NOW A MILLIONAIRE.
Terms of Agreement Between Charles
l.. Fair and HIS Sisters.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2.-Charles l.
Fair is millionaire in fact TO acquire
this capital he has disposed of all his in
tersst in his mothers estate. which now
belongs wholly to his sisters Mrs. Oelrichs
and Miss Virginia Fair. In exchange for
his surrender he received 100000 in cash
and securities, and satisfactory covenants
from his two sisters for similar amount,
payable in April, 1897. The first half mil
lion was paid in slOoe0O cash and the
balance in productive gilt-edged securities.
1t was after this agreement had been
reached that Fairs attorneys dismissed the
suit which tied up his mothers estate.
When the court decided that Charles Fair
could not get the s5O0000 which had been
bequeathed to his brother James, because
it was not payable until 1897, Charles was
in a rather bad way. About this time
Charles and his father became reconciled
and the dead seqaGs m b aae m hse ne on1s The

but advanced him money to enable him to

father that the estate Of Mrs. Fair was
tied up and that he voluntarily relinquished
his monthly allowance of $1,000 from that
source. Now the suit will be dismissed

feature developed recently is the inconsist-

he was counseling Charles and expressing
his disapproval Of trusts, and of '.strang-
era and irresponsible people being given
such power to handle other peoples money
he continually admonished his son to man
age his own inheritance. The first money

Naval Appropriation Bill Considered

-Gorman's Plea for Economy.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The near ap-
proach of the close of Congress manifested
itself to-day in crowded Senate galleries,
eager claimants about the corridors and
the bAstle and confusion of important
measures hurriedy handled. The Senate
worked industriously throughout the day.
and, although the naval appropriation bill
invited flights of oratory on our new navy,
the demands of time reduced this to a
minimum and made rapid progress possi-
BILE. 1t was kept steadily before the Sen
ate throughout the day, and again at the
night session, with determination not to
lay it aside until passed. There were con-
slant interruptions, however, as confer
ence committees reported their progress on
reconciling differences on pending bills be-
tween the Senate and House. Early in the
day the agricultural ana Notifications bills
were finally agreed to and made ready for
the Presidents signature The differences
between the House on the Indian bill were
partially reconciled. Five others besides
the naval bill are yet to have differences
harmonized-
At the outset of the debate ON the naval
bill an effort was made to defeat the plan
of reduction made by the appropriations
committee by which the House bill was cut
ships reduced from three to two. After a
sharp debate, in which the needs of a
strong navy were discussed, the committee
was sustained. The speech of Mr. Hill was
notable in urging that the United States
had won her greatest achievements without
a navy and usually by diplomacy and rea-
son. instead of cannon balls and force,
Mr.. German took occasion during the day
