able Subject of LITIGATION

The issuance of the order by Justice Bar
nard, in Probate Court yesterday afternoon,
requiring Attorneys A. S. Worthington
Charles c. Cole and Henry F. Woodland to
produce and file the will of the late Col
Nathanlel Mckay, it is believed, will lead
10 hnal settlement of the estate. Deyel-
opments of the past week have strongly in
dicated that such would be the case Last
Monday the Dewey Hotel Company entered
suit in the Supreme Court against the
widow and two daughters of Col Mckay
and one other party, asking that it's claim
against the hotel property be declared a
lien on the premises. which are claimed to
be owned by the estate. The hotel COM
pany was represented in this proceeding by
Attorneys Cole, Woodland and A A Birney
and the petition for the order to show
cause, filed in Probate Court yesterday,
was presented through A. A. Birney, as at
torney for Joseph NJ. Stoddard
Mr.. Stoddard in his petition states that
he is creditor of the estate of Col. Nc
Kay in the sum of $500. represented by
two promissory notes. He says further
that Col Mckay left a will, in which he
named Mabel Grace Mckay, Philip HIGH
born and Henry +. Woodland as executors
of the estate, and that soon after the death
of Col. Mckay this will was given over to
the joint custody of A. S. Worthington,
Charles c. Cole and Henry F. Woodland to
be held by them until they should jointly
agree to a further disposition thereof or
until its probation should be ordered by
court of competent jurisdiction.
The rule issued by Justice Barnard yes
terday requires the custodians of the will
to make answer tomorrow, and it is ex-
pected that there will be further develop
ments within a short time.
Those In a position to know state that in
all probability there will be a contest over
the estate before it is finally settled 1t is
said that at first 1t was thought the matter
could be settled without suit and that a
compromise could be effected between the
parties concerned, but the present indica-
lions, it is said, are unfavorable to an ad-
justment of the differences out of court.

LONDoNERS DISLIKE HIS STREET
RAILROAD SCHEMES.
Hot Discussion in Parliament Over
Franchises for Railway Tubes
in the City.

LONDON, October 30.-The Globe this
afternoon commenting on the tube" rail-
road debate in the house Of commons yes
terday says:
Last nights proceedings were a melan-
choly foretaste of what we are to expect
under the rule of American capitalism.
The real sting consists In the fact that
American syndicates should have been al
lowed to fight over the body of the London
citizen
The paper attributes the present condition
of affairs to apathy of the British in
weston, but declares 1t Is better to muddle
on. overcrowded and badly served as we
are, than to place our means of locomotion
in the hands of transatlantic railway job
bers"
In conclusion. the Globe urges the gov
eminent to control the tubes"
The other afternoon newspapers COM
ment on the situation In similar tone.
The St. James Gazette quotes J. P. Nor
gan, jr., as complaining Of the attitude Of
the English press toward the proposals
brought forward by his firm. IT do not
know" he said whether to attribute 1t to
national jealousy or what, but it asserts
itself on every possible occasion. am not
now complaining of criticism
You are used to that on the other side,
are you not?" asked the reporter.
Yes replied Mr.. Morgan, but the df-
ference is that whereas the American
papers speak plainly and tell what they
mean the English papers get at us by in
nuendoes, which are difficult to deny. If
your press and people in criticising would
look at the proposals from the commercial
side, which is what we most care about,
you might understand aus better"
A dispatch from London last night says:
The battle of the tubes reached a crucial
stage tonight when the house of commons

1t Is reported from Norfolk that the re-
turn Of First Vice President and General
Manager James NJ. Barr of the Seaboard
Air Line railway will be closely followed
by TIE announcement of a successor TO Mr.
Peasants, who recently resigned the traffic
management of the system to become vice
president of the Ocean Steamship Company
No announcement was today made at Mr.
Bars office regarding the appointment
however, and although there are many ru-
mors in circulation to the identity of
the new traffic manager none of them Is
authentic.
The road has been without traffic man
ager since the 18th of September, when
Mr.. peasants left for New York. The work
of the office has devolved in divided form
upon the heads of the freight and passen-
ger departments, who are now reporting
direct to the general manager.
1t was ruulored a result of this that
there would be no successor appointed to
take Mr.. Peasants place, but at the office
OF the general manager it is stated that
there is no intention of abolishing the posi-
ton Of traffic manager. The system is en-
tirely too large for that now, 1t Is stated.
