ELOQUENT ARGUMENT BY
BRYAN IN BENNETT CASE

New Haven, Conn. Jan. 25.--Arguments
were heard in the Connecticut supreme
court OF errors yesterday on the appeal
Of William ]. Bryan from the decision OF
The superior court denying him authority
10 receive $50. 600 mentioned I'm the famous
sealed letter left by the late Philo S.
Bennett. of whose estate Mr.. Bryan is
executor.
In the expectation that Mr.. Bryan
would Assist personally in the arguments
the court room was crowded with attor-
neys, political friends of Mr.. Bryan and
other persons.
For the appellant Mr.. Bryan, Henry G..
Newton spoke for more than an hour, dis
cussing the intricate technical points in
volved and was followed by Judge Henry
Stoddard, counsel for the residuary lega-
tees.
Mr.. Bryan spoke for three quarters OF
sn hour and so eloquent was he that the
judges laid down their law books and
lawyers pressed forward TO listen.
lie said IL was due for him i'm this case
to say a few words as to the intent Of the
testator. This intent. he thought was very
Plain, and he hoped the court would be
explicit as to whether the sealed letter
could be received as n declaration OF
trust, even If not a part Of the will.
He said that most will contests turned
on two or three questions, usually on the
capacity of a testator 10 make Will, on
the question OF undue influence or on the
intent of the testator in making bequests.
In this case he thought Mr. Bennett
really competent to make n will.
AS to the question of undue influence,
he cited the fact that Mr.. Bennett travel
cd 1900 miles to Nebraska, carrying with
him a will to be used as a model, and af-
terward Travelled 1900 miles back to New
York, where he duly executed the VIII.
The question. therefore, turns on the in
tent of the testator.k
This Is a small case in which only three
or four persons in Nebraska are interest
ed. but II means much TO the people of
Connecticut II the court makes a ruling
that Is adverse to me that ends my re-
sponsibility.
II this court shall say that this trust is
rot effective that ends my trust to my
friend. and when l meet him, as ] hope
shall, | may meet him with a smile.
With Mr.. Bryan's close the case was
cnCed.

Railroad Rate Legislation.

Testifying before the Senate COM
mittee at Washington, Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Prouty said in
discussing the proposition to give to
that commission the power to regulate
railway rates:
L think the railways should make
their own rates. / think they should
be allowed to develop their own BUSH
ness. | have never advocated any law,
and [ am not now in favor of any law,
which would put the rate making pow
er into the hands Of any commission or
any court. While it may be necessary
to do that some time, while that is
done in some States at the present
time, while it Is done in some coun-
tries, am opposed to it. The
railway rate is property. It is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest of it's property is not good for any
thing unless it can charge a rate. Now
it has always seemed to me that when
a rate was fixed, if that rate was an
unreasonable rate, it deprives the rail-
road company Of it's property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should con6scate the property Of a
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent or four per cent. When you
put in a rate that is inherently unrea-
sonable, you have deprived that COM
pany Of it's rights, of its property, and
the Circuit Court of the United States
iSJi of ha n
amendment to restrain that. $
[ have looked at these cases great
many times, and | can only come to
the conclusion that railroad company
is entitled to charge a fair and reason
able rate, and if any order of COM
mission, if any statute of State Legis-
lature takes away that rate, the four
teenth amendment protects the railway
company"

DOWIE SEEKS PARIS.
Restoration Hosts Now Gathering Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars for
Monster Invasion.

Kenosha, Wis, June 81 Special /
John Alexander Dowie is planning an
invasion of France and it has leaked
out that arrangements are now being
made at Zion City by which Dowie ex-
poets to take Paris by storm. 1t is
claimed that the invasion of the French
capital will be the greatest religious pill
grimage since the days of the crusades.
When Dowie invaded New York a
year ago he took with him more than
5000 people, and it is claimed that the
invasion of Paris and other French cities
will be attended with all the ceremonies
that attended the trip to New York,
which was usually accredited as a fail
ure.
A French restoration host, to be COM
posed of 1000 men and women, is now
being organized in Zion, and it is claimed
that a large number of the people Of the
city have volunteered to join the host
and to pay all their own expenses for a
visit to the French capital DOwie is
paving the way by seeking the name of
every French man or woman in this
country.
It is claimed that the Dowie faith has
been carried into France and that in
many cities strong assemblages of Do
vie followers have been formed.
It is said that the cost of the planned
invasion will be in the neighborhood of
100000, and that money is now being
collected from the faithful for this
enormous outlay.
Il the plans now being made are car
ried out, Dowie and his restoration host
Will sail for France the latter part Of
October and will remain there for the
better part of three months.

Count Cassini's report places the whole
conversation in a purely informal light,

will be returned in an equally informal
manner. The officials did not hesitate
to express the opinion that the de-
termination to continue the war was
fixed and definite. The Emperor says

Remarkable ceremonial attended the
interment yesterday at Yarmouth of a
wealthy widow named Maria Mills, who
for thirty years had mourned the loss OF
her only son. She had planned her
obsequies to the minutest detail, and all
her wishes We're strictly observed.
-Four horses drew the hearse. The
coffin was not adorned with any flowers,
but was covered with a violet velvet
pail exquisitely embroidered to the de-
sign Of Mrs. Mills. The will directed
that ten bearers should be engaged at a
fee of a guinea each, all Of whom, with
the gentlemen in the incoming party,
wore old fashioned ''Weepers" secured to
their silk hats with rosettes.
On a magnificent marble column in the
cemetery Mrs. Mills had many years
ago caused her name to be inscribed, and
beneath it the richly polished, panelled
oak coffin was deposited in the presence
of an immense crowd.-London Chron-
