Ii it be true that Minister Willis.shas
asked the Provisional Government to
resign he must have done SO subsequent
to the Presidents message turning the
whole matter over to Congress. Thus
he has put the administration in the
discrediuable plight of intriguing to re-
store the queen after it had announ ced
to Congress that it had done with that
business. Willis is likely to become the
scapegoat for this blunder.

SUSTAINED THE DECISION.
Final Decision in q Suit for q Hutchinson
Estate.

| FIn3I DECISION In suit Tor q hutchinson
Estate.
| TOPEKA, Kan, March 14.-Information
from Washington is that the United
| States supreme court has sustained the
| decision of the Kansas supreme court
in the case of Caldwell VS. Miller, in
volving quarter section of land in the
town of Hutchinson. The land in
question was at one time valued at
nearly 100000 The suit turned
On the legal Interpretation of
the word ''heirs" Robert Titus,
the father-in-law of ID. b. Miller,
| went to the war of 1912, leaving wife
and child. He neglected to return to
his family and soon after remarked
| without securing divorce. He settled
! on the quarter section, now a part of
Hutchinson, but died before securing
full possession. Miller, who married a
daughter of the second wife, bought
the interests of the legitimate children
of Titus and then sold the track to the
Hutchinson Investment Co.
At this point Caldwell, one of the
heirs of the illegitimate children by
Titus second wife, bought the claims
of all the illegitimate children except
that of Miller, who refused to sell.
Suit was then brought for Miller's
share, 13-2Sths of the property. The
district court gave Miller the decision
on the ground that the common law,
which only recognized legitimate
children, should govern. The
Kansas supreme court reversed
the decision on the plea that
the Kansas statutes provided that lille
gitimate children should be given title
when recognized by the father. and
this, Caldwell claimed, had been done.
Thus the deed to the investment COM
pany, which was based on the purchase
of the interests of the legitimate chill
dren, is void and the property must be
returned. Mrs ID. B. Miller, widow of
D. 3 Miller. still lives in Hutchinson

TOPEKA. Kan, March flowing ia

tions by wolves, coyotes. wild cats and
foxes, the Kansas improved stock
breeders at their annual meeting in
January appointed q committee to
work for such legislation as would
| authorize a higher bounty, at least for
wolf scalps-the amended law of 1883
authorizing county commissioners to
pay not to exceed So for each scalp. To
aid the committees, at least to the eX-
tent of knowing definitely what has
been done under the new law, Secre-
tary Coburn, of the state board of agri.
culture. has interviewed each one of
the county clerks in the state as to the
amount expended bv his county in each
of the four years mentioned toward the
determination of the predatory prowl-
ers.
From the los counties 96 reports were
received and counties failed or de-
slined to report. Seventy-three paid
and 23 have not paid bounties. In
1890, SO counties paid 11.9iO; in 1891, IS
.ounties paid SIS, 2SS; in 1892. 81 coun-
ties paid S14, 931, and in 1898, 65 counties
paid $17, 594. The total amount paid in
the four years by 73 counties is $50, 66S.
The average amount paid by The 50
paying counties in 1890 was 1929; in 1891
by So counties was 1862; in 1892 by 81
counties was 1862, and in 1898 by 65
counties was s27l. The average paid
in each of the four years by the 73
counties was ss17.
The largest sum expended has been
by Ford county which in 1S91-92 paid
out 81. 443. 05; Clark county is second in
The list and has invested So, $3.50, and
Trego paid So, 1890. Cheyenne headed
the list in 1898 with 81, ,044, while Clark
paid 81 ,SSS. so, or more than three times
as much as was paid by any other
county except Cheyenne.
The foregoing figures include the
bounties paid on few fox, wild cat
and rabbit scalps but in the main rep
resent wolves or coyotes In the vari-
ous counties the amounts per scalp
have been so cents for cubs and from
81 to So for grown wolves. Secretary
Coburn says that the assessors last year
reported $4,000 dogs in the state and
he thinks if these were what they
ought to be and used to the best ad-
vantage there would be less need to
pay bounties and fewer varmints on
which to pay them.

ST. LOUIS, March Thames II. Brit
ton. formerly mayor of this city and at
one time president of the State Bank
of Missouri, buenow a citizen of New
York, was arrested here yesterday by
a United States marshal, charged with
being accessory to an embezzlement by
