Judge Connor For Associate Justice.

To the Editor: / desire to heartily
second the nomination" of Judge Con-
nor for Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court. Indeed, he is none too good for
Chief Justice if he aspired to that honor.
Judge Conner combines in an eminent de-
gree those qualities that are essential to
enc holding position on our Supreme
Court bench. Learned in the law, sound
in his Interpretation of it, an experienced
juriss, yet withal a practical man of af-
fairs, possessing the judicial temper
ment" to remarkable degree; an up
right and honorable Christian gentleman.
in sympathy with the best moral thought,
he would make an ideal member of the
highest tribunal of our State.
Political parties, like Republics, may
sometimes be ungrateful, but | cannot be-
lieve the Democratic party will ever be
so ungrateful as to forget the self sac
rificing spirit exhibited by Judge Conner
in the interest of his party when in 1896
he declined the proffered nomination of
the Fusionists for a seat on the SUI
preme Court bench. choosing rather to go
down in honorable defeat as the candi-
date of the Democratic party, than to en-
joy the honors and emoluments of public
office won at the expense of his reputa-
tion for party loyalty. Those were the
dark days that tried mems souls" politi-
caly speaking; and even to this day when
the painful uncertainties of that time are
remembered, it is refreshing to contem-
plate the wholesome example and manly
action of Judge Conner in that memorable
crisis of our State and party's history.
This is why l say that Judge Conner
is plenty good for Chief Justice. By all
means make him Associate Justice, if he
wants it. @. X NIMOCKS.

 The facts are: Bells operations in Laguna drove band of insurgents in the Morong, about twenty-five miles from Manila in air line. Small band of La drones, driven from Cavite by constab- ulary, joined them. Twenty-Five con- stabularies, under a native sergeant, attacked them, Flories (governor of province), with municipal police, join- ing in pursuit. There are not 300 arms in the hands of insurgents and La drones in entire Luzon island to-day. This number reduced early by surren- ders, captures or casualties.
 "Constabulary, with aid of Trias (governor of Cavite) and native police, during the last two weeks have routed Ladrone bands existing in Cavite for many years, capturing and receiving by surrender over one hundred arms. The most important feature is sentiment among inhabitants hostile to Ladrones and insurgents All other organized provinces quiet. Situation never so good since American occupation, and very encouraging, notwithstanding per sstent attempts to create contrary im- pression.''

S10O,O00 REQUEST TO YALE
WILL OF LATE MRS. LURIA CUR-
 RTER. OF NEW FORK.
the Above sum to be Paid to Deserving Students In Need of Assfsfance-Co- Iubia Given S5, ,0O0 and Williams Also Gets Large Bequest

New York, March 6.-The will of the late Mrs. Luria Currier, which was ex- eeuted April IS, 1896, together with a codicil attached, dated January r last, a few days previous to her death, was filed for probate to-day. Mrs Gurrier leaves the bulk of her estate to charit- abic and educational institutions Yale university received $100,000 while Co., lumbia college benefits to the extent of S5,000. The income of the Yale bequest is to be paid to deserving students in need of assistance, the recipients to be designated by the faculty of the uni- Nersity, preference to be given to stu dents corning from New York city. The fund is to be known as the Nathaniel Currier fund.
 Mrs Currier leaves to various local charities s46500 and to the Y. NJ. c. A. of Amesbury, Mass, s5,00O She di- rects that should the estate not be suf- ficient to pay these legacies in full the bequests to Columbia and the New York Circulating library should be pro- portionately cut down, but should the estate exceed the amount of these leg acies then the residue is to go to the trustees of Williams college, Williams town. Mass
 By the codicil of January IT, 1902, the bequest to the New York free circulat- ing library is revoked, so that the pro- vision for the abatement or this bequest in case the estate is not sufficient to pay all the legacies in full, will not ap- ply. This, is is believed, will give Will Hams college very large bequest, for, though the petition says the estate Is worth $300,O00, it is believed it will ap praise at much higher figure
 The charitable and educational be- quests of Mrs, Currier become operative on the death of her stepson, F. w. Currier, who is the residuary legatee.

TRIAL BY OURY-M RTIAL.
Grave Charges Against Two Marine
 Corps Officers.

Manila, March 6.-A court-martial has been ordered to meet March F to try Major Littleton w. T. Waller and Lieutenant John Fl. A. Day, of the Ma rine corps, on the charge of executing natives of the island of Samar without trial One native was tied to a tree and shot in the thigh. The next day he was shot in the arms, the third day he was shot in the body and the fourth day he was killed.
 Friends of the officers attribute their actions to loss of mind due to the pri- vations which they suffered in Samar.
 The privations suffered by Major Waller and Lieutenant Day, referred to in the foregoing dispatch, were proba- bly endured during the expedition of Major Waller and detachment of ma rines, which started the last week of December, 1901 from Lanang. on the east coast of Samar, to cross the island to Basey about tllirty-fiv miles. They suffered untold hardships and were res cued by relief expedition. None of the men was clear in mind when found in the mountains. h.i.
