DIR. EVANS WILL TO BE CONTESTED.
Announcement Made by Attorney of a
Nephew, DudOIf Evans.

Announcement Made by Attorney of n
Nephew, DudoIf Evans.
A special cable dispatch to the Philadel-
pbia Press from Paris says:
The will of the millionaire dentist, Thos
w. Evans, who attempted to bequeath the
most of his fortune, amounting to some
thing like $l0,OO0,O 600. TO the establishment
of dental institute and museum named
after himself, in Philadelphia, is to be
contested.
The matter came up In the Palais de
Justice Saturday. and a lawyer represent
ing Rudolf H. Evans, brother of the
famous dentist. announced that he would
contest the will, though by SO doing he
forfeits $4,000 left him by his brother, a
clause in the will disinheriting any legatee
who shall attempt to contest.
Rudolf Evans is the father of the Mar
quis Doyley, nephew of DR.. Evans, who
is also a dentist in Paris, and whom DR..
Evans took great pains to disinherit. The
will expressly states that neither the Mar
quis Doyley, who was originally John
Henry Evans nor any of his descendants
shall receive anything from Thomas w.
Evans estate, this clause in the will,
reading, This 1 do after mature refiec-
ton and for reasons known as well to the
said John Henry Evans as to me-"
These reasons, according to Thomas w.
Evans. We're that John Henry wore deco
rations to which he had no right; that he
assumed the title of baron without au-
thority from the college of heralds; that
he falsified the Evans family tree to suit
his own purposes, and finally succeeded in
being made Marquis Doyiey by the pope.
John Henrys decorations were particu-
larly disagreeable 10 Thomas w., who look
ed upon the other as a presumptous imi-
tator of himself, the most decorated man

another is extant Is now given up and a

Government Negotiating With New
York Capitalists for n Loan.

York Capitalists for n Loan.
From the New York Journal today:
The Mexican government, which has hith-
erto invariably gone to Europe for Its finan-
cial accommodation, has turned to this
country at last. Negotiations have been
opened with ]. & w. Seligman & Co., the
bankers of this city, for the refunding Of
the entire national gold debt of the rcpub-
lie, commonly known as the external debt,
which amounts to about 500 ,00J, 900. 1t
bears interest at 6 per cent in gold, and Is
redeemable July next.
The report excited interest in Wall street
yesterday, inasmuch 1t is the first time
chat any foreign country has undertaken to
are considering the Mexican proposition
moreover, brings out with particular prom
inence the fact that this is no longer a
debtor, but credit nation. Hitherto it has
owed money to Europe. Now it is Europe,
thanks to the phenomenal wheat market,
and the equally remarkable boom in export
trade of manufactured goods, that owes
America money.
AS was remarked yesterday, it will not be
long before other Spansh-American, If not
European nations, will follow Mexico's ex-
ample and come to the United States when
they have loans to raise.
At the office of Seligman & Co. informa-
| ton was refused yesterday regarding the
pending negotiations. They said 1t was too
early to discuss the matter.
The bonds representing Mexico's external
loan are largely held in England, Germany
and Holland. The scheme, it is understood
is to issue new bonds in their place, in or
der to scale the interest down from 6 to Az
! or per cent. While the matter is in the
hands of the New York bankers, it is be-
lieved that European capitalists have been
approached with view of taking whatever
portion of the big issue may be left after
American investors have sent in their SUBJ
scriptions.
