FEMALES EXEMPT.

Chichester introduced a bill for an act
amending section 1869 of title 8, com
piled laws of Utah, which is very funny
when viewed in all its lights. 1t is deS-
ignated to exempt women from jury
service. The law as it now stands
reads: "a person is exempt from la
bility TO act as juror when he is
etc. Chidester's amendment inserts the
words cor she" after the word ''he"
in the first line, and at the end of the
section adds: "a female citizen of the
state" So that when the wording is
completed. the law viii read: "a per-
son is exempt from liability to act as
juror, when he, or she, is female cit
izen of the state
But all this will be corrected when
the measure gets to the committee llav-
ing this kind of business in hand.

THE FAIR ESTATE.
Petition for Probate of the Penci! Will
withdrawn.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.-The
contest for the millions left by the late
James G.. Fair was terminated this
morning, when DR.. Mare Levingston,
the executor named in the celebrated
pencil will, of which Mrs. Nettie Craven,
the reputed wife of the deceased mill
ionaire, was custodian, withdrew his
petition for the probate of that docu-
ment-
DR.. Levingston alleges that the will
is distasteful to the Fair heirs, who con-
troll the funds of the estate and as the
supporters Of the will are without the
means to sustain their claims in court
the document might be defeated. That
result would reflect on the legality of
the deeds of property from the late
Senator to Mrs. Craven.
on motion of the attorneys for the
Fair children. the will executed Sep
tember y, 1894, in which no mention
is made of Mrs. Craven, was admitted
to probate. The amount involved is
about S20,000,000. Mrs. Craven will
now contest her claim to the property
for which she holds deeds alleged to
have been drawn in her favor by Fair
at the time of their marriage.

BRITISH WAR PREPARATIONS
Esquimalt to be rIade a Strong
Strategic Point.

VICTORIA (B. c., Nov. 16.-Having
made Victoria and Esquimalt harbors
impregnable, the British War Office is
now taking another step in making Es
quimalt one Of the strongest strategic
points of the empire. In a letter from
Admiral Stephenson just received it
was stated that the ships in the North
Pacific squadron would soon be re-
placed by modern warships, among
them being at least one of the first-class
like the Powerful or Terrible.
Not only that, but it is intended to
fortify every pregnable point along the
line of the Canadian Pacific Railroad.
The North Atlantic fleet is also to be
greatly strengthened and the object of
the fortifying of the railroad is to
render cooperation between the two
seaboarGs practically certain in case
of war. When the changes are COM
plete 1900 men will be in service at this
station. Just what this move portends
no one here knows.

Friday night that he was going down
town to fill a business engagement, and
might go to San Francisco before he
returned.

A WAR POSSIBLE
NEW YORK, Nov. ia Washington
special says: Senor Dupuy de LONE,
the Spanish Minister. was asked yester-
day the direct question:
DO you believe there is any danger
of a war between the United States and
spain?'
1T is possible" the Minister an
swered. 1T would be terrible one. One
can foresee its beginning, but not it's
end
This remark of the Spanish Minister,
made in all seriousness, is remarkable.
1t admits the tension in the relations of
the two countries, and shows that the
spirit of desperate bravado that would
push Spain to war with the United
States is not confined to the Spanish
common people, but even affects those
high in authority, who are better ac-
quainted with this country's resources
and power.
Senior de Lone is more inclined to be-
lfeve war possible than is generally sup
posed in diplomatic circles. 1t is feared
at the Spanish Legation that a desire
for popularity may move the new ad-
ministration to actively aid the insur-
gents, in which case the Spanish pride
Will rebel, and trouble may result
An official communication from
Spain's political agent at st. Peters
burg informs the Spanish Minister that
the recently published report that in a
war between the United States and
Spain Russia would be favorable to the
United States is not true. The COM
munication alleges that the Russian
Government has assured Spain that it
will preserve an absolute neutrality to
a certain point. From this it is ar
gued at the legation here that as a war
with Spain would be based on the in
alienable right to hold her territorial
possessions, the United States need not
expect sympathy from Russia or any
other nation. France having recently
acquired colonies, will bitterly resent,
it is thought at the legation, any coun-
trys effort to aid Cuban independence
Russia likewise has immense interests
at stake, besides having a treaty of
alliance with France
The Spanish Minister believes the re-
volt Of Cuba is the beginning of trouble
with all of the West India Islands, and
that England and Holland are watch
ing their colonies with ill-concealed un-
easiness. Jana aica has of late mani
tested marked restlessness, and reports
received at the legation say Great
Britain is on the alert to suppress in
cipient rebellion.

body was found in the ashes of his

made a full confession. Dodge claims
that Mudgett accused him of stealing
hogs and threatening his life forcing
him to shoot in self-defense. Finding he
had killed Mudgett. he rushed home and
informed his wife, and the two returned
and fired the rancher's cabin, hoping
to conceal the crime. Fear os lynching
deferred him from confessing his guilt
prior to his removal from Usal Jail.
