the bockkeeper for Durham, Yelling
 & Co., were made executors. His es-
 tate amounted to S350 0G0. Butts died,
 and the widow left the handling of the
 estate in the hands Of her brothec-in-
 law, Thomas Welling. The sum Of
 S150,000 was divided among about thir-
 ty heirs and the balance was left in
 trust for the widow, and cn her death it was to be divided among his heirs.
 For years Thomas Yelling paid her 900 a year, as provide by the will, and divided up the ba ance of the in come from the estate among the heirs. Each year he made affidavit before the surrogate that he had S130,000 in secur- ities belonging to this trust in a safe deposit vault in New York, his books being shown to prove where and wha. these securities were.
 On November 13 last Thomas We'll ing died, and his executors were his two sons, Thomas and William R. Yelling. The former livsd on the Yelling homestead, which his father promised him long before his death, and he had expended several thousand dollars on it's buildings. The two sons, by the widows attorney, F. " Sanford, of Warwick, went to New York to secure the gilt-edg d se- curities supposed to be in the deposit box. They found, however, that $67, 7,OO0 of the amount supposed to be there was missing. Later an investigation of inc effects of their father produced voucA- l CTS which showed that for several years he had been sp.cu,ating in Wall street. | The story became known ca tEe Eelrs, and so many rumors were afloat that the executors gave cut the facts Of the i ,ase.

CORPS COMMANDERS.
It Is Understood That Lawton Will
 Succeed Chaffee.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The command Of the Fourth corps, with headquarters at Huntsville, Ala, is now held tempo rarily by General Chaffee, but it is un- derstcod that General Lawton will be the permanent corps commander in stead of assuming command of the Second corps, which is now under .or- ders to go 70 Cuba, as has been report ed. The Fourth corps is known as a reserve corps, and up to this time has received no orders looking to it's move ment or participation in garrison duty
 It is said at the war department that no change has been made in the pur- pose of the department respecting these garrisons for Cuba, as laid down in or der No. 176. published at the da;se of is sue, and which is now in process of iex- ecutiOn. The only likelihood of change hereafter in the order is in the direc- tion of reducing the number of soldiers to bo assigned to the garrisons, in view of the favorable reports coming to the department respecting the temper of the Cuban people toward the plans of the United States.

UNCLE CoLLIs IS COMING.
The Great Southern Pacific Magnate
 Heading This Way.

|. is reported that c. P Huntington has decided to close up the gap between San Diego and Yuma, and immediately begin the work Of building the long talked-of and long deferred railroad. The line of the Southern Pacific will also be extended from Tustin to San Diego.
 When Huntington was in San Diego eight years ago he said the Yuma rail- road would be bull. when it could guar .ntee four per cent on the bonds. The establishment of the California & Ori- entaI steamship line has probably con- vinced him either that the four per cent is in sight, or he wants to divide wi h the Santa Fe.
 Southern Pacific agents have been quietly at work the past few weeks and have secured ample terminal facilities and rights Of way.

INDIAN CONTRACT SCHOOLS.
A Petition for the Rcopening of the
 Question.

Washington. Dec. 13.-Considerable interest has been created in congress sional circles by the introduction of a petition by Representative Mcintyre of Maryland from Cardinal Gibbons of the Catholic. church, asking for a reopen ing of ,he question Of Indian contract schools. It is well known, of course, that the recent policy Of congress has been opposed to seG-arian government aided schools.
 The cardinals petition, in behalf of himself and other Catholic archbish- history of Catholic Indian schools at length, and pleads in behalf of their continuance. The petition concludes as follows:
 wherefore we most respectfully pe- tition the congress of the United States to reopen the question of the contract school system and to go over again WIth delfDeration and care the whole subject Of Indian education, so that in some way to be determined by the con- gress both the government school Sys- tenn and the contract school system may be considered upon their merits, and the schools that have been op- erated under these systems may be in vestigated, not in the routine manner Of the executive Apartment, but by a committee Of congress, in Ccder that what is at fault in their management may be denounced and what is excel lent therein may be shown by public report and not kept as a secret of state

NICARAGUA CANAL.
Attitude Of the British Fore gn Office
 in Regard to It.

London, Dec. 13.-Current Am5rican specul2tions ever the control Of the Nicaragua canal are considered here to be premature. The foreign office r5- gards tha Clayton-Bulwer treaty as the starting point fer new negotiations, ne cessitated by the new conditions. S1ch II gotiations can scarcely be s1id to have begun.
 When the time is ripe the British government will pursue them in an all together friendly spirit but Lord Sails bury will have due regard for English Interests in the naturalization Cf the canal Beyond ths principle correlated problems remain altogether unsettled, having not yet received any definite consideration.
 The continental powers which have commercial and stratsgical interests ln the Pacific, which they must protect by strict naturalization Of the canal, will also have to be consulted before final plan is adopted.

THE BIG FIRE AT YUMA
It was inc Greatest Disaster Since
 the Flood of 1891.

The disastrous fire at Yuma week ago started from an unknown cause in the Vienna bakery and had attained such headway before it was discover ed that five business houses were con sumed before it was brought under con- trol Every available means of figh-- ing fire was brought into service, and willing hands worked faithfully until the danger was over.s The flames spread in Doun directions from the Vii enna bakery and were only stopped by the heroic work of the volunteer fire fighters at I-eger's saloon on the north and John Stoffela's store on the south.
 The principal losers were Gandolfo 6 Sanguinetti, on buildings and machin- cry, $2,500. The Vienna bakery, on stock and fixtures, $500. A. T. Hill, stock and tools, $100. Wiley & Mar cello, jewelry and confectionery, $500. c. D. Baker, store building and shoe shop, $500. Jack Dunne, building and saloon fixtures, $2,500. John Stoffela, damage to building and stock $1,800. P. B. Hodges, meat market, stock and fixtures, S1,000. L. J. F. Iaeger, damage to stock and fixturess $3G0. Joe Gum, damage to restaurant supplies and fix lures, $500. Manuel Molina, barber shop fixtures, $100. T. T. Newman, lunch counter, $100. David Balz, meat market, damage to stock and fixtures, $50 C. V. Meeden, damage to saloon stock and fixtures, $500. o. H. Willis, damage to confectionery stock, $100. The only ones fortunate enough to have insurance were c. D. Baker, $250. and Jack Dunne, $1 1000; the balance being total loss.
 The town was full of hobos and eholos and the peace officers had busy time to prevent wholesale stealing. About dozen thieves were caught in the act of carrying off goods and were promptly knocked down and dragged to jail. The entire burnt district will be immediately rebuilt with substantial brick structures. The unfortunate los CTS in the fire have all resumed busi- ness again, but most of them will be slightly handicapped until the new buildings are completed.

SUNG IN A SPANISH CHURCH
American Soldiers Heard "The Star
 Spanaied Banner"

San Juan has very good opera house facing the plaza of Columbus.
 There was hope that a company ad-
 vertising in Ponce might be induced to
 extend its journey to the capital The
 play they were offering was advertised
 as "El Gran Drama Americana, La
 Cabana de Tio Tom,'' and, as had seen
 it a year before in Key West, perform
 ed by an amateur troupe of negroes,
 under the more familiar name Of ''Un-
 cle Toms Cabin,' with little Eva who
 was as black as coal and whose hair
 was as kinky as wool, I cherished
 tender memory of the play and regret
 ted not to see it in Spanish. Most of
 the foreign entertainments reaching
 Porto Rico are those on their way to Havana and Mexico from Europe. They
 stop over one boat and usually do pret-
 ty good business in the capital. Loie
 Fuller has danced there and I believe Patti once sang in this same theater.
 Changing from theaters to churches, the traveller in Porto Rico will find much to interest him in the places Of worship throughout the island. The old church of Ponce stands in the main plaza, backed by tho gorgeous oriental structure which does duty for a fire de- partment building. The church is one of the old ones Of the island, exceeding ly pictuI esque without, but does net contain much ornamentaoion or many relics of particular value.
 At Guayama the music was excellent and services were always well attend ed. The padre there was a fine old Spanish gentleman, who loved his peo- pie and his church and was proud of the fact that except for the cathedral in San Juan he had the best church in the island. He took us about he old build ing from top to bottom, showing every chapel and every shrine with genuine pleasure. On Sunday morning at high mass came a peculiar thing. At the end of the services, for a recessional, the organist far up in the loft touched his keys and through this old Catholic church in an obscure village in Porto Rico there sounded "The Star Span | gped Banner The variations impro- viSed were beautiful. The melody it. 1 self was kept little in ,-he background, Obscured bit by the florid music that accompanied it, but it was ,here beyond a doubt. Perhaps the Spanish wor- shippers did not recognize the unfamil- | far strains for whae they were. The i did. All ever the church | there were American soldiers and off cers who had been present as worship cars or spectators. When the identity of the music came to them there were heads uplifted and brightening eyes and glances of recognition hat meant l great deal
 I hunted up the old padre and asked lim about it.
 ''Yes," he said, "it was intentional I lsked the organist in the morning if le knew the American national hymn. t He said that he did, so I asked him to play it as a recessional. I thought it would please the Americans"
 l. did please them, and the old priest :ould not have done a more generous hing Cr one that would have been bet CT app:eciated.-Lette to the Chicago Record i
