NAVAL OFFICERS AT ODDS.
Friction Between Rear Ahmirals
O'NeiI and CrowninshieId.

A rumor at the Navy Department is to
the effect that friction exists between
Rear Admiral O'Nen. Chief of the Bureau
OF Ordnance ard Rear Admiral Crownin-
shield, Chief of the Bureau Of Navigation.
It arises. it is said. from partially on the
part of the latter in choosing for promotion
employees from his own bureau rather than
those from other bureaus.
The detachment Of Lieutenant Com
mander Mclean from the Ordnance Bureau
and assignment to duty on the militia
training-ship Prairie is said to be the i'm
mediate cause of the controversy. Lieu
tenant Commander Gilmore was originally
selected for this post but his orders were
revoked and the second appointment made
without consulting the head of the Ord
nance Bureau.

The probalinR Of the big estate OF the
late John Mcclellan Of Sioux Falls has
taken a very sudden and surprising turn
It will be remembered that a short time
ago after all the testimony Of the con-
testing claimants had been taken and
considered by Judge Wilkes, he decided
that the Irish nieces we're the legal heirs
and appointed Vim. Van Fps of Sioux
Falls as administrator. These Irish
claimants we're the ones Paul Wilkes
had ferreted out in his trip to Ireland ae
oommlssioner Of his fathers court, and il
is alleged secured the attorneyship FOX
them although he did not show up he
sucn III tne hearing, but has been smok
cd out since. Also the appointment Of
Nr. Ven Ep- AS administrator who is
largely Indebted to the estate, is Il mat.
ter or susplcloE, aud 1t is o alleged
that there has been collision between
the court AMI these parties which dis
qualified Judge Wilkes from sitting IN
the case. On the strength of these ap-
parent facts alleged lii an affidavit OF ne
Canada claimants, brother and sister of
the late Mcclellan, en order has been
applied for from Judge Jones Of the cir
cut court, rohlbitlng Judge Wilkes or
Or Administrator Van Fps from making
any orders or performing any actions
with reference to settling the estate.
The probate court has sought to get the
estate ont OF the hands Of the special adj
mlristrator, n. j. Tabor, appointed
shortly after Mr.. McClellan's death, with
q view to turning the administration OF
The property over to Van Fps, and this
application made to Judge Jones is to
prevent this and also to hear the whole
matter Of the claimants in circuit court
and there settle the descent of tie
estate. Tabor has baked the process OF
the probate court TO turn the property
over 10 Van Fps by being hsndily absent
in another state, and it appears more
than likely that the whole matter will
be taken away from the probate court at
the hearing which was to come before
Judge Jones yesterday at Canton.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Feb. L.. Before
Judge Cantrill at Georgetown the Dem

All injunction to restrain Governor Tay-

a temporary injunction will be granted.
In case the Republican executive disre.
CARDS the action Of the court as was
done in the case, Alonzo Walker habeaS

interference with the legislature, the
Democrats will not press the proceed
ings for contempt, but will take the
case to the court of appeals, which, ac-
cording to their contention, is the court
Of last resort in these proceedings.
This plan vas decided upon at a CON
ference Of Democratic leaders including
Governor Beckham, Congressman d.
H. Smith, Ex-Governor McCreary and
Judge w. S. Pryor, and several other
lawyers.
Pending the result Of this suit and the
case before Judge Taft at Cincinnati.

expected both sides will allow things to

legislature will remain in Louisville and
it is believed the court Of appeals will

about the state buildings at the capital.
