served compliment to Messrs. Lsird

State Librarian respectively, which
the CAPITAL takes pleasure IN en-
dorsing
The appointment of Hon. Phihp
u. Laird Of Montgomery 10 the po-
slion Of Commissioner Of the Land
Office, while quite surprise, gives
general satisfaction in fact Is one Of
the best that could possibly have
been made. lie is in every way
qualified for the position and will
make an admirable official.
The appointment of Col. Luther
H. Gadd of Caroline as State Libra
rian is also surprise. Governor
Brown has evidently prepared his
slate with care and good judgment.
Col. Gadd is eminently fitted for
the custody of the State Library.
His long training and familiarity
with office duty and methods, his ac-
curacy in business detail. his pleas
ant and affable manners, his long ac-
quaintance with courts and law books
and the State Library is primarily a
law library for use of the Court Of
Appeals, all this gives Col. Gadd

THE NIXON ESTATE.
Linus 4. Post, tho Missing Tacoma
Banker, Charged With Fraud.

TACOMA. Dec, l2-ISpeciai l-For a month
there has been much gossip about the estate of
the late Thomas l. Nixon, with which the
name OF L. E. Post has been freely used. Mr..
Post being absent. his side of the case could not
be had. He Is still absent in the East. Today
Mrs. Nixon began suit TO set aside the deed by
which the Nixon residence was conveyed to
Mr.. Post She also asks for rent at $40 per
no cash consideration was received by her
late husband FOR the transfer OF this property,
and in his deed Nixon is said to have wilIed it
to her. This charge, now in the form of an
action In law, has been the basis for much I'M
warranted discussion Of Mr.. Posts conduct,
especially since he left the city. Among Mrs
Nixon's citations is the following:
That said defendants claim the right to the
possession and ownership of said premises by
virtue OF a pretended deed. purporfing on its
face to have peen executed by said Thomas L.
Nixon aud Cora +. Nixon, dated on said Sth dav
OF February, lSS9. 10 the said Mary u. Post, for
pretended consideration of 5000. But plaintiffs
say that the said Cora 4. Nixon did not sign.
seal, acknowledge or deliver said pretended
deed to the said Mary d. Post, nor to any person
and that they did not then, there nor at any
other time authorize any one for her to sign her
name nor execute or deliver the same 10 any
one and that the said Cora L. Nixon had no
knowledge nor notice Of the execution or deliv-
ery OF said pretended deed at the time nor unit
alter the death of said Thomas l. Nixon.
Before p. m. the papers in Mrs. Nixon's othe
suit were Withdrawn. 1t appears that Mrs Post
has conveyed the property in dispute to T. V.
Caesar, who succeeds Mr.. Post as president OF
the Tacoma bank in which he was interested.

GERMANYIN FERMENT
Over the Army Bill, Anti-Semit-
ism and the Currency.
cAPRIW's POSITION sHAKY.
Judicial Powers Given to the Panama
Investigating Committee, Despits
tho Opposition ofthe Ministry.

BERLIN, Dec Notwithstanding the con-
viction of Rector Ahlwardt, the anti-Semlte,
who accused the Hebrew gunmaking firm OF
Lowe Il Co. of furnishing the army with deiec-
tive rifles, there seems some doubt in the minds
of certain members of she reichstag regarding
the quality OF the arms borne by the infantry.
At the session of the house today several ques-
tons were asked on the subject Caprivi said
that q majority of the rifles used by the army
were good a. regards pattern and execution He
added that the weapons were fully equal to the
requirements Of the present conditions OF war.
He included in his description of soldiers arms
the weapons manufactured by Lowe g. Co.
In the reichstag Count Meirbach, Conserva.
tive, asked the government to assist the oil.
metallists in the Brussels monetary conference.
Chancellor Caprivi replied that the German del
egases had been instructed not to give assent 70
any proposals that restricted Germany's right to
decide what should constitute her own cur
rency, and to declare that Germany was content
with her present system and would NOT
change it The chancellor said the Conserya-
tives were evidently trying to harness the cur
rency question and antiSemitism to tho
same car. The events that had &C.
CURED during the past few weeks
had caused him the greatest dismay.
If anti-semitism and bi-metallism were to bs
used as demagogic critics cries the government
would have to make q determined stand. The
currency question, the chancellor declared, be-
came more dangerous as material for popular
agitation the less it was understood. 1t would
be deplorable if the honorable members OF the
reichstag made their attitude on the
military bill dependent upon bi-metal-
lism and placed the latter question higher
than the question OF the defensive
power of Germany. The chancellor stated that
he wished to announce to the world that Ar
mott, one OF the German delegates to the confer
ence, was in no way connected with the German
government Csprivi concluded his remarks by
declaring that Germany would continue to cd
here to the gold standard.
Public feeling in the empire is on the verge of
an explosion, particularly il the kaiser insists
on retaining Caprivi. 1t will be remembered
that the kaiser formerly expressed determine
ton to keep Caprivi in spite OF anything that
might happen.

were made 70 several welt-known citizens, with
regard to their moral and business habi.A The
paper sold well, but the business men de-
nounced IL and its editor. Nelson Bennett for
babe its sale in the Tacoma hotel news stand,
aud other persons applied the boycott, the re-
suit being that Mr. Radebaugh has announced
his determination to remove the publication
Office to Olympia. Last week the paper was not
issued. Tonight the Nezos says:
There has been some considerable speculation
as TO why II. +. Radeb0ugh had discontinued
the publication OF his Neto Vest in this city
This speculation was the more earnest among
newspaper men who knew that Radebaugh had
already invested q considerable sum In the
preparation of the issue that should have ap-
peared last Saturday, and that a considerable
portion of the copy for that weeks issue was In
the printers hands and a considerable quantity
Of the matter already in type.
Mr.. Radebaughs published reason was the ue-
sire 20 get on neutral ground. he claiming tnae
the field OF the future activities OF his Journal
TO Nelss reporter. was the ''origina purpose OF
the Nese Wcst' when established, but that he
had allowed himself to ''get little on the

Just why Mr. Radebaugh wanted to seek reu-
trail ground is found in the following statement
OF facts made by Councilman John Snyder to
Neirs reporter saturday:

said he would, but he forgot to do it right away.

Here Councilman snyder laughed heartily to
show his appreciation OF the joke on Radebaugh,
and Councilman Grafton, who was nearer,
exclaimed that Mr.. Snyder had given up q
"mghty good item OF news that the people
would like to read"
There are some who shy that Radebaugh's
sheet in future will be far less personal Per-

dent of the Agricultural College.
NORTH YAKIMA, Dec. 12-tSpecial THE
board of regents CT the agricultural college met
here today, Beliinger, Smith and Lesh being
present Fellows and Conover are looked for
tomorrow. No business of any importance was
transacted at todays meeting, save passing upon
the files of letters received by the different
regents from persons DESTROYS OF succeeding
President Liliey, or from those recommending
them. IL is now certain that President Llley
will be removed tomorrow, if the action of the
board today means anything. All the regents
present voted to postpone action in the matter
until Conover arrives. Lesh, when seen by the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES reporter, said:
The man chosen TO succeed Iilley will have to
be man of education and ability. No one has
"pull' to help him. Either Brentnal, Of
Olympia, or Heston. OF Seattle, has probably the
most support.
Regarding Hestcn a very large humber of rec
concentrations were read. They came from tho
following sources: Ex-Gov Beaver, of Penn.
sylvania; Secretary of State Stone and Adjt.
Gen. Hastings. OF the same state; also from the
following officers of the Pennsylvania State
college: Trustee Knoche, ex- President Calder,
Profs. Halitton, Reeves, Britz, Burkhout and
Frear. Endorsements also came from the most
prominent educator in Pennsylvania, Dr.. Phil.
lips. and from many prominent Washington
school superintendents; also Superintendent
Bryan and Z. 8. Meany. Prof Hcston's candi-
dacy, with that Of the other less recommended
ones, will come up for action tomorrow.
The petition of the students, asking for the
retention of President Li!ley, was read, and
Smith offered the following resolution concern
Ing it, which was adopted:
RESOLVED, That the petition be received; that
We, the board Of regents of said college, will
exercise our best Judgment in the matter, doing
what we think is for the best interests of stu
dents as well as the college; that we appreciate
the esteem conveyed to us through the petition
as held by the students for the superintendent
OF the institution.
Everything tonight looks as though Heston,
of Seattle, would be Lilley's successor. The
latter is not here, physicians certificate of ILL
health being forwarded an excuse. Prot.
Bingham. of Tacoma, has withdrawn from the
contest for the. presidency. The board meets
= again tomorrow morning, when the whole mat
ter will be decided.
