EMPEROR WILLIAMS SPEECH.
Ru Gable to the United Press.


ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 8, 1894. The speech
made by Emperor William at the recent
Parliamentary dinner given by Chancellor
Won Caprivi, in which he urges the necessity
of the approval by the Reichstag of the
Russo German commercial treaty as,
the best means of preserving friendly relar
tions between Germany and Russia, has given
much satisfaction here. The Nouoe Vrenlya
declares that the speech was a
forcible utterance, and that it
has rendered ipestimable service, not
merely to the economic welfare of Germany,
but as an aid in the preservation of the tran
guilty of Europe, which is sorely needed in
order that the peaceful task of developing
the economic prosperity of the nations may
be continued.

FATHER ooRRIGANs OLD WILL
Its Discovery Causes Surprise to the
Contesting Heirs.


An old will of the late Rev. Patrick Cor
rigan was discovered by his relatives among
his effects. 1t antedates that made on his
deathbed several years. By its terms he
leaves his property to the Church of Our
Lady of Grace, and there is a peremp-
tory demand to his heirs to stop
all proceedings at law to test the
validity of his will. Since the latest will is
now being contested the discovery of the
earlier document puts a new phase on the
litigation.
Mr.. Minturn the dead priests counsel was
notified of the discovery, and he said
that until the later will is
proved valid, this will just found
becomes operative. Before any Of these con-
testants can get a dollar of the bequests,
they must first upset the deathbed will and
then attack the earlier one, a situation
which means prolonged series Of litigation.
Having upset the death-bed will, the estate
goes to the church Then the heirs must be-
gin all over again.
Mr.. Minturn declares that the last will
will be admitted to probate in few days
without opposition.
