Washington, Jan. 1.--Horace Bane,
who is now in Nevada, is one of the
winners in an interesting will contest
just determined by the District of Co
lumbia supreme court. He is the son
of General Moses NJ. Bane, formerly Of
Utah, who died here several months
ago. The generals will left his prop
erty to a widow, formerly Lucy Left
witch of Richmond, whom he married
less than three months before his de-
mise.
The sons contested the will on the
ground that General Bane was of I'M
sound mind and under duress, and the
courts have sustained their contention.
MIR. CAvANAUGH ON UTAH.
Thomas S. Cavanaugh of Salt Lake
is at the Hotel Raleigh.
I'VE have felt the return tide of
prosperity very strongly in Salt Lake
City" Mr.. Cavanaugh said to the
Washington Star. I'VE are proud of
our record. however, in not having
single bank failure during the recent
panicS. There was one up in a mining
district, 1 believe, where the institution
was controlled by Salt Lake people,
but none in the city. The returns of
bullion to the city at the present time
amounts to about 100000 q day. All
the Smelters are running full time, and
we have every indication of prosperity.
You know that Utah is something of a
Klondike itself. There are IA mines in
the state which have paid more divi-
dends than all of the dividends from
the mines in Colorado. One of them
has paid 1000, co.,"
Mr.. Cavanaugh said that while, of
course, polygamy had been stamped
out in Utah, Mormonism still existed
and the church appears to exert a good
influence. 1t has no lack OF followers,
he said. The Mormons are beginning
to get out from the influence of the
church and take as much interest in
national and local affairs politically as
the Gentiles. They do not strive to
dominate affairs, however.

Incidents Connected With Van
WYck's Induction to Office.

New York, Jan. New York today
became the second city of the world,
with Robert A. Van Wyck as its mayor.
At the city hall a large crowd gathered

Ideal pieces were strewn in every di-
rcction. a tiger in yellow and black
immorteiles. resting in a bed OF roses,
V as one Of the most noticeable decora-
tions.
At 10 minutes to u Mr.. Van Wyck
entered tha office. He was greeted by
Mayor Strong, Mayor Gleason and
Mayor Wurster. The four men chatted
some time, and the big crowd OF office
holders AID eX-oflice-hoiders made a.
circle around them About one minute
before u o'clock, Mayor Strong said:
sTRoNG's STRONG POINT.
''BIr Van Wyck, the people of this
new city, made up OF five boroughs and
$500, coo people. have decided that you
should be the first mayor and descend
from your position as judge to assume
the position Of magistrate.
MY impression is that this old city
in which you and l have lived for
about the same number of years-this
old city of New York that is passing
away-will contribute three billions of
dollars worth of property TO the new
city of which you will be mayor; $780,
600, 900 of banking stock, and 81 100000
100 os deposits. And you Will take
charge of this little borough along with
the others, and you will always feel, l
know, that it is the brightest little jewel
in the cluster of five. You have been
chosen the chief executive of one of
the largest cities in the world. 1 con-
graduate you. and welcome you as
mayor of Greater New York
VAN WYCK'S REPLY.
Mayor Van Wyck, in reply, said:
'The people have chosen me TO be
mayor. l received the office from them
and to them / will answer"
After . great shaking of hands, the
ceremony was completed, and the adj
Of Mayor Strong was a
thing Of the past.
A good contingent of Brooklynites ac-
companied Bird S. Coler when he took
charge of the conotroller's Office. Mr..
Coler announced several minor appoint
ments and got through the ceremony
of induction with little ado.
REFUSE TO YIELD.
Coroners Hoeber- and Tuthin hold that
their term of office had not expired,
and refused to give possession to
Messrs. Fitzpatrick and Hart, elected
under the new charter. The
new officials, however, obtained en-
trance into the offices and assumed the
functions of the places. Messrs. Hoe
her and Tuthill say they will appeal to
the courts.

THAT FLAG INCIDENT.
Federal Authorities Not Disturbed

Federal Authorities Not Disturbed
- By Cipperton Island Affair.
Washington, Jan. 1.-The story of the
dispossession of a party of Americans
from Clipperton Island by d Mexican
gunboat, as reported by an incoming
steamer at San Francisco, as yet has
had no official confirmation. All that
is known at the Mexican legation here
is that vague rumors were afloat that
the British had taken possession of the
island and that with a view to ascer-
tanning the sovereignty of Mexico over
it, a warship was sent there to main
tain her claim.
The department of state has nothing
at all on the subject but is not dis
turbed over the news. The law permits
an American citizen to locate on any
island such as Clipperton solely for the
purpose of taking off the guanO, but it
must be affirmatively shown that the
island is not part of the territory of
another nation at the time of location
AS to Clipperton Island, therefore, it is
simply question as to the prior right
Of Mexico to title, and the impression
here is that her title is as good as was
that of Brazil to the island of Trinidad
which was sought by the British for
a cable station. 1t is recalled here
that in two cases the United States
government relinquished islands lying
in the Bay of Honduras to Mexico I'M
der similar circumstances to the pres
ent case, upon proof Of Mexican title

SINGULAR MINE ACCIDENT.
Flooded By an Underground River
Thirty-Five Lost.

Chicago, Jan. IA special to the
Times Herald from San Antonio, Tex,
says:
a dispatch from Guanalajara, Mex
leo, says: The San Puerta coal NINE
near here, was suddenly flooded with
water from an underground river, and
that 50 miners were drowned.
The men were at work in one of the
lower levels of the mine. There was no
suspicion that an underground river ex-
listed anywhere within the vicinity of
the mine, although that portion of the
level was exceedingly damp.
The rush Of water came without
warning. There was a sharp, crack
like explosion; the wall of coal and
slate gave way and before the men
could seek safety or an upper level, the
rush of water followed, and the men
were swallowed up almost before they
could drop their tools.
An expedition will be sent into the
mine as soon as possible to recover
the bodies.

EMBEZZLER NABBED.
Capture of Mabry, Who Robbed an
Express Office In Georgia.

Savannah, Ga, Jan. Up. H. Mabry,
agent of the Southern Express com
pany at Brunswick, Ga, who embezzled
more than $4,000 from the agency there
last Wednesday and escaped, was cap
tured today about four miles from Sa-
vannah. Mabry was searched, and
$4,000 was found on him. Mabry said
he had spent only $1.55. He came
through the woods from Brunswick to
Savannah, walking all the way, about
100 miles, being afraid to take any of
the trains, as he was well known. Ma
bry said his Office had been short for

consent to a postponement of the pay
ment of the war indemnity, as possibly
foreshadownig a China-Japan alliance.
The financial barometer does not
show any trepidation, consols even i'm
proving. There is not the slightest sign
of the selling which always marks real
Improvement in the political horizon,
and there are signs of reaction in the
long continued depreciation in land.
The Improvement is attributed partly
TO the rise in the price of wheat, and
partly to the cheapness of money. Cap
italists are glad even of the beggarly
interest yielded by land investments.
