At 4 recent conference of the hlSh-

over by himself. Nicholas enjoined the
officers to speak with the utmost
frankncss, and for tho first time he was

A proposal to adopt the German plan
of naval administration was rejected
as untimely because. it would be re-

the control and hence the confidence
of Parliament, but those present at the
conference gathered that the Emperor
was fully determined to put through a
complete naval program. This pro-
gram will be elaborated us soon as the

discovered something as strange on the

Chronicle. The buildings of a whole

stead of touching only at Marfi, some
kilnmCtcrS distant. 1t was found
necessary to tear down about 800
buildings which have been built of the
shines produced by the grinding Of
ores from the numerous mines of the
district Straw was mixed with the
slime and in this way the adobe bricks
We're made.
When it became known that the

was granted. and samples We're picked

As the buildings were built in va

that the values varied TO a large cx-
tent. For instance, a wall on one
side Of the house would assay a low

kitchen might assay 80 cents a ton
and his parlor $50: or the window
where the girl face is seen may have
been opened for the pleasing pastime
presented at Il considerable loss to
that side of the house.
That the walls are found to contain
more gold than silver values is due 70
the fact that the old patio process OF
treating the ores was more effective
in extracting silver than gold values
ard the shines left were richer In goid
than silver. 1t will be harder TO
build such town in the future. as the
camp is now fitted out with modern APP
planes for treating ore. Hence the
houses now built of adobe lack the
genuine wealth Of the earlier homes.
A man may no longer build his home
of gold and silver bricks.
There are now operating in GUIANA
Juato or in course Of construction sW

be more ore worked than in any other
town of the republic. Immense bodies

WIDOW STILL FIGHTS
FOR HUSBANDS ESTATE.

Worcester. Jan. 6.-For nearly 10
years the widow and grandchildren of
Chester A. Dresser of Southbridge have
been fighting for possession of the big
estate he left. Two wills have been con-
tested through the probate and su-
premc courts and every step taken by
the widow in her capacity as executrix
of the will, which was finally allowed,
has been fought by the grandchildren.
Their last step has been to petition for
her removal from the position Of exec
utriX, claiming that she is weak mon
tally and physically. that she is hos
tile TO the grandchildren and that she
has mismanaged the estate to such an
extent that it has Shrunk and is shrink
ing in value. Every account which Mrs.
Dresser has filed during her charge Of
the estate is in controversy. The court
has placed the estate in the charge of
Charles II. Sibley of Worcester pend
ing the settlement of the disputes be-
tween the widow and grandchildren.

mill owner Of SOuthbridge. died in 1899.

thousands. soon after his death Il will

bate court allowed il after the grand
children Lad appeared against it, and
the contestants then took the fight to
the supreme court, where issues We're
framed and the case sent back to the
superior court fOr trial. The jury de-
cided that the will had been made
through the undue influence of Mrs.
Dresser The same day that the su-
preme court disallowing the will was
received a second will, made in 1892,
was presented for probate. The first
fight was repeated. but this time the
widow was successful in securing the
allowance of the will and her own APP
pontment as executriX.
Recently the petition for her remov-
al was filed, and as result she agreed
to resign. but asked for the appoint
ment of Atty. j. NJ. Cochran of South
bridge in her stead. This request
brought on another fight, which result
| ed IN n compromise on Mr. Sibley. Now
each Of the grandchildren has indicat-
ed that he Will contest the allowance
of the Widows accounts, which show
an estate of about $131.n00. Now the
heirs Of Henry r. Dresser have also
taken up the fight. and. with Mrs
Mary c. Edwards, are keeping it warm.
