Witnesses Testify That Signatures
TO 1000 VIII Are FOrgeries.
New York. April 17.-Hearing in the
William NJ. Rice will contest was con-
tinued to-day before Surrogate Fitz-
gerald. Walter o. Wetherbee, who
testified yesterday that in his opinion
the signatures to the 1900 will were
forged, was cross-examined. He said
he had expressed doubts as to the
genuineness of the win before ne saw
it. His reason for this doubt was that
a Texas lawyer offered the will
for probate, and he recalled that
the valet, Jones, had spoken of a
Texas lawyer in connection with new
Rice will. Wetherbee said he heard
ex-Judge Hornblower and Capt. Baker
state their opinion that the 1900 will
was a forgery before that document
was shown to him.
John H. Wallace, a clerk at the
Swenson's bank, was called. He iden-
titled a number of signatures of Mr..
Rice and testified that in his opinion
each one of the signatures to that doc
ument were forgeries.

Anti-Chinese Legislators Afraid to
Risk Further Delay.
Washington, April 1.-THE members
of the House who have been chiefly
interested in advancing the Chinese
exclusion bill, after informal confer
ences to-day. decided to accept the
Senate substitute adopted yesterday,
continuing in force the present laws
and applying them to our insular pos
sessions.
Representative Kahn of California,
who introduced the drastic exclusion
bill in the House, and Representative
Crooms of California, who aided in
perfecting it, both expressed the view
that the Senate measure should be
accepted as the best obtainable within
the few days remaining before the
Geary law expires by limitation. This
view was made known to Representa-
tive Perkins of New York, who report
ed the House exclusion bill from the
Foreign Affairs Committee, and an in
formal understanding was reached that
If the California members were willing
to accept the Senate substitute, this
course would undoubtedly be taken
by the committee and the House.

SENATOR MORGAN ON CANAL.

.o-ity of Nicaragua Route.

sleeping subject Revived by the
.1abama Senator-Hc Urges super
,ority of Nicaragua Route.
washington, April 17.-For more
.,an four hours to-day Mr.. Morgan
- Alabama, chairman of the Isthmian
canal Committee. addressed the Sen
ote on the subject of the Nicaragua
anal. He devoted the greater part
~ his speech to a consideration of the
desirability and practicability of the
two principal routes-Nicaragua and
panama. He strenuously favored the
former. maintaining that in every pos
sible respect it had many advantages
over the Panama route.
Mr.. Morgan said in part:
1.-THE subject presents itself to my
mind with conclusive force in the six
propositions I win now state:
First. We have reached the point
where investigation is complete by
observation, experience, scientific re-
cearch and forecast.
Second The question now to be
decided is the choice of either of two
routes for a canal; whether it shall be
located at Panama or through the val
lev of the San Juan river, in Nicara-
qua and Costa RIGA.
Third. The controlling factor in
making this selection is the assurance
of success in constructing a canal
that will be permanently useful for
commerce.
Fourth. A sum of money necessary
for expenditure in the work of con-
structing such a canal, to accomplish
such ends, cannot be reasonably COM
pared with the real value of the results
TO the people of the United States and
the choice of either routes should not
he controlled or affected by a difference
in the present cost of construction,
will say within limit of even SOC, 000,-
000
Fifth The assured certainty of
success in the construction of a per-
manent canal is, of necessity, the basis
or foundation fact upon which Con-
gress must act in the selection OF the
canal route. Considered as a simple
proposition of civil engineering, there
is no doubt-not even a shadow of
doubt-as to any fact touching the
praeticability of a ship canal from
Greytown to Brito, in and along the
aragua 1t is certain, beyond a rea-
sonable doubt, that it's cost is as nearly
within the limit of exact estimates as
any great public work that was ever
undertaken.
II BohfO Dam should Fail.
sixth. If the dam at Bohio, on
the Panama route, should fail for any
cause the only hope of a canal across
that isthmus would perish, never to
he restored All engineers admit this
fact. The failure of dam at Con-
chuda or Boca San Carlos, or at Ochoa,
or at Tamporgrunde, or at any other
site on the San Juan river would only
mean the loss of that structure to be
replaced on better location if lake
level canal is preferred"
Mr. Morgan maintained that the
Isthmian Canal Commission had no
authority to accept an offer of the Pan
anna Canal Company, and that the sole
duty of the president was to determine
the route he would recommend to Con-
gress. 1t rested entirely with Con-
gress whether or not it should accept
the "glittering temptation" in the way
of bargain offered by the Panama
Company.

WOULD LIKE COL. BUCKS JOB.
III. Clay Evans Said to De Casting
Sleeps Eyes Towards Japan

Washington, April 17.-There is a re-
vival of the talk about relieving Col.
Buck of Georgia from the japanese
mission in connection with the wild
and unofficial gossip and speculation
now going on over cabinet and diplo-
matte changes. The Japanese mission
is one of the most desirable appoint
ments in the gift of the President.
Ever since the retirement of H. Clay
Evans from the pension Office was sug-
gested he has been casting anxious
eyes in the direction of Japan. A year
ago, two members of his family visited
Japan and were so much pleased with
their visit that if the President con-
suited the wishes of the Evans family
alone he would probably transfer Col.
Buck to some other official sphere of
usefulness to make way for the present
commissioner of pensions.
At the White House and State De-
partment it is said there is no foun-
dation for speculation again INDUCED
in relative to the retirement of Col.
Buck. The President has no intention
of making a change unless some very
good reason for so doing should arise.

WINTER WHEAT PROSPECT.
Outlook Is for Yield Above the
Average.

New York, April 17--According to
dispatches to r. G. Dun & Co, the out
look is encouraging for large yield of
winter wheat At most points the ac-
reage is equal to or larger than last
years and even in the few reports of
a decreased area the loss is only put at
10 per cent, while the most hopeful
statement makes the increase so per
cent. The least satisfactory feat
ure thus far Is the lack of
moisture, which is causing anxiety in
a number Of states. With average
weather during the rest of the season,
however, there is every reason to an
ticipate a yield above the average and
probably fully equal to last years large
