Harrison's message in reply to an appeal
from the people of that town. The Presi-
dent says: THE governor of Your state
made call upon me in conformity with
the Constitution for aid to sup
press domestic violence and threat
ened bloodshed. l could not know
anything of the situation except as stated
by him and could not refuse aid. The pris-
oners will, as soon as the state authorities
are prepared to receive them, be turned
over to the civil authorities and our con-
nection with tho matter will end, unless
further called upon to aid the state
authorities in preserving the peace. l do
not doubt the executive ard judicial au-
thorities of your state will, without fear or
favor, bring TO trial and punishment those
who have violated the law. Nothing will
be done to shield any guilty persons. My
counsel, as your fellow citizen, is to
use every effort to sllay the ex-
element and proceed in all things
peaceably and upon lawful lines. I will,
of course, see any representation you may
send, but you viii see that can do nothing
except to act with the state authorities to
prevent violence. Everything else rests
with the state authorities.

The people of Buffalo are much pleased
with the Presidents reply.

Upper the commons to-day, In committee
of the whole, passed bill giving the gov

The Proposed International Monetary Confer.


WASHINGTON, April 22.-The published
reports that the President had practically
completed arrangements looking to an in
ternational monetary conference to be held
early next summer, and that invitations
had been issued to foreign governments to
participate therein, are not received with
any display of enthusiasm by the silver
Senator'S. Senator Stewart was outspokeu
in characteriz!ng the alleged plan as an
''electioneering Device" absolutely devoid
of any honest purpose to carry out the ex-
monetization of silver Senator Teller
does not see how the conference can have
any practical results in view of the insur-
mountable limitation to be placed upon the
conference, according to reports. II is
quite clear none of the Republican silver
Senators have been taken into the conf
dence of the administration on this latest
alleged project.
One of them says he knew some such
plan was in contemplation, that this gov
eminent had already made overtures to
the governments of European countries
looking to conference, but as he had been
informed before any definite proposition
was submitted to the parties to the confer
ence, the silver Senators would first be
consulted, was surprised to read that al
ready there had been a practical agreement
which absolutely negatived any idea that
the resul5 of the conference would be, as it
was intended by Congress to be the restor-
alton of silver to its place as money metal.
This Senator limited at the administration
and not Great Britain, as reported really
secured the alleged limitation of the subject
TO be passed upon by the conference to the
consideration of means to secure an en-
larged use of silver as money and prevented
consideration of the question of the lest
means of securing the free coinage of sill
yer. He held, and other silver Senators
entertained the same belief, the conference
would come to nothing unless allowed tt
consider the free coinage question.

The Dunton Will.

CHICGo, April 22.-Another case came
up, in which DR.. Henry Martyr Scudder,
against whom the charge of causing the
death OF his mother-in-law, Mrs. Dunton,
is pending, is interested. 1t has reference
to the second will, purporung to have been
made by Mrs. Dunton, and which her hus-
band and attorney say is a bogus one,
drawn by DR.. Scuddr. Dunton's attorneys
this afternoon filed a petition in the probate
court setting forth the facts in regard to
the prior will and asking that the Judge
might take such action in regard TO the
second document as he deemed proper. The
prior will was admitted to probate shortly
after Mrs. Dunton's death. In it a large
portion of the estate is devised to Scud-
der's wife and the remainder. to relations.
The second will, which the attorneys al
leges is prepared and'the signature thereto
forged by Scudder, leaves the whole estate
to his wife.
Celia Wallace, one of the servants, whose
name is signed as a witness in the will
testified in court this afternoon, the paper
was not the one she signed. 1t was another
paper which DR.. Scudder asked her to sign
and when she did so Mrs. Dunton's name
was not signed to it. Scu6der explained to
her the paper she signed in the presence of
Mrs. DuntoD was signed enormously,
hence the substitution of the other. He
further told her not to tell Mrs. Dunton
about the second signature, lest in her
weak condition it should worry her.
Hannah Johnson, another domestic, tes-
titled to seeing the Wallace girl sign the
paper, saying it was folded so the writing
could rot be seen. She added Mrs. Dun
ton, before her death, told her her resi-
dence was to go to Miss Parker and wanted
her to remember if there was any trouble
about ii.
Experts testified the signature on the
second document was evidently written by
different hand than that which signed
Mrs. Dunton's first will. In the criminal
court to-day the case against Scudder was
continued until May 4.
