fault that English Sir Claude Macdonald. missionaries were tortured and Eng fish property destroyed by the Box CTS in China.
 Sir Claude Macdonald is a product of the British army, and his rise to prominence has been both rapid and well deserved. He entered the army as a subaltern in 1872. and saw his first active service ten years later in England's ill-fated Egyptian expedi- tion. In the army he rose to the rank of major, serving in the eastern Soudan campaign, where he was wounded at the battle of Tamai.
 After representing the British gov ernment at Zanzibar for a time he was sent to the West Coast of Africa in 1888 as the imperial commissioner, and it was here that he displayed to best advantage his great ability as an organizer and diplomat. He found the territory to which he had been as signed in the erudest possible state England claimed possession, but the native blacks ruled the land wherever the guns of English warships could not reach. 'r
 Practically unsupported by the strong arm of the English soldiery, it took master hand at diplomacy to bring order out of the existing chaos, but by 1895 the thing had been ac- complished. When in that year he turned his post over to a successor, it was with feeling of a task we'll done. Competent native police pre- served order throughout the terri- tory; we'll regulated customs houses provided a source of income, and Eng land ruled in word as wei as name.

Whlch the Will provides for her. In some ways the suit is peculiar. It is brought to establish the legal res idence of the deceased i'll New York, instead of Connecticut, where his will was filed. He had homes in both places, but spent the greater part of his time in New York, and should the widow be successful in securing decision to the effect that New York was his legal residence it would give her one-third of the immense estate he left, or nearly S7,000,00O. the laws of the two states differing in this re- spect. If the widow is unsuccessful in her suit, and the will remains un- broken, practically the entire estate will go to a grandson of the de- ceased, Henry Bradley Plant, now but a child of five years.
 Henry Bradley Plant, Sr., made his fortune in the railroad, steamboat and express business in the south. He was born in 1919, and IS years later began work for the New Haven Steamboat company. From that he worked into the exprses business and went south in the employ of the Adams company with his headquar- ters at Augusta, Ga. Just at the be- ginning of the war he organized the Southern Express company, and later built the Plant system of rail- road and steamboat lines. The in- come from his estate is now estimated at $67s,00O year, and should the will be upheld it will make of the grandson a 100 times millionaire by the time he is of age.

HOUSE INDIGNANT.

Army Appointments Confirmed.

Tax Reduction Bill StumDllnS blOch-
 Army Appointments Confirmed.
 Washington, Feb 14.-It is an nounced that Senator Aldrich will re turn sooner than was expected from New York and may be on hand to- morrow. In that event the conferees on the war tax reduction bill will get together promptly. The fight between the senate and house is subject of paramount interest, absorbing the at tention of members, practically, to the exclusion of all other questions.
 The opposition to the beer trust bar gain has been famed into a flame of indignation by the efforts of the anti beer republicans to arouse further hos tility to the senate bill. The more the provisions of the senate are un- derstood and talked about the more obnoxious they seem to the rank and file of republicans. It is evident that a great storm of disapproval is brew ing on the republican side of the house which will break if the house confer ees dare to bring in q report suggest ing material surrender to the senate. Messrs Payne and Dalzell are visited constantly by wrathful colleagues, who apprise theR. of the feeling exist ing on the house Side and suggest the wish. of the house that the confereeS should stand firmly. sr ... While many republicans will be dis appointed if the war revenue reduc- tion legislation fails altogether. the feeling is undoubtedly overwhelming that such failure is preferable to the senate bill.
 ''Too much reduction is given to beer by the senate bili,' said MT Moody to- day. '"rhere are men in the house who think that other interests demand attention and are worthy Of relief from the war taxation, but are debarred by the extent of favoritism to this interest which the senate has chosen to adopt as the principal bene- ticiary of the bill. .-
 While 1 would be Ioath to see the bill fail, and while 1 deprecate the holding of such q surplus in tile treas ury as inimical to the public policy, 1 am inclined to think I would be rec onciled to failure if that is the only recourse as against the senate bill.''
 Washington, Feb 13.-The senate held two executive sessions yesterday, with the result that all the presiden- tial nominations to the office of brig ad1er- general were confirmed. The nominations which caused discussion were those of Generals Bates. Wood, Grant and Bell Senator Pettigrew criticised General Bates's nomination because that officer had negotiated the
