THE FAYeRWeATHeR WILL CASE.
A Decision that the Widow Must Support
Her Allegations of Fraud.

There was up in the Surrogate's Court,
New York. on Tuesday, on preliminary
motions the contested will case Of Daniel
Fayerweather, the leather merchant, who
after leaving over 81, 100000 to different
colleges bequeathed the residue of his. es-
tate to his executors. Vaughn, Buckley,
and Thomas G. Ritch, each of whom
would get 81, 100000. Counsel on behalf of
the executors made motion to compel
Mrs. Fayerweather to state definitely
when and where and in what particular
undue influences had been exeIted.
Counsel for Mrs. Payerweather contend
ed that bare statement of fraud was sufli-
cient. The instrument on its face pre-
sumed fraud. The attorney who drew it.,
by a few strokes of his pen, made himself
heir 10 over 81 200, 900. Mrs. Fayerweather
was not present. They knew all about the
fraud. The executors themselves must
prove that the will was properly executed,
because itapresumed fraud. They must
establish their rights.
At the close of the arguments the Surro-
gate said that the general allegations of
undue influence made by Mrs. Fayer-
weather were sufficient. but refused toput
the executors on their proofs to show lack
of fraud. He declared that Mrs. fayer-
weather must support her allegations OF
undue influence and fraud.

English Papers on the Debt Proposition

English Papers on the DeDt IrOpOsltion.
The following are extracts from the Lon
don newspapers of December "a, 1890, on the
Olcott Committee proposal tor the settle
ment of the State debt:
The London Times says:
"Those interested will be gratifed to
learn that an advanced stage in the settle
ment or the Virginia State debt is at
length reached. and the plan Of settlement
has been unanimously approved and
recommended by the Advisory Board. 1t
is recognized that the conjoint American
and London committees have acted wisely
in minimizing any danger of disagree
ment, either in the State Commission or IN
the Legislature, by combining their pro-
posals TO such gross amount of new bonds
as will satisfy the creditors and leaving the
actual and final apportionment among the
various classes of creditors to be adjusted
by q special commission. One of the con-
ditions of the contract under which the
bonds were deposited is that the proposal
should obtain the approval and recommen-
dalton OF the Advisory Board, as well as
due acceptance by the creditors. This in
dispensable Formally has been complied
with, and the equally necessary acceptance
by the depositing bondholders has now
been practically provided for and insured
10y the appointment of the Hon. L. j.
Phelps date Minister of the United States
to England), MIR. j. II. Daniel, O. b.. Mr..
s. N. Bralthwaite as commission whose
functions are 10 apportion the new securi-
ties on such bases and principles, as in
their judgment. shall seem fair and equita-
BILE, having regard to the interests of the
depositing creditors. We further learn
that the Council of Foreign Bondholders at
their meeting to-day. under tho chairman
ship of Sir John Lubbock, approved Of all
the measures which have been adopted"
The Standard says:
The negotiations respecting tho Vir-
ginia debt have reached O stage fore
shadowing an early success. The plan
which has been devised has received the
undivided support of the bondhoiders in
this city, and there are many reasons for
believing that it is in accordance with the
views of tho Virginians."
The Daily Ne,os says;
"Bondholders of the Virginia State Sc
curities are informed that the negotiations
which have been pending 50 long with the
object OF arriving ut dehnitive settlement
have at length reached stage promising
early success. 1t Is asserted that the pro-
visions of the proposed plan are IN accord
ance with the well known views now enter
tanned in the State Of Virginia.
The Post, the Chronicle, the Graphic, the
Fnaancier, the Financial Ne,rs, and the
Financial Times. all Of them have articles
similar TO the foregoing. congratulating
tho bondholders that plan of settlement
has been formulated which will bring the
creditors and the State into harmonious
relations.

New Hampshire.

What we have said heretofore in regard
to the New Hampshire middle told our
readers that we thought the Supreme Court
Of that State ought TO decide the election
cases as it has decided them. We never
could concede the right OF court to as
sumo jurisdiction in such case. The
several State constitutions mean what they
say when they provide that each house
OF the Legislature shall judge of the cleo
tons, qualifications. and returns Of its own
members. We regret to lose a Democratic
United States Senator and Democratic
Governor in New Hampshire. but We are
bound to say that the Supreme Court has
no right to pass upon the credentials OF
members Of the Legislature.

Pranostarons

We borrow word from Mr.. WEBSTER and
say that the suit just instituted in the
United States Circuit Court in Baltimore
against Mr.. BLAINE is preposterous.
II is evidently based upon Mr.. SEw-
AIMS proclamation of July %, 1868. an
nouncing the ratification Of the fourteenth
amendment. That amendment contains
the language which was quoted in the
Dispaieh OF yesterday as constituting the
basis Of the suit against Mr.. BLAINE. We
are surprised that good lawyers were found
to undertake so hopeless cause. Nego-
table notes are OF high standing. but
negotiable coupon bonds" ~ the plain

Judge Howey Not to be a Candidate for
Reelection.
it was semi officially stated yesterday
that School Trustee Il. H. Howey would
not be a candidate for reelection. but would
retire on the expiration of his present term.
He has said as much to his associates in the
.3ard and 80 others at various times within
,he past few days. Whether this is to es-
cape the arduous azS >nremunerative duties
of school trustee, or S'1e .hes it is because
of the criticisms which 1--we ,:ass1 ss,Ss on
his course rs a member of the beard, rs nsa
stated. Some of the school trustees
of Helena are very sensitive to
the criticisms which have been
made on them. Trustee Guthrie
is not one of them. Il am not caring for
myself, but l feel for my associates he
said yesterday. Speaking of the high school
building, Mr.. Guthrie said no mortal man
could have predicted that tunnels, old
placer workings and unknown graves would
be found on the ground and necessitate
digging the foundation to Il & eater depth.
AS to the $1,000 extra for that work, he de-
clsres that the work was worth that.
when that building is completed" he
declares, 'the city will have n school house
that it can be proud Of" When asked il
any blame attached to an architect when sc
many changes of plans and additional ex
penses we're necessary, Mr.. Guthrie declined
to talk.

the city several days.
Guy X Piott, of Butte, the we'll known
newspaper man, who occasionally shoves a
faber during the leisure days when his
mining business does not occupy his full
attention.. was in the city yesterday and
his many Helena friends were glad to see
him.
DIR. b. F. Benbrick. one of the old settlers
of Radersburg and the Grow creek valley,
is i'll the city shaking hands with friends.
He reports that the horses in the valley are
not doing well on account of the deep snow
and a number of them will die. There was
practically no growth of hay in the valley
last year on account of the drouth.
