produced by Mrs Nettie r. Craven as the
last testament of the late millionaire OF his
millions OF money and property is to be de-

part OF the lawyers will give way to a de-
termination of questions OF fact and issue.
Mr.. Fair has been dead almost two years,
but 1t was not until to-day that definite
move in the complicated legal fight was
made. There have been motions and coun-
ter motions, demurrefs and cross-com-

Some S20.00o.000 are involved in this, the
biggest lawsuit of California. and almost
twenty endeavorS have been made to post

court clerks and second Will filed. The

that she was married by contract TO the

NO WORD FROM CLEVELAND.
Attitude of the Administration the
Subiect of Discussion.

The attitude of the Cleveland admnistra-
ton and of the great body of Eastern
Democrats toward the sound-money move
ment Is the subject of much discussion
among the men gathered fer the meeting
to-day There has been no word of en-
couragement from President Cleveland or
any of those close TO him for the move
ment. and their silence Is interpreted in
two ways. Some hold the opinion that the
President is simply holding the digniied
reserve that becomes his official position
while others point out the fact that he has
been accustomed TO writing letters when
ever the occasion offered. and that his ST.
lence upon this movement means that he
has come to the conclusion that the best
thing TO. do is TO throw all the strength
possible directly TO the Republican ticket
This feeling has stopped the talk of pick

ton. and confined the talk OF presidential
candidates almost entirely to Palmer and
