CONTEST OF WILL OF H. B. PLANT
A Report from New York Says That
 One is Probable

A Report from New York Says That One is Probable. The New York Times yesterday morning contained the following rela. tive to probable contest of the will of the late Henry B. Plant "The statement is made on the au- thority of friends of Mrs H. B. Plant widow of the founder of the Plant system of railroads and steamboats that legal proceedings will be institut- ed soon to set aside the provisions of MT Plants will and obtain for the widow and her son portion of the dead mllionaire's estate. The will pro- vided only for the payment of q stated income to Mrs. Plant and her son, the entire estate being held in trust for the benefit of grandson.
 Mrs Plant, who Is still compara lively young, was the second wife of H. B. Plant, and her son was step son of the ffnancier. It is asserted that MT. Plant desired that his estate should grow to large proportions, and there fore he refrained from dividing 1t y. own son, Mortimer, receives merely an income.
 No member of the family was in this city yesterday and at the office of the Plant system nothing was known of any contest of the will"
 Judge Lynde Harrison of this city, one of the executors of the will, was in New York yesterday afternoon and last evening and nothing could be learned here as to the probability of a contest of the will Judge Cleaveland of the probate court was out of the city to stay over Sunday and could not be seen in relation to the matter
 Under the will Mrs. Plant and Mor- timer Plant, stepson of Mir Plant were left an annual income of $90 ,0O0 In addition to creating the above nam ed annuities the will provides that the residue of the estate shall be held in trust for the first son of the testators grandson The grandson is now five years old.

THE STOCK MARK E7'.

General Movement of Prices Upward, New York, Oct 6.-With the excep- ton of some profit taking sales in the | last hour of to-day's market the move | ment of prices was upward almost without interruption. The demand was
 not large at any time. but the supply
 of stocks proved small even at the higher prices except in a few cases, | notably Southern Pacific which met large offerings al 3S The late break
 was led by Brooklyn Transit, which was pressed down under flood of of- ferings to S7, an extreme decline of 35s. The profit taking, which was in
 duced by this weakness was most
 conspicuous in Sugar and Tobacco,
 which lost nearly two points each of
 the extreme advance. The initial i'm
 pulse to the rise came from London,
 where the easier money conditions and
 a hope that a peaceful settlement of
 the Transvaal difficulty is still a possi-
 bility, induced large coverings by the
 bears in all departments. London
 bought stocks here to the extent of upwards of 15,000 shares and showed a special desire for Louisville, which
 led the active railroad list with a net advance of 1% after an extreme rise of ? points. The decline in the money rate was an important element in the strength of stocks and awakened expec-
 tations of a good bank statement to- morrow. As q matter of fact the New York banks have lost on the interior
 movement, so far as known movements are concerned about S3,000,0 ,000. Opera tions with the sub-treasury indicate a further loss by the banks of $2,S61, ,OO0. Allowing for the $2,O00000 gold received, the net loss in cash to the banks seems to be upwards of $3,500,000. The result may be complicated by the effect of money left here by visitors to the Dew ey celebration, which is an unknown quantity. The easier rates for money are largely due to offerings on account of outside banks, which will be of no advantage to the New York banks in their weekly showing. The sharp ad- vance in the sterling exchange rate here was said to be due to covering by exchange bankers, who had sold bills

.LABORI APPEALS TO
FOREIGN SOvEREIeNS.
Wilhelm and Humbert Asked to
Permit Attaches to Testify
at Rennes.
: ~ Va
THE STEP CAUSES A SENSATION
Iabori Acts without Consulting
His Colleague, NJ. Demange.-
May Appear at Rennes
on Thursday.

Rennes, Sept. IN. Laboree yester-
day afternoon telegraphed personal
appeals to Emperor William and King
Humbert to grant permission to Col
onel SchwartzlSoppen and Colonel
Panizzardi, German and Italian mill
tary attaches in Paris in 1894, to come
to Rennes to testify in the trial of
Captain Dreyfus. This is the news of
the day and the chief topic of CONVEX
sation in the cafes and resorts of the
Journalists.
The appeals were couched in elo.
quent terms, invoking the assistance
of their majesties in the name of JUS
tice and humanity. They are quite
supplementary to the formal applica-
ton that will be made by the govern
ment colnmissary, Major Carrere.
The demand of NJ. Labori that the
court-martial should issue process,
subject to the approval of the two SOW
|fereigns, came like thunderbolt at the
end of the days session. The steps is
fraught with momentous consequent
ces, as it affords Emperor William an
opportunity again to assume his ia
vorite role of arbiter of the destinies
of the world. No one will be surprised
if Colonel Schwartzkoppen, in the
name of the kaiser, makes declara-
ton that will practically decide, the
result of the trial. Both Scllwartzkop-
pen and Panizzardi must consult their
respective sovereigns before starting,
but the counsel for Dreyfus fully eN-
poets them to arrive here, if they
; come at all, in time to give their testi-
mony on Thursday, in which case the
trial would probably conclude this
week and verdict be delivered on
Friday CT Saturday.
Colonel Jouaust told NJ. Demange
ut the close of the days session that il
he received official notification that
Colonies Schwartzkoppen and Paniz-
zardi were coming to Paris he would
ment until their arrival. Forty-eight
hours would probably give them time
to get here.
remarkable circumstance, and one
that is significant of the relations be-
l. tNSNAA tAC WV CluIuSIIU NSiNOCllCS WIZ
are conducting the defense. is the fact
that NJ. Labori tclegraphed the Ger
man emperor and the king of Italy on
his own initiative, without consulting
or advising NJ. Demange.
The appearance of Colonel Schwartz
koppen and Colonel Panizzardi would
be the most sensational as we'll as the
most important incident of the entire
! trial. Their depositiQns would be q
formal and emphatic declaration that
they never had amy relations with the
accused and they would make such a
statement that the court must order-an
acquittal. Those who are in the conf
dence of the counsel entrusted with
the defense express a firm conviction
that Dreyfus will now be acquitted.
Nevertheless, one of the most prom
inent generals with whom the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press con-
versed declared himself "quite pleased
with the progress of the trial thus
far" and confident of conclusion
'eminently satisfactory to the prosecu.
