and walked out Of the saloon with them. They
walked down Cherry street as far as Lynch's

CHICAGO. Nov. 5.-After four years Of conflict
in the courts Miss Serena NJ. Martin Of this city
has at length gained Q fortune, the gift of her
uncle, Edward Martin, whom she served as COM
pauion and mald-of.all.work for forty years be-
fore his death. To her 1t means wealth
amounting to moro than 5000. 000. and 1t seems
now that nothing can prevent her coming into
possession Of 1t.
When Miss Martin was 8 years old she en-
tered the household of Edward Martin. then q
wealthy farmer of Red Hook, n. Y. From that
time up to his death, which occurred on Dec. 8,
1893. she was constantly by his side. The uncle
was mindful OF this attention. and during his
lifetime made provision for her welfare. After
his death the other heirs objected to Miss Mar

her favor.

Red Hook, he always asserted that his home
was at Seward, in Kendall county. H..
When his will was filed for probate the open

sible. This led to an investigation. which dis
closed the fact that previous to his death he'had
given 81 ,oOO. 900 to charity. The ~testator was
opposed to athletics for women and cut of q
clause in the will forbade a contest under pen
atty of forfeiture by the contestant of all share
in the estate. The contest was instituted by q
nephew not named in tho will.

Charges Against Members or tho History Com

RICHMOND. Va, Nov. 5.-Whcn Capt. John
Cussons resigned the Chairmanship of the His
tory mmit of Lee Camp a few days ago
without giving any reason for his action it
caused much interest This committee 10
charged with the selection of q history that will
be truthful and impartial to tho Confederate
side. and which. when selected, will be used as
a text book in Virginia schools and possibly all
over the South. Grand Commander James n.
Stubbs of Virginia. who is also a member of the
History Committee, accepted Capt. Cussons's
resignation and complimented him on his record
as n soldier.
Tonight at Lee camp meeting nPreamble and
resolution was offered by Con. TIA. Brander
and supported by Major N. V. Randolph charg-
i"g that certain members of the History Com
mittee had been and were now in the employ Of
the American Book Company and receiving pay
from that concern. and calling on Grand Com.
mander Stubs to appoint a committee to inves-
tiRate these charges. He promised to have docu-
mentary evidence TO lay before the
to substantiatet the charges.
No names were used in tho discussion, and,
aftdr some objections 10 the wording OF the
resolution. il was passed unanimously. Much
conjecture exists, but IL is presumed that Capt.
Cussons furnished the information upon which
this action is based. and that his knowledge OF
this condition OF affairs in the committee caused
him to resign.

SPELLING OF YUKON NAMEa.

BOARD at Washington.
OTTAWA, Nov. 5.-Thc action OF tho Washing
ton Board on Geographic Names in deciding
upon the spelling of names OF places. rivers.
lakes. and mountains in the Yukon district Of
Canada seems to have caused a good deal
OF resentment in Official circles here. 1t is
claimed that this is a matter in which the
Canadian authorities alone have tho right to
act. Tho trouble hitherto has been that there is
nobody in Ottawa clothed with special author
ity to determine the photography. Several Of
the public departments, principally the Depart
ment OF Interior and Geological Survey. pub
fish maps in connection with their annual
%reports, and the spelling Of the place names has
pairing the maps.
As regards the spelling of Yukon names the
departmental officials say that usage In some
c ssesn Vii hsyo to govern; as; in the name
spelling "Thronduick" will be dropped. The
omciais consider, some of the recent rulings of
the w ashington board to be absurd. and these
VIII. under no consideration, be, adopted in
Gsnada. 1t Is now stated that the Dominion
Government will shortly appoint a board to de:
cue upon the, photography OF geographical

TAHLEoUAH. I. T., Nov. 5.-A protest has
becn submitted to tho Dawes Commission
in'behalf of a majority of the Cherokee Nation
against tho allotment plans proposed by the
Federal Government. The document contains
something moro than 1000 words and pre-.
sents in strong Language the full-blood Chero-
KEGS preference for the common tenure bond
system as against the distribution scheme.
The ull-blood Cherokees arc now in control of
both branches of the National Council and are
bitterly opposed to any policy looking toward
the abolition of the Cherokee Government as IL
now exists. A denial of charges and statements
made in the Dawes report Of 1894 is contained
in the protest. Solemn averment Is made that
Injurious reports have been circulated about
the Cherokee Nation. Tho keynote 10 the pro-
test is given in the following excerpt:
1--WE submit that the Cherokee nation does NOT
propos" resist what may be termed tho mani
fest destiny of this Territory to eventually be-
como Il State OF the United States, but the diff
ference between the Territory's becoIning q
State when the Indians have become ready and

ference to them between life and death, the

and when off Long Beach. between Watch Hill
and Point Judith. he noticed that the Willis
was in trouble. Tho seas were running very
heavy at the time, and Capt. Stanton had his

Willis was some distance astern, and Capt.
Stanton watched her for some time.

with her fOresail. She had luffed when Capt.
Stanton last looked at her. He turned his at
tention to his own duties for a while and when
he again looked astern the Willis was nowhere
in sight. The Captain is firmly convinced that
she sank with all on board.
The Rhode Island Sound shore is now thor
ouRhly patrolled by life savers all the way from
Watch Hill to Point Judith. AS yet no report Of
wreckage being thrown up on the shore has
been made to Assistant Superintendent Knowles
at Wakefield. The wind has been blowing from
the south for q few days, and if such n disaster
as Capt Stanton relates has occurred, the
wreckage ought to come ashore soon.
If the Willis has gone down she will be tho

sunk three miles west Of Point Judith on that
