HOPKINS MILLIONS AGAIN.
Another Suit Against searles for Share
of the Estate.

NEW YORK, Jan 14.-Edward p. Searles,
who married Mrs Hopkins, widow of the
railroad magnate, is defendant in three
suits of s25, 600 each in the supreme court,
growing out of the will, by which origi-
nally Searles was to become the sole pos-
SCISSOR of the Hopkins millions, having
been adopted by Hopkins.
The plaintiffs In the case are G. Nathan
lei Hubbard a postoiiice employe; George
j. Hubbard, and Mrs. Amelia Hubbard
Wheeler, their sister, who lives in Con-
necticut, They were among the scores of
next of kin of the late Mrs Hopkins
Searles, who contested her will on tho
ground of undue influence. Their at
torney said that they were promised $25,-
600 each by General Hubbard for with
drawing their objections TO the will. He
continued:
"We believed that General Hubbard had
general power of attorney, which would
bind Mr. Searles. Ofcourse we will have to
get at the will to be able to prove this. AS
matter Of fact it developed at the trial
that the firm Of Butler, Stliman q Hub
bard had made a contract to manage the
Hopkins, Searles millions for 10 per cent.
Of the profits and 10 per cent of the mill
ions That meant ST. 100000 ut clip, be-
sides 10 per cent. of tho profits, OF course

have the other 80 per cont think that
$500, 900 is the biggest fee on record

but this In no wise initiates against its
authenticity. The definite announcement
that Mr.. Mckinley has selected the key
stone of the arch upon which his admins
tration will rest recalls the fact that it
was Mr.. Clevelands selection of Judge
Walter Q. Gresham for secretary of state
Of the present administration which was
first given to the public. AS secretary of
state Mr. Sherman will round out bril-
liant public career which began forty-t
years ago in the house Of representatives
and has covered four terms in the lower
branch Of congress and six terms In the
upper house, besides four years at the
head of the treasury department under
Mr. Hayes administration.
1t is significant in connection with the
knowledge that Mr.. Sherman will be sec
Rotary of state that General Russell -.
Alger, of Michigan, while here few days
ago had conference with the Ohio sem
ator at which it is understood all their

fill being that of secretary of war Re-
ports, however, also persistently associates
the name of Senator Hawley, of Connecti-

a Discussion on Oleomar sarine In the
Lower Body.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l4.-After very dull
day, devoted to passing bills of minor Inn
portanee, the house plunged into warm
controversy over bill to make oieo'
margarine and other limitations Of dairy
products subject to the laws of the states
into which they are transported. The
author of the bill, Mr. Grant, Of Vermont,
led the fight fer it, and it was opposed by
the Democrats and several Republicans
on the ground that 1t would give the
states power to prohibit the use of such
products. The house got into par.
liamentary struggle over the measure on
account Of the determinatio II of Mr. Can
non, of Illinois, to secure more time for
its consideration, and adjourned leaving
1t unfinished. One Of the senate bills
passed was to withdraw from the supreme
court criminal cases other than capital
and leave jurisdiction over them to the
court of appeals.
The open session Of the senate yesterday
was much curtailed by all executive ses-
sion lasting two hours Aftor this the
balance of the day was given to Mr. Ba-
con, of Georgia, ia speech upholding the
power of congress to recognize new gov
ernments. The senator insisted that the
arrogant assertion Of one man power
threatened to make the presidential power
greater than that exerted by any monarch.
An agreement was reached for vote on
the free homestead bill at o'clock this
afternoon
