Supreme Court Decisions Discussed.

supreme court lSccislOns DtscusSod.
Representatives of the Western roads
met Friady afternoon at Chicago, for
the purpose of discussing the recent de-
cision OF the supreme court and its
probable effect on the associations under
which the Western roads have been
working. The conference lasted the
entire afternoon and terminated in
nothing, as far as action is concerned,
though it seemed foregone conclusion
that the decision would have the effect
OF doing away with the Westsrn Freight
Association. as il is at present organized.
There is no doubt that the Western
Passenger and Freight Associations
will be in operation within short
time, but in a form different from that
in which they have been working.
Two more roads Withdrew from the
Western Freight Association Friday,
the Rock Island and the Sioux City &
Northern being the members to pull
out. The rooms OF the association
were practically closed all day and no
effort was made to do anything. beyond
the merest routine.

MONDAY. The first day of the tariff
debate in the house was rather tame.
from both spectacular and an orator
ical standpoint. The opening of the
debate was delayed over two hours b,
the full reading of the bill of 1872 pages
and this, to begin with, had a some

speeches were made at to-day's sessions
Tomorrow il is probable that some Of

TUESDAY. Although several sharr
passages at arms somewhat en- liyened
the 'tafif debate in the house to-day.
the brilliant speech OF Mr.. Dolliver.

gloom which has so far pervaded the

THE HEsrcOrr WILL CONTEST.
An Expert Testines Thai the Changes Were
ylade in the VIZ Aner Its Execution.

CooPERsTowN, y. V. June 1.-THE attor-
neys for the prosecution in the Ellerson-W Vest
colt contested will case had an expert in hand
writing on the stand in the trial before Judge
Forbes to-day. Lawyers Andrus and Tenant,
the attorneys for the defence, made desperate
efforts 10 keep the evidence out. on the ground
that they were totally unprepared for such an
attack on the will and because the complaint
did not indicate that such an attack would be
made. Judge Forbes allowed the evidence.
Thomas w.Cantwell OF Albany was the expert,
and he swore that upon close examination Of
the document he found that in several instances
the word "children" was written over an
erasure. the erased word being heirs" The
substitution OF these words was made in a
different ink, and in his opinion, some time
after the execution OF the will. In another por.
ton of the will the word " Wononta had been
added in different colored ink.
Several witnesses testified that the testator and
DIR. Pope estcott often quarrelled. Joseph s.
Lunn and Burton II. Morris. witnesses to the
will, swore that they witnessed the testators
signature without knowing IL was attached TO a
will. Mr.. Lunn also testified that he saw the
testator try to give Mrs. DR.. Pope W~estcott an
emetic. supposing she had carried out a threat
to take chloroform- This was Just prior to tho
making of the will. Ms- SeItus Morris testified
to hearing Mrs Westcctt say: why, / had him
right under my thumb. and could make him do
anything l wished" Mrs WeStcott made tho
remark referring 10 her husband and the will.
