Sprcial Corresponfence of The Tridune. Sax Francisco. May 11.—W. S. O'Brien’s 541l has been the all-absorbing topic of conver- 3ation since his deatl. Yeople thought they were golng to get at a correct estimate of the sealth of ihe Bopanza firtn, but it transpires 2Wat the public know, if possible, less about it ghan they did before. There are but a few scant mwiilions accounted far. 3 Hé begueaths to ‘the Catholic Orphan Asv- lum for boys £30,009; to the Catholic Orpban Asyium for sirls, §30,000; and to the Protes- tant Orpban Asylum §20.000. He Jeft seven nevhews and ninces, to cach of whom be Lias bequeathed $300,00, and the re- mainder of the cstateis to be divided equally between his two sisters. The query is, therefore, What does the re- mainder amount to! Althoneh the will is very fairly made so far as the immediate family is coucerned, there are pumberless disappointed people. The Orphan Asylums expected at Tesst a mill- fon-between them. The Piotcers, who are slready rich enough in all conscience, anticipat~ el a generous remembrance. The Exempt Firemen, who are dwindling away very rapidly, and whose funds are going even faster, looked for = generous gift. Not an old friend, not an old servant, was remembered. L As Mr. O'Brien, however, drew $300,000 out of the firm a short time before nis death, it is thousnt that he gave such money as he intend- cd for his déarest friends to them pereonally, tbat there might be nothing of tbe law’s delay por the wrangling of exccutors for tkem to en- counter. % Within 2 day or two, a_new story has arisen 25 to his intended disposition of this fund. A new claimant comes 10 the front 1o break the clear, concige will. Q’Brien died a bachelor; bat, #s he was 52 years of age, it was naturally to be expected that he was nct entirely iree from the cutangle- ments usual to men of bis habits and wealth. 1t was well known among his intimates that lie had. for some moutlis previous to nis death, withdrawn from all his bachelor associatios and taken op bie residence with his sisters. It wag alvo known thet e was subjected to consider- able annoyance in consequence. And when asum of money so neariy approxmating a miilion was drawn aut, the use to which 1t would be put w. vretty gemerally nnderstood. ‘The heroine of the story is saidto have refased the whole £500,000 plnmd, which plainly showed thet she was ying for higuer usme. The ex- ecators of the will ure said to have promotly offer- «ed_her £500,000, which sheé also refused. ‘The woman puts 1t the claim that she isO'Brien’s Jawful wife, n consideration of baving lived with him sixteen_or seventecn yearsand huving borne Lim four children. i .

But this is only onc of many fiving stories. It is more probable that she buses her claim npon her long cohabitation witi him. and the unsuspected .extstence ot toe four Intle O'Briens. The general impression is that she hasa very Etrong case, there 3 Deen 0 many precedents of late for the breaking of thae wills of this kind when such domestic stories were hidden behind em. e There areseveral of the heirs of the Singer estate living_in Juxary mn ourcity. and the morganatic rs. O'Brien takes bearr of grace. Even if sne wine, there should be cnough left to make a generous distribution for the heirs. There are but $7,200, 000 devised by =pecial bequest, as all that remeined was to pe divided equilly be- tween the two sisters of O'Brien. As a:i Jeast six millions can be accounted for. there is no im- Einn\:fl danger of any of the O'Bricus starving to cath. Curlous people are hopmg that the sait will ventitate the resources of the firm. Moreover, toe Tax-Collector is gravely interested. It is even hinted that there is & quict agreement smonast the Bonanza neople thet, even in the wording of their wills, there shall b2 a jezlons guarding of the fa. tercsts of the lirta wnereby the secret of its magni- 1ude shall not be revealod, nor the Assessor guf- fered to descend npon them with an accurate gauge. of ita millions. Nobody believes in_0'Brien's *“six millions and nothing more.” In the palmy days of the Bank of <California, a facctious lady, whose husband's for- tune fluctuated with the #waying of that corpora- tion, was wont 1o remark that **T'he bank owned everything m the State exceother chickens.” Flood & O'Brien own evervthing here, chick- ens _inciuded, 60 that Madame iinlf-and-half and herlawyers will make a big strike i they stnke pay ore.

HSome days ago a house was destroyed by fire which was kcown os one of the old landmarks of San Francisco, It was called the Mansiou House, ana bad been considered in 115 day a very nice establishment. It had a checkered carecr, having becn in its day a dwelling-house, a small hotel, o maison de joie, and lastly & Chincse lodging- house. Fifty white people crowded it uncomfortably. Two hundred Chinamen daily livea and moved and bad their being aud their cooking withim its wails.

Even the hunary tramp cannot come to that. ¢ THE DANITES.” We have been having “The Danites” at Baldwin's Theatre for 3 week past. Strangely enough, this Californian play has come last to Califoruia to be indorsed. McKee Rankin hardly knows whether to be angry or to be astonished. He bad expected the most unqualitied approval. He had anticipated Joaquin Miller to beoneof the few proptiets who are not without honor in their own country. To his dismay he finds it to be not so. The Caiifornians resent “ The Danites ™ asa distorted picture of thetr carly times, and look upon its characters as something more like a band of desperadoes than the brave, adventur- ous men who roughed it in carly California. ‘The yellow-haired poet always called a spade a spade, but in * The Danites ”” e is_offensively coarse, and the Californiaos do not like it. Life in the mines wasa wild, rough affair from *49till ’56, and, there islittle doubt, rubbed off much of the polish and veneer of superticial education.

" Our Supervisors are deeply agizated over the {mportant question, *Shall our policemen wear blue ar gray?” They have been endeavoring to ‘maintain the peace this many a day past with a force of 150 men. By special enactment of the Legislature the foree is to be ineressed to 40, and itis now proposed to dress them in new blue, with outside belts for a finishing, and white gloves to be worn when on duty.
