bate the will of Henry Leonard. who

H Leonard. is the contestant.
Mr. Leonards will bequeathed TO his
wife, Margaret. the sum OF $500, two

in this city, and a 2s-acre farm in
Norwood These bequests were in lieu
to the residue OF the estate. which is
left TO his two sons, Thomas I'll. and
Richmond A lot of land on Seabury
street is left to his daughter, Omma
Pitts.
The contestant alleges that Mr..
Leonard was OF unsound mind when

by undue influence. There is also a
question regarding the old mans age
at the time of his death, the contestant
claiming that he was s3. while the de-
fence claim he was only 20.
There are several witnesses TO be

STRIKE LIKELY
TO END TO-DAY

Paris, June 4.-The seamen's strike.
which has paralyzed the shipping OF
France. threatened TO stop the industries
of the country and TO breed serious and
" idespread disorder will. without doubt.
come to an end today. The delegates OF
the unions. after a conference with the
minister OF marine and the naval com
mittee OF the chamber OF deputies, yes
tcrday advised their organizations that
the acceptance OF the governments y over
tures would be best for the interests of
the strikers. in view OF the unsympathetic
attitude which the wholesale tying up OF
the commerce OF the country at such
short notice has engendered.
The minister OF marine has agreed to
abandon the punishment OF The strikers
who have laid themselves liable 20 severe
penalties for deserving their vessels, and
20 request the steamship companies TO
take back all officers and men I'm their
old places
The government also proposes TO in
crease the pensions of seamen from so. 50
to s72 year, and OF officers from 1856 to
800 n lear. The only possibility OF "A
hitch appears 20 be that the men might
refuse 10 follow the advice OF their dele
gates, but persons who are we'll inform
ed regard this as unlikely. and the men
are generally expected 10 resume work
today.
In the course OF his conference with the
strikers delegates NJ. Thomson declared
IL was impossible TO accede 20 their de-
mands He said. however, that any prop
option would be considered IL the strikers
returned to duty Immediately.
The delegates received similar advice
from the president of the naval commit
tee OF the chamber OF deputies. who de-
clared that. although the committee was
prepared carefully 10 examine the men S
demands, he did not think parliament
! could adopt more liberal measure than
that offered by the government
