The Davis Will Contest

BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 25.-TSpecial tele-
gram to TEE HERALD The Davis will
trial to-day scored a victory for the CON
testants. This was in the nature of a
decision by the Judge refusing to strike
out the testimony in regard to the making
OF a will by Davis in 1880, which contained
clause revoking all previous wills. AL
though the will of 1850 was DESTROYED. it is
claimed that the fact of its having been
made and containing revocation clause
does away with the will of 1866 which the
proponents are now seeking to probate

continued their case and devoted the entire
afternoon to the introduction of testimony
testifying to the good character of j. c.

Call for an Irish League Convention.

LINCOLN, Neb. Aug. 25.-John Fitzger.
aid, president of the Irish Nation League
OF America, issued an address to-day call
ing for convention at Chicago, October
20 next. The call says, IN part, that the pres
ent lamentable condition of affairs in the
old land and the falling off of Irish-Ameri-
Gao support as direct result of dissension
IN the ranks of the parliamentary party,
are reasons enough to induce the lovers OF
Inc cause to come together and devise
measures to overcome the difficulties. 1t
mas been deemed expedient to go beyond
the lines OF the Irish National League OF
America and invite the corporation OF all
lovers OF the Irish cause. To this
end every existing branch of the Irish Ma
tlonal League of America will be entitled
10 one delegate for every twenty five men,
oers, and all other societies and organiza-
lions VIII be allowed one delegate for every
twenty-five persons, who, between now
and the 18th of October, shall subscribe SO
TO the funds of the league. Further every
Individual who has since the last conven-
tlon contributed at one time S25 through
the national treasury, who shall have done
SO before the 18th of October, shall be en-
Titled to the privileges of delegate.
Inc OBJECTS of the convention are in sub
stance to examine into the present and
PaoU AeIdIlouS UeGWeen the leagu In Amer
lea and the leaders of the national move
ment with view to placing them on bet
ter and more satisfactory basis, to revise
and amend the constitution, to pledge once
more inviolable fidelity to the cause of Irish
liberty, and to adopt such measures in sup
port thereof as may be considered wise and
lustitiable. All who have the cause of Ire
land at heart are earnestly requested to
make this convention not only a success,
but historical land mark in the progress
of the Irish movement.
1.-The time has come" says the address,
when we should prove to the world that
our moral courage is not inferior to the
physical bravery our race has ever dis
played on the battlefield. Noobstacles nor
political defeats can brighten US from the
path or fathers trod before US. We should
not abandon the grand old organization
which has rendered such valuable aid to
the Irish cause during the past ten years
to embrace newly formed association re-
sulting from facttonal differences and not
representative of united and progressive
Irish nationality. The cause is above men
and the organization should not be held re-
sponslble for the shortcomings of indi-
UidualS

which was brilliantly lighted with Chinese
lanterns. The whole town is decorated
and 5000 visitors are here. After dinner
the President was escorted to the Weldon
house, which fronts upon St. Adams park.
About twelve thousand people were massed
in the park, which was illuminated by
1000 Chinese lanterns. The President was
introduced to the assemblage by E. G..
Smith.
The Presidents speech was short
After referring to the unjust trade re-
strictions and exactious imposed upon the
colonists in early days, he said This
battle for market was never more gen
eral or strenuous than now among
all the nations of the world, though not
pushed by bloodshed." Continuing, he
said that Americans ought to send
their products to foreign markets by the
methods Of peaceful aud profitable inter-
change. He then referred to the probable
increased grain crop of this country and
the deficiencies of the crop in France,
Russia, England, Germany and India, and
these countries would probably be enabled
to sell their grain to great advantage. The
Presidents speech was frequently inter
rupted by applause and cries of Good. ~
The President leaves here TO morrow.

An English View of the IntercontinentaI Rail-


LONDON, Aug. 25.- The Times today
publishes three column article upon the
projected 1ntercontinental railway, which.
when completed, will link the South and
central American republics with each
other and with the United States In dis
cussing these plans, the Times expresses
the opinion that James G. Blaine, United
secretary of state, is man of grandiose
Ideas, and if,sas it seems quite possible. he
is the next President, there will be some
chance of realizing the scheme.
! Continulng, the Times says: "The project
aims to join the markets of North and
south America, but there is no place for a
general commercial system, even in the re
ldtions between the several republics. The
ilallroau, when completed would
nave TO compete with the great
waterways on either side of the
continent. From Buenos Ayres to
New York and from Valparaiso to San
francisco the existing means of travel are
slmpller and cheaper than they could ever
be made on a railroad
IL Is obvious the scheme has equally
Poltlcal as well as commercial ends in view.

puollcs, even though the first outward sign

Inc Times also asserts the recent pro
posals on the part of the United States
looking to the establishment of reciprocity
WIN inc various republics of the continent
were generally received by the countries to
winch the overtures were made as speci-
mems or absolutely cynical Anglo Saxon
selnshness, and that the proposals created
profound d1strust in American bargains
touching upon the question as to where
the capital is to be found for the enormous
enterprise, the Times expresses the opinion
IL cannot be found in the needy southern
republics, and that it must be raised in the
United States. The latter would be obliged
10 guarantee interest on the cost of con-
structlon, and there is a strong conviction
the United States would recoup itself for

publics further south
Many people of practical opinion the
Times says, 'believe the scheme will never

United States for guaranteeing the bonds

puDlics could not grant. The United States

oURAT, Colo, Aug. 25.-TSpecial tele-

Worlds Fair Matters

CHICAGO, Aug. Exchanges were made
to-day in the interior plans of the mann
features building of the Worlds fair, which
add ten acres to the floor of the building
and give it forty acres available for ex-
hibits and avenues, making the largest ex
position building ever constructed. The
music hall and shoe and leather building
are forced out by the new arrangement to
other parts of the grounds.
The change was the result of a protest
by Vice President De Young, of the ma.
tional commission, who demonstrated that
under the previous arrangement there
would be barely room for foreign exhibits
thus completely shutting out American
manufactures.
The proposition of M. Eiffel, of Paris, to
erect tower at the exposition was today
definitely rejected An American com.
pany, headed by w. E. Hale, will, it is
said, submit more acceptable plan.

DEFENDS HIPPOLYTE
The Charges Against Him Said to
be Groundless.
HE DESIRED TO DO RIGHT
United States Minister Terres Given as the
Authority for This Statement-A Near
aguan Revolution Suppressed.

NEW YORK, Aug. pa correspondent
OF the Associated Press at Port au Prime;
writing under date of August Is, quote:
Acting United States Minister Terres a:
saying there is absolutely no foundation
Tor the statement that Hippolyte or his
government has acted in the outrageou:
manner printed in United States paper:
during July. Terres believes H1ppolyte
is sincere In his desire Il
do right, but will not tolerate
the slightest attempt to weaken hi:
authority. OF course he is no angel and it
VIII probably never be known how far he
was justified in his course Nav 2S Certain
1t is If he had been assassinated the city
would have been in flames in less than hal
an hour; probably thousands would have
lost their lives; looting would have been
rampant, and heaven only knows what the
end would have been.
According to Terres, the bloodthirstipess
and manlacal outbreaks attributed to Hip
polyte from time to time have no place IN
us nature. Assurances are given by dip
Iomats. capitalists, and business men gen
orally, that until the affair of MAY %, the
present government has been eXtraordi-
naf4ly pallent. Full liberty OF the press has
been repaid with scurrilous criticisms and
misrepresentation. When there began TO
be indications of open defiance, Hippolyte
gave warning that ne was prepared to take
severe measures to uphold his authority.
Inc malcontents are now proving that
they can be very quiet.
Inc publication of 3 pamphlet by John
Metzger, American consul at Gonaves, on
1.-The American Questions in Hayti," has
aroused much attention. The charges made
against Admiral Gherardi, Lieutenant
Hughes and others are very grave, Metz
ger, in an an interview. said Outrageous
methods were resorted to by our govern

ton expressly forbids the leasing or occu-
patton OF Haytien territory by an alien
power. Had the question been submitted
In courteous way to the Hayden cabinet,
the interests which would have been
served would have been discussed and the
people would have been educated into final
acquiesence"
The correspondent says while affairs are
now tranquil it is ture there is much IN
certainty as TO the future. The city is

A Nicaraguau Revolution Suppressed.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Aug. 25.-Granads
on Sunday was the scene of coup de main
by which President Roberto Sacssa tried to
rid himself Of his most prominent oppo-
nents and at the same time nip in the bud
possibility of growing revolution.
The gentlemen arrested include two
ex-presidents of Nicaragua and the
editor and owner of the most import.
ant daily journal in the country. Granada
IS practically in a state of siege and the
troops here at the capital are confined to
the barracks. In addition, the opposition
to President Sacasa is growing daily, and
AFFAIRS are assuming serious position.
For years vigorous rivalry has existed
between the Progressionists, whose head
quarters are at Granada, and the Catholic
church party, whose strong holds are Leon
and Managuza. Granada for many times
past has furnished the country with a
president, but at the last election Sacasa q
Leon man, was chosen president, the Pro-
gresslonlsts say by undue means.
He had previously been a senator. and nm
the mysterious death of President Conazo
two years ago, he was chosen to I'LL out the
unfinished term. This was not approved
by the Progresslonists and Sacasa became
more unpopular as 1t became known that
ne was backed by the church party
and was leaving no stone unturned

some time il has been WHISPERED

Don Anselmo Rivas, editor of the leading
newspaper of the country, Don Enrione
Gusaman, son of General Guzaman and
Don j. Drague, formerly attached to the
legation IN Washington. Their ar

Is not known, but it is reported that the

shot. The prisoners were subseouentIy
brought to Managua, where they were sen.
fenced to be escorted across the frontier
and ordered never to return to the country
under penalty of death.
Granada has been placed in a state of
siege. AS some OF the prisoners belong to
wealthy and important families in Nicar-
aqua, the matter caused excitement and

Don Rodriguez, one of the gentlemen ar

enemy OF American enterprise. This op-
