RUSSO TURKISH DEAL WAS KNOWN
Washington Authorities Were Early IN
formed OF the Affair.

London, Feb. "a dispatch to the st.
James Gazette from Washington says
the correspondent of that paper has the
highest authority for announcing that
the entente between Russia and Turkey
is known at the state department and
has had a most important effect in mod
flying the plan of administration 1t had
prepared to compel Turkey to pay an
indemnity for damage done to Ameri-
can property in Armenia.
The correspondent says, in spite of
denials, that he knows naval demon
startion was prepared. Secretary Oh
ney entered into communication with
Russia and Great Britain, asking if
they would oppose the action ne
United States against Turkey. Great
Britain's reply, he says, was favorable,
but Russia informed Olney that she
preferred that there be no naval dem

Trust Clause in the VIII of Their
Father Declared Invalid.
JUDGE SLACK HAS so DECIDED
Action viii Be Commenced to Probate
the viii and the Estate win
Be Divided.

San Francisco, Feb. 9.-Judge Slack
decided today that the trust clause in
the will of James G.. 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. Goodfellow, 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 Slacks decision
is to the effect that the trust is invalid,
not because it undUly suspends the
power of alienation, but because 1t is
a trust created in real property, for the
conveyance of the same after the death
of the children, which is trust pro-
hibited by the laws of this state. He
found that the trust as to the personal
property was not involved in the &C
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 his
real property, is absolutely void.
Charles J. Heggerty, the attorney for
Charles Fair was enthusiastic over
the victory. 1--WE shall now proceed,
he said, "to probate the will without
the trust clause and if it shall be ad-
mitted to probate the estate will be dis
tributed directly to the children"

Hon. J. K. Gowdy, indianapolis: In
view of the resolutions passed by the
state central committee at it's recent
meeting, and Of the fact that the dele
gates to the national republican con-
vention are soon to be CHOSEN IN THIS
state, | have concluded that some state
ment from me as to my wishes and pur-
poses should now be made to my Indl-
ana friends. Hitherto l have declined
to speak to the public upon this matter,
but scores of friends to whom l nave
talked, and many scores more to whom
l have written, will recognize in this
expression the substance Of what L 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 l left the White house
that l have felt a wish to return to it.
Ny Indiana friends have been most de-
voted and faithful, and / am their CRATE
full debtor. The republican party has
twice in national conventions given me
its Endorsement, and that is enough. |
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 | am
grateful, and Of that wider respect and
Misunderstanding party lines-Whicn
have been shown me in SO many ways l
am profoundly appreciative. l can not
consent that my name be used in the
st. Louis convention, and must kindly
ask my friends to accept this as a SIN
cere and final expression upon the sub
ject. BENJAMIN HARRISON"

General Harrison from the presidential
race and was asked what effect the
letter would have on the candidacy of
Mckinley.
II can not but regard the withdrawal
of General Harrison in the most favOra-
bic light" said Hanna, because of the
well-known strength of Governor Nc
Kinley in Indiana. He has long been
very popular among the republicans
of that state and the accessions he will
get there will be a strong addition to
his forces in the central west OF course
the other candidates are likely to be
represented in the Indiana delegation,
but 1t is my judgment that the senti-
ment among the republicans Of that
state is overwhelmingly for Mckinley"
