THE FAIR WILL CASE.
Experts Declare the Pencil WIN and the
Craven Deed Forgertes.

Craven Deed Forgeries.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 14-Mesrs. Ames
and Carvalho, the New York experts who
came out here in the interests OF the Fair
children, have made report In which they
declare the pencil will TO be a forgery
The deed to $780, 600 worth of property
held by Mrs. Nettie r. Craven and her
contract marriage with the late Senator
Fair are also placed in the same category.
When Senator Fair died he left vast es-
tate, valued at from eco, 600, 600 to $40,
900, 900. In his will he took elaborate pre-
cautions to keep the estate intact and the
property was left in the shape of a trust
for the benefit of his children, Mrs. Her
man Oelrichs Of New York, Miss Virginia
Fair and Charles l.. Fair.
The children objected to the trust clause
and sought some way TO avoid 1t. Then II
was that Mrs. Craven, a school teacher
and mother of Margaret Craven, the ac-
tress, produced will of later date, writ
ten with pencil, in which Senator Fair
distributed his estate among his children
without any trusts. The heirs were at first
disposed to accept this pencil will. but
changed their minds when Mrs, Craven
produced deeds to valuable property which
she said had been left to her by Senator
Fair and also a marriage contract with the
late senator. Then 1t was that the New
York experts were brought here to exam
inc the various documents.
Their belief is as stated-that Mrs. era
ven's documents are all forgeries, clevorly
executed.

The title Of this wellknown

emanated from the brain of an

ry. This has proven to be good
move on their part as is testified
by the excellent qualities of their

Says the Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zetts: 1--WE do not believe the Democrats
will dare attack protection and reciprooi-
ty. Republicans will fally indorse both
In this condition, the currency question
will come to the 'front.'" This view does
not seem to be in accord with the Ohio
Republican convention which came out
strong for protection and reciprocity,
questions the GAZETTE says are not in
issue, and adopted resolution in regard
to the currency which needs a Sphinx to
interpret. However, the Commercial
Gazette is much nearer right than the
convention. The Democrats practically
abandoned their free trade doctrine when
they passed the German Wilson bill. They
admitted the soundness of the policy of
protection throughout that bill. Appar-
emily the chief difference between the
two parties now is to the application of
that policy-to the particular schedulessof
the tariff. But on the currency question
the differences of opinion among the
voters of the country is sharp and vital.
Yet on that question the Ohio Republi-
cans expressed no Ineligible opinion.

It has leaked out in Washington that
the Venezuelan commission has nearly
completed its labors and that it's report
will be favorable to Venezuela. 1t Is said
even that the commissions report will
go so far as to assert that England has
not the shadow OF title to the territory
in dispute. 1t is further asserted that
England would be ready to arbitrate the
whole question now, without waiting for
the commissions report. were it not for
the English settlers who have located
themselves on the disputed territory.
These settlers object to being handed over
to Venezuela whose government is much
less stable than that Of Great Britain,
and whose laws are much less liberal,
and their protest is very perplexing to
the English government If it were not
for these settlers the whole question could

1t. State pride might explain such con-
tributions in Ohio but this will not ex-
plain why Pennsylvania and New York
manufacturers are doing the same thin G.
BELIEF in the principle of protection
might explain it if Mr.. Mckinley alone
among the candidates stood for that prin-
ciple, but all the candidates are Just as
good protectionists as he. Manufacturers
are too good business men to pay heavily
for something they can get for nothing
Without contributing cent they are sure
to get from the Republican convention
candidate who Is protectionist. There
appears to be only one rational explana-
ton for tho remarkable generosity to
Mr.. McKinley's canvass and that is
that his managers have made some prom
ises which the managers of no
other candidate have made. What
are these promises? Are they
of an innocent kind, which there is
no improperly in making? Will they
put Mr.. Mckinley, if elected President.
under obligation to a particular class?
AS Mr.. McKinley's managers do not deny
the contributions, let them inform the
public by what means they have been
secured. The question is not in this case
whether Mr.. Chandler is truly good
man or whether he is really shocked by
the practices which he charges, but
whether his statements are true and If
true whether they are susceptible of an
innocent exclamation The infarenoa
drawn by ninety-nine men out of every
hundred from the fact that a certain set
of men are making heavy contributions
for the success of particular candidate
outside of their own state is that they
have been given reason to believe that
they will get something from that can
didate which they will not get from 9TH
ers; and the only way that candidate can
be freed from this suspicion is by showing
either that his managers have acted on
their own responsibility in whatever they
have done or said, and without consult
ing their principal, or that the influences
they have employed to bring the oontri-
buttons are perfectly proper and legiti-
mate ones. These are the only effective
ways to relieve the beneficiary of these
contributions from disagreeable suspic-
