POTTER PALMER's WILL.
Widow of the Dead Millionaire to Man
aue the Estate.

| Chicago, May 14.-By the terms OF
the will of the late Potter Palmer, filed
in the Cook county probate court late
yesterday afternoon, his widow, MIS-
Bertha Honore Palmer succeeds him
| as head of an estate conserVatlNeiy es-
timated at sS,O00.000. The property goes
| jointly to Mrs. Palmer and their sons,
Honore and Potter Jr., but Mrs. Palm
er is given almost unlimited control OF
| the ultimate disposition of it all.
1t is explained that the testator made
this arrangement on account OIL the
great confidence he had in Mrs. Palm
er's ability and judgment, and not thru
any lack of faith in their sons. He
makes it clear that he wishes her to
carry out the plans they had made to-
gether.
There are no requests for public pur-
poses or charity. save provision by
which Mrs. Palmer is authorized to eX-
pend 100000 for womans memorial
building, If site shall be given by the
city on the Lake Front Park.
Mrs. Palmer and her brother, Adrian
c. Honore, are made trustees of the es-
tate and are given wide powers in han
ding 1t. Whatever money shall ulti-
mately go to charity or for public pur-
poses rests entirely with Mrs. Pallner.
She is to get one half of the property
and the two sons will share the other
half equally. The date of the Will, as
originally made, is Jan. Is. 1894. Three
codicils were added, none changing the
general character of the Will.
While the estimate handed in to the
probate court along with the will places
the total value of the estate at $4,000
000 it is expected tina the actual value
will prove to be considerably greater
than this figure.
The trustees are directed, after pay
ing all expenses necessary to the main
Etenance of the estate, to pay an annuity
of $500 to each of the brothers ana
sisters of Mr.. Palmer. and an annuity OF
Isl. 200 to N. K. Honore, of Chicago.

Representative Foss Points Out
the Danger of Overconfi.
dence in Navy.
The Victories Over Spain Moth.
ing More Than What Might
Have Been Expected.
Fight With Strong Nation Would
Be Much Different. Three
Important Bills.

Washington, May 1.-THE danger
of overcontidence in the navy by peo-
pie of the United States was pointed
out by Mr.. Foss of Illinois, in placing
the naval appropriation bill before
the house.
The bill, which provides for two new
battleships, two armored cruisers, and
two gunboats, carries a total of ST.,
$4,000.
Representative Foss, who is chair
man of the naval committee, declared
that the victories at Manila and San
tiago were due to the fact that the
United States was contending with an
effete and decaying nation, and that
the American strength far out matched
Spain in those contests.
Mr.. Foss said that while we hav,
1873 ships built and building, yet COM
paratively few of them have any real
lighting value. Most of those now
building are what are termed peace
boats. Continuing, Mr.. Foss said:
think that just because we whipped
Spain in fight that we could wipe
out the fleets of the navies of the
world. There is an impression that
the American navy is strong and pow
erful. Yes, it is, so far as it goes.
believe we have better officers, better
men, and that our ships ship for ship
are better than those of any navy in
the world.
But do not let us delude ourselves
with the thought that because we
whipped little nation, which had only
little navy, that therefore we can

posed plan of building one ship in

hculties to be encountered in additional
cost of government construction.

THREE IMPORTANT BILLS.
Senate Will Dispose of Big Questions
in Next Three Weeks.

Washington, May 14.-Within the
next three weeks the senate will do a
big business. 1t will dispose of the bill,
providing for civil government for the
Philippine islands, the Nicaraguan ca :
nal bill and the Cuban reciprocity
measure. 1t is expected the Philippine
bill will be passed by the senate within
the next week or ten days.
This will be followed by the N.cara-
guam canal bill, which will be under
consideration about a week Then the
senate will turn its attention to + he
Cuban reciprocity bill, which will prob
ably be sent back to the house shorn of
the feature which repeats the differen-
tial on refined sugar. 1t will provide
for reduction of 25 per cent in the
Dingley tariff rates on Cuban sugar and
tobacco in exchange for a similar re-
duction on American goods sent into
Cuba. The reciprocity agreement will
go into effect after Cuba has agreed to

Special to Times-Republican.
Boston, May 14.-With the launching
of the cruiser Des Moines in view, work
was begun Monday on the concrete
dock along the new fitting-out wharf
at the Fore River shipyard at Quincy
Point, Boston harbor. The dock will
be the foundation upon which the big
gantry crane that will do the heavy
work on the warship will travel. The
crane has arrived at Fore River and as
soon as a sufficient length of concrete
has been finished it will be set UP and
put into immediate operation.
The facilities of the Fore River yard,
which are being constantly extended,
have as their latest addition nearly 100
new pneumatic tools such as are to be
used in putting the finishing touches on
the Des Moines. This makes the num-

VILLAGERS Would Keep Soldiers.

Manila, May 14.-Within the last few
days petitions against the removal oi
American troops have been received
from sixteen towns and villages. The
reason for these petitions is said to be
fear of bandits after the troops have
left.
It is believed in some quarters that
the petitioners are more probably influ-
enced by desire to retain the trade OF
the American soldiers In the places in
question than by fear of robber depre-
dations.
There have been $50 cases of cholera
with 100 deaths, in Manila. The prov
inces report 2,ssS cases and 2,092 deaths
from the disease.
A man named Ricafort, convicted OF
murder, was executed yesterday at
Iingayen, capital of the province OF
Pangasinan, LuZon. Ricafort was the
first murderer to be garroted since
American authority has been estab-
lished in the Philippine islands. The
officials who witnessed this execution
think the system employed insures a
quick and humane death, but that such
an execution is revolving to see.

innutrition annually? Why should not the story of such as these make appeal to human sympathy and stir men to organized effort for their relief.
 RELIEF IS READY.
 More and more with every month of every year women are learning that a call for help in their weakness and sick ness will be promptly answered by Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N Y. Of the average of five thousand letters re- ceived by Dr. Pierce each week in the year 8 large number are from weak and sick women who ask for relief from pain, rescue from the loneliness and desola- ton of a life which disease has robbed of all its brightness. Every such letter is regarded as a cry for help, and the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y., of which Dr. Pierce is chief consulting physician and surgeon, is organized for the rescue of just such weak and sick women. With his staff Of nearly score of physicians, each man specialist, Dr. Fierce responds to the appeal of suffering women as promptly as the crew of hfe-boat respond to the appeal of distressed mariners.

BROWNING OF QUEEN Third Day of the Carnival Marks an Increase in the At-
 tendance.
The Cold Wave Does Not Chill the
 Ardcr of Spectators.

The temperature fell to several de- grees below standard carnival weather last evening, but in spite of this fact the high dive took place on schedule time, and the various tented shows were not only open for business but were we'll patronized.
 The weather was so frigid that it was enough to give any ordinary management "cold feet" but Direc- tor General Wilsey is not that sort of a manager, and his enthusiasm never even waned at the dry blizzard.
 Today was floral day, the day on which the Queen was crowned. The Queen selected for the carnival is Miss Mabel Hall and her maids of honor were Miss Norma Fernwalt, Miss Mabel Hooker, Miss Elaine Wetmore and Miss Nina Greenwood
 The order of the parade was: Grand marshal, band, queen of the carnival and her maids, Eagles, Eagles fioat,and citizens.
 The coronation took place on the north side of the plaza, the street and sidewalk being crowded during the ceremony.
 The grand parade of the week will take place tomorrow, which is desig mated as Labor and Fraternal Day, the order of the procession being as follows: Grand marshal, band, four marshals, queen of the carnival, Eagles, Eagles float, trades unions, firenen, citizens in carriages, on horseback and on foot.
 The programme for the day is as follows: 10 a.m., double handed drilling contest; II a.m., Labor and Fraternal parade; g pm, carnival ball at Odd Fellows hall.
 Rose and Lamon will give thelr free exhibition afternoon and even ing in their ride down a 60-foot pair of stairs, and the high dive will also be an attraction of the day as usual.
