrestling with The
problem.
