math Of the recent suits of the next
friends Of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy,

the leader in the management OF her
affairs, came Saturday when h trus-
tees of a fund for the benefit of her
son, George w. Glover. of Lead. s. D.,
Mary Baker Glover, his daughter, and
others sought the ruling of the superior
court as to their duties in regard to
the fund in view of the effect Of the
recent suit of next friends upon the
trust fund.
On February 25, 1907, Mrs. Eddy es-
tablished a trust fund of $125, 900 for
the benefit OF her son, his wife and
children, and named as trustees Frank
c. Streeter and Irving c. Tomlinson,
of Concord, and Archibald Mcclellan,
of Boston.
Four days later Mrs. Eddy's son and
other next friends" filed the suit In
equity which declared Mrs. Eddy in
competent. On July 8 Glover filed an
other bill in equity in which the facts
were set forth in regard to the trust.
and asked the court to assume the
guardianship OF it.
Late Saturday afternoon an answer
to the second bill was filed by the trus-
tees. They refer to a provision in the
trust deed which says that "if any
one or more Of the beneficiaries under
the trust shall directly or indirectly
make n contest or opposition to my
last will or the disposition OF other
property by me, all right inc interest
Of such beneficiary or beneflciaries in
this trust fund shall ~thereupon and
thereby terminate"
In view of this provision, the trus-
tees ask the advice and instruction OF

WI TING FANG.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Is China con
fronted by a gigantic struggle to pre-
serve its territorial integrity? Do the
recent treaties entered into with ia
pan by Russia and between Great
Britain and France have Is Interior
object the partition OF the en-
pire which the late Secretary
Of State John Hay fought to
the day of his death to prevent? These
questions are given rise to by the Pc
kin announcement that ex-Minister
WI Ting Fang may return t the
land he nee loved SO greatly and
from which he was withdrawn because
OF his too ready acceptance Of Amer
lean customs.
Oriental advices are that Wu's in
fluence with the United States and
Germany would prove potent in secur-
ing these two governments co-opera-
tion to thwart plans looking to terri
torial looting.
. The Chinese government desires, 1t

tirement from Washington and the ap-
pointment In his place Of Baron Mumm
de Schwarzenstein, now German minis
ter, to China; also the selection Of

GIRLS COMING
II HUNDRED, ALL TOLD
levy Of Pretty Ones, Mostly
Irish, invading America on
Approaching Liners.

Liverpool, Sept. 2B.-The remarkable
exodus of marriageable young women
from this country to America and
Canada. was emphasized by the depart
lure OF 1000 unmarried women on the
steamer Baltic alone, while 700 more
were among the total OF 5000 passen-
gers carried on other steamers.
, It is said possibly the Dublin exposi-
ton this year had drawn many Irish
servant girls to America to their old
homes, and that they are now return
ing.
Another explanation is that the cut
in steamship rates enabled many girls,
who had been saving up to come to
America, to set sail sooner than they
had expected, and that the Baltic thus
caught the A~mericanward stream at
high tide.
