cate the uprising in that part of the
colony is very serious. The disturbance
is widespread and becoming hourly
more alarming. The revolt may spread

CLOSE OF ENTRIES
Two Daughters Of Mrs. h. Q. D. W.
Smell Join Issues.
THE FIRST ROUND TO-DAY
Half of the Estate Is Demanded by
the Children of the California
Widow-The Erwin Davis
Fairy Tale.

The entries for the great Davis will
case handicap closed last evening with
a total of eight. The last to get in
were Mary Isabella Morrow of Fresno,
Cal, and Laura Annis Calhoun of San
Francisco. daughter of the alleged
widow, Mrs Huldah Queen Davis
williams-Snell. The two women Joined
issues in one petition which was filed
yesterday by their attorney. Miles j.
Cavanaugh, and their allegations are
almost identical with those of the wild
ow's petition. They relate that they
are the natural daughters of the de-
ceased. Andrew ]. Davis. and his wife
Hu1da.h Davis and that they were born
IN lawful wedlock. The petition states
chat Merry Isabella was born in 1872
the year of the alleged marriage be-
tween Davis and Huldah Queen. and
Laura Annis was born in 1876, which
would make them 81 and so years years
respectively. The widow is supposed
To be about ~ or 70 years old.
Judge Davis. NJ he were alive. would
be n. and according to dates given by
the California woman he was % years
old when he married her down in Ar
kansas.
In the petition filed yesterday by the
two children" they demand half of the
Intfl1StlNfS ana Int OlneT
half for their aged mother An amend
ed petition was also filed for the widow
by which her original pleading is
changed so as to recite the facts OF
the provisions of the probated will and
the death of Pet Davis and John A.
Davis, two of the legatees. and the fact
that she had received no notice of the
hearing of the probate of the will and
that she did not appear and was not
represented during the proceedings.
In one way or another all the heirs
at-law and all claimants, with the ex-
cepuon of Erwin Davis, a brother of
the dead millionaire, are represented in
the Butte contest by some contest or
other. Erwin Davis had several good
reasons for not putting in an appear
ance, the principal one Of which Is
that he already has the best of the es-
tate to the tune of about $500. 600 The
esate holds judgment on notes against
him aggregating 100000 and holds an
other note for 800, 900 on which suit
was never brought. The whole claim
is considered practically worthless, as
IL Is assessed and appraised at only
$1,000.
The story sent out from Denver a few
days ago in connection with the arrest
OF son of Erwin Davis to the effect
that the latter was worth from 81 0OU,-
600 TO 4,OOO.OO0, was all imagination and
Al Is claimed that the judgments held
against him In Butte ana several large
orfes in New York are not worth 5
cents.
The first round in the new contests
Will be had before Judge Mediation this
afternoon when the citations issued In
the contest OF Mrs. Bowdoin and Diana
Davis will be returned.

CONDITION OF TRADE.
Brids.rert'- X port.

New York, March 2.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: The week has brought
more favorable weather. which tends to
create a better feeling. But trade. except
at Baltimore. Minneapolis, ST. Paul and
Chicago, and to a moderate degree, at
other points. remains dull and unsteady.
The most encouraging feature is the ad-
vance in prices of wheat. Indian corn
and Bessemer pig iron. the latter being
based on the higher value placed on lake
ores While there has been larger sales
of dry goods. shoes. hardware. iron and
leather at Chicago. business in other
lines continues slow. San Francisco's ex-
ports TO Asia have fallen of. but those
to Mexico and Central America are the
heaviest on record. Portland. Ore. Is
sending large quantities of lumber to the
west coast OF South America. and Tacoma
cotton. cloths. flour and lumber TO Trans
pacific markets. one OF the most un-
pleasant features Is the lack of improve
ment in mercantile collections.

before. There was radical decrease
of our exports to Austria under recip-

count for it, the volume of our exports
after jumping up for year. fell below
the level of the two years before the
law was passed. These results do not
constitute an argument against the prin

that with system of high taxes on

the benefits of the system.
