Interesting Evidence Given By the
Principal Legatee.

San Francisco Chronicle, November 8 +:
The trial Of the Cspron will contest was
resumed yesterday before Judge Coffee
and q jury. The important witness OF the
day was Judge A. L. Fitzgerald Of Nevada.
who is named as residusry legstee In the
disputed will.
Judge Fitzgerald denied most en-
phatically that be had procured the max
ing OF q will In his favor through the ex-
ercise Of any undue influence. He was
also quite certain that Cspron was not .
victim Of the mental incompetency
ascribed to him in the complaint Of his
three stepdaughters.
II was no great surprise TO Judge Fitz-
gerald 70 learn that Cspron had commit
ted suicide. Cspron, he said. had fire.
quently spoken to him on the subject Of
suicide. Capron insisted 70 his friend
that when q man deemed that his years Of
usefulness had passed be was perfectly
justified in taking bis w life. The wit
ness did not agree in this opinion, and, %
q consequence, he and Cspron often en-
gagged in discussion Of the subject.
During the examination counsel for the
contestants introduced In evidence several
letters which had been written by Capron
70 Judge Fitzgerald during the last few
months Of the testator's life. In one Of
the letters Cspron complained of the
treatment accorded him by his step
daughters. and expressed the opinion that
they had %oonspired to shorten his life in
order that they might possess themselves
Of bis property. Az the time Of writing
this letter Cspron had made his will. He
gave Judge Fitzgerald instructions TO de-
lend the will at all cost In the event Of it
being assailed. The trial will be resumed
to-day.

BANKER cLEws' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
wall Street.

New York. Dec. A decided change for
the better has come over the Wall street
markets. I have repeatedly noted, in
these advices, that the stock market APP
peared to have touched bottom as TO
prices; that, so far as respects intrinsic
elements of value, there existed conditions
which warranted a buying movement; out
that there were lacking certain elements
necessary to give the upward tendency
starting impulse.
Just at the moment of greatest stagnan-
cv. these lacking elements have uneXpect-
edlv appeared. Perhaps, the more lmme-
date cause of this change has been that
the room traders have found it impossl-
BILE to any longer make profits on selling
and therefore changed over to the "puil =.
side This was natural test of the mar
ket. and the response has been general
increase of buying orders. The response
came the more readily because there has
been a steady mitigation of certain out
side influences which have been tending
to the postponement of operations.
As the opening of congress nears, it be-
comes more evident that we are likely to
have a business-like session, with the SEN
sational dictionaries held in restraint and
with a preponderating regard for policies
and measures calculated to encourage con-
fidence among the business interests.
Among the things which now are consid-
cred as assured are the support of the
Presidents pacific policy on the Cuban
question; fair chance for the adoption
of a good bankruptcy law; an earnest at
tempt to effect some real improvements in
the condition of the currency, though pos
sibly not all that some may desire; and an
effort to afford some equitable adjustment
of the railroad questions The marked
public neglect of the silver agitation also
warrants the hope that the issue will in
fluence congressional action less than has
been generally feared. The feeling in
Washington among the arriving congress-
menfis very confident as. to the abatement
of the agitations raised by the Bryan cam
paign of last year and the increasing de-
sire of legislators to deal with the pend
ing large questions in a moderate and con-
ciiatory spirit; and L venture to predict
that this disposition win gain ground as
the session advances.
The people ought to be willing to leave
the entire Cuban question to the admins
itration for settlement and have faith that
the best will be done for the interests of
all concerned in connection Herewith. The
true course, therefore, is for the people to
ing rumors about what both the admins
itration and the government of Spain are
going to do or not going to do in this mat
ter. President Mckinley can be trusted
to do the right thing at the right time, and
if the situation is simply left to him and
his cabinet associates all will be well.

A DRUMMER TEMPTED.
offered Fortune and the Guardian
ship of n Beauty.


Waycross Ga, Dec. "a letter has lust
been received by drummer for a Savan-
nah house which is no doubt a humbug,
and as it is in circular form, though writ
ten with a pen, may have been addressed
to various persons throughout the United
States. The letter purDorts to have come
from a Spanish prison at Barcelona and
bears the alleged signature of ex-Capt.
Juan Basanta, who deserted his post in
the army, when he held the office of cash
Ter of the Horse Guards, and looted the
bank of 100000 francs at the instance Of
the leader of the central republican com
mittee. The date of the letter is over three
months old, having been written on Aug
II, 1897. The writer says he was ar Jasper,
Fla, early this year after he had left the
army and fearing he would be arrested, he
hid his money, 100000 francs, in an iron
box somewhere in the vicinity of Jasper.
He heard there that the Savannah drum
mer, whose home is at Jasper. was a
trustworthy man, and remembered him af-
ter he fell into the hands of the army
and was cast in prison. He claims to have
daughter, who Is still in her teens and
very beautiful, attending college at Toll
edo, and wants his fortune recovered so
she can be provided for. A diagram of the
spot where the treasure box Is alleged to
lie hidden near Jasper. is alleged to be in
his daughters trunk, and without the dia-
gram search for the treasure would be
fruitless. The plan suggested by the writer
of the letter was for the drummer to send
Basantas confidant enough money at once
TO pay expenses of Senorita Basanta and
Basanta's confdant from Toledo TO Jas
per, when the drummer should accept the
senorita as his ward, take the diagram
from her trunk and find the 600 900 francs
and retain one-third of 1t for his trouble
The writer claims that the treasure was
intended for a military movement for pro
claiming the republic of all Spain, and
that he took 1t from the bank under orders
from his chief. His daughter, he says, is
his only child, and as he has fifteen years
to serve in the prison, he grieves for his
child, and is solicitous for her welfare. His
appeal for his child is very pathetic. He
says she was seriously i'll at the college
dormitory when he had word from her
last, and his ambition was for the Savan-
nah drummer to take charge of her and IL
her guardian In exchange for one-third of
a fortune of 100000 francs. Basanta's mill
tary career is graphically told in the let

weekly Market Review.

Dizziness. almost suggestive of the APP
preaching holidays, has pervaded the cot
ton market during the past week. AT no
time did the fluctuations in prices reach
anything of Importance and the closing
quotations are almost unchanged from
those of the preceding Saturday, most
months being point or two lower Bear
ish features were the continued heavy re-
ceipts and a noticeable falling off In the
spot sales at Liverpool. Bullish features
were the very large exports, so that stocks
show only slow increase and growing
inclination to buy whenever prices yield
a few points. This demand appears to
come both from shorts and from inVes-
tors, but has by no means become ur-
gent as yet. The continued rush of re-
ceipts is causing a more general dispo-
sition to put crop estimates above 100000
bales, but there is still an immense diver
gence In the range of reasonable posi-
bilties. Going back to previous years it
is found that the date at which one half
the crop has come into sight extends from
about Nov. 20 to about Dec. Z, and the
average date is about Nov 80 If the
marketing of this crop is an average one,
the total will be somewhat over 10 250, coo
bales if IL has been as backward as the
most backward years, so that the half
will not be in until Dee.-7, the total will
be somewhere near II 10000 bales; If, on
the other hand, i has been marketed as
early as The earliest previous years, that
is. one half in by Nov. 20 or q, the crop
will hardly exceed 100000 bales. Between
these extremes there is choice for all
shades of opinion, but it was particularly
and emphatically stated earlier in the sea-
son that this crop was being gathered
and marketed more rapidly than usual
If Ii can be inferred that one half had
come in sight by Nov. 25 or g. the crop
will be only 9,5D0000 to 9,7500QO. AS TO
the future of prices, the outlook does not
seem very obscure Either the market
must improve materially before the next
planting season. or there will be such a
heavy decrease in the acreage planted as
will cause an advance then. So a higher
plane of values is to be expected either
before or soon after the planting season.
Wheat ruled mostly weak, the resulting
decline being 2l4c for May, which closed

tive developments regarding the threat

wise the news has been mostly of de-
pressing character; northwestern deliv-
cries keep up on a scale calculated to quite
disconcert those who predicted early ex-
haustion of supplies. In fact present re-
numerative prices are proving 10 be

good aggregate business last week, but it
lis consider ed smaller than the weeks out

evenly in the orders, and some who are
still looking for business have accepted
very low bids. Only a small business was

however remained firm. Much eastern
