FAIRS LAST WILL.
Mrs. Crayens Tells When 1t Was Writ
ten and Why 1t Was Held Back.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 19.-It now
turns out thatsthe reported latest will of
the late James G. Fair was left in charge
of Mrs. Lettie l.. Cravens, a principal in
the public schools, who was a great friend
of Senator Fair. The will was written in
the house of Mrs. Kaskind, with whom
Mrs Cravens was living, and in the pres
ence of both witnesses. Mrs. Cravens says
1t came about in this way: Senator Fair
had gone to visit her Their conversation
turned to wills and Senator Fair said that
his lawyers did not seem to get his will
just as he would like it, Fair made sew
eral other remarks, which led Mrs. Cravens
and have her as witness and that he make
a provision in the will for fund for the
support of school teachers who had been
teaching for twenty-five years or more to
all of which the late Senator Fair agreed
and sat down and wrote the most recent
document which has been presented to the
courts. The reason assigned for keeping
the new will 50 long in the background
Is that the custodian did not look at the date
OF the will when Fair died and when the
old Will was made public she thought it
was one of the later date.

remark about legacy to the pension fund

years at the same hotel with him and he

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Nor
gan, of Alabama, chairman of the foreign
relations committee, has remained in Wash

and is watching with interest the existing
foreign complications. Il do not know what

than what is said in the papers from time
to time. / am, of course, interested in the
situation in Cuba. If the revolutionists are
able to hold out year they will be able
to secure material assistance from persons
in this country, not only in the way of
money, but in men in spite of all efforts
to prevent it. There many men who
are ready to go into war for Cuba or
any other war and there will be no way
of keeping them out of it If the men who

The recent action of Great Britain in

terms. "Of all the grasping, cormorant

he, Great Britain easily outstrips the
most greedy. 1t seems to be not generally
known that extensions below Egypt have
now made her master of Africa and given
her through connections with the Cape
of Good Hope. BY these acts of aggres-

miles and her dominions have been tre-
mendously increased within year. These
aggressions have been going on all the time.

seven weeks, in redress for the expulsion
of Mr. Hatch. its consular agent from

these circumstances. it is thought in official

although it is usual to advise the embassa-

1t is probable that Embassador Bayard
will be instructed by cable to call the at

British ultimatum addressed to Nicaragua

A British steamer Sa1utes Spanish
War Shin OF Cuba.


PHILADELPHIA. March 19.-The Earn
line steamer Earnwood, Captain Rogers, ar
rived at Richmond to-day from st. Jago de
Cuba, the scene of the Cuban hostilities,
laden with a full cargo of iron ore, but the
ship, which flies the British flag, was in
no way molested by the Spanish authorities
While on the outbound passage, when eight
miles east of Guantanamo, on March 10, she
was hailed by the Spanish torpedo catcher,
Nueva Espana, but hove to, saluted and
passed on about her business A large num-
ber of troops from Spain were expected to
arrive at st. Jago shortly after the Earn
wood left, and the general belief in st.
Jago is that the insurrection will be pro-
longed for some time, but Will not be
crowned with success. The authorities,
when Captain Rogers left, were much
alarmed, and were keeping a sharp lookout
for two leaders who were said to be en-
route from San Domingo. They would try
and land somewhere on the coast, possibly
to the westward of ST. Jago, and the coast
was being patrolled by gunboats. Just
before we left, said Rogers, "the Span
ish troops captured boat containing two
Germans, who are held on suspicion of
having landed leaders of the insurrection
on the Cuban shores. ST. Jago is now un-
der martial law, the civil authorities hav-
ing handed over the reins to the govern
ment.'

DECISION AGAINST A TRUST.
Ruling That Strikes the United States
CaDsule COmuany,


DETROIT March 19.--Judge Severens. in
the United States District Court to-day,
rendered an important decision bearing on
the Sherman anti-trust law. About a year
ago the Merz (Warren, Mich.) and National
Capsule Companies entered into an agree
ment to pool their interests and to carry
on the business of manufacturing gelatine
shells for capsules as one institution under
the style of the United States Capsule
Company. Although the agreement had
been entered into the Merz Capsule Com
pany baked and refused TO go further
into the consolidated enterprise. The cause
of the disaffection was due to the election
of certain members of the other companies
to the management of the new and also
to their contention that the new company
would practically control the manufacture
of gelatine shells, or capsules. They filed
bill to perretually restrain the United
States company from doing business on the
ground that it was an enterprise to COM
mand the trade, put up prices and bar
competitors out of the business. The de-
fense was that the new company was not
formed to raise prices, but was designed to
lessen the cost of production, stop ruinous
competition and to yield better product
Judge Severens takes the position that the
trust was formed in violation of the laws
of the. State of Michigan well as of the
act of Congress.

MEN IN SHORT SKIRTS.
Radical and Unique suggestion of a
Chicago Dress Reformer.

CHICAGO, March 19.--Dr. Sarah Hackett
Stevenson, one of the best known physicians
in Chicago, has made unique sugges-
tion regarding the dress reform movement.
She would put men in skirts. In an inter-
view to-day she advocated women's skirts
reaching only to the ankles, declaring that
sweeping skirts spread disease, notably the
bacilli of tuberculosis from expectorations
in the cars and streets. Continuing she
said: by the way, there is not single
part I believe men would look better if
they wore skirts. In fact, men did wear
skirts in the long ago. When men wear
short skirts the stage how much more
graceful they appear. In fact. / think
change in mems attire is to be commended
and nothing would be :s.ore graceful for
evening wear than knee breeches. Harriet

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The Fall Riv-
er dispatch was shown to Mgr. Satolli by
his assistant, DIR. Rocker, who subsequently
explained the situation thus: Mgr. Sa-
teIi has written to Bishop HarKins of
Providence. r. L., suggesting that the facts
are so exceptional in the Fall River cases
that it woula be we'll if the bishop saw fit
to suspend temporarily the application of
the rule relative to K. of p. members. The
exceptional circumstances. as stated to
Mgr Satoln, are that two members of
Fall River lodge are about to die. If they
leave the lodge they forfeit their insurance
money, and if they remain in it they cannot
receive the sacraments. Mgr Satolli sug-
gested that it would be proper 50 to modify
the rule as to permit these Two members
to have their insurance without being de-
barred from the Sacraments. 1t also ap-
peared that the two Fall River lodges were
exceptional in being made up entirely of
Catholics. For this reason, Mgr. Satoli
suggested that it might be desirable to sus-
pend the rule in order that members might
have the benefit of Easter sacraments. The
suspension is not of a general character,
and is due entirely to the special circum-
stances at Fall River. Mgr. Satolli also
wishes 1t understood that he merely advised
Bishop Harkins that the facts warranted
temporary suspension.
