New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1891-05-30

The will of the late Charles Pratt, which was
filed for probate yesterday and is printed in
full in our columns contains no startling revela-
tons. As was expected, the Pratt Institute is
well provided for, its founders gifts thereto
amounting in all to $2,5OO,O 900. Provision is
made for the distribution Of 100000 to char
liable societies and institutions in accordance
with the decedents wishes. The rest OF the
large estate is bequeathed to the widow and
children, the portion for the latter being set
apart in a trust OF indefinite continuance. MIR.
Pratts idea seems to have been to concentrate
his gifts for public purposes rather than to give
moderate sums for many objects. There is the
agreeable prospect Of no contest over the dis
position OF his estate.

The Liberals had reason to expect victory
in North Bucks, but there is cause for genuine
rejoicing in the fact that their majority is near
ly double what it was at the last previous cleo
ton. 1t was then 20s; now it is 3s1. Nu-
merically it is not great, but in reality it is
substantial. Moreover, the Gladstonians have
been steadily gaining in the constituency, which
in 1887 was carried by the Conservatives by a
majority of II. This springs by-elections are
all calculated to cheer Mr.. GladstOnes follow
efs, and give assurance that the next appeal TO
the country will yield them decisive victory.

THE GREAT DESERT LAKE.
Its Source is the Colorado, by Way of
the New River Country.

The following dispatch was received from
G. W. Durbrow, Superintendent of the salt
works at Salton, Cal.
The Indian [ sent out from Volcano
Springs has returned. His statement
zS..tlas the Question of the water coming
from the NeN River Country. The
water is coming into the sink at Saiton
through Carresco Creek 1 made a dia-
gram of his trip as he told me. His story
was compared with the map and found him
truthful in every particular. The course of
the water can be traced by land from Fig
Springs. The water enpties into Salton Sink
twenty-five miles south of Salton. The water
is increasing slowly, but moving to the west
FAST
A dispatch from the railroad agent at
Salton says the water rose one and half
inches in twenty-four hours and is much
fresher. Since the source Of the water has
been definitely solved as coming from the
Colorado River by way of New River, and
the fact is established that the railroad
track is in no danger, interest has subsidized
and all that can be done is to await devel-
opments.

parts of pulyerized resin and two parts
of train oil: STIR well in this one part

is again put into the fire and suitably
tempered in the ordinary way. An ex-

An Early Description of California.

In an old geography printed in 1872
appeared the following: California is
wild and almost unknown land.
Throughout the year it is covered with
dense fogs, as damp as unhealthful. In
the interior are volcanoes which some
times shoot columns to great heights,
and vast plains of drifting snow. This
would seem nearly incredible were it not
for the authenticated accounts OF
travellers"
