a CANAL PRACTICABLE.

In the last congress the senate ADOPT 1.
ed the following amendment to the
river and harbor bill. but it was not
agreed to in the house, viz: "For ex-
animation and survey for the location
of canal connecting Lake Superior
and the Mississippi river, $4,000; and
the engineers making said examination
and survey shall report the most feast
BILE route for such canal, either by way
of the st. Croix, Rum or upper MissiS-
sippi rivers" The last legislature of
Minnesota passed memorial to con-
gress in favor of this appropriation, and
the chamber of commerce has repeat
eddy done the same. There are, how
ever, some people here who think that
because the Mississippi river at st.
Paul is seventy feet higher than Lake
Superior such a canal would not be
practicable. A difference in altitude,
however, between the river and lake
cuts no figure. The practicability of
canal depends upon whether enough
water to feed it can be obtained at the
point OF highest elevation between the
lake and river. Maj. Jones, of the corps
of United States engineers, is a per-
fectiy competent authority as to the
practicaDIlity of such canal, and he
has given favorable opinion in the
following letter to the chamber of COM
merce:

The question may be asked, why does
not the city of st. Paul itself or It's citi-
zens cause the survey TO be made? Be-
cause congress would not recognize any
but an official survey by government
engineers. The canal would he ma
tional work, which the United States
would have to pay for. and the first step
must be an official survey. 1t IS to he
hoped. therefore. that the Minnesota

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-The Evening Post

president of the American Sugar Com
pany, that the refineries must be shut
down for awhile owing TO depression in
the trade, due 10 legislation, was discussed
to-day in business and labor circles. The
modified announcement made by Mr..

would be laid off was regarded as an indi-
cation of less fixed purpose than was in
dicated In the declaration of the company's

their statements ii appeared that about
5000 of the 1900 men usually kept busy
there were idle to-day. They did not
know how long this would last. When
they were discharged on Wednesday night
they understood that they would resume
again on Sunday night. Others said that
so far as they knew the refneries were not

HER MIND UNSOUND.
Decision BY the Jury in the Pratt
Will Case.
1t Is a Victory for the Contestants,
but the End Has Not
Come Yet.

Los ANGELES, Nov. 3O.-The celebrated
will contest in the estate of Anna A.
Pratt, deceased, came TO a conclusion in
Judge Clark's court this morning. The
verdict of the jury was unanimous and in
effect breaks the will and codicil that
General Mansfield and Mrs. Cross nd
Mrs. Mansfield tried to have allowed as
Mrs. Pratts will.
While the jury found that the will and
codicil were entirely in the hand writing
of Mrs. Pratt, the issue of unsound mind
was found against the will and its proba re
will be denied.
According to the allegations of the con-
ties ants, who, In the action, have been
Mrs. Lucy Goodspeed of San Francisco,
daughter of the testatrix, and the two
children of Charles A. Pratt. deceased, it
was the heavy shrinkage IN land values
that has been the indirect cause of all the
litigation. To provide against certain be-
quests being reduced pro rata. as might
have bean the case, four pages OF the will
executed by Anna A. Pratt in 1881 were
Withdrawn. These referred to the be-
quests of $250,0O0 to each of the two chill
dren. The Mansfield legacies, aggr egating
$170.000 still remained intact.
In 1884 Mrs. Pratt drew up another will,
revoking the one of 1881. but this docu-
ment, it was claimed, had mysterious / y
disappeared. The Mansfield heirs con-
tended that codicil drawn by Mrs. Pratt
in 1885 and attached to the will Of 1881 re-
vved that document, even if there had
been another one made in 1884, and that
will, with its pages withdrawn and others
intsrpoIated. has been the legal bone OF
contention throughout the case. This
codicl, contestants claimed, was forgery,
perpetrated for the purpose of defeatng
lhs wishes of the decedent, but that, even
If authentic, it would still be invalid for
the reason that Mrs. Pratt was Of unsound
mind at the time ii is purported to have
been drawn.
1t is probable that motion for new
trial will be made at once, and every effort
to sustain the will put forth.

BILE conflict, and last night had caucus at
which they passed resolutions disclaimiDg
any responsibility for any lawessness that
may occur. There is fear that some crank,
laboring under excitement, may attempt
to assassinate Oates or Jones, and extra
precautions will be taken to prevent it.
A prominent leader of the Populists,
Hon. Frank Baltzell, editor of the Al
liance-Herald, who is in position to
speak for Kolb. said to-day that he did not
expect any overt acts or revolutionary
course by the PEOPLES party followers for
the reason that the parry has spoken
against it and everything is unfavorable
for such a movement. Many regard the
usurpston of Oates as wrong which will
justify any resistance to prevent its con-
summation but they do not intend to re-
sort to any sort of violence. Nearly every
prominent man in the movement is op-
posed 10 any violence and all of those in
authority oppose it.
