Ross of Stanford Uni- versity addressed a large audience this evening at the Unitarign Church, his sub- ject being “The English Nation.” The proceed: T lecture were for the bene- fit of Sunday-school section of the church. Professor Ross devoted a good part of his discourse to a prophesy of England's future, but made no reference to his re- cent experienc He sal The British pire will pass through a dangerous crisis during the next twenty years. T'pon her conduct during that ne will altogether depend her future in- tegrity as a nation. I have no doubt but | that if properly managed the colonies of | the empire would coalesce and rally to her standard. In order to maintain the empire the central power must be main d at all hazards. I do not think thal there s a possibility of war between the United States and England. If one should occur the British foothold would be lost forever on the Western continent. “England has much more to fear from Russia than any other European nation. Bhe will have a struggle to maintain her place in Asia, with the encroachments of the Czar's Government. The only other thing to be feared is a coalition of Euro- pean nations. France hates England more than she does Germany now. Ger- many's attitude is hostile. England real- that she must maintain an enormous navy, but there is one thing to be noted— she makes more enemies than she does battleships. In case of war it would take all her na to keep the coasts clear so that breadstuffs could be got to the peo- ple.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—Indications poin | to a contest over the will of Charles H. | Hoyt, the playwright, who died on Tues- | day in Charlestown, N. H. The terms of the agreement will not be made public until after the funeral. The peneficlaries | | | Will then be consulted and the paper will | | be filed for probate. The funeral services will be held at Mr. Hoyt's Charlestown home at 1:45 o'clock Friday afternoon. The paiibearers will be decided upon Friday ferenoon Mr. Hoyt’s will Is in the possession of his lawyers, Howe & Hummel, who drew it | before the beginning of the trouble that | darkened the close of the playwrights career. Its provisions canno: be definitely | ascertained but Mr. Hoyt informed his | friends and business associates befora his iliness that he intended to make gener- ous provisions for their benefit. Although | Mr. Hoyt had lost money during th last | two years of his life he left a considerable fortune. His guardian, Mr. Lyford, says that his estate is worth $125,000. Several of his plays are still on the road and are | producing good royalties. His property iu y"hnrleslown is said to be ona of the finest | in New Hampshire. Considerable cf the estate 1s in bank deposits and giltedge securities and high-class real estate in New Hampshire and New York. | _Mr. Hoyt's income this season from his lays is said to have been $500 a week. | Mr. Hoyt's nearest kin are three cousins— Hale Barstow N.

This was his last play and proved a faflure. His peculiarities goon afterward his confinement in a sanitarium. Mr. Hummel said to-day that abundant proof could be brought that Mr. Hoyt was mentally competent when the will was | executed. No decision has vet been reached as to the filing of the will. which may be offered for probate in this city, where Mr. Hoyt's business interests cen- tered, or in New Hampshire, where he maintained his residence and where he died. While it now seems likelv that it will be filed in the Surrogate’s Office here, that question will arise when those inter- ested come together. Many friends will probably go from this | city to Charlestown to attend the funeral.
