The ALLIANCIA AFFAIR
Nuns the Word With the Big MOgulS
al Washington.
THEY REFUSE TO DISCUSS 1T
The President, Gresham and Car
Isle Talk IL over and Give Out
That No serious trouble
Is Expected.

WASHINGTON, March is.-An inpene-
trabIe mystery surrounds the negotiations
between the state department and the
Spanish government on the AlIancia
affair. Ii seems to have been borne in
upon officials of the state department
that in the present state of public feeling
better progress can be made toward
peaceful settlement of the question by
keeping various notes secret than by
giving publicity to them before a conclu-
sion has been reached. The only response
to definite inquiries that can be obi aimed
is positive refusal to discuss the sub
iect IN any aspect and whether or not any
action has yet been taken by the Spanish
government in the direction of
issuing instructions to its naval officers
to refrain from further interference with
American shipping will probably be
learned first from Havana from which
point the order Will be distributed.
President Cleveland conferred at noon
to-day with Secretary Gresham and Sec
retary Carlisle. The Alliancia affair was
gone over and the statement is made that
the present aspect of the subject is such
as to give assurance that there will be no
trouble of a serious character between
the United States and Spain.

The Supreme COur Dismisses the Oak
land Water Front Case.
WASHINGTON. March 1s.-Chief Justice
Fuller to-day delivered an opinion dis
missing the bill in equity brought by the
state of California VS.. the Southern Pa
cific Railroad company, involving the
ownership of the Oakland water front for
want of original jurisdiction. This dis
position of the case was made necessary
by the conclusion reached by the court
that as there are parties interested in the
disposition of it, such as the town OF
Oakland and the Water Front company,
who do appear as parties to the present
suit, 1t was not equitable finally to adju-
dictate the case unless these interests were
represented in the suit. Justice Fuller
stated that while the rights of the town
and the Water Front company would not
be technically determined, they would be
effectually passed upon. With the mat
ter placed in this light the next question
10 be decided was whether the supreme
court had rightful jurisdiction and in
reaching this conclusion, the opinion dis
cussed at some length the provisions of
the constitution comforting original juris-
diction.

A NEW WILL Is FOUND
A Fresh Sensation In the Fight for
Fairs Millions.
NICE FOR THE CHILDREN
Attorneys for the Executors Init
mate 1t Is a Forgery-Under Its
Terms Charley Fair Gets a
Cash stake at once.

SAN Francisco, March 1S.-The legal
squabbe over the Si0,OOO,OJOO left by the
late bonanza" king, James G.. Fair. de-
veloped a fresh sensation to-day. What
purports to be later will than the one
previously offered for probate was intro
duced into the case. The will first pro-
duced, it will be remembere l. was stolen
from the county clerks office. and III
order that the document might be pro-
bated Judge Slack had finally ruled that n
certified copy of the will might be substi-
tuted. Upon the alleged will introduced
to-day a bitter contest will hinge. This
new document purporis to be n hello
graphic will. Ii Is written in lead
pencil on two sheets of legal cap
paper. 1t was brought into court
securely framed between two
plates of glass and was presented
by Reuben Lloyd, attorney for Virginia
Fair and Mrs. Herman Oelrichs o! New
York, daughters of the deceased. The at
torneys for Charley FAIR. their brother,
came into court with Mr.. Lloyd and APP
parently approved of the proceeding.
There is no longer any doubt that the
three children have combined to fl Iht for
the probate of this latest alleged will.
Underits provision the vast estate would
be divided almost equally between the
two daughters aud Charley Fair and the
distribution would be made at once. In
the second VIII, Charley Fair receives a
special bequest of S5O),0)0 to be paid inn
mediately before distribution of the
estate. Messrs. Angus aud Crothers and
Dr. Mark Livingston are named as exc
cutors under the second will. Angus and
Crothers are two of the four executors
named in the will previously filed,
and which gave the executors entire con-
troll of the estate, at fat salaries
during the life of three children. Attor-
ney Lloyd in presenting this second al
legged will, explained that, according to its
date, it was executed three days later
than the will previously filed. He said he
would prove the existence of this will had
been known to several people, and after a
long search it had finally been found in
the possession of an "estimable lady,"
whose name Lloyd would not divulge at
present. The attorneys for the executors
under the first will intimated very
strongly that they believed this alleged
will TO be forgery. Further probate pro-
ceedinRs were continued until April ..

from Gallaun. Malish was sentenced to
Is months In the pententiary for forgery.
He appealed from this judgment, but the
supreme court affirms the lower court de-
cision, holding that as defendant had
failed to demur to the information charg-
ing him with the crime of forgery, and had
not moved to quash or made a motion for
a new rial or arrest of judgment, ho had
waived the same. The supreme court
cannot hear for the first time an objection
that the facts in the case do not consti-
tute the oiTense charged. The objection
should come up first IN the lower court.
The supreme court IN this case holds that
the charge of uttering "a forged paper is
the same as n charge of forgery.
James sullivan VS.. Germauia Life In
surance company, appealed from Lewis

rangement with the agent of the company
to take out life insurance policy, the
premiums on which were to pay for the
rent of the agents Office. The company
refused TO honor such an agreement and
Sullivan took the matter into the district
court, where the defendant got judgment
for costs. Sullivan appealed and the SUI
premc court ailirms the lower courts de-
cisIon, holding that such an agreement as
existed between the agent and Sullivan is
not binding yn the company, as it was
made without its knowledge or consent.

WASHINGTON, March Is. - Secretary
Gresham to-day authorized formal de-
nial of the reports that he had received
from Minister Tyler any answer to tho
secretary's note demanding an explana-
ton or apology from Spain. Senor Mu-
ruagua, the spanish minister, declined to-
day to see callers or receive any messages.
Among the callers were Mr.. Gray, the
former owner of the Alliancia, but he. too,
was unable to secure an interview. Gray
says his present business with the Span
ish minister and state department does
not concern the Alliancia matter.

The Af.ir at Warrington.

WASHINGTON, March 18.-It is impossi-
BILE to learn positively whether the state
department has been advised officially of
the severe demands made upon Nicara-
qua by Great Britain, but from the fact
that General Barrios, who was appointed
by Nicaragua to endeavor to settle the
difficulty, has recently paid several visits
to the state department in company with
DIR. Guzman, the resident Nicaraguan
minister, 1t is assumed that our own gov
ernment is fully posted in regard to the
matter. 1t cannot be denied that this
new incident, taken in connection with
the hostile attitude of Great Britain to-
wards Venezuela, promises to lead 10
trouble of a character much more serious
than the incident of the Allancia. There
are questions of indemnity arising in
Venezuela, growing out of claims pre-
ferred by other European nations.
Many of the claims grow out
of the failure of these re-
publics to meet their obligations to
foreign debtors under tine stress of hard
times and the influence of the world wide
depression in trade. As the European
governments appear to be moving to coll
lect these individual debts on their own
account, it is a question that the United
States must speedily settle as to how far
it is prepared TO permit this process to go
on. Besides there is a rather disagreeable
reflection upon American citizens in the
disputation that none shall serve on the
commission TO adjudge the damage. On
the whole it is probable that the president
will interfere to secure at least an ameli-
Grafton of the terms of the ultimatum by
an appeal to the British government, rep
resenting ne great hardships that it would
work to Nicaragua under her present de-
pressed condition to prefer a demad for
so large an indemnity.

OMAHA, Neb.. March 1S.-Mrs. w. f.
Holden OF Keya Paha county, was found
dead in her home last night by neghbors.
Her body was lying on the floor with
piece of rope 10 feet long and a Ratchet
and hammer beside her. The autopsy
showed she died of strangulation and she
had also been assaulted. The woman was
living alone, her husband having been
sent to the insane asylum. 1t is supposed
that the motive of the lynching was to pre-
vent the woman giving testimony against
cattle rustlers, as she had been sum-
moned as a witness. She bore q good rep
utation. 1t was evident that she fought
hard for life and honor, as the bedding
and clothing were torn and scattered

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 1s.-The Ma

this morning. In the panic of 1898 the
bank suspended. but through an arrange
ment between the deposItors and stock
holders it was permitted to resume busi-
ness. The steady withdrawal of deposits
since that time placed the bank in an en-
barrassing position and necessitated an
other suspension. The statement given
out shows assets of S1,s00, 900; liabilities,
S1.050,000. The Star this afternoon will
say editorially that none of the other
banks in the city will be in any way af-
fec;ed.
