THE IILDEN WILL CONTEST.
ARGUMENT FOR THE RESPONDENTS OPENED IN
THE COURT OF APPEALS.


THE COURT OF APPEALS.
Saratoga, N Y, June BIN the Tilden will case
before the Second Division OF the Court OF
Appeals Daniel G. Rollins this morning con-
cluded his arguments for the appellants. In
opening for the respondents, Delos McCurdy re-
viewed the establishment by the Will Of the separate
trusts created for individuals. Concerning the thirty
fifth article he said it needed Interpretation, as
asked for by the other side. 1t IS clear and concise
What he did ask whether the intention, clearly ex-
pressed, was lawful He argued that trust
disposition, no matter what form 1t took, must be one
that an equity court could make lawful disposition OF.
The other side strike of the last portion Of the thirty
fifth article and say that Mr. Tlden meant nothing by
that that what he intended free library In New
York; but In sayng that they eliminate all other pur-
poses mentioned by the testator. The Tilden Trust Is
mentioned nineteen times in the win, but not once Is
II referred to free library.
When the institution Is Incorporated satisfactorily
To the testator what does he say about his reduary
estate to his executors He says when you nave
IL Incorporated, then leave you perfectly nee TO con-
yev 10 this corporate much or so little as You may
deem expedieTt; but II you deem It inexpcdient 10
fcfai TO mankind" AS 1t stands. the Will makes no
distinct limitation for the creation OF the oorpoauon
and IL lacks every element necessary TO constitute
valid contingent future disposition.
Joseph II. Choate, OF counsel for the respondents
followed Mr. McCurdy and at the afternoon recess had
not concluded his argument, which he Will resume 10
morrow morning.

Montevideo June 3-The budget statement made
yesterday by the Government Of Uruguay is regarded
as satisfactory. surplus is expected after paying
the service of the public debt and the railroad

The present financial panic may be abating in the
Argentine Republic; but the real financial condition of
the country remains desperate as It has been since
the revolution OF July, 1890. The panic has subSided
temporarily, since gold, which three days ago was
quoted at 321 has fallen to 293 But those ups and
downs the BueIos Ayres Exchange ore nothing more
than manifestations of uneasiness which cannot be
quieted until general liquidation has been eneceo
after which the rich country of La Plata will soon again
be hourshng through moderate exploitation OF It's
immense natural resources. The Argentine Govern
ment published In April On ofnclal report on inc
financial administration In 1900. The expenses estl
mated in the budget at S54,OO0oOO amounted In
eleven months to $1OO,OO0.oOo and the revenue was
only S560OOOOO in paper and 100000 in gold,
deficit Of about S44 100000, while the estimated ex-
penses had nearly doubled These figures relate only 70
the federal budget while the budget of the provincial
governments showed deficit OF S27, 100000. This
made total deficit of S75, 900 In the Official ad
mnistration, federal and provincial That sum was
triie however, compared with the immense indebted
ness incurred by private banks, firms and individuals
In a country which has only 100000 to 100000
Inhabitants. In 1884 the total debt OF the Argentine
Republic was about 81 000, 900 900; now 1t Is $3.50,
100000. In six years Of bad government and OF a
reckless boom the debt has been Increased BY S2,o65

Argentine maintains army which costs about So,
