Ink Said Not to Have Been Made Until
After the Date OF the VIII.
Tho hearing in the Gordon will case was re-
sumed yesterday In the Chancery Chambers in
Jersey City. before Chancellor McGill. Gordon
was an inventor and manufacturer Of printing
presses He was millionaire. and it was sup
posed he died intestate. An old will was dis
covered recently and offered for probate. The
proponents say it Is o genuine document,
while the opponents are trying to prove that
1t Is forgery. The testimony given yesterday
was entirely OF an expert character. There
were inter,ineatIons in red ink IN the original
made by Mr.. Gordon himself
Prof. James .. Stebbins Of New York had
scope and he declared that they were made
with Ink manufactured from eosine. an ink
that was not discovered until six years after
the date Of the will. Other experts are ready
to testify that the ink Is an aniline ink and WAS
In use for years before the will WAS drawn.
Henry c. Adams. the elderly lawyer from
Orange who discovered the will among his
fathers papers, WAS recalled. He has become
doubtful as to whether the draft Of the will with
members now. that another draft was made
some time between 1875 and 1877. and he
thinks this may be the one.

In Brooklyn.

Tho grotesque canvass for tho ofice OF
Mayor which Is being conducted In the city
OF Brooklyn by HENRY A. MEYER. the Repub-
ucan nominee. has furnished q fair amount
OF diversion to those who believe that he
would be a proper successor Of the able and
conspicuous Democratic Mayors Of the
fourth city OF the Union. But 1t will he just

the hope Of being able to control legislation

closest districts In the State. and its voting
population. constantly growing. is now in
excess Of $1,000. In the contest OF two years
ago. the Democratic candidate for Senator
was successful there by the slender plural

candidate had plurality OF 900; the Rcpub-
lican nominee had In 1887 plurality OF 053.
while In 1885 the district was carried by the
Democracy by plurality Of 1853. With tho
rapid growth OF population. the strength OF
the political parties has kept even pace. and
accordingly the Fourth Senatorial district
remains close. uncertain. and wavertng. The

the Fourth Senatorial district to the Repub-

fight between the American and Gillian sailors.
In which one Of the former was killed. He
gives the names OF the men hurt in the ARRAY.
and corroborates the facts concerning 1t that
have been already printed. He asserts briefly
that the fight was caused wholly by the Chill

sailors without provocation. Tho bontswain's
mate. who was killed. was dragged from q
street car by members OF the mob. which num-
bored fully $50. He died In the arms Of fol-
low sailor.
The officials at tho Navy Department deny
that the despatch contained any sensational
statements, as was asserted in morning pa

quoted as coming from him on the subject In
the same paper are wholly unfounded.

height Of st. Elias Ii between $1,000 and
1900 feet. Tho computation OF the United
States Coast Survey In 1874 gave q height OF
10, 800 feet. In the absence OF decisive fig
ures as to the height OF Mexico's greatest
summit. st. Films may still be permitted.
probably with entire accuracy. to claim the
highest elevation.
For the first time the north side Of St.
Elias has been visited. and the mountain
has now been inspected on all sides. II
was thought that the north might offer
better advantages for reaching the top
than the west side and southeast angle,
where the previous attempts have been
made. This years effort to scale the noun
tain WINS rewarded better than the other at
tempts. for RussELI succeeded In reaching
height OF about 14.5oo feet. surpass-
Ing his record last year and also that OF
ToPHAM In 1883, who endeavored to Zig
gag his way up the west face. and
was compelled to turn back after as
cending II. $50 feet. ToPHAM expressed the
opinion that the next expedition should
try to ascend from the north. One OF the
chiefs Of the Yakatat natives had told him
that he had once. while hunting goats. gone

tho northern, face was much less steep
than the southern. Whether or not Mr..
RussEnn found the conditions for climbing
more favorable. 1t is gratifying that he was
able to do 80 much work on the hitherto I'M
known slope. It had been thought possible
that northeast Of St. Elias there might be
some unknown and overlapping peak. All
that region has been spread before the gaze
Of explorers this summer for the first time:
but though RUSSELL saw many SUBMITS
rising to heights from, 10000 to $4,000 feet.
he saw none that could outrank st. Elias.
The region Of the St. Elias Alps. covered a.
It is with glaciers many hundreds OF feet In
thickness. Is still In tho condition In which
Switzerland Is supposed to have been dur
ing tho last glacial epoch. Both RUSSELL
and ToPHAM soy that the Alaskan glaciers
are now retrestlng. Biologists may there
fore be able to observe whether the great
ice streams which the explorers describe are
exerting such erosive action as has been at
tributed to their extinct Alpine predeces-
sors. No other accessible region offers so
good an opportunity for the study OF many
features Of glacial action on a large scale;
and this Is why. as Mr.. RUSSELL says. the
region Is full ofinterest to scientific men and
the work undoubtedly will be continued.

In the Eighth Senatorial District.

The Hon. LrsPKNARD STEWART IL candi.
date for election again to the Senate from
the Eighth district. He has the Republican
nomination. Against him Tammany Hall
Is running MARTIN T. MCMAHON. the County
Democracy w. T. JEROME, and the Prohibi-
tionists JOSEPH A. BoaARpUs.
Two years ago Mr.. L1sPENAnD STEWART
was elected to the Senate from this district
by aplurality Of only sos. there being then a.
now two Democratic candidates In the field.
Mr.. STEWART was recently asked for his
opinion on the desirability Of repeating the
outrageous press gag provision in the Eec-
trical Execution law OF 1883. He replied that
he had never read the law and had nothing
to say.
1t Is true that the Hon. L1sPENARD STEW.
ART was not q member Of the Legislature
which passed the Electrical Execution law.
with Its odious and unconstitutional pro-
visions devised by Commodore ELRRIDdE
T. GERRY for the suppression Of the free
dom OF the press. But Mr.. STEWART has
been Senator during the past two years.
the period covering the general discus
sion Of this measure. its experimental
application at Auburn and ct Sing Sing. and
the universal protest on the part Of the
newspaper press. It Is an astonishing con-
fession on the part Of Senator STEWART
when he afllrms that he has never even read
q measure concerning which there has been
moro public discussion than about any other
law passed at Albany during the past ten
fruitful years.
Even in the busy days between now and
Nov. the Hon. LIsPENARD STEWART ought
to find time to peruse the Electrical Execu-
ton law Of 1883. He is probably the only
member Of the last Legislature now seeking
another election who is not familiar with it's
provisions. We advise him to read the law,
and then perhaps he may have something
to say on the subject.
