LEXOW’S RESOLUTION WINS.

Senator Cantor Hash. “Run In” With One
of His Colleagues and Offers a Sub-
stitute—Principal Features of.
the Lexow Measure.

ALBANY, Jan. 21. —The Lexow trust
investigation resolution came up for dis-
cussion soon after the senate convened to-
da

Senator Lexow offered a substitute reso-
lution which embodied the changes in the

,resolution' agreed upon in the Republican
caucus yesterday. The amended resolution
recognizes the existence of trusts and pro-
vides that the committee shall report reme-
dial legislation and submit a. report on its
work by March 1. The resolution provides
that the investigating committee shall con~
sist of three senators and four assembly-
men.

Senator Cantor said he understood from
the reading of the resolution that there
were two important changes In this substi—
tute—One recognizing the existence of
trusts, and the other limiting the time for
investigation to March 1.

Senator Lexow said that the fundamen-
tal changes were the limitation of time and
the statement that the object of the inves-
tigation should be to suggest remedial leg-
islation.

Senator Cantor replied that it would be
utterly impossible for the committee to
make any investigation by March 1. By
Feb. 1 the senate would be considering the
Greater New York bill, which would take
up the entire month of February. He said
that he did not wish to discuss these reso-
lutions at this time, but wished to call at-
tention to what he termed an attempt to
evade and prevent action upon this impor-
tant subject of trusts.

Senator Lexow charged inconsistency
upon the part of Senator Cantor. He said
that Senator Cantor demanded that the
resolutions should be amended to provide
for remedial legislation, and when they
had been amended as he had suggested he
still opposed them. He denied any inten-
tion to dodge the question and declaied
that the Republican party would be found
in the thick of this fight against trusts
in the people’s interest.

Senator Guy’s Objection.

Senator Guy said that the trouble with
the resolution was that it was too much
like those proposed in f01mer y 0111s. For
many years such investigations had been
proposed under exactly similar circum-
stances. These propositions had been per-
mitted to slumber in committee until too
late in the session for any action and had
thus been permitted to die.

Senator Wlay declared that he wanted
all trusts carefully investigated and
thought that this resolution should pass
as soon as possible to peimit ample time.

Senator Humphrey charged that last
year the Democratic members had tried to
block legislation permitting the attorney
general to make an investigation of trusts.

Senator Cantor said he thought the gen-
tleman did not mean what he said.

“I think I have weighed my words care-
fully, ” said Senator Humphrey.

Senator Cantor-Then, if you have, I
.declare it to be unqualifiedly and abso-
lutely false.

Senator Grady made a spirited denial of
Senator Humphrey s charges. He said
that his statements were false.

“If any gentleman says that I in any
manner attempted to delay legislation to
crush the trusts, he says what he must
know to be false. ”

Mr. Cantor offered the following sub-
stitute resolution:

“Whereas, The records of this senate
show that the investigation of trusts and
combinations has been fully and extensive-
ly made by committees heretofore appoint«
ed in the yems 1875.1878,1880,1885, 1889
and 18’12, and the repm ts thereof establish
clearly the iniquitous and oppressive char-
acter of such trusts and combinations as
affecting the public welfare, and rcconn
mend rcnicdiiil legislation to prevent their
formation or existence, they being gener-
ally known to exist in this state; therefore

“Resolved, That, in the opinion of the
senate, there is no necessity of makiugany
further investigation upon the subject of
trusts and combinations, but the legisla-
ture should proceed at once to the cnact-
ment of such remedial legislation 011 this
subject as will dcstr oy these con ibinatinns
and prcx t'nt thcii formation 11131 c il'itc.
Grady's l’lan.

Senator Grady then spoke on his substi-
tute resolution for chow’s, offered last
week, providing that the judiciary com-
mittee of both houses report a bill aimed
against trusts. He declared that “trusts
and monopolies’ did exist and that it was
a waste of time to investigate them; that a.
committee could only probe until their
questions hurt the witnesses called before
them. He said in conclusion that he would
favor giving the attorney general power to
destroy great combinations. Senator Can-
tor spoke in support of his substitute reso-
lution. He reiterated Senator Grady’s
declaration that an investigation was a
waste of time and declared that such an
investigation would block legislation for
cheaper gas. He referred to his bill Of last
year, which the governor vetoed. He said
that it would have given the attorney gen:
eral power to proceed against trusts.

Senator Lexow replied. He declared
that the failures of the past should not
prevent the legislature taking steps to pre-
vent combinations which were detrimental
to the community. He declared that the
effort was an honest one and denied the al-
legations to the contrary.

Aftei a great deal of discussion Senator
Grady’ s resolution to amend the antitrust
resolution, so that there should not be
final adjournment of the legislature until
some antitrust legislation was had, was de-
feated—nays, '23; yeas, 14—and a resolu»
tion by him calling for the judiciary com-
mittee to meet jointly and prepare an anti-
trust bill was also defcated—nays, 25;
yeas, 14.

Senator Cantor’ s substitute resolution
was defeated by a vote of 30 to 13, and
then, by precisely the same vote, Sena-tor
Lexow’s resolution was adopted.

The Hearing In the Application of the

Prince For Divorce.

BER DAMAGING ADMISSION '.

Ofl‘ered to Enter a Convent For Five Years
I and Then to Return to Her Husband.
Queer Extenuation Urged In Be-
half of the Princess.

CHARLEROI, Jan. ~20. —The action for
divorce brought against the Princess de
Chimay, formerly of Detroit, who eloped
last summer with a Hungarian gypsy mu-
sician named Janos Rigo, opened here to-
day in camera. There was a great crowd
present, including many newspaper 'cor-
respondents from Paris, Berlin and Brus-
sels. Th3 Prince de Chimay was in attend-

ance, accompanied by his cousin, Prince
Joseph.

At the opening of the proceedings the
public prosecutor asked that the case be
tried in camera. In so doing he said that
so much publicity had already been given
to it that the world probably could not

PRIXCESS CHIMAY.

be further outraged by the proceedings.
But in the name of public order he asked
that newspaper men and the public be ex—
cluded. The judge acceded to’ the public
prosecutor’s request, and therefore the
hearing was in secret.

Counsel for the prince asked the court
to grant his client a. divorce on the admis-
sions of the princess. He also asked that
the princess be allowed an hour’s visit per
month to her children, she paying them
an allowance of 75,000 francs yearly. If
necessary, counsel added, the petitioner
would produce witnesses to prove 22 acts
justifying the suit, and, he further stated,
the petitioner could prove four times that
number of acts in justification of the pro-

ceedings.
Offered to Enter a Convent.

Later counsel read letters written by the
princess to her husband in which she of-
fered to go into a. Carmelitc convent for
.five years, whence, the princess added, she
would return purified to the domestic
hearth.

The prince replied from Paris, saying
he was going to Chimay and that he did
not want to see her counsel.

Counsel continued that on the following
day the princess, accompanied by Rigo,
suppcd at the Embassadors’ Cafe Chantant
with a man and a. woman, and the princess
made a scene with the woman, whom she
accused of an attempt to steal her lover.

For the sake of the children, counsel
then said, the prince hoped the court would
not require proof by witnesses, as the no—
toriety of the scandal and the attitude of
the princess since the beginning of the suit
proved the principal charge—v' 12, her flight
with R1 0'0

In conclusion, counsel recalled that as
early as Aug. .10, 1895, the Gil Bias of
Paris spoke of the “vagaries of a. princess
in Pails” in an article clearly designating
the Princess dc Chimay.

Maitrc Allain, for the defense, did not
deny the principal fact, but contended that
all the accessmy Bl idence was false or
greatly cxaggciatcd. Proceeding, counsel
endeavored to clear the princess of the 10-
proach thot she was a. bad mother, assert-
ing that if it we 3 necessary to sock the
causes £01 the ccccnttic love in which she
had Wicckcd her honor they could be found
in the weakness of her husband, whom she
loved and still loves.

Counsel, continuing, asked the court not
to be influenced by the \ “atrocious accusa-
tion th at the piincess had abandoned her
children without rcgrct. ”

A Queer Defense.

The prince’s counsel pointed out that
the princess’ defense was confined to ex-
tenuating circumstances and recalled that
the pi incess, in order to escape from the
pleading of 1101 husband, sent him a formal
note through he" doctor that all communi-
cations between them must cease, adding:

“And today she has dared to reproach
her husband with having abandoned her!”

Counsel for the prince also said, “All
Europe would laugh if the court required
testimony in this case. ”

The decision will be rendered in a fort-
night; but, according to general opinion,
it is believed that the court will grant an
absolute divorce without hearing any testi—
mony.

Another Scandal In High Life.

LONDON, Jan. 20.—The trial of the ac-
tion for divorce brought by Countess Cow-
ley against her husband, Henry Arthur
Mornington Wellesley, Earl Cowley, was
begun in the divorce division of the high
court of justice today. The grounds upon
which the suit is based are desertion and
improper conduct. The Countess Cowley
took the witness stand and testified that
her husband deserted hcr' in 1892 ,when he
ignored her and openly showed his prefer-
ence for Mrs. Chairington. She said that
the earl was accustomed to spend several
hours each day in Mrs. Charrington’s
boudoir until Mrs. Charrington’ s husband
interfered. Upon cross examination the
countess admitted that she had had dis-
putes with her husband concerning house-
hold bills, which liad led to an agreement
between them to separate.

Steamer Disabled by Ice.

ST. JOHN’S, N. F., Jan. 20.——The steam

castle, grain laden, sought refuge here, hav
ing had her bows crushed in an ice floe.
Several plates were broken, and the fora:
hold was flooded. Continuous pumping
was necessary to keep her from sinking.

The" Long Drawn Out Fayerw‘eather
' Suit Brought to a Close.

T0 DISTRIBUTE $3,000,000.

Twenty Colleges Will Profit by the De-
cision. ‘Wliicli _Is Against the Besid-
uary Legatees—The Details of
the Complications.

ALBANY, Jan. 20.—Thc court of appeals
today decided the Fayerwcather will con-
test, involving the distribution of $3,000,-
000 among educational institutions all over
the country. The court s decision in the
case, Which was entitled Amherst college
and others, respondents, vei sus the execu-
tors of the will, appellants, is,“ Judgment
affirmed with costs to all parties appearing
by separate attorneys, payable out of the
estate.’

Judge Vann wrote the prevailing opin-
ion, in which all the judges but Chief
J udgc Andrews agreed. Judge Andrews

'wroto an opinion for reversal.

In deciding the Fayerweather will case
the court of appeals held in substance that
Mr. Faycrweathegintcnded that his resid-
uary estate, now amounting to about $3,
000,000, should go to the 20 colleges named
in the ninth article of his will; that he
would not have made the gift to the resid-
uary legatee had he not been assured by
them 01 in their behalf that they would
thus dispose of their legacies, that hence
they were under an equitable obligation to
so dispose of it; that they Jud no right to
disappoint his belief, based on their rom-
iscs, which thus induced him to ma. ‘13 his
will by disposing of the property through a
deed of gift to 11 hospitals and 21 colleges,
of which only five of the former and six of
thclattcr were named in the will; that no
one'cn-n take advantage of the act of 1860,
which prohibits any person having a. bus-
band, wife, child or parent from devising
or bequeathing more than one-half of his
or her estate to charitable, benevolent or
literary institutions, except the widow or
next of kin, who, by their releases, which
do not operate as transfers, waive and
abandon all the rights they might have
derived from that statute; that, allgobsta-
cles to the enforcement of secret trust being
removed, it bound the rcsiduary legatees
and compelled them to keep their promise
to the tcstator and turn over the residuary
estate to the 20 colleges mentioned in the
ninth article of the will.

Effect of the Decision.

Chief J ust1co Andicws, who dissented
from the pr cvailing opinion, holds that the
releases were intended as transfers to the
residuary lcgatces, who thus became en-
titled tO the rcsiduary estate.

The effect of the decision is to distribute
$3,000,000 among the following colleges in
equal proportions:

Amherst, Bowdoin, Dartmouth, Wil-
liams, Yale, Columbia, Hamilton, Lafay-
cttc, Lincoln, Maryville, Marfetta, Adel-
bcrt, Wabash, Park, the Wesleyan uni-
versity, the Universities of Rochester,-
Cornell, Virginia. and Hampton and the
Union Theological seminary.

Daniel B. Fayerwcather was a well
known and wealthy leather merchant of
New York city. He died on Nov. 15, 1890,
leaving a fortune of $5,000,000 to various
colleges throughout the country and many
benevolent institutions. Mr. Faycrweather
left a widow and three nieces, but no chil-
dren. His nieces arc Mrs. Mary W. Achter,
Emma S. Faycrwcather and Mrs. Lucy J.
Beardsley._

There was left to the widow, by the
terms of the will, $10, 000 in cash, the

family home at 145 East 11‘ ifty— seventh
street, with $100,000.11nd an annuity of
$15, 000 in lieu of her dower rights.

Mr. Fayerwoe ether always lived modestly

111‘ng his lifetime, consider mg his means,
and his yearly expenses never exceeded the
annuity which he provided for his widow.
Mrs. Beardsley received $100,000, and the
other nieces got $20,000 each.

The eighth paragraph of the will gave
$25,000 each to the Presbyterian and St.
Luke’s hospitals and the Manhattan Eye
and Ear infirmary of New York city and
$10,000 each to the Woman’s and Mount
Sinai hospitals in New York city.

Of'thc Icmaining 84, 500,000 about half
was left to 20 colleges and univ 01 sitios and
to the rosiduary lcgatccs.

The Twenty Colleges.

Under the ninth paragraph of the will
bequesls to 2-0 collc'cs, aggregating 82,-
100,000, were made: Bow (loin college,
Brunswick. Mo. ; Dartmouth college, Han-
0v er, N. H. ; Williams college, Amherst
college, Amherst, Mass. ; Wesleyan uni-
ver sitj, l‘yliddlotown, Conn; Hamiltoncol-
logo, Clinton, N. Y. ; University of Roches-
tcr, Lincoln university, Lower Oxford,
Pin; Virginia university, Churlottesvillc,
Va; Hampton univcisity, Hampton, Va.,
and Maiyviwllc r: )llcgc, Maryvillc, 'Tenn.,
8100, 000 each; ale college, $300,000; Co-
lumbia collero, New York city, $200,000;
Union Theological seminary, New York
city; Lafayette college, Easton, Pa. , Ma-
rietta college, Marietta, 0.; Adelbert col-
lege, Cleveland, Wabash college, Craw-
fordsville, 11111., and Park college, Parkers-
ville, Mo, $50, 000 each and Cornell uni-
versity $2 00, 000. All of the bequests in
the eighth and ninth articles have been
paid.

By the tenth article of the will as orig
inally constructed Mr. Fayerweather di-
rected that the residue of the estate,
amounting to $2, 500,000, be held in trust
and be divided equally among the 20 col-
leges mentioned in the ninth paragraph of
the will. The original will was dated Oct.
6, 1884, but by codicils made as late as
Nov.- 15, 1890, the day of Mr. Fayerweath-
er’ 5 death, the tenth article of the will giv-
ing the $2, 500,000 residue of the estate to
the 20 colleges named in the ninth para-
graph was revoked and this residue was
devised and bequeathed to “Justus L.
Bulkeley, Thomas G. Bitch and Hemy B.
Vaughan, to them and their heirs forever.

Proceedings were begun to probate the
will, but the widow and three nieces ob

jected on the ground that the will and cod-
icils were procured by undue influence
and fraud and that the testator was of un-
sound mind.

MONKEY WHIPS A BULL TERRIER.

It Was a. Battling Fight While it Lasted,
but the Dog Turned Tail and Run.

A greasy Italian, earying a hand 01'-
gan strapped about his neck and lead-
ing a monkey on a string, stopped in
front of a bicycle sh0p in Thirty-first
“Just
Tell Them That You Saw Me.”

Inside the door a handsome bull ter- »

rier lay dozing on the floor. At the
first sound of the music he lazily open-
ed one eye and caught a glimpse of the
monkey. Like a bolt from a catapult
he shot toward poor Jocko, and the
difference of five seconds only saved
the monkey’s life.

The little beast gave a mighty bound
and reached a post which stood in the
middle of the floor, where he found
secure foothold upon a gas fixture near
the ceiling. His frantic leap had brok-
en the string in his master’s hand, and
he was now free. For a moment he
clung to the fixture, chattering and
shivering in terror, his hair all the
wrong way, and his little heady eyes
as green as emeralds.

The terrier walked around the post,
eying his intended victim and whin—
ingly daring him to come down. Sud-
denly the monkey slid half-way down
the post, made a jump, and landed on
the dog’s back, where he hit and
clawed until the dog howled with
agony. Turn and twist as he would,
the dog could not reach the monkey
to bite him before he again sprang for
the post and reached the bracket in
Si‘ilt‘tlfi-

The dog was now wild with rage,
and he leaped and howled in his vain
attempts to reach his enemy. The
monkey paid no further attention to
the dog, who finally lay down at the
foot of the post and tried to lick his
wounds. Then like a flash of lightning
the monkey again dashed from his
perch, and this time landed well upon
the dog’s shoulders, where he flattened
himself out and stuck like a leech,
sinking his teeth into the dog’s flesh.

This time the dog seemed to be ten
tor-stricken, and after a brief struggle
to free himself from his uncanny tor-
mentor he tucked his tail‘between his
legs and made a dash for the street.
As he passed through the door the
monkey slid from his back, and, run-
ning up his master’s body, perched 11p-
on his shoulder, where he chattered
and scolded as long as 11c could see the
dog, who was running like a deer
down the street—Chicago Tribune.

 

THE' CHARITY OF CLEVELAND.

Daddy Bruin), an Aged Fisherman, Finds
in tire President a Friend in Need.

In the shadow of Gray Gables Dad-
:ly Brunn, the hermit fisherman of Buz-
zard’s Bay, has been granted leave by
President Cleveland to pass his dc-
clining days.

Fire destroyed the home of Daddy
Brunn and all his worldly possessions.
Brunn has been a resident of the town
101- ncarly a quarter of a century, and
during the greater part of that period
has lived alone in a rude cabin in the
thick woods just back of the main
street. He has, during all these years,
toiled curly and late, catching fish and
bait when the weather permitted, and
at other seasons supplying the village
storcke'cpcrs with lead sinkers of his
own design and manufacture.

TWhile Bi'unn owned the cabin ,in
which he lived, he did not own the
land upon which it was located, and
with the burning of his home the lease
of the land expired, and he was left
pennilcss and homeless. Brunn had
been given the use of the land upon
which his cabin stood for many years,
but for some reason he could not re-
gain his right of occupancy after the
destruction of his home.

The money sufficient to build :1 home
suitable for his shelter was very
quickly collected, but the value of land
along the water front has been so
greatly increased since the coming of
summer visitors that it was found
quite impossible to find any site upon
which he could build a home.

‘ Silhouettes Again the Fad.

After a lapse of fifty years the art
of silhouetting has been revived, and
is at present enjoying much favor in
European social centres. A half cen-
tury ago it was the fad of the upper
classes abroad, but its popularity
waned upon the advent of photog-
raphy, and the rapidity of the devel-
opment of that art caused it to be for-‘
gotten.

But of late interest in this peculiar
art of Ieproducing likenesses has as-
sumed such proportions as to reach the
dignity of a society fad.
