FIVE HUNDRED FISHER
MEN DROWNED.

Victoria, B. c. June IL
Meager particulars were
brought by the Empress Of
Japan Of a disaster which be-
fell the fishermen of Chusan
Archipelago, off the coast Of
China. On May g, when ALL
or at least most, of the fishing
boats were out on the fishing
banks, a terrible gale sprung
up. Of the several hundred
boats out at the time very few
returned, and it is estimated
that some SOC men lost their
lives.
The storm was one of those
sudden ones tor which the
coast of China is noted, and
the fishermen had no chance
to seek shelter. Their light
boats were smashed to atoms
and they were lett to fight a
hopeless battle with the lnerci-
less waves. Those who es-
capped did so by good luck.
The storm swept over the
entire archipelago, which ex-
tends across the mouth of Han
chow Bay on the eastern
coast of China. Several large
junks were lost, in which
scores persisted.

ance,' said a gentleman at the
Ebbit last night. "Just look
around town and see the
change from a month ago.
The average office seeker is a
man of wonderful assurance.
He comes to Washington and
stops at a first-class hotel for a
couple of days. He then seeks
a cheaper hosiery, but still
has his mail sent to the first
place. This gives him in his
opinion, a better standing with
those witt, whom he comes in
contact. He calls regularly
for his letters, and gives it OUT
generally that he is stopping
at the higher priced house
When he has letters or notes
to write he always patronizes
the writing room of a swell
ltotel, and is by no means back
ward in asking for stationery.
The weather is getting warm
now and the office seeker is
rapidly disappearing"

Federal aud state law tame in
conflict to-day in thu United
States court here, in the case OF
the State of Iowa against Ed
ward f. Waite, Of Minneapolis.
The case is an outgrowth Of The
celebrated Van Leuven pension
fraud cases. Van Leuven was a
pension agent in Howard Couu-
ty, who did a business Of ma
tioual scope, securing pensions
and manufacturing evidence
when necessary. He vas con-
victed and sent to the peniten-
tiarP. Daniel p. Andrus was
en- of bis applicants for a pen
sien, and Waite was a special
examiner for the United States
Pension Bureau.
In securing evidence against
Van Eeuven. he bore down
rather heavily on AndFus, and
the latter afterward secured bis
indictment on a charge OF III
timidation. The District Cont
convicted him, the local senti-
ment being in favor of Van
Leuven, who was bringing
large quantities of money into
the little town, and the Supreme
Court Of Iowa sustained the
lower court. United States At
soraey Cato Sells then made ap-
plication for a writ of habeas

that as he was a servant of the
general government. and acting
in the performances of his duty

LONGSTREET TO sue
CEED WADE HAMP-
TON.

Washington, D. C., June II
MOT long ago Gen. Wade
Hampton, Commissioner OF
railroads, said if Senator Till
man dared to speak to him he
would insult him. To-day Sen
ator Tillman, accompanied
by Senator McLaurin and sew
eral members OF the South
Caroline delegation, called at
the White House, and made a
personal appeal for the reten-
ton in office Of the General.
They strengthened the plea
with a statement about the
Generals health and condi-
ton. The President told the
party that if such representa-
tons had been made to him
two months ago he would have
granted the request. He had
in the meantime, however,
promised the position to Gen.
Longstreet. AS the best
which that promise would per
NIT him to do, the President
said that General Hampton
should be continued in office
pending a trip he desires to
make to the Pacific coast, in
all effort to regain his health.
As a gendarne on his way

Tilt Ia the Appellate Court Over
Sprague Estate.
Speaker Allen and Col. Arms Of East
Greenwich Opposing Counsel.

There was hearing in the Appellate
Court today on the appeal from the allow
ance of account by the Probate Court of
East Greenwich in the case of Mabel A.
Shippee VS.. David l.. Rose, guardian. Tho
account was not n long one, but counsel
seemed to think il intricate, and there
was the added spice to the hearing of con-
tentions between Samuel w. X. Allen and
Colonel c. j. Arms. The latter represent
ed the appellant and he criticised the ac-
count, especially an item in it providing
for the payment to Mr. Allen of S35 for
counsel fees.
hands as guardian was not very large. It
consisted simply of small house and
lot. This has since been sold by the
mortgagee, and bill Of interpleader has
been filed to settle to whom the surplus of
the sale shall be paid by the mortgagec.
Mr.. Rosc has produced his account and
it showed that the estate Of Mrs Mabel A.
Sprague, formerly Miss Mabel A. Ship
pee, was indebted to him in the sum of
$l27. 81. On cross-examination he said
that the fee Of Mr.. Allen was for making
up the account for him and appearing be-
fore the Probate Court Witness also
stated that part Of the money was to he
paid Air. Allen for defending n case in
which the bond of witness was forfeited.
Colonel Arms claimed that no account
lad ever been mado by Mr.. Rose, as he
was called upon Co do OH the estate of
Mrs. Sprague, the joint account for her
and ber sisters estate not being proper
one, as she was entitled TO separate ac-
count The court did not fully agree with
this view of the matter Counsel then
stated that though Mr.. Rose was appoint
cd guardian I'm 1884, he rendered no ac-
count until cited into court by Mrs.
Sprague when she came of age and had
married. = He also argued that no allow
ance should he made for counsel fees, as
all the litigation was due To the failure of
Mr. Rose to file an inventory.
Mr.. Allen argued that the items of the
account were all correct, and he would
willingly submit IL the court so intimated

counsel fees, and while Mr.. Rose had MS

THEIR CLAIM.
King Heirs Say They Have
Strong Letters.
Will Prove Mrs. Ross is Not
Entitled to King Estate.
They Were Purchased From a Man
Who Got Them at Warehouse.

New York, March 2i-Counsel for
George Gordon King and thirteen other
relatives of the late millionaire, William
Henry King, who died in the Butler Hos
pital, Providence recently, have private
letters and papers in their possession
which, it is alleged, show conclusively
that Mrs. Eugenia X. Webster Ross, for
merly of Boston, but now living in this
city, is not entitled To inherit the tes-
tator's wealth.
Mrs. Ross, who says she is the testator' 5
only heir and next of kin, through coun-
sci has petitioned Surrogate Arnold To
grant letters of administration To her and
the Union Trust Company. Mr.. King left
real estate valued at $50, 900 and personal
property at $50, 600 in this state. He left
property in other states, and it is said 10
have been worth between 81, 100000 and
$40, 000 600.
The letters and papers il is said, were
discovered by Robert Fullerton, who
conducts an old curiosity shop in Third
avenue, near Nineteenth street. Less
than year ago Mr.. Fullerton says, he
noticed in a newspaper an article which
related To Mrs. Ross and her alleged rcla-
tionship TO the late millionaire. He re-
membered that he had purchased at a
storage house trunk filled with letters
and papers, which had been sold in de-
fault of payment of the storage.

yesterday, "of going TO storage ware
houses and buying old letters and papers.

Ross about three years ago. looked over
thom after reading the article which
raised the inquiry as TO who Mrs. Ross
was. In examining the papers L found
that she was the granddaughter of Adam
Gordon, planter of Claiborne county,
Mississippi. Gordon was at one time a
nominee for representative in Congress,
but was DEBATED. One of his daughters
married James Il. Calhoun. Mrs. Ross is
the daughter OF Calhoun, who is now
dead.
"In the papers found that Mrs. Ross
had hunted up the genealogy of the Cor
don family, and had n hobby of tracing
genealogies. she lived for timo in
Boston, and is IA very intelligent and

letters show that Mrs. Ross is not the

alleged to be u nephew of the dead man,
and other relatives associated with him

from me.
Richard Sweczy, of the counsel for
George Gordon King, and the IL other rel
atives said that Mrs. Ross has no rightful
