DECISION FAVORS BRYAN
WILL CONTINUE AS EXECUTOR
OF THE BENNETT ESTATE.
Application of Mrs. Bennett for Re-
moval of the Nebraskan Is De-
MED by Probate Court

New Haven, Conn, April 1S.-A de-
cision denying in effect the application
for the removal of William ]. Bryan as
executor of the estate of the late Philo
S. Bennett, was rendered by Judge
Cleaveland in the probate court. The
application was brought by Counsel for
Mrs. Grace Imogene Bennett, the widow
and other residuary legatees on the
ground that Mr.. Bryan was acting con-
trary to the interests of the estate. The
decision sustains demurrer filed by Mr.
Bryans counsel and practically denies
the application, as far as the probate
court is concerned. The matter will
now go to the higher court on appeal.
The claim of the residuary legatee and
that Mr. Bryan was acting contrary to
the best interests of the estate was based
on the fact that he appealed as an indi-
vidual and as a trustee from the decree
of the probate court refusing to incor-
porate as a part of the will the sealed
letter by which Mr.. Bennett expressed
wish that Mr.. Bryan should have $780,
900. 1t was claimed by the residuary
legatees that this appeal is inconsistent
with his duties as executor OF the will
and that he is unnecessarily delaying
the settlement of the estate.
In the demurrer it was claimed for
Mr. Bryan that in seeking to have the
sealed letter incorporated in the will he
is not attacking the will Or assuming
position of hostility toward it, but is at
tempting to remove the ambiguity of the
clause in the will mentioning the letter.

resented, and in 1873 he entered Spain,
announcing that he had come to save
the country. All the efforts of the gov
eminent were unable to dislodge his
force in the north, and during this time
the king had resigned, and Alfonso XII.
had succeeded him.
Still the struggle went on, until with
the fall of Toloso IN 1876 Don Carlos
had to leave the country and take refuge
in France. He issued another nantes
to, which, Joined to the belief that he
was in league with the partisans of Count
de Chambord, caused his expulsion from
Paris, when he went on a tour through
Europe and the United States and Mex
leo, and on his return to Europe took up
his abode in the Palazzo Loredan, Ven-
ice, where he still lives, and whence no
may march on his way to endeavor to
get back his own and to ascend the
throne as Charles VII, a happy omen
for those of his followers who believe in
odd numbers.
In 1893 Don Carlos lost his wife. by
whom he had five children Four of
these are daughters-Infantas Blanca,
Elvira, Beatrix and Alix He has one
son, his second child, jaime Juan Carlos
Alfonso Philippe de Bourbon, who is
commonly known as Don Jaime. He
was born in June, 1870, and is there
fore in his thirty-fourth year. An Off
Ger in the Russian army, and the heir
to his fathers pretensions and throne,
should those pretensions ever be made
good, and he is now at the front taking
part in the cars eastern struggle. In
1894 Don Carlos married his second wife,
Princess Marie Berthe de Rohan, who,
although belonging to family claiming
equal rights with royalty, was not of the
blood royal, and the union was there
fore regarded as mesalliance by the
strictest legitimists, who believe that
no woman not of the blood royal can
sit on the throne of Spain She has.
Aewever, allied herself so completely
with her husbands cause, and is at heart
so truly Spaniard, that she may be said
to have won over the party, to which,
it is understood, she has contributed
large sums of money, for she is enor-
mously rich. Don Carlos has been a
great traveller in his life, and in his wan
behring's he has lived for time both in
Brighton, England, and in London. In
Venice, where there is much state and
ceremony, he preserves a distinctly
Spanish atmosphere, the uniform of his
gondoliers, for instance, being charac-
teristically that of his country.

disturbance in Duluth railroad and
pulpwood circles. This child in years
transacts business with them like a
man of years experience. He is Fin

contractor who operates on the Mesaba
range. The little boy comes to Duluth
and contracts for cars, sells and re-
ceives the proceeds from the pulpwood
and performs all the other business de-
tails relating to such transactions. He
goes to hotel and registers like a vet
eran. Mr.. Hirstrio remains at camp di-
recting the work of cutting the pulp
wood and loading it on the cars, and
his ten-year-old son does the rest.

flores, the canal has also been COM
pleted, a distance of something over
seven miles. In the middle and higher
section of the canal the work was car
ried on for many years, with the sea-
level canal in view. Here is where
practically half of the work which has
been done on the canal has been
thrown away.
The plans of the American engineers
call for a system of four locks, one at
Bohio, where an immense dam Will
be constructed as part of the locking
system; another at Obispo, over IL
miles away; third at Pedro Miguel,
eight miles farther on the route to the
Pacific, and fourth at Miraflores, at
which point vessels will enter the
canal at the sea level of the Pacific. Be-
tween Bohio and Obispo there is to be
formed a lake Is miles long, with an
area of 43 square miles, and an eleva-
ton of IS to 80 feet above mean tide.
The Chagres river will pour it's torrent
into this lake and maintain the depth
of water which will be necessary. This
lake will afford vessels the opportunity
of anchorage According to the plans,
the velocity of the currents in the mar
rowest part of the lake should not ex-
coed two feet per second. This lake
will be formed by the building of a
dam at Bohio, and this with the double
flight of locks will require an outlay
of s11, 100000.
The section between Obispo and Pc
dro Miguel, a distance of less than
eight miles, is known as the big cut.
This is the section of the Cordilleras
which the canal encounters. The high
est point of the Cordilleras will be 2S6
feet above the bottom of the canal
when it is completed. 1t is in this sec
ton that the work of the French canal
company has been prosecuted during
recent years. About 700 men have been
kept busy up to the present time and
it is said that until about year ago
the force ranged from 1900 to $500
men and the amount of material taken
out averaged 10000 cubic yards an
hually.
Mai William M. Black, of the engi-
reer corps, United States army, with
corps of helpers, has been watching
the work done by the French company
since the American commission recon-
mended the purchase of the company's
property. He has made special study
of the isthmus, and is now engaged in
preparing an elaborate report to lay
before the new commission embodying
many suggestions. 1t is said that he is
an earnest advocate of a tide-level
canal, taking the stand that lock
canal could not offer the same strate-
uic advantages, and that in the event
of war one man with a stick of dyna-
mite would be able to destroy the locks
and prevent joint operations of the
American fleets in the Atlantic and the
Pacific. Maj Black and his associates
have made their headquarters in some
of the few good buildings which are
outside of the town of Culebra, in the
cultivated patches. Culebra's popula-
ton is largely made up Of Jamaica ne

SNlN work done on the big ditch
~ by the two French COM

And it would seem as though nearly

the United States purchased the canal

that the biggest part of the work still

Has, then, Don Carlos renounced all
intention of making an effort to regain
what he believes to be his own? Are
the allurements of domestic repose and
the desire for ease which comes in the
afternoon of life the reason for this in

MINNESOTA NEWS.
How We GROW.

Minnesota's leading cities have made
substantial growth during the past
three years, according to statistics
just complied by the census bureau
showing the population based on esti-
mates for the different cities during
the years since decennial census of 1900.
The total for the six leading cities
during 1901 was 100000 and in 1902,
47s,779, and during last year the total
was 4s7, AIT.
Some of the leading cities made sub
stantial gains during these years and
the population statistics now show
that ST. Paul has advanced from 1881
065 in 1900 to 172, O39 in 1903 Minnea-
polls gains from 2O2, 7ls to 214, 112 The
growth of st. Paul has been steady
each year, jumping up about 5000 each
since her decennial census in 1900.
Duluth has made a gain of about
5000 during the three years, and is
now given population of 81, 397. Man
kato has increased from 10, 500 to IL 1877.
Saltwater has made only a slight gain.
Her total in 1900 being given at II, 31s
and in 1903 at 12,636. A gain of nearly
thousand is noted in Winona, the to-
tai in 1900 being given at 19,747, and in
1903 the population was put at 20, 167.
The growth of all these cities has
been steady during each year since 1900.
The most interesting fact in connec-
ton with the growth of st. Paul is
that it has thus far since 1900 gained
practically in the same ratio as during
the period from 1890 to 1900, and if the
same ratio is continued the population
in 1910 should be more than 200, 900.
