the terms of a sealed letter accom-
panying the will.
Judge Cleveland, in summarizing the
decision previous to handing down an
extended memorandum. said:
As 10 the question whether the will
was properly executed. there was no
claim that the testator lacked testa-
mentary capacity. 1 find that he had
sufficient testamentary capacity.
No Undue Influence.
TT was claimed by opponents of the
Will that there was undue influence ex-
ercised by Mr.. Bryan. / find thar there
was no undue influence
The claim was made that the so
called sealed letter should not be In
corporated into the will to become a
part thereof. ! ind that the letter
was not In existence. at least. the Ian
guage OF the document plainly Indicated
that the will was executed before the
letter was written.
The claim of counsel for the pro-
ponents was that even If the letter
was not in existence until after the
making of the will. the fact that a type
written draft of it was in existence be-
fore the drawing OF the will ought 10
be considered 20 support the contention
that the paper was part OF the will

not designed % be a part of and was
not found with the viii. but in the safe
Of Bennett, Sloan & Co. whereas the
will and sealed letters were in the safe

of the S.5O0,O00 appropriation for the
benefit of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road on account of the proposed termi-

1t is held by the Comptroller that the
later act passed by Congress on this
subject. February 2s. 1903, is intended as
a modification Of the act of February p
1901. and not as a substitute, and that
all the provisions of the prior act which

The Political Situation.

In the Senate Mr. Turner gained the
reputation OF being one of the strong

a fact which had much to do with his
selection for the Alaskan tribunal His
grasp of political conditions has always
been keen, and his service in the SEN

due appreciation of the MaryIander 5
powers. He said:
'GOrman's leadership of the party in

as a strategist and political tactician-
He has a master mind for working out

trict on the first days Of July. 1901. 1902,

AS TO the installments falling due on

District OF Columbia, under the terms
Of this law, is authorized TO retain dur
ing each Of said years the sum Of $50 900
out Of its revenues. not paying the same

The later act. requiring you to pay
these sums 10 the Treasury. is repug-
nant 10 the general law. requiring you
to pay all your revenues into the Treas
ury Of the United states. The later
law must govern and be taken as an
exception to the earlier act.
