property After Making Wills.
San Francisco Aug 16.-The provis-
ions of the wills Of Mr. and Mrs Charles
Fair, now in the possession of the at
ttorneys, have not yet been made pub
lie and there is much speculation as
to their contents 1t has not yet been
ascertained whether the Fairs ac-
quired community or separate prop
erty after the making of these wills.
This property will legally be included
in the disposition authorized by the
wills and the legatees so named will
receive their share if the courts author
ize distribution in accordance with
the provisions of the wills. The ques-
ton of priority of death is exciting
much comment, but Attorney Heg-
gerty, who with Herman Oelrichs is
conducting the necessary litigation
preliminary to the probation of the
wills, declares that if Mrs Fair sur
viyed her husband this circumstance
can have no effect upon the final dispo-
s1tion Of the property except to give
her relatives all that she bequeathed
to them. If her husband survived,
his estate will be distributed equally
to his sisters, Mrs OelEichs and Mrs
w. K. Vanderbilt. with whatever ad.
ditional property Mrs Fair may have
willed to her husband
The bodies of Mr. and Mrs Fair will
be placed in the Fair mausoleum at
Laurel Hill, beside the body of the
late Senator James G. Fair.

eating the total amount of her indiyid-
ual fortune, yariously estimated to be
worth from $250,000 to 100000.

the will of Charles l.. Fair. drawn

LIST OF ALL DEATHS.
President Roosevelt Orders Change in
Method Now in Vogue.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug 16.-The pres
ident yesterday gave orders that here
after the names Of the enlisted men of
the army who die in the Philippines
be cabled to this country once in every
two weeks. When the volunteer army
was in the archipelago it was the GUS
tom to cable the casualties, but on the
withdrawal Of that army the practice
was discontinued.
While it, costs on anNaverage of $1.5O
to cable news to this country of the
death of an officer in the Philippines.
it costs about $50 for each enlisted
man. This difference is due to the fact
that the war department has code
numbers for all it's officers. while the
names of the enlisted men together
with their company, regiment, etc,
must be sent in full.

CECIL RHODES MILL
Benefits from It Are Not Avail
able Yet.

Many Intricate Details Confront the
Executors-London is Becoming De-
populated, Now That Coronations is
Over-The Exodus Has Been Contin-
uous for Week.
London, Aug 16.-It is likely to be
| 1904 before any of the scholars who
receive appointments under the terms
of the will of the late Cecil Rhodes
will arrive at Oxford university. The
executors of the will find SO many in
tricate details to be arranged that
there is little hope of getting the Curl
GUS system working earlier.
George Robert Parkin, principal of
| Upper Canada college, Toronto, who
has been appointed by the executors
to prepare a plan for the allotment of
the scholarships provided for in the
will, and who left London August II
on the White Star steamer Oceanic
for New York, will make a tour of the
British colonies to ascertain the views
of the local authorities and report
thereon. The executors will then
draw up regulations governing the eli
gibility of candidates for scholarships
and with regard to other matters in
volved in the bequest.
So many complicated questions have
been submitted for decision to the ex-
ecutors by governors and colonial pre-
miers that they feel it would be unwise
to expedite matters without a thorough
knowledge of the opinions of all the
various shades of thought and nation
ality embraced in Mr. Rhodes scheme.
London, Aug 16.-Since coronation
day the exodus from London has been
continuous and the population of the
city is now probably at the lowest wa
ter mark for the whole year. The ac-
#tivity of the capital may be said to
have been temporarily transferred to
the Solent, where the last flicker of
festivity was witnessed at the naval
review The royal guests have near
ly all departed and the American mi
grafton is only limited to the carry
ing capacity of the Atlantic liners. Six
steamers which sailed this week were
heavily loaded with departing tourists.
A general wall is going up from the
hotels and boarding houses, which
have not profted to the extent expect
ed by the coming of coronation yisl-
tors.
In the meanwhile King Edward is
holding floating court on board the
royal yacht Victoria and Albert at
Cowes, where a number OF 4distin-.
gllished persons daily visit his nnaJes-
ty. Two big receptions have been
planned to take place on board the
yacht next week in honor of the Shah
of Persia and Ras Makonnen, the
Abyssinian general. The former ar
rives in London Monday. He has
been waiting forty-eight hours at Cal.
ais, France, for the most favorable
weather in order to make a dash
across the channel, being an inordin-
ately bad sailor, like most orientals.
In fact he is said to be in abject dread
of even a visit to the kings yacht, an
chored in the smooth water of the har-
Dor Of Cowes. and the officials in
charge of the shah's four are actually
afraid that a catspaw breeze Tuesday
may wreck what is intended to be an
imposing reception on the royal yacht.

Ten Million Dollar Fire

Paterson, n. J., Feb. "a great fire
swept through Paterson today and in
its desolate wake are the embers aud
ashes OF property valued at 100000
600. 1t burned its way through the
business section of the city and claimed
AZ its own a majority OF the finer struc
lures devoted To commercial, civic, edu-
catlOndI and religious use az well az
scores OF houses. There was only small
tribute OF life and injury to the confla-
grafton, but hundreds were left homeless
and thousands without employment. A
relief movement for the care OF those
unshelterPd and unprOvdrd for has al
ready been organized and Mayor Hinch
cliffe said tonight that Paterson would
be able 10 care for her own without ap-
pealing to the charity Of other com
munities and states. The great manu-
featuring plants of the place are safe,
and the community, only temporarily
dazed by the calamity, has already com
meBced the work of reorganization and
restoration. Scores of persons we're
hurt and burned, though but one fatal
lty is reported
