He Says No War In Expected With
Japan.
BOSTON, June 30.-Secretary Of the Navy
John D. Long arrived in Boston harbor
yesterday on the Dolphin, and proceeded
at once tc his home in bingham. Regard
ing the Boston and Portsmouth navy yards,
he said that he had carefully inspected
each, and while impressed with their ad-
vGntages and possibilities, still some eddi-
tional facilities must be provided by Con-
gress before rerairs can be done at either
to the same extent as at Norfolk and New
York
Asked If 1t were true that simultaneously
with the signing of the Hawaiian annexa-
tion treaty at Washington plans were pre-
pared in the War and Navy Departments
for any possible contingency with Japan.
he replied:
ut is not true as to the navy. There
has not been the slightest anticipation on
my part of any war with Japan, which is u
highly civilized country. on especially
friendly terms with the United States"
The Secretary was also asked II it was
not the original intention to have the
Brooklyn remain in European waters un-
til the middle Of July. to which he an
swered:
1T Is not true. She is ordered home
because she has done her errand She was
sent abroad for the sole purpose of at
tending the queens jubilee, and, that over
her place is here. There is a European
squadron under Admiral Selfridge, which
Is all that is needed in these waters"

This change. which was foreshadowed in
The Star some time ago. was made after
thorough and amicable understanding be-
tween the two gentlemen concerned
Mr. Spofford said TO a Star reporter this
afternoon that there were three chief rea-
sons which impelled him to say to the
President that he would not be a candi-
date for denomination as librarian. He
said he was admonished by advancing
years that his usefulness was dependent
upon preserving thar measure of health
and strength which he has heretofore en-
joyed. Second. the greatly increased la
Dor and responsibility which must devolye
upon the executive head of the library, in
the removal and installation of the IL
brsry collection in the new building I'm ad-
oition to organizing a new force of as
sistants, would impose upon him a mass
OF details more onerous than mis- custom

AFTER THE TARIFF BILL.

No Effort to BE Made for Otker Legis-
lation i'm the Senate.
1t has been definitely decided that no
effort is to be made to dispose of other
legislation in the Senate after the tariff bill
has been passed. Both the Hawaiian treaty
and the proposition to authorf1e the ap-
pointment Of a currency commission will
go over until the next saasion. 1t is ex-
pected that the Hawaiian treaty will be
the first important matter taksn up at
the regular session. An effoft is now
being made to Sidetrack tho currency COM
mission proposition altogether. There is
considerable opposition among senators to
the commission idea They hold to, the
theory that the Senate finance committee
and the House committee on banking and
currency should deal directly with this
question. and It ia probable that the finance
committee will take up, the subject Of cur
rency reform and endeAyor 70 have prop
osition to present to the Senate soon after
the regular eecs.on begins II this can be
done 1t will forestaL the comnhission. It
was the intention OF the President to send
a message to Congress before the close
Of this session, recommending the author
txation OF 9 con- mission, but 1t III thought
that he win be induced not 20 do this, on
the ground that It will be Impossible to
hold quorum and that the anticipation Of
such 2 course on his part hight delay ac-
tion on the tarln.

RECIPROCITY provisions.
Tariff Bill Amendments Consldere,
by the Finance Coamittee.

Tariff Bill AnendmeHts Considered
by the Finance Coiamittee.
The Senate committee on finance has
practically concluded its consideration CT
the reciprocity provision to be recommend
ed in connection with the tariff bill, and
will probably present the amendment
agreed upon late today or some time to-
morrow. The amendment win set forth as
the incentive to the provision the desire for
extending the commerce of the United
States. and will provide for the negotiation
of commercial traties with any nation with
which we have trade relations, authorizing
the reduction Of the rates' of duty en- all
articles from the countries entering into the
arrangement to the extent of 10 per cent.
The treaties are to be negotiated by the
President and ratified by the Senate.
1t had been the original intention Of the
but this purpose was abandoned because Of
the conviction that the revenue that would
be thus lost could not be spared.
The Senate judiciary committee has also
completed its draft of the antitrust amend
ment, but it has not yet been considered
by the finance COMMITTEES. 1t follows the
general lines Of the amendment offered by
Senator Nelson directed against the sugar
trust, but makes the provision Of general
application to all articles affected by the
tariff.
the finance committee has also concluded
to rescind its action providing for reci-
procity on coal, retaining the language of
the House provision, but changing the rate
SO as to provide duty Of 81 cents a long
ton on coal and Of 10 cents on slack or
culm, as against 75 cents and 80 cents,
respectively, as provided in the House bill.
The committee has decided to restore coal
tar to the free list. The announcement of
recent decision to make it dutiable caused
SO many protests that the committee has
returned to its original intention, and will
leave this article tn come in free.

HOLT WILL CASE REVIVED
Appeal Taken by Heirs-at-Law Affecting
Half the Estate.
The Portion Bcqucnthed to Miss
JOsephine Holt ThrOckmOrtOn In
vOlved-Bill Of Exceptions Signed.

Judge Bradley today signed the bill of
exceptions in the Holt will case, and the
case will probably be heard and disposed
Of by the Court of Appeals some time next
fall.
1t will be recalled that the testator Judge
Advocate General Joseph Holt died here
early in August, 1894. For more than a
year it was believed he had died intestate,
no will having been found among his ef-
fects, and letters of administration were
upon the petition of the heirs-at-law,
granted to the National Safe Deposit, Saw
ings and Trust Company.
A partial distribution of the estate, val
ued at about $20O.OO0, had been made when,
the latter part of August. 1886. purport-
ed Will was discovered in the mail of the
register Of wills. .4.....=-
This alleged will was dated February 4,
1913, and purported to have been witnessed
by President Grant. Gen. VIM. T. Sher-
man and by the latter's wife, apparently
beng in the handwriting Of the testator.
Il was cherred by contact with flames, and
no explanatory note or letter from the per-
son mailing 1t here accompanied it, even
the address on the envelope containing 1t
being in rudely printed characters.
Provisions of the VIII.
The so-called will named Luke Devlin, a
War Department clerk. as executor, and
between Miss Lizzie Hynes of Kentucky, a
cousin by marriage of Judge Holt, and
Miss Josephine Holt Throckmorton a god
child Of his. The heirs-at-law objected to
the probating Of the will, declaring it to be
a forgery, and they served notice of con-
test on the executor and beneficiaries un-
der 1t.
The trial of the case was commenced be-
fore Judge Bradley in Circuit Court No
l May Is. 1886. and the 25th of the fol-
lowing month the jury, by its verdict, set
the will aside, declaring that ii was not
made by the teStator. The defeated parties
noted an appeal to the Court of Appeals,
but Miss Hynes in return for valuable
consideration received by her from the
heirs-at-law, subsequently withdrew her
appeal and assigned and conveyed to them
her interest in and to the estate under the
alleged will.
The Distribution.
The heirs-at-law then asked the Probate
Court to order distribution among them
of one-half of the estate, that assigned to
them by Miss Hynes. That court, how
ever, denied the motion. and that particu-
lar matter was carried to the Court of Ap-
peals. the latter tribunal reversing the Pro-
bate Court. Thereupon the last named
court recently granted the request for the
distribution of one-half of the estate.
The appeal now about to be perfected In
the Court of Appeals will. of course. only
affect the half of the estate devised to Miss
Throckmorton in the alleged will, the long
delay in the making up and signing OF the
bill of exceptions being due to the inabil-
ity of counsel to sooner reach an agree
ment as to its form and contents.
