From the New York Evening Post.
A recent dispatch from San Francisco
makes the following statements concerning
the troubles about the Fair estate:
The dilemma of the late millionaire Fairs
children is probably unique in law. The
son is ready to contest his fathers will on
the ground of undue influence and mental
incapacity at the time 1t was drawn, and
the daughters, while taking no part in this
contest, will privately guarantee their
brother against loss should his attempt
fail. But at outset they are met by the
refusal of the executors to produce the
other wills known to be among Fairs pa
pers. The old millionaire had mania for
making Wills and if he had lived few
days longer he would have added another
testament to his collection. The position
of the contestant is this: Should he prove
that the will which the executors desire to
probate is void, they may spring another
document from their collection which 1t
may be impossible to overthrow. Inc
problem is a knotty one, but the strenu-
Gus objection of the children to compare
tive strangers handling their fathers Tor
tune as a trust will probably lead them TO
risk everything to break his Will. BY the
terms of the will they are at the mercy OF
men whom Fair never trusted with his Sc
crets and their trust has more hateful
features than the English entail.

THE PULLMAN CAR co.
Argument In the Quo WarrantO Case
Mt Chicago.

Argument In the Quo Warranto Case
ut Chicago.
Attorney General Moloney's quo war
ranto proceedings directed against the Pull
man Palace Car Company occupied the at
tention of Judge Baker in Chicago yester-
day. The lengthy information filed by the
attorney general was first read.
To this information the defendant COM
pany had, through its attorneys, filed in
answer, five separate pleadings, each in
turn demurred to by the attorney general
as bad and insufficient answers.
At the conclusion of the reading Of the
information, counsel for the company in
troduced a sixth plea, which was a re-
statement Of the substance Of the other
pleas, dealt with somewhat more argu-
tentatively and accurately. This new
plea was promptly demurred to: The an
swer denied but few Of the allegations. but
set out to justify the actions Of the COM
pany.
The main argument of the defendants
plea was that since 1880 all the acts of
the defendant company had been well
known to the people; that in 1891 a commit
tee of the legislature had been appointed
to ascertain the holdings of the company
to see if the corporation had been properly
taxed and that this committees report
had been accepted; that in these fourteen
years the acts of the company had been
either acquiesced in or waived, and it was
unfair and unjust to come forth at this
late date with a quo warranto proceeding.
The entire afternoon was consumed by
the attorney general in his argument in
support of his demurrer. He Will continue
the argument today.

EX-CASHIER HUGHES ARRESTED.
Charged With Taking Lima National
Bank Funds.

A deputy United States marshal arrested
and brought to Toledo yesterday Charles
NJ. Hughes, jr., ex-cashier OF the First Ma
tional Bank of Lima, on the charge of mis-
appropriation Of $4,000 of the bank 8
funds. Hughes was released on bond for
his appearance Friday before the United
States commissioner.
This is the bank in which Senator Brice
is largely interested. The suit Is brought
by a stockhclder, Walter linn, OF Column
bus The bank loaned large sums to the
Munroe Manufacturing Company Of Lima,
which failed. An assessment of 100 per
cent had to be made on the bank stock
holders, and Hughes was replaced by an
other cashier linn refused to pay up and
caused Hughes arrest. Mr.. Brice's friends
stand by Hughes, and say that the loans
to the Munroe company were merely an
error of Judgment on his part and that
he did not profit in any way thereby.

HARRY HAYWARD's TRIAL,
B1fxt May BE Brought Forward an
the Principal Witness.

When Michael Eckes. the first juror in
the Hayward murder trial at Minneapolis
yesterday, was placed on the stand in the
Hayward case there was a very marked
change in the manner of questioning by
the defense. Mr.. Eckes was very severely
examined. but his answers to every ques-
ton were such as to preclude the possf-
bility of any but a peremptory challenge.
The defense had none to offer, the Juror
was satisfactory to Mr.. Nye, and he was
sworn in.
1t is becoming evident that the relations
between the defense in the Blixt case and
the prosecution in the Hayward case are
close. The attorney for Biixt was in close
conference with the states attorney before
court opened
These conferences and other circum-
stances have led to the positive assertion
in some quarters that Blixt is to be
brought into court Immediately after the
opening of the case; that he will then
change his plea to guilty. and be put on
the stand at once as the principal witness
against Hayward.

Some Interesting Bits Of Information
for the Housewife.
THE LATEST ENGLISH HOP REPORT.
Experiments In Planting Seed Peta-
toes; The small Potatoes showed
the Poorest Results - Pertinent
Pointers about Lave stock.

The latest English reports seem to show
that there is a slight advance for good
grades Of hops owing to the continued de-
mand for present consumption and the
increasing scarcity. On the other hand
the low grade qualities are in little de-
mand and the prices are unaltered. Le-
Mays report of Feb. 4th il as follows
''The consumptive trade still continues,
English hops being the cheapest in the
world. Pacifcs still sell readily at rather
advanced rates. American advices show
that stocks OF the qualities such as are
exported to this country are short, and
holders are expecting higher values than
are even procurable at the present mo-
ment. Continentals are also scarce and
much wanted for home trade, and as
consequence few of them are being sent
to this country. English growers who
still have hops to sell and are able to hold
out. seem inclined to do SO, as they be-
lieve that better prices will be obtainable
in the near future.

PAIRING Potato Seed.

Prof. Henry several years ago conduct
ed series of experiments in the prepa-
ration OF seed potatoes. The experiments
included seed OF thin pairing, one eye to
a piece; cutting to single eyes, whole
potatoes, seed ends and stem ends, all
received the same culture. The result
with the thin parings are interesting as
showing how good yield of potatoes may
be obtained by planting parings. When
potatoes are cheap, the farmer can better
afford to plant greater weight OF seed
potatoes than to take the time to cut into
very small pieces. Futher experiments
at the Wisconsin station showed that as
between cuttings and whole tubers, the
largest marketable yield came from the
heaviest cutting, though the increase in
the yield was by no means in proportion
to the increase OF seed. The proportion
OF small potatoes increased with the in
crease of seed. The smaller whole POI
tato gave inferior results as compared
with the smaller cuttings. The hills we're
thirty-eight inches apart each way. The
trials with hills as compared with drill
planting showed that no loss of yield fol-
lowed planting in hills. The hills were
three feet apart each way, and in the last
experiments the hill received two two-eye
cuttings of Rose Seeding potato. The
drills were also three feet apart, single
two-eye cuttings ofthe same variety being
placed eighteen inches apart.
