The other was when the British gun

RICE's SECOND WILL.
Patrick Not a Beneficiary Under the
Inxtrument'x Proyisions,

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The news in the
Rice case today was furnished by Captain
McClusky, who stated that under the sec
ond will of Rice, which is in Lawyer Pat
rick's custody, Patrick would not benefit
at all il the provisions OF the will are
carried out. Patrick is made the residuary
legatee. but as trustee to carry out GER
tain alleged plans of Rice to found an in
stitute here on the lines OF Cooper Insti-
tute.
The Rice Institute of Houston, Tex, it
has been claimed by Patrick, does not ex
list except on paper, and Captain McClusky
admitted this. The police still hold that
Patrick inserted the charity clause as a
plausible reason for his being made the
residuary legatee, but there is nothing to
show that the will was not a genuine ex-
preston of Rices wishes. II has been
asserted by Patrick's lawyer that it was
Rice's wish that New York should benefit
by his money rather than Texas. Rice's
valet. Jones. is not mentioned in the sec
ond will.

are inclined to discredit the report that
Secretary Hay is to retire from the Cabi-
net. Secretary Hay himself declines to
discuss the matter, stating only that he
is tired denying silly tales. His col
leagues laugh the story down and hold
that while Mr.. Hay may retire from the
Cabinet in the event of Mr.. McKinley's
reelection, il will be to enter private
life and not to go to England as Am
bassador.
In the event Mr.. Hay retires it is be-

THE RETURNS COMING IN SLOWLY.
The Board Of Canvassers Meet to Canvass Re-
turns and Declare Result.

One thousand three hundred and
sixty-eight is the majority that the
amendment will get in Wake county.
This is not official but it is as near
as can be reached now. There are
a number of precincts that have not
been heard from yet, but it is not
thought that the result will be chang
ed much by their returns.
In Raleigh township the amend
ment got majority of exactly S52
votes. 1t has frequently happened
that the Democratic majority in this
township has been cut down by an
adverse vote in the country precincts,
but the city majority Will be increas-
ed by 500 majority from the country
precincts.
Among the returns that came in
yesterday were those from Swift
Creek, where majority of 60 against
the amendment was cast. However,
this vote will be contested, and there
is probability that the vote may be
thrown out. At this place, as is also
the case in most of the country pre-
cincts the amendment did not poll
quite so large vote as the State and
county tickets. 1t is thought that
Governor Aycock's pledge for good
schools caused him to run better than
in many instances, the county ticket.
Adams carried Marks Creek town
ship by 63 votes, while the amend
ment was defeated by 60 majority.
There was much scratching of the
county ticket here, but the Republic
can candidates carried the precinct
by from So to 65 majority.
Little River township gave Aycock
81 majority, and about the same to
the rest of the county and State tick
cts. The amendment was carried by
80 majority.
Roiesville precinct gave a vote of
143 for the amendment and 149 against
the amendment. The Democratic

majority.
The vote Of St. Matthew's township
shows: For the amendment, 1874;
against 176. For Aycock, 165; Adams,
201. For Senator, Broughton, 16S;
Norris, 1885, For House of Representa-
tives-Democrats, 16S; Fusionists, 1875.

In Middle Creek township a Demo
cratic loss of SO votes was experienced.
However, the exact result will be
made known today. At - o'clock eX-
actly the Board of County Canvassers
will meet at the court house, and or
ganize, and proceed in the work OF
| canvassing the returns, at which time
the exact vote will be known.
