Fortune Left to Science.

By his will the late Alfred Nobel, the
Swedish dynamite manufacturer, left
almost the whole of his fortune to be
converted into an international fund
for the advancement of scientific re-
search. The beques&, however, was dis
puted by the relatives of the deceased,
and litigation ensued. It is now an
fnounced that compromise has been
reached whereby the relatives receive
about 81, 100000 of the property, the bal
ance, amounting to about 81 1000, 900, be-
ing used as designated by Mr.. Nobel.
This will give, under the terms of the
will, five prizes nnually of about SAL
600 each to persons making the most
important discovery in physics, chem
:istry, physiology or medicine. $

SAM MARTIN is NOT DEAD S
That Any body Knows Of What VIII
Martin (joofesses TO.

Guthrie. Q. T., May Special)- The
reported death of Sam Martin. at Mulhall
yesterday afternoon, as a result of wounds
received in tn eduel with sheriff's officers
early yesterday morning, was apparently
q canard and no word has yet come from
Sheriff Reinhart, who went TO Mulhal to
commence a search for the fugitive. VIII
Martin, the brother, who was perforated
with BIB shot and made a prisoner, has
been removed from the county JAZZ TO
comfortable room, and it is now thought
his wounds will not prove fatal. The
father OF the Martin boys came TO the
city last evening and engaged counsel to
prosecute the sheriffs officers who were
engaged in yesterdays shooting affair,
and there is an apparent effort to create
sympathy for the boys by the circulation
of reports as to their good reputation as
quiet and peaceable citizens. accompanied
with the intimatiou that they were wan
1only shot down. This impression is re-
1uted. however. by VIII Martins own
statements since his Imprisonment. In
telling the story OF the battle With the
officers he admitted that he fired the first
three shots, after which the fire was re-
turned by the officers. He said further
that he ~ made a yo wnever 20 be
taken alive by the officers, and the brace
OF new revolvers with which he and his
brother each were armed hardly confirm
the peaceful reputation with which their
friends seek to surround them.

GABLE FROM kAJIZ
Announcing the Arrival of the
Commission at Apia.
NATIVES READY TO FIGHT
On Any Provocation-- Mataafa
Makes a Startling Claim.

Washington, May 25.-The following
cablegram has been received at the navy
department. dated Apia, May Is. via Aack-
! land:
Secretary Navy, Washington: Badger
arrived on May ID. The Philadelphia will
leave SO as to reach San Francisco about
June %. Commission may desire to return
on the Badger.
(signeO 'KAUTz.'
The American member OF the Samoan
commission, Mr.. Bartlett Trip, did not
make any report by cable to the state
department today and all the Department.
information OF the movements OF the COM
mission came from the naval cablcgra,n
and the press dispatches. Pending Ire
reported approval by the commission Of
Admiral Kautz's acts, it can be stated that
little doubt was entertained here that
such would be the result Wlen these acts
were examined dispassionareiy by fair
minded men of large calib-s, Just as they
received the approval Of the president and
Secretary Hay after careful consideration.
Admiral Kautz's position as senior naval
officer at Apia will be taken by Captain
Goodrich, the commander of the cruiser
Newark, upon the arrival of that vessel
at Apia Captain Goodrich is highly re-
garded at the navy department.
New York, May 25.--Atee.i Kautz will
return to sle United States with the Phil
adelphia. Me flagship will be replaced at
Apia by the cruiser Newark, which IS as
formidable in every respect as the Phila-
delphia, and having recently been removal
ted, is in shape for long service. She was
started for Apia about six week ago from
New York, making her way around South
America. She sailed on the 18th instant
from Montevideo, Uruguay, for Valparaiso.
Chile, and at the latter port will receive
her instructions to put straight across the
Pacic for Apia. The Newark IS due at
Valparaiso about the end of this week
and, taking a few days to coal, should
make the passage across the Pacific by
the middle Of June. When the commission
sailed from San Francisco it was not set
tied whether or not the Badger was TO re-
main at Apia awaiting the convenience
of the commission. 1t was supposed that
the commission would decide that matter
for themselves; if their mission could be
soon executed, then the Badger would
wait. The intimation contained in Admi-
raj Kautz's cablegram that the commits
sion may desire to return on the Badger
is therefore construed at the state de-
partment into an indication that it ex-
poets TO make short work Of the adjust
ment of the Samoan imbroglio. OF course
the desire Of the commission will be re-
spected by the navy department and in
structions will at once be forwarded to
Captain Miller of the aBdger to remain
at Apia-
