Washington. Aug. 2S.-Mrs- Edla Mcpherson Muir,
daughter OF the late United States Senator John r
Mcpherson OF New-Jersey. to-day filed 4 contest
of the will OF her mother in the Probate Court OF
this city. She alleges undue influence on the part
OF the benehciaries under the Will The action
taken by Mrs. Muir IS entirely Independent OF the
proceeding begun some time ago in the New-Jer-
sey The suit Is instituted here because
about $50 900 worth Of the $4,000 worth OF property
left by Mrs. Mcpherson consists OF Washington
property.
Mrs Muir says she believes that the action OF
the New-Jersey Surrogate Court in admitting her
mothers Will to probate ineffective. because
Mrs. Mcpherson at the time OF her death was not
a resident OF New-Jersey. She contends that her
father in his Will bequeathiEg his property 70 his
wife virtually left instructions that their children
should be provided for. the bequest to the mother
being practically in trust fer the benefit OF the
children Hence the contention that Mrs McPher-
son was without power to make such disposition OF
the property would give Mrs. Muir. the only

LIE rnrsIpExr.s INVITATION.

The action of MeLaws Camp United
dorse the movement started recently in
New Orleans to protest against the inyi-
tation to President Mckinley to attend
the reun on of the United Confederate
Veterans at Memphis, will meet with the
approval of every fair-minded ex-Con-
federate who win take time to consider
the matter.
What are the circumstances? The city
of Memphis proposes to make the COM
ing reunion an occasion notable in her
history, as much for the pleasure of the
OLD soldiers as anything e,se. She pro-
poses that they shall have literally big
time" In order TO add to the attractive
ness and dignity of the assemblage a
number of distinguished persons have
been invited to attend, among them the
President Of the United States. It was
assumed-and very reasonably and cor
rectly-that the -Confederates, as
American citizens, would be only glad
to do what they could towards welcom-
ing and honoring the chief executive of
the Great Republic; for. whatever may
be the political opinions of some of us,
and while we may not agree In all re-
spects with the policy OF the adm stra-
ton at Washington, the iucontrovertible
fact remains that this is the greatest, the
freest and the best government upon the
face of the earth, which we would not
exchange for any existing or that ever
existed.
Furthermore, it is to be borne in mind
that the present occupant of the execu-
tive chair, while he was opposed to us
during the War between the States, has
long since ceased to be our enemy. He is
now the President of the whole country.
without sectional division. He is an
amiable and kind-hearted gentleman, as
well as an able statemau, and is in every
manner worthy of the respect that is pro-
posed to be shown him at Memphis. Some
of his political appointments in the
South have been unpopular, but even
that does not change the facts stated.
The sentiment that President Mckinley
entertains towards the old soldiers of the
South has been illustrated on several oc-
casions, and very strikingly in the APP
pointment of Gems. Joseph Wheeler and
Fitzhugh Lee to high commands in the
United States army. That they had been
Confederate soldiers did not bother him
in the least. He knew them to be able
American soldiers, and that was enough
for HIM. Shall we not meet him upon an
equally high plane?
Confederate veterans need not have
any fear of quest on respecting their
loyalty to the memories of their heroes
and their cause by reason of any courte-
sizes which they may extend to the
President of the United States. The ac-
ton of McLaws Camp respecting his in
yitation to Memphis is not out of p ace /;
and the camp deserves the thanks of
Confederate veterans for refusing to be
party to a movement to put them. or
at least a large part of them, in a wrong
