TO REMAIN
AS ?. N. GENERAL
President Will Retain Cabinet
Officer During Time Of
Administration.
New York Sun Special Service.

Washington, March 31.-Postmaste
General Payne Is not contemplating
resignation at the present time, all
stories to the contrary netwithstand-
ing. The president, has not picked
out his successor and has not given
the matter serious consideration.
If Postmaster General Payne should
lose his health entirely, or if he should
die, "a vacancy in the postof1ce de-
partment would become Inevitable but
the same thing would be true of any
other Of the cabinet officers.
If Mr.. Payne holds his own or re-
covers, he surely will remain in office
during the rest Of this administration.

Superior Court Of Connecticut
Rejects Sealed Letter as
Evidence.
Judge Refuses to Admit Document
Bequeathing Fifty Thousand
to Nebraskan.
Court Fails to See Why Further
Appeal Should Be
Allowed.

New Haven, Conn.,, March S1.-A
decision rejecting as evidence the
sealed letter. by which William ].
Bryan was to be given $4,000 from
the estate of the late p. S. Bennett,
was given to-day by Judge eager in
on Mr. Bryan's appeal from the de-
cls1on OF the probate court declining
to admit the sealed letter" to pro-
bate, was resumed.
Judge eager said the letter was dis
positive In character and therefore
came within the statute governing
wills, which demands that every paper
that is codicil or testamentary must be
attested by three witnesses. He holds
that the admission of the sealed let
ter would override that statute.
! The court said there was nothing
descriptive In the will except this
phrase, "the sealed letter which will
there is nothing whatever to identity
the sealed letter as that referred to in
section IL of the will, no earmark to
show that this was the letter the tes-
tator had in mind when he prepared
the will.
! -.,, Exception to Decision.
! Immediately after the decision was
announced, Attorney Newton, for Mr..
Bryan, asked for an exception to the
ruling.
Judge stoddard, counsel for Mr..
Bennett, suggested that the court give
a ruling on all questions at once, as
interests of the litigants to get rulings
on all points that could be ruled
upon before the case should go up to
the supreme court. Judge eager
then declared a recess.
| When the recess ended, Mr.. Bryan
was called to the stand by Attorney
Newton. Mr.. Newton said that to

Of these exhibits was obtained by

the testator that the bequest Of $780,
600 should be made directly in the
Will; that 1t was at the suggestion and
request of Mr.. Bryan that the gift was
made conditional, ana that it was for
G were made, In the form that they
were.
Questions Excluded.
| What was said to you by Mr. Ben
nett with regard to the bequest of
$4,000 at the time Of the drawing of
the will ?"
| Question excluded
| Mr.. Newton: when did Mr.. Ben
nett first speak to you, If at all, about

Objection by Mr.. stoddard and the
| question was excluded.
Attorney Newton attempted to ask
several questions concerning the
scaled letter" to all Of which Mr..
Stoddard objected. Judge : eager
ruled them out one after, another.
Judge eager said, when Attorney
Newton asked for a specific ruling:
