KEY WEST, Fla, April 29.-Advices

under her common law marriage with
Nehimlah Hulett. Judge Moer handed
down decision to that effect Satur-
day. The case came up on two appeals
from the probate court by Mrs. Hulett,
one from the order of the. probate court
refusing to vacate a former order ad-
mittng to probate the will of Nehimiah
Hulett, and the other from an order re-
fusing to set aside the homestead to her
as his widow. Mrs. Hulett was HUI
lett's housekeeper, and after his
death she claimed to have been
married to him, basing her
claim upon marriage contract
alleged to be signed by both. The two
cases were combined and presented to
q jury on the issue of whether or not
the contract was in fact executed by
Hulett A long and interesting trial
ensued, and, Dec. 1, the jury found
that the contract was genuine. Then
the case as it stood was argued before
Judge Moer and submitted to him in
February. His decision is favorable to
Mrs. Hulett in both appeals, and not
only gives her q dowry right to the
homestead, but sets aside the will and
gives her the whole estate.

USE BOTH GOLD AND SILVER
One Metal Expected to Just
Balance the Other in
Fluctuation.

DETROIT, April 29.-The Tribune
(Rep.) publishes an editorial leader
which will declare in favor OF the solu-
ton of the present money question by
the issuance of a new dollar to be COM
posed of proportional parts Of gold and
silver. The article quotes the national
platforms of 1883 and 1892 in favor OF
bimetallism and points out the dangers
of practical silver monometallism
through the throwing open of the mints
to unlimited coinage. Continuing The
Tribune advocates the composite dollar
as a measure easiest to effect and with
the least disturbance to business of any
plan suggested. 1t proposes:
"That all existing coi.age laws be re.
pealed and that there be enacted law
creating a new A1neri' an dollar, which
should become tho standard coin of the
nation, this dollar to be composed Of
206A grains or standard silver and
IL 9-lO grams OF standard gold, fused
together and struck into handsome
coin about t.ls SIZE OF the present half
dollar.
''The coin would be Of absolutely
stable value, for in case of disparity at
any time in the commercial va4ue OF
silver, what was lost by the deprecla-
ton of one me,al would be made up by
the exactly corresponding appreciation
of the other.'
AS to the question whether the pro.
posed dollar would be suitable for ex-
port, The Tribune says: 1t would not
be necessary to export the coin while
uncoined gold could be secured which
would be just as available. II at any
time it became necessary to separate
the gold from the silver it could be
done at the United States mint at a cost
of less than per cent. This very cost
would be a precaut on against the ex-
port of coin while uncoined bullion was
attainable,

SENATOR MoReAN's OPINION.
Nicaragua's Right to Close the Port Of

Nicaragua's Right to Close the Port of
~ Corinto Untloubted. .,
WASHINGTON, April 29.-In speaking
of the action of Nicaragua in making
Corinto a closed port Senator Morgan
said: ..s
"Nicaragua's right to close the port
is undoubted. Every nation has the
power to designate orts of entry and
to change them at will. To land goods
at Corinto while it is closed would be
smuggling, and the payment OF duties
TO the British authorities would not
alter the fact. AS soon as the goods
were taken into the interior the
Nicaraguan forces would seize them
and either confiscate them or compel
the payment of fresh duties and would
be perfectly justified in doing so: She
could not exclude our goods because
our treaty with her prevents it, but she
could exclude Great Britain's because
the latter has made war on her, and
thus has abrogated all treaties be-
tween Them"

represented to the British foreign office
that Nicaragua, if given two weeks ad-
ditional time from the expiration OF the

would meet Great Britain's demand
for the payment Of el5, 900 indemnity
for the expulsion Of Pro- Consul Hatch.
Lord Kimberly acceded to this and as it
was presumed that tho, state depart
ment at Washington was acting for
Nicaragua it was thought that the in
cident would be closed without further
complications. But as Nicaragua re-
fused at the last moment to acquiesce
in this arrangement the original plan of
occupying Corinto was carried out.

sum of money which is not owed, in
absolute disregard Of international

Sensation Caused by Statements Made by
Hon. John Mayo Palmer.
CHICAGO, April 29.--Thes most sensa-
stionl politicBl deyelo opment for manya
day in Chicago, if not in the entire
West has been made public. The com,
ing Democratic convention in Illinois,
will, beyond all doubt, declare for free
silver without international agreement
of any kind, and the movement is OF
such strength that other Western and
Southern States will be prevented with
great difficulty, if at all, from following
the lead of Illinois. AS party, the
Democracy OF Illinois is doomed to dis
organization. The authority for these
statements is Hon. John Mayo
Palmer, corporation counsel Of Chi
cago, and one of the best known Demo-
Gratis in the state. He is not free
silver man. On the contrary he has
reputation with the more pronounced
silver element as decided "gold bug"
Mr.. Palmer is the son Of United States
Senator Palmer, who has been leading
the money fight for the national admin
istration in Illinois. The statements
were made in an interview and the
news caused
Widespread Comment and Speculation.
Mr.. Palmer returned to Chicago from
the state capital. He said:
''The sentiment in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver at the
ratio of 16 to l, without international
conference or agreement, seems to
have taken complete possession Of
the Democracy of Illinois outside Of
Cook county. conferred with men Of

Republicans as well as Democrats, I

times the lookers-on see more of the
game than the players. I met old
friends with whom 1 could talk conf
dentially, and got the impression that
while there is very strong and re-
spectacle sentiment throughout the
state in opposition to this currency
theory, yet the opponents Of 16 to 1,
are without organization, apparently
without any ambition to succeed, and
are singularly silent, while the silver
