meet the prospective deficiencies. This
wns followed by the defeat Of another
proposition by Mr.. PETER for the issue

Both propositions were offered ns
amendments to the fertilization bill,
which was passed, thus leaving but one
OF the appropriation bills to bo acted
upon.
AFR. Germans amendment developed
an animated financial debate, with Mr..
Sherman and Mr.. German as the mnin
participants. Mr.. Sherman resisted the
amendment, and urged that the proper
step was to pass the Dlngley emergency
tariff bill. Mr.. German made an offer
TO Mr., Sherman that both sides OF tho
chamber join In a -partisan relief
measure, imposing tax on ten and
coffee and repeating the rebate on alco-
hol used in the arts, which would, he
said. add $40.00O.OOO to $50. 100000 TO the

A LEGAL BATTLE
over the Estate Of the Late Advocate Gel

Over ths Estate Of the Late Advocate Gen
eFaI Holt.
WASHINGTON, D. g., May 20,-;rhe
legal battle over the estate OF the late
Judge advocate general Holt Is now
fairly on and the developments already
mark It as one of the most remarkable
will cases ever tried in tho District Of
Columbia, Several more Witnesses
were produced to-day In the effort to
establish the authenticity Of the alleged
will.
After Rev. DR.. ]. @. Butler, Of this
city, had identified the writing as Judge
HOlt's, Representative HIT, Of Illinois,
took the stand. He said he had known
Judge Holt for over twenty years and
believed, though he was not certain
that the document bore his hAndwrit-
Ing, Attorney Wilson, for tho heirs 'tlt@
law. asked the witness II there were
any characteristics OF Judge Holt In the
composition OF the alleged document
This move brought out strong pro-
test from opposing counsel. They con-
tended that the testimony was not COM
petent md the objection was sustain
ed by Judge Bradley, who ruled that
tho question trenched too largely on
the territory OF the jury. Mr. Hit then
went on to testify that the late Judge
advocates handwriting was variable,
but had certain chnrRcteriBttcs which
gave 1t marked individuality. Other Wit
nesses gave similar testimony.
