Will to Probate.
Surrogate Fitzgerald has decided to
admit to probate the will OF Fannie H.
McGavic, the old maid who committed
suicide in st. Luke's Hospital on April IA.
1904. Miss McGavio bequeathed the bulk
Of her estate, valued at about $4,000. to
her phys!c:sn, Dr.. Charles Needing, to
whom she also decided large amount Of
money some time before her death. This
deed was in trust, and under 1t she enjoyed
for life the income from the $3.50, 900 which
she had inherited from her father, who
was president Of the Westchester County
Bank.
The will was attacked on the ground Of
insanity, and considerable evidence was
adduced to show that Miss McGavic was
eccentric in her manners and person.
Surrogate Fitzgerald says. however, that
the evidence is insufficient to prove mental
incompetency. as her decisions. which
took a religions form shortly before her
DEATH developed long after she had exc
cuted her will.
There being nothing in the instrument
to shock the conscience of>'the Court, 1t
being admitted that Miss McGavic, who
was 81 years old and in poor health when
she died, was greatly attached to DR..
Needing, there is no reason, says the Surro-
gate. why it should not be admitted to
probate.

call for his deputies to be ready to arrest
the Chinese tars In case they were released.
/. Agent Duke Of the Chinese bureau at Ellis
Island began to formulate plans to deport
the offending sailors and Lawyer Fox,
representing the British Consul, prepared
to press his claim that the prisoners should
be turned over to Capt. Grey Of the Dor
dogne and put IN irons.
Then the lawyer for the Cinnamon got
busy. He announced that he would not
permit any interference on the part OF
the Chinese Consul, that his clients had
waived examination and that he did not
propose to reopen the question as to juris-
dicion. Warden Flynn Of the Tombs

N. Y. Hs death was reported TO tho Navy
Department at Washington yesterday. Ad-
miral Benham was retired In 1904, after
nearly forty-seven years Of service, al
most half Of II having been at'sea. AfteE
theEpanish war he was called upon to serve
% member OF the Schley Court Of In

In 1892, two years after be became Rear
Admiral, Admiral Benham went to Spain
with the cruiser Newark to take part In the
4OOth anniversary Of Columbus's voyage.
and In tho following year he came back to
this country with his cruiser. conveying the
caravels which were b ought over In CON-
nection with the Columbian celebrations
In the New World.
From this duty he passed to the COM
mand OF the South Atlantic squadron and
went to Brazil. whore revolution was going
on. On his flagship, the San Francisco.
he was visited at Rio de Janeiro harbor by
Admiral Saldanha da' Cana, commander
Of the Brazilian naval forces, whose con-
fict with the land forces practically made
up the revolution. = Da Cana wished Adj
miral Benham's offices az o peace nego-
tiator, and the American Admiral, after
communicating with President Peixoto,
reported conditions to Washington and
received authority to act. Da Cana and
Peixoto subsequently met aboard the San
Francisco and had a talk.
While the American squadron was still
in the harbor few days later an American
merchantmen was fired upon by an insur-
gent vessel with muskets. The cruiser De-
troit was sent by Admiral Benham to pro-
tect the merchantmen and fred on the in
surgents with her Founders, threatening
to sink her. That ended the shooting,
and American merchant ships were there
after let severely alone down there. Ad-
miral Benham's promptness and frmness
we're widely commended.

when he was Is years old and went TO the
East India squadron, returning to his
home squadron In two years and being
