DIR. ELIOT on SECOND MARRIAGE
Tie Advised an Intimate Friend .gainst
the Venture.

BosToN, Mass, Dec. l2.-Judge Grant. in
the Probate Court to-day, compelled Presi-
dent Eliot Of Harvard to relate the details
Of conversation he had with L. H. Croker
regarding the advisabiity Of the latter's
marriage with the second Mrs Croker
President Eliot's testimony was important
in view Of the fact that he was Mr. Crocker's
most intimate friend
tn" case has been on trial for nearly two
weeks, the sons OF Mr. Croker endeavoring
To prevent the probating Of their father +
Will. which left an estate OF nearly 81 600 900
70 the widow. who had been Mr. Crocker's
-tenographer prior to the marriage and
was very much his junior.
President Flo, said that he had known
Nr. Croker stree 1874, when they began to

IN that school and all through Harvard
College together They used to walk to
school together every morning and this
intimacy continued in college and in after
life. The witness saw Mr. Croker fire.
quently at class dinners and had always seen
him frequently, socially. both before and
after Crocker's second marriage
President Eliot regarded Croker as a
clear ieaded. artive-minded man and a
difficult person to influence, except through
his affections. The witness admitted that his
friend had consulted him about his secor
marriage, but objected telling what had
been said but Judge Grant requested him
to do so. The substance Of the converse
ton. as told by President Eliot. was as
follows.
Mr.. Crocker at first came TO him for ad vice
about the marriage. The witness advised
him agains, it and Mr.. Crocker went away,
saving that he did not know what he should
do. A month or 40 afterward Mr.. Crocker
came again and told the witness he had
decided to marry.
The next time he talked with Preside mt
Eliot on this matter was about three years
later when the test ator spoke Of members
Of his family being arrayed agains him
What would you say Of his conduct
toward his wife and hers toward him."
Just what one would expect of a hus-
band and wife who loved each other
Was she respectful or deterrent ial toward
him?"
Suitably So"
The witness thought TIE testator did
-enlarge his mode Of life after his second
marriage" and the witness agreed that il
was a desirable application.

He did say, however, that II President
Castro was willing to pay enough for the

he made without violation Of the neutrality
laws, such transaction was possible.
The Arrow is already fitted with torpedo
engines, and at the time she was launched
il was said she could he transformed into

But" said Mr.. Flint, mo intimation has
reached me that President Castro wants

Speaking of the Venezuelan situation in
general. Mr. Flint said that ever since the

not had the confidence of outside merchants
and that these merchants had been 30 con-
sentative in their business recently that
they would be affected iery little by the
