THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 2, 1896. RUSSIA TO STOP TURKISH. ABUSES, The Czar Learns the Truth About Armenia and Crete. MISRULE MUST CEASE. England Is Exercised Over the Fate of the Jameéson Raiders. | SOCIALIST - CONGRESS FIASCO. British Naval Maneuvers That Were Disappointing—Ame=rican Politics Discussed. LONDON, Era., Aug. 1.—Itis more than surmised in official gunarters here that there has been a sort of palace revolution in Russia and that Prince Lobanoff if not overthrown has been divested of his un- limited power as Foreign Minister. He has been from the beginping hand in glove with the German Emvperor; so much so as amply to justify the original suspi- cion that his appointment was managed from Berlin. The credit for his defeatis now given to'the Czar's mother, who never bas forgotten that she is a Danish princess, and who hates all things Ger- | man. Whether she likes all things English | is not so clear, but for the moment, at least, - English statesmen think the way may De opened for a more effective pro- Christian policy in the Levant. Itvis un- derstood that between his Greek, English | and Danish relatives the young Czar has | been brought to know the truth about Ar- menia and Crete and to say that Russia shall no longer the monstrous part of | the Sultan’s supporter in these crimes agaivst civilization. Upon this new basis, I am told, fresh negotiations are now proceeding among the powers and it is not impossible that Germany may find herself alone or at best | with only Austria’s lukewarn assent in the position of backing up the Turkish misrule. Ifallthis be true, and there are numerous ndications that it is, then at last something can be done to break the shameful deadlock'in the East. It is shown that the Czar's health con- tinues bad and thai a distinet anxiety ex- ists least 1t may never improve. He and | his wife are coming westward about = | month hence, visiting Vienna first. | Several dates have been announced, but | it is said that the exact time is still un- settled. Beyond the understanding that Darmstadt, Copenhagen and Berlin are on the imperial = programme nothing is knewn. Paris is feverishly anxious to | | the frenzies of lunatics. delighted the radicals by acceoting all sorts of suggestions of theirs abdut widen- ing the scope ot the inguiry until the work cut out for it may easily be spun over a couple of years or more, Now they see that the prosecution of Rhodes may be plausibly postponed until the inquiry is coficiuded, and that a re- vulsion of popular feeling in she case-of Jameson makes it likely that the whole thing will now biow over. 2 It is obvious, too, that the native war in Rhodesia is growing steadily in import- ance. There are now no friends who can be relied on, and the whites in the dis- turbed country cannot aven hold their own much longer, let. alone regain lost ground. News of a great disaster is daily feared. a5 & The temptation to gird at Alfred Austin over the conviction of the raiders, whose exploit he celebrated, is too strong for human nature, and Le has been merci- lessly guyed on all sides. In the per- versity of inopportuneness: he chose just this time to make, a spee¢h on Burns at Irvine, which, as he delivered .it, was mere empty twaddle, but as he wrote it and published it in the Times contained an attack on the poet’s ptivate life, which infuriated all Scotland, besides inviting an‘imputation of cowardice on ‘hinrself. It is gleefully reported, 1 know not on what authority, that the Prince of Wales stipulated that the laureate should write no ode on the marriage of the Princess Maud. Certainly none has appeared. 1t is also said that the Queen isin very bitter temper over these pyblic slights to her laureate. Everything about the Queen now is so carefully shrouded in mystery that it is impossibie to judge of the value of any rumors concerning ber. It is only koown in a general way that she is the victim of increasing melancholia, which does not take gently pensive forms, and that since the recent marriage there have been persistent reports that she has re- solved never to appear in public again. Guarded reference to these reports is made to-day by the way of a semi-official state- ment. It is hoped that some means may be found of celebrating her sixtieth corona- tion anniversary next summer so that she may be able to take part in it. Calamity marked the International So- cialist Congress for its own from the very outset. The opening demonstration of Sunday, which had promised to be the biggest thing of its kind ever seen, was literally washed out of Hyde Park by a wild deluge of rain. For the following three days the sessions were pandemoniums of shrieking violence, | which the papers described at length as In reality they were more grotesque and savage than even the most hostile accounts picture them, Since the anarchists were at last thrown out the proceedings have been more peaceful, but the ridiculous everture quite sickened the public of the whole ! effair and no attention is paid now to what they say or do. A resolution maz! the state should support every scholar while getting an education, al the way | from the kindergarten to the university, is | the principal new idea thus far asserted. This .was opposed stoutly by Sidney Webb, who besides being & member of the Fabian Seciety is the head of the county councils of the Technical Education Board, and who pleaded that overeducation among the working ciasses was a grave danger. His plan was that the state should sup- port only such children as won scholar- ships, thus showing it to be worth while to further educate them. But Keir Hardie | retorted that scholarships won by compe- tition were unsocialistic, and he carried with him the whole socialist and most of the trades union vote, making an immense majority. The polyglot difficulties of the present gathering bave been so tremendous that many English members say they will never take part in such a thing again un- less English is made the sole language of debate. The big naval maneuvers just finished show results which were quite unlooked for. The slower and weaker fleet, with its chances in this list and it is difficult certainty to see how it can with decency be left out, yet it is also obvious that the | Parisians would make a demonstration | which would throw the whole .of the rest | of the journey into the shade. For this | reason it is now suggested that. the Czar | will go to all the other places first, then | interpose a period of quiet seaside .rest | somewhere—perhaps Norway—and then | make the French visit a thing by itself. Nothing is clearer about Nicholas than that he is devoid of military ambitions. His associatians are not with soldiers, and he has a strong aversion to the martial element in the ceremonies of court life. This tact makes it possible to view the or- ganized disturbance in Macedonia with | less apprehension than wouid bhave been | aroused a few years mgo. That they are | being produced under the auspices of the Macedonian Committee, which gets its | money chiefly from Russiam sources, is | now. here doubted. ‘There is a feeling, | however, that if the Czar lives and main- | tains even a nomirfal grip on things, these mischief-makers will not be aliowed to go | the lengths of provoking & war, Unbhap- pily, there is always a large margin of chance in Russian politics, and if one pal- | ace cligtie can upset Lobanoff, another may hoist him to the head of affairs again, avd, no matter how pacific tke Czar may be, there is a powerful army in- fluence always pulling in the other direc- tion, The Irish land bill is said now to be practically certain of getting through the Lords. Tyha Marqyis of Lansdowne yes- terday in proposing itin the ulppercham- ber felicitously likened himself to a tame elephant who was employed driving the wilder feilows into captivity. This most aptly describes the situation. No land- lord, whether Irish or English, likes the pill, but the Government is committed to it and if it is thrown out there is a moral certainty that some other bil still. less to their likinz will have to be passed later on, hence, though there may be lotsof furious talk, it is not probable that there will be | much® practical obstruction. Dilion kag risen to the full measure of his incapacity in denouncing the” measure. while ré- luctantly votivg for it. He has neitherthe ability to comprehend land bills nor the modesty to be guided by those who do, and this latest exhibition of his unfitness | is probably about the last that lreland needs. | 1f last week’s trial of the Jameson raid- ers was dull to the point of despair, none gan complain about the lack of dramatic interest in this week’sdevelopments. Lord Russell lifted the affair out of the com- monplace on Mcnday the moment he be- gan his charge to the jury, which not only made a profound impression on those who heard it, but has already taken & high place among historic law-making deliver- ances from tlie English bench. It made conviction imperative, and although there was oue juror who fully intended to hang | out for disagreement to the bitter end, he dound bimself commitied to a verdict 6f gumy under Russell’s interrogatories bé- fore he understood what whs going on. The court purposely refrained from mak- ing the convicts first-class misdemeanants. no doubt with the intention of thrusting this responsibility upon the Home Office. | For one day the Government seemed to | shrink from this responsibility and let the . prisoners go to an ordinary prison and be clad in convict garb. However, the papers had worked up such general sympathy by printing long accounts of the brutal way in which com- mon conivicts were treated, that everybocy was clamoring for the intervention of the crown, and when the Home Secretary an- nounced it yesterday the Commons raised a cheer from all sides. It is undersiood that Kruger intends contending for the pardon of the raiders, but it is doubtfut if this would be accepta This sentimental outburst of the public probably provides a way for the Govern- ment out ot its difficulty concerning Rhuodes. When the conviction of his sub- ordinates wasannounced,there was asharp demand in all quarters that he shou!d be prosecuted at once, aud bis own offer to come home immediately and stand trial only made the thing more awkward. There remained, bowever, tne device of a par- liamentary inquiry, and Chamberiain set this promptly in motion, He amazed and i | the large and fast fleet.

This practical demonstration | i nch might have done it as well as Ad- | be greater and swifter additions to the navy. Goldwin Smith, in the Saturday Review of to-day, has a long article on the Ameri- can political situation, which he views with characteristic gloom. He makes the point that if Canada were in the Union her vote would turn the ale in favor of honest money and scolds England for continuing to sever the north- ern fringe of the continent from its natural affiliations and to attach it to Eurovpe, whereas if Canada had a voice in the councils of her own hemisphere she would be helpful to all concerned. The late Colonel North was not un- lucky in dying when hedid. At a general meeting of the nitrate company this week he was openly denounced as a thief, and at a public sale of his great estate of Eitham, including his new castle, which alone cost him $1,500,000 to build, the highest bid was only $250,000 and no sale was made. Itis understood that the heirs will drop altogether his scheme of build- ing the grand northern Monte Carlo, to just beyond Ostend. { Mrs. Patrick Campbell for some reason strenuously objects to going to America and has accordingly withdrawn fiom her partial engagement with Beerbohm Tree, She also has rejected all English offers with which she has been dallying and | will take a prolonged rest in the country.

Such plays as have succeeded have been | like ““For the Crown,” *‘Chili Widow’’ and the -“Queen's Proctor.” Almost all the mopey made has been in the line of fatu- ous musical comedies, no less than aine of which are now running at the West End places.

LARGE BEQUESTS TO CHARITY Some Were Decreased by Slip_u!flion With the Widow:-Lawyer Han- lon’s $80,000 “Fze. . SAN RAFAEL, CaL,-Aug. l—Judge Angelotti to-day rendered his decision on final account of the execators in the es- tate of James M. Donahue, deceased, and decree of distribution of the money and property of the large estate. The Judge handled the complicated mattersinvolved, ineluding nice points of probate law, a mass of intricate business detail, calling for the skill of an expert, and the delicate adjustment of conflicting interests, with the hand of & master, and it is doubtfal'if any objection will be raised by the persons affected, although the Judge himself sug- gested on one point that an appeal might be taken. The decree distributed nearly $500,000 in money, and the estate enjoys the distinction of being much larger at the division than at the commencement of probate, which is not at all usual in such cases. The first item is the final account of the executors, embracing the period between April 25,1893, and May 23, 18%6. None of the many persons in interest has pre- sented objection to any item of disburse- ment, anda evidence shows that the ac- counts, so far as concern receipts ana dis- bursements, are correct. According thereto, the balance of cash remaining in the haods of the excators at the aate of filing the account was $412,- 24211, Other property, real and personal, also remains on hand to the value of $40,000. Various accounts are presented by the ex- ecutors for adjudication, which the Judge takes up and disposes of as follows: First—The claim of C. F. Hanlon, sttorne; for Executor Burgin, for moneys advanced, embraces different items, which appear to have been necessary, amounting to $126 25. Second — The claims of Butler, Notman, Jaline and Mynderse for legal services in New York—$61 95, was allowed, Third—The ciaim of D. A: Bmith for service as secretary, and in setthing litigation and re- covering possession of certain mining proj erty in Placer County—S$500—was allowed. The executors recommendad the payment. Fourth—Family allowances: Unger the or- der made by courtin 1890 there i§ due the widow, Belle W. Donahue, now Belle W. Sprague, for support of minor child of de- ceased, $10,000. This is for family allowances from October 8, 1894, to June 3, 1896, Firth — Compensation” of - executors. Total cash rec v executors during administra- tion 1s §1,247,048 44.

This gives a total of £14,690 48 ss commissions to which executors are entitled by law. The executors also request that they be al- lowed for s‘pecm sesvices as far as permitted by statute, half amount of commissions allowed by law, which would be 7345 24. The megnitude of the interests, the condition of danger in which these interests were, the volure of litigation, etc., all required unusual ability, indusiry and honesty. The executors had these qualifications, and lee done their duty. Butihey have been liberally dealt with and have each received over §5300 from the New York administration. therefore feel that the allowance :must be limited to ), making the total compensation of the two ex- ecutors-§16,690 48. - Sixth—Compensation of the firm of Hanley, Hayes, McEnerney & Bradley, attorneys for Executor P. J. McGlynn, {rom January 5, 1893, to date, $15.000, has been suggested as fair, and this amount has been consented to by the attorney for Mrs. Sprague. But the court must consider the interests of the minor cbild, and the various charities, and deter- mine for 1tself_what is a fair compensation. I have concluded to allow $12,500, Seventh—Claim of Hepburn Wilkins, ap- poinied in 1890 attorney for various unrepre- sented parties, in which capacity he served until August, 1893. He has alréady received $3000. A total allowance ot $3500 for the pearly three years’ service in my opinion would be fair, and his claim is ailowed for Mr. Wilkins was allowed for service as guaz- aian ad’ litem for Isabel Donshue, the minor chiid. *He Ligs also obtained for her by stipula- tion $44,000 thatmust otherwise have gone to the widow. The property distributed and 10 be distributed to the'minor is about $140,- 000. A fee of $3000 is allowed, to'be charged to the minor's share. Eighth—Claim of- Charles F. Hanlon, attor- | ney for both executors from April, 1890, to. January 5, 1893, to-.date. Cisimant has not siated the sum he deems reason:| able, : but lefy- it to the court for a full -and ‘- compleis _statement -of his services, and the testimony ot experts. Four lawyers have testified, placing -the sum at $125,000 to $150,000. The- court’ founa it difficult to decide fairly between theaitorney abd the estate, The ‘decision compliments Mr. Hazlog very highly. His work was done and resulted in.almost unhoped for benefit to.] the estate. To.extricate the railroad stock irom its perilous-position and put it in shape for sale; to convert' the remainder of the propérty into cash and meet ihe torrent of litigation, required the ‘best effofis of a° lawyer of ;great ability. The -result in this estate is, a5 has been -testiried to, marvelous,- Mr. Hanlon, for the courage, tenacity, in- y and ability shown by him, is entitled 1o & large part of the eredit. .To this Mr. Harion devoted all his time for two years and nine | mounths, except that he was also attorney for | the raiiroagd at a salary of $6000. For services | of'the character and worth described and the magnificent resillts obtained $80,000 seems 10 me a fair compensation, ang his fee is fixed at thet for the genefal administration. He bes recgived* on. account $305000,, leaving a ba!- dnce of $50,000, which is ordered pald to him: Ninth—Claim of Wood, Christensen’ & Co., & corporations This is reported by.the executors without recommendatign. Itisfor servicesin conneciion with the sale of the railrosd stock Delonging to tne estate. The decision reviews the testimony on thisclaim and allows $1500 {fof the service. * Tk > i 3 Tenth—For clozing the estate the estimatea expense is $2 kT of the $101,250 recently received from the purchasers of the railway Stock. Of this, according to the stipulation on file, there must go to the surviving wiie $10,- 462 50, a0d to the chiia $5231 25. This leaves & balance of $344,969 68. Amount that can be used in charitable legacies—All legacies have been paid except the charitable legacies, including the bequest for a fountain, ’Ihu amount can be devoted to these legacies? Under section 1813, C. C., itis admitted that they canmot exceed ome- third of the estate, and that to the extent they do 8o exceed it they are void and the excess must {u-!n this oase to the heirs, viz., the wite and child, Attention is given to the meaning of the words “One-third of the estate of the testator.” The opinion in the estate of Hinck- ley, supra, holds that the testator can give to charity not excepding one-third of ali the property of which he had the powerof testa- mentary disposition. This excludes the wife's half of ihe community vaer:{. To ascertain the amount of disposable assets Wwe must add to the $344,969 68 remaining on hand. the amount aiready. paid to general Jegatees, viz, $120,478 44, which gives us a total - of 448 08. Not exceeding one- third of this can be devoted to charitable legacies, viz.: $155,149 36. © . As regards the fountain monument trust Judge Angelo argued fully and very clearly thg.su.t of the bequest for the ublic' folintain at the intersection ot ush, Market and Battery streets, San Francisco.. The will.gives *‘for a public. Souatain, dedicated to mechanics, in mem- ory-of my father,”” $25,000. The court re- gretsthat he must hold that this is a be- quest for a charitable use, for it would be iairer to all thata portion of the expense should come from others than the charita- ble societies, . The court does not allow that this lezacy must abate proportionally with the others, as then ‘the legacy would- fail altogether, a $25,000 structure only being provided for. It therefore should be regarded as preferred and paid in full. Said he: I I am im eiror in this it can easily be corrécted on Agyenl.' The full sum of. $25,000 will be distributed to Bur. gin & McGlynn, in trust, to CAITY QUL this pro- vision of the will, This leaves available for the other charities $130,149 36.° The testator gives to St. Vin. tent’s Orphanage of Marin Counl‘y. 8201,_.000; omen Catholic Orphan Asylum of San Fran- cisco, $20.000; Archbishop of San Francisco, in trust, o be divided among the Roman Cath- olic charitable institutions of San-Francisco, 100,000; and also to each of the orphan asy- iams of Ban Francisco uot heretofore named $5000. Continuing the court says: ‘There can be no doubt as to the validity of the claim of first, she Maria Kip Orphanase, second, Pacific Hebrew Orphan Asylum, and third, San Franeisco Orphan Asylum., .The fourth, the St. Joseph’s Injaut Asylum, is also sllowed; so is the San Francisco Ladies’ Pro- tective and Relief Society. ‘1he Bishop Armi- tage Chureh Orphanage of San Francisco, the Girls’ Directory Orphan Asylum, the sen Fran- . eisco ‘Nutsery for Homeless Children, the St, Francis Techrical School, the Boys' and Giris'| Aid Society and the Youths' Directory are shuit | out, not hiving been orphan asylums.in the true sense at 1he time of the testator’s death. This gives us five institutions, each of which | is entitied to come in as an ‘‘arpban asylum of san Francisco.” To each of such institutions | 1s given $5000, making $25,000. Thus we have $163,000 in general charitable legacies to provide for and only $130,149 36 | to.do it with. This would give to each of the | legatees $7857 84 on its legacy. Such perd centage w{ll be given the following named charitable legatees, to wii: Pacific Hebrew Orphan Asvium.. San Francisco Protestant Orpl $3,948 92 UM, coviiniaieninnss 3,943 92 San Francisco Ladjés’ Protection and Re- et Society...... 3,943 92 Thé other charitable legatees are all affected Y_V astipulation by them with the widow that for purposes of distribution two-thirds of all the property of deceased should be regarded as community property. Under this the charities effected obtain only .652896 per cent of their legacies, viz.: Maria Kip Orphanage. St. Joseph's Infan: Asyinm St. Vincent's Orphan Asylnm: Roman Catholic Orphan Asy! Archbishop of Saa Prancisco. This makes a total to the Archbishop and these institutions of $109,766-16. The gain to 1he widow by the stipulation is $20,883 20, which must be distributed to her. This leeves a residue in cash of $149,820 32 to be divided equally between Belle W. Sprague and Isabel Donahue, minor, $74,910 16 to each. And also an undivided half h erty other than cash to each of 3 1o be paid out of the minor’ . Wilkins, her guardian ad litem.
