Granting that all ministers and
except the German minis
ter, vonKetteler, are alive in Peking
and are given safe escort out of
that city, will the other countries
allow Germany to step in and insist
on having blood and land from Chi
ma in return for numbering it's min
ister?OThe murder of an ambassa-
dor is the. most heinous offense
known to man, but if the murder is
disallowed by the Emperor and EN-
press and by the leader of the Box
err movement, and the former apollo
gizes and admits its willingness to
make any reasonable reparation, it
seems that the Kaiser will have to
take the apology and Chinese gold
offered for the blood of it's minister,
and rest easy.

The constitutionality of the Mich
igan statute forbidding the playing
of baseball on Sunday has been up
held by the Supreme Court of that
State. A Sheriff is declared to have
been negligent in the performance of
his official duties who failed to ar
rest the participants in a Sunday
game after he had endeavored by
milder means to dissuade them from
playing. He went so far as to sue a
clergyman for libel in publishing a
letter criticising him for his conduct
in allowing the game to 60 on, and a
jury actually mulcted the minister
in damages to the extent of 81, 900;
but the supreme court held that the
alleged libel was justified and that
the facts showed that it was the
sheriff, and not the clergyman, who
was in the wrong.

If Senators Davis and Nelson have
the proper pull with the admins
tration, a pull with which they are
credited, they will land Gen. Lu-
cius F. Hubbard Of Minnesota ambas-
sador to Italy, to succeed Gen.
Draper, who is anxious to retire.
Gen. Hubbard is a war horse in Re
publican politics and the rounding
up of his career by an ambassador
ship would be appropriate, pleas
ing, and undoubtedly acceptable to
the General.

Fraud Alleged by Niece of Testatrix- Stanford Appeal Heard by Judge Thayer-Applicatton for Receiver Tor Burgess aud Co, Refused.

| The appeal of Eunice Holbrook, niece | of Marietta A. Bailey of Fair Haven, from probate, was called in the super for court before Judge Thayer yester- day morning. The testatrix died Octo- Der 21, 1897. Her will which was draft
 ed by Dr. A. E. Winchel, was executed August 12, 1897. The witnesses were Joseph H. Beale, William F. Hopson
 and Mary A. White. She left an estate
 of about $33, 900. No appeal was taken
 on the probate of the will by Judge
 Cleaveland. The legislature of 1899,
 however passed a statute, allowing an
 appeal after the time fixed by statute
 had expired if it could be shown that
 fraud existed in the making of the will.
 The application was made to the super
 for court on the strength of this statute
 by Lawyer c. B. Mathewson and John
 A. Mathewson, for a hearing on the
 bate of the will alleging fraud. It Is said in the application that the instru- nent probated was not then drafted, but there are two pieces of property pasted together. William H. Ely ap- peared for Dr. Winchel and A. Heaton Robertson and Henry G, Newton for the lesatees under the will The will was offered in evidence and identified by Clerk A. F. Wells of the probate court
 MT. B ale and MT White testified as to the circumstances of the making of the will They said pr. Winchel tore the will and pasted the pieces together. pr. Winchell took the stand in his own be- half, and testified that for q long time he had been the family physician for MT. and Mrs. Bailey. He had received some of their condolences and had drawn the will at their request. He ad- mitted tearing the will and pasting the pieces together, and said he did it to make on continuous piece. He denied | that there was a word changed or clause inserted. Lawyer John A. | began the cross examina- ton yesterday afternoon.
