THE WILL NOT PROBATED
Lincoln Says He Made Many Public Requests -Rumored That He Has Disn-
 herited His Two Sons.

Chicago, Oct 25.-The disposition of the estimated $5O,OOO,OOO left by the late with certainty for at least another day, it being found impossible to probate the will before tomorrow. That assurance both MT. Robert Lincoln and MT. Nor man B. Rean, executors of the estate of the multi-miionaire, expressed with au- thority today. They said that even by tomorrow it was doubtful whether they bate. The property left is so vast that it may take several days to estimate its value, as the law requires.
 An sorts of stories are current in finan- ctal circles over the Pullman will It was said positively that the estate was not worth over $20,000,00O or $25.0O0. 0O0 Some well-known railway men, however, said George M. Pullman's income has
 
 averaged oven $1,OO0OOO annually for a number of years.
 Mr. Lincoln said there were a great number of public bequssts, but refused to give them out Neither of the exc cutors would confirm or deny the state ment that MT. Pullman had disinherited his two sons, George M. and Sanger M. Pullman Neither of the young men is said to be violently drawn towards business career, and for that reason it is said thar the bulk of the property is left to the widow and Mrs. Frank Lowden, daughter of the deceased. The Chicago university comes in for large amount, it is also said. According to one report Mrs. Frank Carolana, of San Francisco. one of the dead millionaires daughters, will receive not to exceed $2,000,000.

THE FINAL DISPOSITION
Of Both the Kansas Pacific and Union
 Pacific Should Be Put 0ii
BECAUSE OF OTHER PURCHASERS
The Committee Is Opposed to Postponement, Because of Desire of Security Holders 10 Have the Property ReOrganized
 Mckenna Wants Advice.

New York, Oct. 25.-The Union Pecific reorganization commltte today made the following announcement:
 1.-The attorney-general has notified this committee that he proposes to ask the court for am adjournment of the fore closure sales of the Kansas Pacific and Union Pacific railway property to De- cember 15, so as to postpone final disposi- tion until after congress shall have met. This action is no doubt taken to free the administration from embarrassment.
 'FThe reorganization committee has, however, reached the conclusion that the interest of the security -holdsrs, repre- scented by it, and of the syndicate fur nishng the funds to finance the reorgan- ization, demand reorganization without further delay In this si uation the conn mittee contemplates, so as to gain prompt poss ,ssion of the Union Pacific line, to oppose any adjournment of the sale of the main line, and 10 bid it in, if need be, for the full amount of the gov ernment's claim, the additional sum in- voved in this being $S,000,000.
 "As to the Kansas lines, the foreclosure of the first liens upon the subsidized divisions elf the Kansas Pacific will be energetically pressed, and when the fore closures shall have 'besn accomplished the reorganization of the Kansas Pacific lines will be completed as claimed.
 "Allotrnents made under the plan to Kansas Pacific holders, amounting to about $15,000, 900 in new bonds and $20,- O00,0OO in preferred stock, will remain m:served for the reorganization of the Kansas lines.
 "The amount of the first nor gage bonds to be issued for the purpose of the reorganization of the Union Pacific main line will not exceed s7O,00O,00o and of preferred stock s55. 900. =

McKENNA'S REASON
For Postponng the Sale Is to Give Others a
 Chance.

Washington Oct 25.-Attorney Gener- al McK,enna was shown the statement and was asked if he had notified the com mittee of his intention, as stated, to which he replied that he had, that Gov Hoadley, special counsel for the govern ment in the eases, was directed last week to make the communication to the reorganization committee. He also sad that the application would be made to Judge Sanborne at St. Paul for the post line only, but of the Kansas division lines. He further said the governme mt had been very attentive to the situation and very desirous to have sale open to plained of, and for that reason desired the postponement to enable bidders to prepare and had reasonable assurances that there would be bidders other than the reorganization committee at the sale.
 The attorney-general declines to state what other propos, tions had been re- cived or by whom made. but it is certain that the sum expected to be realized is considerably in, excess of the guarantee e offer of the reorganization committee. That guarantee, the attorney general says, remains in full force, notwithstand- ing the postponement of the sale.
 No serious opposition to the consume tion of the sale on the part of congress is anticipated by the department

The diplomatic procedure in connee- tion with spain's reply to the Woodford note Is that 1t will be communicated to him by the minister of foregn affairs at Madrid. It will not be sent to Minister Dupuy De Lome, as t is distinctly part of communications between Minister Woodford and the Madrid officials and is not an exchange of notes between the state department and the government of Spain. As intimations have been made that instructions to Minister Woodford would be made public at Madrid. the statement YVES made by officials here that mo publication of the instructions before the assembling of congress would be approved by the United States, and without this approval it would be con- trary to the usuages of diplomacy for the Madrid authorities to make public the correspondence.
