Chicago, June 25-A remarkable suit
at law, to determine the final DISPOSE
ton of the $4,000 estate of the late
Thomas NJ. Jordan. of the Chicago
board OF trade, has been begun before
Judge Marcus Kavanaugh in the SUI
perior court.
The suit comes as an entire surprise
to the widow of Jordan and to the
other heirs. 1t was brought by George
Crychton Min, of London, once pastor
of Unity church in Chicago, and later
a Shakespcarean actor, jointly with his
wife, Louise Jordan Min, who is a
daughter of the dead board of trade
man.
Mr.. Min was the pulpit successor of
Rev Robert Collyer. His wife has
made name as an English novelist.
During the last week the Milns, &C
compan;ed from London by an English
barrister, Henry Wellington Wack,
have been in Chicago engaged in an ex-
Vi COuII
to the management of the estate in
question by Mrs. Anne E. Jordan, wild
ow Of the capitalist.
Based on this investigation, sensa-
tional charges are to follow in the
courts regarding an alleged attempt to
deprive the Milns of the share of the
Jordan estate allotted to the daughter
By will, AID collision and an alleged
conspiracy discovery by chance by the
defendants.
In substance, the plaintiffs charge
that for Is years the income from the
Jordan estate has not been rightfully
distributed, and the sums of money for
wardeu from Chicago to the daughter
in London have been insignificant COM
pared to those to which she was right
fully entitled.

that he visited, John Alexander Dowie
who styles himself Elijah I'LL" ar
rived here on the Lucania with his

Mr.. Cantel, a deacon of the DOwie host.

religious sect had such exciting expe-
riences. Before leaving his followers
in Zion City, he predicted that he would
bring back with him a fortune and a
large company for Zion City. He is
returning with his family and one
deacon, while his store of wealth is
said to be sadly depleted.

Cen. kurOI<i's Vigilance Causing
Them to Lose Heart and Interest.
New Chwang, June 24.-CVia Mes
eengcr to KOupantze.-The Russians
seem unable to reform their plans,
which have been upset by Gen. Ku-
rOki, and are losing interest and heart
in the struggle. The local censor is
not passing any COMMUNICATIONS. The
secret police are extra diligent, and it
is extremely hazardous to attempt to
send out uncensored dispatches.
New Chwang is filled with rumors of
more fighting to the southwark. The
reports come from native sources. A
few Russian officers, who talk guard
eddy. say the rumorS are untrue, but
that Gen. Kuropatkin intends to make
a determined stand at Kai-ChOu, where
many mines have been laid and
trenches constructed.
The field telegraph between Kali
Chou and New Chwang, which was
finished Wednesday, has been cut in
three places and five miles of the wire

This is regarded as evidence that the
Russians can not hope for the friend
ship of the Manchurians.
Large bands of robbers are giving the
Russian outposts much trouble north
east of New Chwang. The Japanese,
it is said, have supplied the robbers

LONDON PRESS COMMENT.
The Impotence of the Moroccan
Ruler to Suppress BriGRDdnEc.

The Impotence OF the Moroccan
Ruler to Suppress BriGnDdnEc.
London, June 25.-The Times, in
lengthy editorial on the release by the
bandit RaiSuli of Messers. Perdicaris
and Marley, calls attention to the fact
that the Times correspondent, Walter
B. Harris. was captured by the same
brigands who, embOldened by the sue
cess of that venture, seized MIR. Per-
dicaris, who on account of the high po-
sition held by that gentleman at Tan
gier fulfilled all the conditions which
would enable Raisuli to drive a bar
gain such as no other brigand had ever
yenturad to propose.
AS the result of the sultan's acced
ing to the demands of Raisuli, says the
Times, the world perceives the i'm
potence of the Moroccan ruler to dis
charge the most elementary duties of
government.
The moral of the situation, the Times
points out, is that France must inter
vene and provide the sultan with an
organized force and with funds.
The standard also publishes an edi-
torial in which it concludes that Mo-
rocco mus now cease 10 remain under
a reign of anarchy, and that France
must avert such perilous complications
in the future.

CONTRACTED BLOOD POISON
Coroner O'GOrman, of New York
Contracted Blood Poison While
Handling SIocum Dead.

New York, June 25.-Coroner O'Gor-
man, who has handled most of the
bodies recovered from the Slocum dis
aster, has contracted blood poisoning.
He pricked a finger on the right hand
while removing a breast pin from one
of the bodies last Sunday, although he
wore rubber gloves. Within a short
time the finger began to swell and the
poison spread rapidly. The usual
treatment has thus far failed to check
the spread, and anti-toxin probably
will be injected into the coroner's arm.
