Fort Moxror, Va., April 19.—Another day has dawned clear and clondless and with just enough of a breeze to stir the waters of Hamp- ton Roads into aslight ripple. More people are coming in on every train and boat, and the crowds that were here last week tosee the be- THE KAISERIN AUGUSTA (GERMAN). ginning of the rendezvous were as nothing to the crowds that are bere now that the great gathering is well under way. There is some- thing going on all the tim: for the amusement of the nation’s guests. and this gives a great opportunity for enjoyment to the sightseers, ere are now in the roads twenty-eight men-of-war and every afternoon there are re- ceptions and dances on board some of them to which prominent people on shore as well as the friends of the officers are invited. Witha lavich hospitality everything possible is being done for the pleasure of the Visitors, and from now on until next Monday, when the fleet, haule up anchor to start for New York, there will not be any leisure or let up in the gaicty. SO IVAL OF THE GERMAN SHIPS, One ci tie most beautiful sights that has been seen here yet was ast evening, when the two German ships came into Hampton Roads. ‘They were the Kaiserin Augusta and the Seead- ler. ‘ They came inso late that had the larzer ship not begun firing her guns as soon as she had fairly entered the roads they would not received with a formal salute until this morning. almost as soon asthe German men-of-war bad sighted the Philadeiphia she began the usual work of bura- img gunpowder nnd from then on there was a constant succession of discharges from the big guns, The Kniserin blazed away with her guns, one after another, so that there was really a series of blazes noticeable, completely encircling her great hull and clouding i smoke as she passed on up to her place of anchorage. It was a wonderfully inspiring sight, and as the ralutes were answered in turn from the fort and from all the sbips at anchor the noise for a while was fairly deafening. ‘The roads were hung over with a dense cloud of smoke that almost made ths fect invisible, and ove couid well imagine what the sight would be here in the event of a real naval encounter. ‘The Kaiserin Augusta, which will be the flag- ship of the German squadron, is but one year old, and is rated as one of the finest #! the German navy. Registering 6,052 ton: will be, next to the Blake, the largest ship in the international flect, and ‘in many respects will be the most striking and effective of all the warships which go from here next Monday to New York. The Seeadler is an unprotected cruiser about one-third her companion’s tonnage, but built apparently on the same general lines. She, too, is buta year out of the ship yards, The two German ‘hips alone of the foreign squad- ronsare painted im the American farhion, and but for the flags they fioat und the distinctive look of officers und érew might easily be taken ag additions to the American ficet.

Yesterday afternoon there was an interesting between a nine from the Chicago and a picked nine made up from the rest of the s. ‘The Chicago bovs were old hs and had no difieulty in wiping up th their opponents, ‘There was aio an exciting boat race to en- tertain an immense crew of onlookers. It was between the barge irom the Philadelphia and one from the Chicazo. Each boat was manned with twelve oars. The course was four miles and vietory again perched on the world’s fair city ship. Her barge beat the Pailade!phia by | about twelve seconds, a close race for such a It was a great surp they were sare of victory and are out in the neighborhood of $1,500 as 6 result, i ‘They ascribed their defeat to the fact that their regular corswain was not in the boat, and Inter Coxswain Brennan, who has a repntation in the navy for never having lost a rac his barge and $600 over to the Chicago and offered to row the race over again. ‘The ehal- lenge was declined, even when the Philadelphia boat agreed to give them a handicap of thirty- six secohds in the four mile ENTERTAINED BY THE WHITE SQUADRON.

In the cen- of the scow was placed a barrel from the top of which protrnded a smokestack imitation of a miniature boiler and eugine. ‘The men bad secured all the refuse oil waste available from the engine room of the Philadelphia, and with this they started a smudge in the bottom so that when they ‘steamed out” for Norfolk there was a gorgeo from the sinck of most remarkable vessel. ‘The men had rigged a flagstaff’ forward and from the top they had looped a regulation flag, but the system of dag signals was a start- ling innovation in navy methods.

The only reason that has been ascribed for France's lack of apparent interest in the review is a sensitive feeling on the part of the French growing out of a fancied slight to the French Admiral de Librau on the occasion of the Coiumbian parade in New York harbor last fall. ‘Then, owing to some oversight, the officers of the French ships were not invited to the state dinner until sucha late hour they took offense.

On the 20th of the following month a will, purporting to have been made by Mrs. Olmstead on the 6th of June, 1899, was admitied to probate and letters testa- mentary were issued to John F. Olmstead, be having been named in_ the will as the executor. Under the terms of Mrs. Olmstead’s will property was left to her husband. On the | of December, 1891, a petition was filed by Mra.

On the 23d of January, 1892, the Probate Court sent the ease to the Cireuit Court for the trial by jury of the following issues: Pirst.

Fourth. Was the said will pro- cured by the fraud or misrepresentation of her husband or any other person or persont acti of their own volition or under the direction of her husband? These are the issues which are now on trial. MRS. HATWARD HUTCHINSON. Mrs. Hayward M. Hutchinson, the mother of the deceased wife, was the ‘rst witness called, and she related the general history of the family, Mr. Olmstead’s connection with the family, and the litigation which followed a! ber husband's death. She said her busband was extremely solicitous as to the welfar, their daughters, and «he | Subsequent to questions put bs Mr. H. E. Davis, Hatchinson said she had made a will while the girls were chilire which she had not seen for some years, as :t had been “‘spirited away” from the drawer in which she had locked it, Mr. Davis here pro- duced a paper and Mrs Hutchinson identified it as the will she had lost. ‘MRS. BALL'S TESTIMONY, The examination of Mrs, Hutchinson was concluded yesterday and the caveator, Mrs. Linda Hutchinson Ball, took the stand. She also related much of the family his- After her fathe dienth the m between Mr. Olmstead and the family caused an estrangement between Mr. Olmstead and his wife on one side and ber mother and witness on the other A. re ciliation followed, however. She said her sister, Mrs. Olmstead, first became ill | in the fall of 1888, and witness first learned of ber sister's ‘serious condition the fol- lowing March. She often saw her sister, but she never said anything about taking a will. | In June, 188%, Mra, Olmstead was ina weak and almost helpless condition. On the 15th of that month witness calied to eee her eister at ber apartments in the Portland lat when she was told by Mz. Olmstead that his sister had suffered a convulsion. He refused to allow either witness or her mother to see his wife that day, although they saw her the next day. Mr. Olmstead, however, never allowed witness or her mother to sit up with | his wife aftar that. Mrs. Olmstead remamed in bed from that time until herdeath. Witness called upon her sister frequently after that, but often was kept waiting a long time by Mi ‘Olmstead before being admitted to her sister's mace—once for several hours—although (r. Olmstead, the trained nurse and servanis passed in and out of the sick room. WHEN SHE HEARD OF THE DEATH. Witness first heard of her sister's death about midnight of the day of her death through ® telephone message from the nurse. Witness replied that she would go right down, but she received notice that she should not come until the next morning. She went at li o'clock the next morning and found everything done. Mr. Olmstead could not be seen, but was seen that evening. He told witness that he bad completed ail the funeral arrangements. The funeral services were held at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon. the body being deposited in a vault at Onk Hill Cemetery and buried the next morning at 7 o'clock. Mrs. Ball stated that Mrs. Olmstead seemed to be cowered by her husband, and never really herself the last several months | we her life. She once complained of her bus- | band having a painting of his first wife over ther bod. CROSS-EXAMINATION. The examination in chief of dirs. Ball was concluded this thorning, and Mr. H. E. Davis sought by crosé-examination to show that the witness had only con- | tested the will of her sister in order to prevent Mr. Olmstead from further prosecuting the case in equity instituted by bis wife against witness and = her mothe Mra, ~ Ball denied that such was her purpose in contesting the will, she having acted upon the advice of ‘her counsel, who wlvised her to do what she cou!d to break it. ‘fhe delay in con- through illness, to be consulted in the matter. Without concluding ihe cross-examination of Mrs, Bail, the court, at 12:30, took a recess for half an hour. The cross-examination of Mrs, Bail was re- sumed after recess. She said that Mr. Olmstead, afier his wife's death. once sid to her that she migh: have some articles belonging to his wife if witness would go to the flats with him. She refysed to do this unless Nr. Olmstead per- mitted a cousin of witness to accompany them. | He refused todo that. Mrs. Ball explained that she desired her cousin to accompany them because Mr. Olmstead had so often misconstrued what she bad said in conversation with him that she was unwilling to accompany him unattended. Mr. Olmstead had often requested wit- ness to belp him break er father's will, that the estate might = — be divided under the Jaw, saying he would guarantee witness an annual income of $30,000. Mr. Oimstead had also often = advised Mrs. Hutchinson to break the will. Her sister, said Mrs. Ball, be- came a changed being almost immediately after her marriage with Mr. Olmstead. THIXES MRS. OLMSTEAD WAS AFRAID OF BER HUSEAND. “That is,” suggested Mr. Davis, “she be- came her husband's wife more than her sister’ sister or her mother's daughter.” “Yes,” replied Mr. Ball, “but I believe that she was afraid of him, and I believe that my tisier ‘coming to eee us because she was afraid of her husband.” Continuing, Mrs. Ball said Mr. Olmstead was man she never liked, and she presuined be knew it.
