Washington, Nov. 29.-Baron Speck
Won Sternberg. charge d'affaires Of
Germany, called at the state depart
ment yesterday and had conference
with Secretary Hay on current topics.
particularly those growing out of the
late war, in the course of which the
baron took occasion to express the
most friendly sentiments on the part
of Germany concerning the present
status of affairs. The call was chiefly
significant as an evidence that German
officials desire to counterfeit the re

Fusion Goes MerriIy On.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. July 12.-The
democratic state convention was called
to order in the exposition building at
noon today by J. w. Orr, of Cham
paign, chairman of the state central
committee. Almost simultaneously the
state convention of the fusion populists
was called to order by Chairman J. A.
Crawford. The holding of the two con-
ventions at the same time is regarded
rs evidence that the candidates
nominated by the democrats will re-
ceive the Endorsement of the fusion
wing of the populist party
which is headed by DR.. Howard S.

here in n ~ when the middle-of-the-
road meu secured control of the state
committee. This afternoon ia being
occupied with routine business in both
conventions and it is hardly likely
that the nominations will be reached
before late this evening or tomorrow
morning. The candidates to be no
minated are state treasurer, superin-
tendent of public instruction and two
trustees of the University of Illinois.

Jim Burns's Wills.

Last afternoon City Recorder Chas
B. Patterson asked the county court
to appoint him temporary administrat-
or in the estate of the late Jim Burns
Judge Harper complied with the re-
quest and Patterson was duly appoint
ed by Judge Harper. Mr.. J. J; Taylor,
who claims to have the last will made
by Burns and who is the administrator
asked for in each OF
the Instruments, protested
against the appointment of Patterson,
so the court will hear the arguments
by both sides tomorrow afternoon at
two o'clock.
There being q good deal of discus
sion in the matter HERALD reporter
at once began to investigate the matter
with the following results.
From the facts that could learned; it
seems that about two years ago the law
firm of Patterson & Wallace, who had
always attended to Burns legal busi-
ness, was called in to draw up . will
for him. Mr.. Wallace of the above
firm drew up the papers, and by this
will J. J. Taylor was appointed admin
istrat0r, and directed s6rst to pay his
outstanding debts, and then to give
the remainder of the estate to r. Lamb
his half brother, the only living near
relative he had.
Now MIR. Patterson comes forward
and produces q document of later date
which he claims to be the last will Of
Mr.. Burns. By this will Burns leaves
his half brother, r. Lamb, only $500,
ana Recorder Patterson receives all
the balance, and by this document that
Mr.. Patterson produces, j. j. Taylor Is
also named as executor.
In talking of the matter with the
HERALD'S man, Recorder Patterson
said: "Well, you see Burns really
made three wills and when he made
the first he sent for US and we went to
him and drew it up for him. In this
will he left the property to me. Not
long after that he sent
for me again and went,
and this time drew up the will for
him that Mr.. Taylor has in his keep
ing. Then again not long after that
was sent for again to make another
will. I said to him: Il don't ewant,
to draw up another will for You; what
is the matter with the other ones?'
But he insisted, and 80 told him to
go to the Office and Wallace would
draw up the necessary papers for him.
Mr.. Burns did go to the Office and this
last will was drawn up and properly
signed in the presence of witness
ses.
'NOw this last will was placed in the
vault of NeWman's q bank for safe keep
ing, until Judge Falvey got q large
safe, and as that is where we keep ali
our legal papers Mr.. Wallace got tho
will among other papers and put them
in Judge Falvey's safe.''

WASHINGTON, July r. The cabi-

remained with him until 1890. It was
an unfruitful session according to re-
ports. In reply to the question, "Do
you think Watson's fleet will sail for

q member of the cabinet said:
81 do, for even if nothing else should
result from the voyage it will be a

of Spain, of the resources and limitless
ability of the United States and it's
