THINKS WAR rs CERTAIN.
The Chinese Minister to st. Peters
burg Believes 1t.

london, Aug. ga special dispatch
from Shanghai says:
1t is stated that the Chinese minister
at St. Petersburg has reported to his gov
j eminent that in his opinion the Chinese
question will precipitate a conflict be-
tween Great Britain and Russia.
This state of affairs, he says, is brought
l. about by the British ambassador present.
2 ing note to St. Petersburg of such a
peremptory nature, demanding free access
Of enterprise in regions where Russian in
fuence is supposed to predominant, that
Count Muravieff can not accept 1T.
The Chinese minister expects that a
conflict will certainly break out before
/ the end of the year.
Hussian Note Discussed.
/ Washington, Aug. 29.-The circular
note directed by the Russian foreign min
lister to members of the diplomatic body
at st. Petersburg has attracted the ear
1 nest attention of officials here. 1t Is sup
posed from the terms of the note publish
ed that a copy was directed to Mr..
Hitchcock, the United States ambassador
at the Russian capital, but SO far nothing
has been heard by cable from him to that
Iefect.
/ 1t is believed the victory achieved by
the United States in the late war was IL
contributing factor in the preparation OF
NE note. 1t is surmised the victory
made it clear to the European statesmen
mat to maintain the balance OF power
taey would be obliged to redouble expen-
utures on account of the army and navy,
tlse they might be outstripped by the
Omitted States.
4 The official mind here looks upon the
russian project for general disarmament
h Utopian at this time. And while any
atement as to the attitude of the Unit
FL States toward such conference as
proposed is purely conjectural in advance
reception of the invitation, the iIu-
preston prevails that our government
.0uid not care to take any active part

of the Peace Latta, who married Byrne
to Mrs. Byrne No. 2.
The defense on cross-examination
attempted to show that the identihca-

witness had seen neither Byrne nor
the woman from the day the ceremony
was performed until yesterday.
Mrs. Byrne No. ! is now at the city

her mind is affected by reason of the
trouble she has gone through. One of
her children, boy aged eleven years,
is at the Home for the Friendless, and
the other, girl of four years. is at
the Catholic orphan asylum. After the
state had introduced it's evidence the
attorney for the defendant Stan J.
Donnelly waived examination.
Judge Orr held Byrne to await the
action Of the grand Jury and fixed the
bail at $4,000. Byrne, after a talk with

COMO BOILER CONTRACTS.
Park Board Awards Them, Subject
to Some Further Inquiry.

At a meeting Of the park board held
yesterday afternoon the contract for
the building and putting in of boilers
at the Como pumping station was let
The awarding Of the contract was con-
ditional. The board had a lengthy dis
cussion about the matter, for it was not
clear in the bids of the lowest bidders
as to who would put the boilers in
place. 1t was finally agreed that Rob-
irson & Cary should have the contract
for the building of the boilers, and that
0. Boyer should have the contract for
the brick work. 1t was provided, how
ever, that Supt. Nussbaumer should see
the parties and find out who should put
the boilers in place.
Boyer made bid of S749 for the brick
work on the foundation for the boilers.
Robinson & Cary offered to build the
boilers and put them on the grounds
at Como for the sum of $1,103. There
was apparently nobody to mount the
boilers. If the parties bidding agree
that the boilers shall be put in place,
then the contract will be confirmed.
John Kenny, who was the highest bid
der on the whole job Of building the
boilers and putting them in place. was

with Stealing Coal.

August Haflke, living at AIT East
Fifth street, was in the police court
yesterday charged with larceny. The
complaint made by Special Officer Co.
gan charged that Hafke stole coal from
the st. Paul s. Duluth road. Cogan
said that when Hafke was taken into
custody he had a sack containing about
fifty pounds of coal, and he was posi-
tive that the prisoner had taken some
OF the coal from a loaded car
Hafke said he had q wife and three
children and no fuel. He had been en-
ployed by Fielding & ShepIey as a la
borer, but was not working now. There
was no fuel in the house, and as he had
seen people walking along the tracks
picking up coal he took bag and
started out. He denied that he had
taken any coal from the filed cars,
but admitted he had swept up some Of
the coal which was left in cars after be-
ing unloaded. This was the first time
he had ever done anything of the kind,
and he promised not to repeat the Of
Tense.
Relief Agent Hutchins informed the
court he would investigate, and Judge

The stewardship of the St Paul
Trust company, in the handling of the
kittson estate, Is to be investigated.
Petitions on behalf of all the heirs
We're filed yesterday protesting against
the allowance of the final account of
the company as administrator and
praying that the previous accountings
be reviewed. The petitions allege
fraud on the part of the company in
using the funds Of the estate and con-
use.
There are three of the petitions and
In each one several of the heirs are
named All of the suits are identical,
and when they were filed yesterday the
answer Of the trust company was fled
with them. The petitions specifically
pray that an order be entered by the
probate court setting aside the various
orders confirming accountings and al
lowing the fees claimed by the COM
pany. The last accounting, now pre-
sented for confirmation, shows that the
trust company has on hand in cash
some $1,000. The aecountings made and
the present condition of the estate are
quite beyond the conception of a lay
man, and nothing is to be CLEANED as
to the actual state of the trust
There have been in all five account
fngs made Of the trust. The first shows
that the executor had on hand in cash
$685., 600, the second shows a balance of
$500, 400, the third $425, 055, the fourth
does not state the amount and in the
final there is about $4,000. At various
times these accountings have been
passed upon by the court and confirm
ed. On the first accounting there was
allowed in fees $14,225, on the second
Sl6,65O, on the third $4,000, on the
fourth $1,000. The claim on the fifth
has not been computed or allowed, but
the claim is a large one.
Daniel Murphy, acting for the heirs,
alleges that the trust company used
the large sums of money held at vari-
Gus times for the heirs, for it's own
purposes, that 1t placed the money out
at interest and converted the interest
that the money was held in bank at
times and checked out by the trustee
as its own, and that in all these things
there was fraud practiced on the heirs.
1t Is alleged that the company had no
claim to the fees allowed by the court,
and demand Is made that all orders
made as to the previous accountings be
set aside and the stewardship be re-
viewed from the start. There are
eleven OF the heirs represented in the
various petitions, and it Is claimed as
cause OF action that they were not
properly notified Of the hearings on the
accountings and were not represented
al the hearings.
The trust company In its answer sets
up the record of the court and claims
that ali of the hearings and account
ings were in accordance with the law
and that the plaintiffs were all proper
ly notified of the hearings before hear
ings were had.

L. Where parties make mutual eXecutory
contract for the sale Of real estate, and the
vendor covenants on his part to convey the
land, and in consideration thereof the ven
dee promises to pay the purchase price, ana
there Is nothing in the contract which makts
1t invalid or Objectionable In It's nature nor
in the circumstances connected with it. equity
regards the vendee as the beneficial owner
of the premises. even though he has not paid
the purchase price, and the vendor has
right to enforce payment OF the purchase
money by suit in equity against the ven
dee's equitable estate In the land, instead Of
by an ordinary action OF law TO recover the
debt And the vendor may proceed to enforce
specific performance by such suit, whereby
the vendee'S equitable estate under the en-
tract is sold in pursuance of judicial de-
cree, which will operate as an assignment Of
the vendees rights under the contract, and
whereby it would not operate q cancelati lon
of the contract itself.

sound discretion, grant withhold decree
for specific performance OF an eXecutory real
estate contract, tnls ulscfeuCn Is net an arp
trary or capricious one, but judicial and If
the contract has been entered into by COM
petsnt party, and is not Objectionable in its
nature and circumstances, specific perfo m
ance is as much a matter CT course, and the,e-
fore of right as are damages. The dsere-
ton Of the court exists only so far as it must
necessarily judge whether, under all the
circumstances, the contract Is, or Is not an
equitable one. When that fact is determined
judicial discretion ceases.
Held, That under the rules Of law here
enunciated and all of the facts and circum-
stances in this case. 1t was error for the trial
court to refuse specific performance of the
contract. Order reversed. Buck, ].
