disclosure Of no one day has equaled the
discoveries Of fraud made Today. Proof

blocks OF fifty by the officers who count

election officers from thieves. Officers

There Nay be . Contest Over Fairs
Will After All.
sAx Francisco, January 1.-The will
Of late ex-senator Fair will come up for
probate, and should NO compromise be
made between the executors and heirs
the latter according to report are likely
to contest it. The only way to break
the will lie to prove that the teststor was
of unsound mind or was unduly influ-
enced when making it. The physicians
who made the autopsy upon the body OF
Fair have not yet made any detailed
public reports Of their examination.
They have stated that the causes OF
death were diabetes and Bright's dis
ease. They said little about the condi-
ton OF the brain except that it exceeded
the average weight. The question Of
sanity promises to enter chiefly into .
contest over the will.

November, and happened to b in Bitlis
during the disturbances in the eassoun
district. It IL absolutely false that

scribes ~ the least educated and intel
ligent Of those in Turkey and very diff
ferent from their fellows in Van and
Bitlis. He thinks they are little better
than the Kurds. The disturbances
arose from quarrels and raids of the
Armenians, he says, and developed until
the Armenians mustered force OF 8, 900,
intent either upon reprisals on the Kurds
or revolution. The troops twice encoun-
tered this force August n, killing 800 Of
them in an open fight.
