ON THE ALERT.

. HELENA, Feb. 9.--Although proceed
ings in the contest over, the estate of
Millionaire Davis are temporarily
stopped, the hecontestants are on the alert.
The Root faction, which alleges that the
will is forgery, made move today, the
object of which is to establish the fact
that the conspiracy was entered into on
the part of John A. Davis, the sole
legatee by the will, and Erwin Davis, of
New York, both brothers of deceased.
The manager of the Western Union tele-
graph office of this city was called upon
to produce certain kilograms sent and
received by Erwin Davis, who, it is said +,
is in debt to the estate about $500, 1000.
Certain kilograms were shown the court
commissioner but the one most par
ticularly desired by the Root faction was
one alleged to have been sent to or re-
ceived from the only living witness to
the will. Fully six weeks will elapse
before the probating of the will can be
resumed, in view of the decision of the
supreme court ordering the appointment
of jury commission. =

charge, not only as an absorbent of heat
generated, but as ''cooler' after the
charge has left the gun. By another de-
vice pneumatic pressure is produced

to Yankee FIshermen.

HALIFAX. May "a special from st.
Johns. N. f., says:
Magistrate Bishop, at Bay st. George. tele-
graphs Mr.. Carty. member Of Parliament
for that district, that the French warships
have taken up the cod traps Of British sub
jects and landed them on shore and have
strictly forbidden the inhabitants TO sell bait
to Americans. The magistrate further tele-
graphs that French steam launch is driy-
ing the bait boats from the side Of American
schooners, and that injury Is done, for the
fishermen have left the place.
The attorney general has wired Magistrate
Bishop; "Under the treaty Of 1918 Ameri-
can citizens enjoy fishing rights the same as
British subjects within the limits prescribed
by the treaty and subject to certain reserva-
tion. The French admiral has no authority
| or right to stop Inhabitants from selling bait
| TO Americans, with or without license.
I'm May, 1890, Lord Salisbury, comment
Ing on similar attempt by a French Ad-
miral on the warship Drac, said: Her
MaJesty's government Is unable to admit the
control OF the fishing operations of British
subjects, and they earnestly trust that Ia the
fishing season now commencing, the French
commander will carefully abstain from such
acts OF interference.
The action OF the French commander ap-
pears to be taken from want0r malice. as
no French vessels were In st. Georges Bay
In search OF bait at the time.
