NEW YORK, June 6.-Mrs. James 81.
Kenn, the wife of a boss painter and
decorator living in Fordham, is on her
way across the Atlantic to claim her
share in an estate in Scotland valued at
$50, 900, 900. She is due to arrive at
Glasgow on Thursday, and will go to
Dundee, where she will make her tenn
pcrary residence. The estate is known
as that of Stowe, situated four miles
from Edinburgh. On it is castle
built several centuries ago. The first
one of the Kenn family to occupy il
took part in the war that terminated
in the battle of Colloden, and this es-
tate was confscated When Queen
Victoria assembled the throne she re-
stored the estate. When the records
were examined it was found that there
were large number of heirs on both
sides of the family. The case, which
was long in litigation, has been practi-
cally decided In favor of Mr.. Nichol-
son, but Kenn has assurances and evi.
dence to prove him the rightful heir.

CoNSTANTINoPLE, June 6-Advices re-

Mecca, and the scene of the recent muir
derous assault ON the consuler offices of
Great Britain, Russia and France, an
nounce that panic prevails there and
that it is feared the Bedouins will at
tack the town. The latter are held
responsible for the attack upon the
consuls which resulted in the death Of
the British vice consul, and a number
of them were arrested in consequence.
This has caused an angry feeling
among the Bedouins, who demand the
release Of those apprehended, and
threaten to use force if their demand is
mot complied with. The situation is so
serious that the Europeans Of Jiddah
are hastily seeking refuge on board the
merchant vessels in the harbor, taking
with them all they possibly can of their
belongings. It is also stated In the adj
vices from Jiddah that the arrival
there Of the British Mediterranean
squadron, numbering II warships Of
various classes, is anxiously expected
even by the Turkish authorities, as the
garrison is very weak.

a Good Place to Sell
Our Product.
TO COST CELESTIALS LITTLE
Expects to Supply Consumers
For About Three Dollars
Per Barrel.

SEATTLE, WASH, June 0.-Jomeo j.
Hill, president Of the Great Northern.
while here, spent most Of his time in
consultation with Woo Sen, Seattle
manager Of the house of Wa Chong &
Co. of Hong Kong, and made searching
inquiries respecting the disposition OF
Chinese towards -four as an article of
food. Woo Gen was of the opinion
that if -four could be laid down in
China for 621a cents per sack OF 90
pounds, it could be sold at profit for
20 cents by dealers and compete with
rice. He thought if the great masses
of China once began to use -four they
would not go back to rice, and II it
could be placed within the reach OF
laboring classes,
A Demand Would BE Created,
SO large that all the -four mills on the
Pacific coast could not supply one
tenth of the calls made on them. Hills
idea is to carry -four so as to give it to
the Chinese for IL cents per pound
and bring return cargoes Of rice so as
to supply the markets here at one-half
cent per pound He wants to be as
sured of q permanent demand before
taking up the enterprise, and says that
if the Great Northern does put on q
line Of steamers they will be the larg-
est and best possible to be obtained.
The question of terminus will be de-
termined at the lowest rate at which
-four can be placed on ships. Seattle,
he says, will be the place, provided the
condition is fulfilled. This is under
stood by shippers here as indicating
that this place will have the terminus
provided the Asistic line is set up.
More Light In the n. p. Deal.
Mr.. Hill declined to speak Of the
Northern Pacific deal, except to say
that the recent changes meant that the
road was to be placed upon . substan-
tial basis. There was to be no joint
management Of the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific, and the two lines
would be kept entirely separate. He
would not attempt TO gain control Of
the Oregon Railway and Navigation
company, and never had any intention
of SO doing. A. for the people Of the.
West, the 6eat thing for than TO do,
he said, was TO develop and bring
about change Of conditions so that an
Fastener coming out here could send
word back to his friends that by max
ing the change he had benefited him.
self. There had been SO much OF in
stability that the Eastern people were

policy.
