Oscars Samoan Decision.

The full text OF the decision OF King
Oscar. acting as arbitrator of the tri-
angular case OF the United States, Great
Britain and Germany, growing out OF
the acts of sailors in Samoa during the
Mataafa rebellion, has reached Wash
ington. -,
As indicated in the cable advices, the
decision is adverse to the contention
of the United States and Great Britain

repress the rebels, and the statement
OF the reasons which influenced the ar
bitrator in his decision has not made
It any more acceptable'.

To CONTEST The Will
HARRY STRATTON NOT SATISFIED
WITH REQUEST OF $4,000.
Wants Millions Left by His Father to
Build n Home for Sick People at
Colorado Springs.

DENVER, Col, Sept. 4.-Harry STRAIT
ton. of Pasadena. Cal, after a conference
to-day in this city between his attorneys.
Judge 7. A. Gunnell. of Colorado Springs.
and wolcott & Vale. decided to contest
the will OF his father. Winfield s.
Stratton. which left the bulk Of
his estate, estimated to be worth from
100000 to s12,OOO,OOO for the establish
ment of home for poor sick people at
Colorado Springs. Under the provisions of
the will young Stratton forfeits the $4,000
which his father bequeathed him by max
ing a contest.
When the application for probate is made
at Colorado Springs on Oct. the contest
will be instituted. 1t is understood that,
aside from the allegations that the will is
void on the ground of public policy and its
visionary provisions it will also be
averred that w. s. Stratton was mentally
is said that " %oIcatt 0 vale viii receive
sl.oO,OOO as their fee If they succeed in
breaking the will.
Judge A. 7. Gunnell, young Mr.. Strait
toms attorney. made the following state
ment for publication to-day: 1--WE have
practically decided to make the contest.
But Mr. Stratton will not seek to distrub
any beQuest except that providing for the
Nyron Stratton Home. He will make to-
contest at the risk of losing the $50 00O
to which he is entitled under the will. No
one has assured him that If he makes the
contest he will not lose the money. Mr..
Stratton feels hurt by the provision in the
will which gives all his fathers diamonds
books and various other personal effects
to a nephew. He interprets that as a re-
f1ection upon him. That portion of the
will grieved young Mr.. Stratton very much,
and We think that it shows conclusively
that there was disinclination on the part
of the late Mr.. Stratton to do Justice to
his own flesh and blood"

scuffles, and then came fitsticuffs. No one
was seriously injured. but the caucus went
to pieces in perfect pandemonium.

Melbert B. Carey. This did not fit we'll with
the men of the county claiming Charles

Some one speaking for Carey, shouted:
He is a world beater."
In an instant an elderly delegate from
the other camp grabbed the speaker by
the throat. The latters cravat came off,
Others interferred and the two combatants
seemed to think they were being attacked.
The fight continued until the delegation
became pretty we'll scattered Then came
a lull, but it was only temporary. Fist
fights soon followed. One delegate forgot
he was on the stage and in his excitement
fell sprawling to the floor. Four others
seeking to get out of the rough and tum-
BILE rushed to the other side of the stage
and landed against six rows of chairs at
the side of the platform. The chairs slid
away and the quartet went in a heap with
fifty or more chairs. The shouting and the
tumult continued and the meeting broke
up in pandemOnium.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The singular
circumstance reported by the German mer-
chant in the above cablegram was ex-
planned by the reception of two cablegrams
from United States Minister Bowen at
Caracas. at the State Department this
afternoon. The first dispatch stated that
the Venezuelan gunboat Restaurado had
approached Cuidad Bolivar flying the Ameri-
can flag. She did not lower the flag until
she was very close to the shore, when
she opened fire upon the insurgents from
her position there. creating great conster-
nation. When the Restaurado returned 10

ter Bowen, who Indignantly demanded a
complete apology from the Venezuelan
government and also that the flag OF the
United States be saluted by the offending
ship.
A second cablegram from Mr.. Bowen re-
ports that the Venezuelan government
promptly acceded TO these terms made a
suitable apology and the commander of
the Restaurado hoisted the American flag
and fired a national salute. The matter is
still under consideration between the State
and Navy Departments.
