THEIR EFFORTS
WERE FUTILE

New York. May IA special to the
Tribune from Montreal says: The eff
1orts OF the boards Of trade and ommer-
clal bodies in Canada to secure the pas
sage OF uniform insolvency act for Cam
ada have again failed. Word comes from
ottawa that the bill introduced by Mr..
fortin, representing the wishes of the
boards OF trade, will not be successful a $
the government refuses to give it's SIM
port. The last insolvency act was re-
pealed Just twenty years ago and no
measure to take it's place has ever proved
acceptable to parliament The chief rea-
son ls the hostility of the commercial
bodies to the extension of the privileges
OF such an act to the farmers and the
present determination Of the members
VINO represent country constituents to
Dlock any bill which exempts the farmers
from Its operations.
The banks are also unwilling to forego
thelr preference and rank as other credi-
tors. Besides, the government is not anx-
ious to see such measure on the statute
book for 1T would have to deal at once
with the accumulated bankruptcies of 20
years and the result would be an abnor-
mai parent Increase in failures, which
would be used politically to the disadvan-
tage OF the government. The absence of
such a law is said to exercise depressing
erect on the growth of trade between
Canada and the United States and Great
Britain, the British merchants declining
to give credits in he absence of such a
law for the distribution OF assets.

LARGE ESTATE

Chicago, May GA special to the
chronicle from Marshaltown. Ia, saws:
The courts have been resortet1 to to set
tie the estate of the late H. f.. F. Board
man of this city and already several ;e-
gal steps have been taken, which seem
to be prelude to one of the most stub
born legal battles in the history of Iowa.
II. b. J. Boardman was ONE of the pioneer
Sesldents or Iowa. He was a shrewd
business man as we'll as lawyer and as
result accumulated fortune estimated
at $l,5OO,OOO. He died few weeks ago,
leaving widow and two children by a
former wife-Mrs. Della l.. B. Conoyer
of Chicago and Miss Annette Gookin-
Boardman. When the will was probatei
the fact developed that Boardman lefs
but few thousand dollars, one-third of
which was willed to the widow. The 9th.
er property had been disposed of before
death to his daughter, Mrs. Conover. it
is alleged, and to a nephew, G. H. +.
Boardman, the latter being named trus-
tee. The other daughter, Miss Boardman,
is feeble minded, but was amply remem-
bered in the WILL which provided that she
should be cared for by his sister, Mrs
Conover
The widow has instituted suit asking
that the nephew and the daughter be
compelled to disgorge all the money and
property given them by Boardman in the
last days of his life. The court issued All
order requiring c. H. E. Boardman to
turn over the bonds and property belong
ing to the receiver of the estate. This
order Boardman refused to obey and he
was taken into custody and sub jected to
an investigation. The widow also sue
ceedcd in securing from the court an Or
der for the possession Of the feeble mind
ed daughter, Annette. Annette has been
in Denver for several months, but was at
the time the order was issued on her way
to Chicago in care of several Sisters of
Humility, who were to turn her over to
her sister. The party passed through
yesterday but was over
hauled at Belle Plain, a few miles east Of
here, by the sheriff, armed with the order
Of court, who took possession OF Annette,
brought her back to Marshalltown and
placed her in the custody Of Mrs. Board

says: Admiral Dewey will leave Manila
on Saturday morning the goth inst If
all goes well, he will arrive here next
Monday morning. Arrangements have
been made here to put the Olympia, the
admiral's flagship, in dry dock as soon
as she arrives. Her long sojourn in
tropical waters has fouled her bottom so
badly that she will need a thorough
scraping insorder to fit her for her trip
across the Indian ocean. There are
other matters, too, that will need to be
looked after. Her machinery will be
completely overhauled. New trim will
be added. and the gingerbread" work,
which was dispensed with at the time
she was put in war rig, will be replaced
She will be coaled and provisioned here,
and when she steams out of the harbor
about two weeks hence she will be in
shape to make another record breaking
voyage with her record breaking ad-
miral.

New York, May 19.-Martin Victor, 1s
years old. is prisoner in the Yorkville
police court, held for examination on a
charge of suspicion of homicide, growing
out of accusat ations made against him by

him in court with the murder of his 49,
year-old wife, Sadie Victor, to whom he
was secretly married on January 22, 1898.
The couple never lived together. Mrs
Victor has been missing since last Sep
tember, and Mrs. Froelich declared that
Victor said, when asked what had be-
come of her. that he had killed her and
cut her body up as Martin Thorn did
that of Gudensuppe, the bath-house at
tendant. Victor admitted in court that
he made the statement, but said he had
been joking at the time, and declared that
he knows nothing of his wife's where
abouts.
Mrs. Froelch said today that some time
in last September Victor wrote to her
sister, asking her to meet him in this
city. The girl left home to meet him and
has not been seen since then.

Agulnaldo's Agents Are Seek
ing Peace.
THE VOTE OF THE CONGRESS
On the Sixth of This Month Was In
Favor of Settling the War
With the American.

New York, May ia dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: Definite peace
propositions from the Filipino govern
lively have entire control of the situa-
ton if the rainy season does not set in
within ten days and make further mill
tary operations impossible should the
insurgents still prove intractable. The
purpose Of the Filipino leaders TO give
up the struggle against American au-
thority was made known by two dele
gates of the Filipino peace commission,
who remained in San Isidro when it was
captured and surrendered to Lawton's
advance guard.
In conversation with American officers
they state that the Filipino forces have
been for the last four days willing to Sc
cure peace on any terms that General
Otis might see fit to offer. They declare
General Lawton, by hts rapid and ener-
getic advance from Balinag, has not all
lowed their forces moments cessation
from fighting. The delegates add, as
their most important information, that
Aguinaldo himself will sue for peace
through the peace commission within two
days. If he does not so act, the Filipino
government will repudiate him, as four
ffths of the natives are weary of the war
and desire the early ending of hostili-
ties.
The Filipino congress voted on May 6
to name peace commission which as
finally made up consisted of Buencamino
del Pillar, Arguelles, Torres, Pamprenes.
Palermo and Herrera. These delegates
had intended to proceed to General Law
tons headquarters to begin negotia-
tions for a pacific settlement, but the
American attack in San Isidro caused
them to take fight to the northward. The
two who remained here and surrendered
assure the Americans that the others
will return to San Isidro tomorrow to
carry out the original design. 1t is
stated that Aguinaldo fled from the town
the day before yesterday. He is now re-
ported to be at Cabantuan, Is miles north
Of San Isidro.
