Arguments in the Handley will case
were continued yesterday before Judge
Acheson in the United States circuit
court at Williamsport. Ex-Judge Jes-
sup made the opening for the claim
ants and was followed by Col George
II. Starr. Ex-Attorney General Pal
mer made the principal argument for
the defendant.
The fight has been narrowed down to
the question of whether or not the city
of Winchester can be residuary lega-
tee, the defendants having admitted
that the claimants are first cousins OF
the late judge and his next of kin.
The assailants of the will allege de-
fects that will invalidate the whole
instrument. The omission of "sched-
uleA," they claim. affects with uncer-
tainity not only the residuary clause.
but the later provisions of the viii.
because they are more or less depen-
dent upon schedule A" for the
amount of property they are intended
to devise.

figures are PIP. .s22 .642 yards. as against 211,- 454.O94 yards in the first eight months of 1897. The difference between the two years has been greatly enlarged since the close of the first eight months. and the years trade promises to show a gain over that of the previous year of fully 50.0OO,0O0 yards.
 This Chinese trade that Russia is trying to interfere with, and that Germany and France would be glad to assist in monopo- liking. is very important to southern cotton milling interests. All expansion is neces- sarily based upon it; and 1t is difficult to see how any one who desires to see this country's trade extended, and who espe- cially desires to see more cotton mills built in the south, can conscientiously op- pose the gaining of a good foothold near opment of cotton milling in the south is involved in the Philippine problem, and the south above any other section should favor the retention of the entire group. The trade of 1O,0OO,OOO Filipinos is not a small matter, and the trade of the near-at-hand myriads of Chinese is of deep and far-reaching im- portance. We have no reasonable prospect of retaining and enlarging our trade op- portunities in China unless we have a foot hold, base, in that neighborheod, as Eng land, France. Germany, Russia and Japan have. Our rivals are all there.
