port On the trade OF China for 1894,

the autopsy upon his remains proceeded
no farther yesterday with their inyestlga-
tons. The mieroscopical examination OF
the vitals was not made, because the con-
dit1on of the specimens was not salts

searches to-day. In all probability.
Nothing was heard yesterday from the
daughters of the Senator They are
known to be on their way from New York
to San Francisco TO attend the funeral OF
their parent. 1t is also stated that Her
man Oelrichs, the husband of the elder
daughter and Richard V. Dey. one OF
Senator Fairs business cenfdants. are
with them. 1t is not likely that anything
farther will be heard from the party until
the arrival of the train next Thursday.
A sensational rumor to the effect that the
children of Senator Fair would contest the
will because of Its provision placing the
entire properly in the hands of trustees
for their benefit is attributed TO the I'M
usual latitude given by the testatnr to his
executors. 1t was said that they had beer.
vested with the most extraordinary powers
and that it was not at all like Senator
Fair, who in business matters was shrewd
and calculating in the eX rene, to place
his vast estate in the hands of executors
without bonds, whoever they might be-.
But the testator has. undoubtedly done
that very thing, and the fact that he has
done 1t set the indulgers in speculations
to talking and gave rise to the assertion
that the heirs would contest. AT all events
it is rich thing Tor the executors. - Z
They will. receive "a fees upward of
100000 each. and this in addition to the
requests TO them individually and the
salaries provided in the will, Bresse" and
Angus each are to receive $4,000 as
legacies. and the salaries all OF these
