PHILLIPS WILL CONTEST.


The Pcution Tor review Dismissed. and an
Amended Petition Filed.
Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal
Georgetown, Sept. s. --William F.
Causey, register of wills, sat in the
county courtroom Thursday to hear the
contest concerning the will of John
Shipley PhiHils, deceased. Robert
Pennington OF Wilmington, who sue
ceeded the late Lewis G. Vandegrift as
attorney for the petitioner, WAS present,
also former Judge Cullen and Charles
=. Richards, who represent the will.
Recognizing TINT there will be big
legal battle, the register, at the sug-
gestion of all the attorneys, engaged
Court Stenographer Il. &. Hardesty to
make q full report of the testimony to
be adduced and the legal points that
will be raised and passed upon.
The will, which was probated April
22d, 1898, lett the estate, valued at
about sl2, 900, to Wilbur L. Adams Of
Georgetown, cutting off the petitioner,
Mrs. Louisa Truitt, with nothing,
although Nm aunt Of the deceased,
while the beneficiary under the will
was in no way related to the deceased.
At the hearing Thursday, the at
tnrneys for the will asked that the
petition for review, filed by Mr..
Pennington, be dismissed, because it
gave the propounders no notice as to
the ground OF contest, the sole alle-
cation being that it was not the last
will and testament of John Shipley
Phillips. After hearing argument,
Register Causey ordered the petition
dismissed, but granted leave to Che
petitioner to amend, imposing upon
the latter the costs of the term. An
amended petition was then filed ty the
confession. alleging undue influence,
mental incapaoity and that the will
was faulty in the execution and attesta-
tion thereof.
At the next hearing, which will be
on September 18th, q large number of
witnesses will be examined.

London, Eng, Sept S..-The week
has been prolific of discussion, but,
though the main questions of inter.
national and national interest appear to
be piofiting By the general desire for
peace, which remains the strongest
factor of international politics and
appears to be approaching solution,
they have not yet reached the point OF
finality which Great Britain so earn
estly desires in order that she may at
tend TO her private concerns. Among the
latter stand out most prominently the
South African question and the general
election. By help of the desire for
peace dominating all nations. Great
Britain las been enabled to achieve
without hindrance the formal annexa-
tion of the South African Republics,
which, as a cabinet minister declared
last year, would be an 'unmitigated
misfortune. " Lord Roberts proclama-
tion, however, has not advanced matters
much. The iingos pretend that the
annexation of the Transvaal is tanta-
mount to the end Of the South African
War, but the Boer view of the question
differs, and, as matter of fact, there
are no signs that the British are mas
tiers of the country anywhere, except in
the case of strips of lands along the
railroads. However, in spite of the
disconcerting persistency of the burgh-
ers, the British government appar-
emily has determined to carry out the
scheme for an early appeal to the
country. Everything appears to be
shaping for an October election, and
the return to England of Lord Sails
bury during the coming week will prob
ably be speedily followed by a definite
pronouncement of the date of the dis
solution of Parliament as well as Brit
ish views on far eastern matters.
Among the interesting features of the
election nows is the movement on the
part of the Liberal Unionists to return
what Sir William Vernon Harcourt de-
scribed himself to be in his epeech of
September 4th, Liberal without any
ndiectives.
81 never knew so many improvident
Americans in London said United
States Vice. Consul Westcott to a
representative of The Associated Press
"At this time of the year, you are sure
to find many have overtaxed their
financial resources; but the appli.
cations for relief here outnumber anys
thing in the history of the consulate.
OF course, there are no means in our
hands to finance stranded travellers:
and If there were, they would long
since have boon expended. Guests at
the leading hotels say they cannot get
into the streets without being besieged
for financial aid by impoverished COM
patriots.
The visiting members of the Kansas
City fire brigade are entertaining
crowds at the Crystal Palace. The
smartness of the American fremen has
called forth unstinted praise from the
London newspapers.
The report of the British commercial
agent at Chicago, printed conspicuously
in the London Times, attracted atten-
tion as being further evidence of the
skill and progress of American me-
ohanics. The report extolled American
methods, the use of labor-saving ma.
chinery and the rapidity and excel
lence of their product.
