Indianapolis, Feb. 3.-Captain John K.
Gowdy, chairman of the republican
state committee, called on General Har-
rison this evening by invitation, and the
ex-president handed him the appended
self-explanatory letter;
Hon. j. X Gowdy, Indianapolis: In
view of the resolutions passed by the
state central committee at its recent
meeting. and of the fact that the dele
gates to the national republican con-
yention are soon to be chosen in this
state, 1 have concluded that some state
ment from me as to my wishes and pur-
poses should now be made to my Indi-
ana friends. Hitherto l have declined
to speak to the public upon this matter,
but scores of friends to whom l have
talked, and many scores more to whom
l have written, will recognize in this
expression the substance of what have
said to them. To every one who has
proposed to promote my nomination l
have said No There has never been
an hour since 1 left the White house
that 1 have felt wish to return to it.
My Indiana friends have been most de-
voted and faithful, and 1 am their CRATE
full debtor. The republican party has
twice in national conventions given me
it's Endorsement, and that is enough. L
think the voters of our party are now
entitled to have a new name. For the
sentiment, great or small, that has been
manifested for my nomination l am
grateful, and of that wider respect and
Misunderstanding party lines-whicn
have been shown me in so many ways
am profoundly appreciative. can not
consent that my name be used in the
st. Louis convention, and must kindly
ask my friends to accept this as a sim
cere and final expression upon the sub
! ject. BENJAMIN HARRISON.

JOHN c. NEW ON TnE SITUATION
Letter Takes the Ex-president Entirely
our of Ihs Arena.


Indianapolis, Feb. 3.-When General
John c. New was seen this evening rel
alive to the letter of General Harrison,
he said the letter meant what it said.
1T takes General Harrison" said he,
entirely out of consideration as
candidate before the st. Louis conven-
ton. The letter says what ne has said
to me and others of his friends for
year. We had hoped that he might be
induced to change his mind, but he
has evidently made up his mind, and
his declaration should be regarded as
final"
do you think General Harrison will
take any hand in the selection of a
candidate?"
Il do not think he will turn his hand
over to forward the chances of any
other man. The republicans of the state
will be perfectly free to exercise their
own wishes in the matter. He undoubt-
eddy has preferences, but he will not
try to influence the vote of any dele
gate"
For whom will the vote of the In
diana delegation probably be cast?'
Il think that in great many dis
tricts of the state the sentiment will be
IOr MCKINNEY. IN some parts Oh IN
diana Senator Allison has a following
that will probably get him some dele
gates. 1 do not take 1t that Speaker
Reed will develop much strength"
]. K. Gowdy, chairman of the repub-
lican state central committee, said:
81 take it that the letter of General
Harrison means just what he says, and
that he is not and will not be candi-
date. 1 think the strength of Indiana
will go for the most part to Mckinley,
with liberal following for Allison and
some support for Reed"

Boise, Feb. 4.-Action has been COM
menced in the supreme court against
the state by the Butte firm of contract
ors, Winters, Parsons & Boomer. The
firm built a large portion of the state
wagon road in the southern part of the
state.
A portion of the road in Lemhi county
was washed out. The wagon road COM
missioners then authorized Winters,
Parsons & Boomer to build that part of
the road. They did 50, bringing in a
bill for $6,744.25, which was allowed by
the commissioners, a certificate of in
debtedness being given to the contract
Ors.
The certificate came up before the
state board of examiners which refused
to allow the claim on the ground that
the wagon road commissioners had no
authority to enter into any contract in

ENGLAND CLAIMS THE LAND or ICE
Plan of Norwegian Explorer 10 Go
Into the Antarctic Continent.

Plan Of Norwegian Explorer 10 Go
Into the Antarctic Continent.
New York, Feb. &C. E. Borchgre-
wink, the Norwegian explorer, arrived
here on the Umbria today.
Borchgrevink has taught the world
pretty much all it knows about the
great continent which lies in southern
polar seas, and if his plans as now ar
ranged are carried out, he will be able
to tell much more after he gets back
from an expedition which he is to I'M
dertake next winter.
The scheme that the explorer has in
hand is to travel over 100 miles inland
on snowshoes and sledges with three
Norwegian companions.
Speaking of the proposed expedition,
he said:
ELEVEN scientists are to be with the
expedition. We have chartered the
auxiliary steamer Jason, the whaler
which took DR.. Nansen into the Arctic
regions.
I'VE will sail right for Cape Adare,
on the new continent We expect
to get there this spring. We will have
another 74-ton steamer and a naptha
launch with us. The two steamers will
leave us and return to Melbourne after
whaling for a time. With three Nor
wegian friends, all experts with snow
shoes, 1 will start inland from Cape
Adare and traverse a country that was
never entered by a human being as far
as we know. We win go from Cape
Adare to Coulman island, distance
of 60 miles, over the snow, and from
there we contemplate a two and a
half months journey in over the main
land, travelling across the plateau OF
ice and snow on sledges. We want to
locate the south magnetic pole"
do you think there is a great con-
tinent there, or merely an island?" Mr.
Borchgrevink was asked.
II am quite sure it is a continent
and one probably three times as large
as all Europe" he answered positively
"To whom does it belong?"
"Well, England claims it," he replied
when Captain Sir James Clark Ros:
| landed on Possession island, which /:
off the coast of New Zealand, more thar
half century ago from her majesty:
ship Erebus and Terror, he took pos
session of the mainland, which he nevel
stepped upon, in the name of tn,
queen"

Trust Clause in the VIII Of Their
Father Declared lnva id.
JUDGE SLACK HAS so DECIDED
the YIN and the Estate win
BE Divided.

San Francisco, Feb. 3.-Judge Slack
decided today that the trust clause Ina
the will of James c.. Fair was invalid.
The decision was rendered in the suit
brought by Charles l.. Fair to quit
title to the Lick house property. The
action was brought to test the validity
of the ironclad, obnoxious trust clause
and it was most strenuously opposed
by w. s. Goodfelow. one of the trus-
tees. The other executors Joined with
the children in the attack on the clause,
although they entered a formal defense
to the action. Judge Slack's decision
is to the effect that the trust is invalid,
not because it undUly suspends the
power of alienation, but because it is
a trust created in real property. for the
conveyance of the same after the death
of the children, which is a trust pro-
hibited by the laws Of this state. He
found that the trust as to the personal
property was not involved in the ac-
ton.
The children of Fair have thus sue
ceeded in having it decided by the court
that the will of their father, in so far
as it deprives them of the residue OF ms
real property, is absolutely void.
Charles j. Heggerty, the attorney for
Charles Fair, was enthusiastic over
the victory. I'VE shall now proceed"
he said, ito probate the will without
the trust clause and if it shall be adj
mitted to probate the estate will be dis
tributed directly to the children"
