WT tlUtles of the future In Greater Now York, and
r ,vo way to Col. Wnrlnc. Col. Wnrlne said;
V ''IntUo nnturoof things any remarks on the
nbjectot the cvenlnit must bo hypothetical. It
jM I teems a fair hypothesis, however, tlsurlnpon a
R'r I normal rMoot Increase, to cstlmntn that there
HU I irlll bo ten million peoplo in this city and the
H;A I immediate vicinity boforo thoondot the twen-
Vol "Uoth century. Lons Island, as I sco It, will
Hufll 1m covered with suburban homes to Its
VCuwA uttermost end, all easily attainable by
M,. Borne iiYcctlvo method of rnpld transit.
HK And thicr w ill be homes vv orth living In, with all
Wf I th lm'TOvoments ov en in the onto of tho poorer
B L peoplo; not tenements without air, llfiht, or
HE sanltay arrangements. Evcrbody who can
Qt 2 fiotoU Manhattan Island will, and what is now
Bl fJ& Now York city proper will bo crowded with
B'n mrcbltectural monstrosities devoted almost en-
'fin tlro',y to business.
wA, " 8utn condition of affairs will entail tro-
M'rP Hy .-ndous problems. One question that suggests
l II itacltls: How are thcso 10,000,000 of peoplo to bo
5'il (supplied with water! Tho rivers of this vicinity
W' I 'won't be sufficient, and tho Croton wntcrshed
J I will be only a drop In tho bucket. Hut bow it
I . 1 -wo use our water over and 01 cr again as wo do
JIL. 1 now I Yes. wo do use It over and over again.
ft J '1 after It has been rehabilitated by nature. Our
Ji'',, Mwago drains Into the rivers and floats out to
Mi 'A Da "' P"utC(l water is taken up by orapora
f ' Al R'on' to 'orm C'0UJ- "htcli pour rain upon tho
5 J() 'Mrth, and that rain, filtered by natural pro
mliv -cesses. Is tho water wo use again. In expert
't m ments made in Provldenco with sewage- from
f tho main sewer of tho city I have found that the
l M vraterof tho sewage, after passing through suit
1 8 able processes. Is In four hour, converted into
Jiure. sparkling, tasteless drinkinir water. Nor
-was I, tho Interested experimenter, the only one
f 1 "willing to taste tho water. Other gentlemen
I n drank it without hesitation and pronounced it
9 excellent. Porhaps In time. Instead of spending
I ffl millions on watorsbeds, the city will furnish com-
H tiresseil air power to pump the water already
T JB used to the roofs of the houses, whore, received
f la clsterna, it may be altered and purltlcd.
''I "This may seem ULhluicricnl proposition, but
I I believe that the other problems will bo Bolted
I in ways no less astonishing. Consider the mat-
-2 tl cer of transportation. Who would have guessed
1 ' J twenty years ago that the esteemed and dignl-
"I (it, cd President of this club would bo seen split-
.'iijJ'f alng along on a blcyclo I After tho bicycle, comes
Vftril tne antomotor carriage, which is a great con-
T-kfl tribatlon to the cleanliness of the streets. 1 be-
XBI Ilev that in twenty yean you won't seo a horse
Y In New York. Ho will have disappeared, that
I If, la coble animal n bo Is tho source of my greatest
I M m woes. Laughtcr.l
i ll A to tho people v will make up this Tast
i " Vi KewYorkof tho f taticth century I think we
f i may be hopeful. The city is much better than
f , fgf It was thirty years ago. and wo are going to
Im . kcepjn getting tttcr. Annlausc. All the in-
' rl dications point that way. We hCHragrotdeal
lf of the old-time and recent inlquitlos of Tain-
A? I awny- Hall, and many good folk believo that tho
ft" I 1J regime will come in with now force If Tam
f many gets Into power. Not a bit of It. (Ap-
( f I ynuse. The people have learned what
Ii good government Is, and they won't
H giro It up under any administration.
I I've had considerable conversation with many
,'j at the men who control Tammany, and 1 tell
I I .you, they aro governed br the same aspiration,
as we are, gentlemen. They don't hanker after
l public obloquy and disgrace. The voico of tho
l peoplo Is the controlling power with them.
i borne of them make mistakes; some of them do
I wrong: but any man of them will hold hi hand
1 before he will shock public opinion.
,, . t "Then. too. wo are educating our children
li. tetter than we used to. and that makes for a bet-
b-"tSrf ter city. Another powerful Influence will be
tl crrantrntlons something nkrn tothe fellowship
Ifg' clubs which will erring tip In every Assembly
JB I district and will discuss the welfare of that im-
JJ I delate neighborhood. A very much greater
lit II I Je1T York will bo a very much better New York.
4f I I The thing for us to do is to apply ourselves to
f I I the betterment of tho people, acting on tho
j II theory that & city will havo as good government
1 11 as It deserves." (Applause.)

Tho rontcst of tho will and codicil of Widow
Mary Johnson, who left most of her eslate of
moro thnn half n million dollars to Cnthollo
Institutions, disregarding nearly all her many
cousins, was resumed In tho Surrogate's Court
yesterday. A representative of Joseph II. Choito
of counsel for tho contestants stated that Mr.
Choato could not got Into tho case until Thurs
day and desired to havo the privilege of recall
ing tho witnesses for cross-examination. Tho
motion was promptly denied.
Plumber lul ward I). Gordon, one of tho wit
nesses to tho will, testified that when Mrs.
Johnson executed the codicil sho was In a dying
condition. She first signed her mmo faintly,
and was asked to sign again. Bho wanted to
make her mark, but was Induced to sign. Ho
was asked:
" Do you think that this dying woman, ignor
ant and of Interior mind at best, understood
what tho provisions mennt and what she wns
doing I"
" I do," he replied.
Tho wltnoss said that his brother wns n Catho
lic priest, but tint hn had only po'en casually
to his brother about the will. Ho has been as
sisted by Daniel J. Qulnlun, onn of tho execu
tor,, to open n plumbing shop slnco tho death of
Mr,. Johnson.
Dr. 8. J. Walsh, who attended Mrs. Johnson
ln her last Illness, said thnt ho believed sho was
in possession of her fn ultles. She w nn Illiterate
but not Ignorant. She oxocuted the codicil
about an hour and n half boforo her death. 1 he
witness told tier an hour boforo she dlod that
her death was nppronrhlng and she replied:
"God's will bo done." Ho had given horstlmu
lints In her last hours.
Q. Did you administer stimulants so that
sho would bo ready for the ordeal of making her
will! A. I did not. 1 administered ordinary
stimulants, and gavo her champagne among
other things.
Sho could not Ho down at tho timo of tho ex
ecution of tho codicil, he said, owing to diffi
culty of bnmthlng. so sho wns propped up with
pillow s. Tho enso w 111 bo continued to-dny.

Honolulu, Oct. 12, via San Francisco, Oct, 10.
Thero seems lo bo no doubt that tho Pacific
Mall Steamship Company will attempt tosccuro
from Sugar King Sprockets tho trado monopoly
of tho Islands In caso annexation Is approved by
tho Senato uoxt winter. General Mnnngor
Schwerln of the Pacific Mall Is guarded in hla
talk, but ho practically admitted ns much when
ho passed through hero last week on his was to
Yokohama. In Ihoovcutof ccitnln thing, hap
pening in tho future, ho said, tho steannhlp
unma, which has recently secured nn iinwnunn
roglstry, would bo put Into the island trade ex
clusively, nnd two now 10.000-toti twln-scrovv
steamships would be put on tho Japan run, w 1th
Honolulu ns a port of call.
Tlio China Is tho largost and swiftest steam
ship that trades in this portion of tho Pacific.
If Hawaii gots Into tho 1'nlou tho steamship
will socure an American registry, and will bo
ono of tho thrco vossols now In Iho trade that
will bo entitled to carry freight and pnesongers
bctweon this port and Sail FrancUco. Un
doubtedly, on account of her spcod, sho can so
euro mall Btibsldlos, and, if the Pacific Mall
Company can socuro control of the sugar trade,
sho would becomo n moneymaker on tho run
between this port nnd San Francisco, particu
larly as sho could alwajs bo assured of honvy
freights to the Islands.
As tho old steamship Harraconta, now on tho
Centrnl American const, has alto been placed
under the Hawaiian flag, and will, llko tho
China, become an American vessel, then In caso
of annexation, she, too, will bo at nllable for thu
sugar trado. Thoso two BtonmBhlps can do tho
work that now employs a 1 .rgo licet of sailing
vessels. Tho fast now 10.000 ton vessels tnnt
tho Pacific Mall Company Is building on Ameri
can soil will ennble the rompiny to glvo the
Islands even bolter pnssongrr scrrleo thnnnt
present, and its monopoly of tho Island trado
will bo complete
General Manager Schwerln of the Pacific
Mall, when talking about the plans of his com
pany, said: " We havo now on pnpor two 10,000
ton twln-scrow stoamships, deigned both for
speed and carrying capacity, which wo contem
plate putting In tho Oriental trado. Thiso aro
to be built in American shipyards, with Ameri
can capital, and are to have American registers.
These vessols aro to be far superior in stieod and
comfort to any now on Iho Pacific, The plans
and details aro all on paper and approved, bo
wo aro prepared to begin tho actual work of
construction at any time. Wo have not rushtd
their construction, ns wo wish first to see tho
steamships of the Japaneso Oriental Company
that aro to run on our schodulo on May 1 next.
Wo want to see them so that wo can build supe
rior ships. That wo shall build our new steam
ers Is, however. certainty. They will bo ready
to go into commission within the next fifteen
months."
Schworln denies tho report that the Pacific
Moll Compan Is figuring on buying out the
Oceanic Stcnmshlp Company. When Schwerln
left San FrnncNco he had not been Informed as
to the outcome of tho China registry cneo In tho
Hawaiian courts. It wits nccesoarv for blm to
know tho outenmo before he proceeded on his
Journov. Antiiinatlng tills, nnd knowing thnt
if tho China left port on timo she would sail for
San Francisco on the day that tho Peking SHiled
from Sin Francisco, ho had Cnnt. Smith of tho
Peking figure out a course for tho China to
steer, so that she would meet tho Peking In mid
ocean. Col. Macfnriane camo on here in time to
meet the China and dolivorid the Instructions
to Caot. Seahury. Tho plan worked perfectly.
On Oct. 5 the China nnd the Peking wero
brought within a stono's throw of each other.
Schwerln wis taken nbo.ird tho China nnd
learned from Capt. Senhurv tho full detail, of
the case, returning Inter to tho Peking aud pro
ceeding on his Journey lo this city.
JAPAN ACCUSES HAWAII.

pute lo Our linnldrrs.
Hovoluic, Oct. 12. via San Francisco, Oct.
19. It Is evident thnt Japan Is growing very
restivo under tho delays over the Immigration
trouble. The Hawaiian Cabinet recently de
nied that any reply had been received to Min
ister Cooper's noto, yet now It is lcnrncd that on
tho China, which arrived hero three .lavs ago,
came from Count Okuinn a draft of tho points in
dlsnuto nnd the ngrecmrnt for arbitration,
which wastobcslcrncd by tho Japanese Minister
Resident Shlmnuiura and tho Hawaiian Minis
ter, In enso It proved satlsfnctor to tho Ha
waiian Government.
Minister Cooper 1ns written a reply to Count
Okumn, in which he suggests cirtaln amend
ments to tho points as arranged by Count
Okuma, and this reply wns deltv crcd to-dny to
Minister Shlmamura. It Is believed Shlmamura
will send a despatch to San Frnnclsro by this
mail to be cabled to Toklo as quickly as possible.
Tho .'faiirfchic, tho Japaneso ofllclnl org-ui. In
discussing this matter Inn nccnt Issue, sajs:
"Tho points of dispute nud a drnft treaty for
its arbitration were despatched by the Foreign
Ofllce to MiniBtcr Shlmamura nn Sept. 2:),
and the documents will rcar-h Hawaii about

only momber of tho family in court yestordny
whon tho enso was nrguod. Tho last will of

and two children ln c;un) nhnros, and it Is con
teatc 1 by his children. If this will Is invalid
an onrllor ono will como In which loaves tho
eitnto between his two children.
Thomas Darlington mado tho motion urging
tho necessity of tho appointment of his client,
tho widow, as temporary administratrix, Btntlng
that tho estate consisted of real ami personal
property which would need lo bo cared for, ns
tbo will contest promised to bo a long ono.
Tho children opposed tho motion through
Whcolor II. I'cckhnm. who road an affidavit of
the son George, which said:
"My father left no roal estate In New York,
as far as I havo any knowlcdgo. If ho had any
I am qulto sure that t would know. Ha loft a
very small amount ot real estate at Bridgeport,
Conn , Iho valuo of which, In my judgment,
docs not exceed $3,000. Tho personal propor
ty left by Joseph Richardson Is substantially
filcdgcd to Hociiro dobts owing by him to tho
Inn of It. 11. Ulssoll & Co.. and the nmount duo
to that firm Is almut $150,000. and tho secur
ity pledged as eollntorni for the samo is of a
valuo not to exceed frfiOO.OOO. I do not know
of any other property left by him.
"Thoro was a certain amount of securities In
tho hnnds of Joeph Walker & Son ne collateral
far a loan duo from I lie said Joseph Richardson
to them. 1 um Informed that during his last
lllnoss'tho pitltloncr, Mrs. Fmmn'Rlchardson,
his presont widow, procured from him a trans
fer of that amount nnd that she assumed and
offered (he amount to which tho socurltlos
wore subject. I clilm thnt Mrs. Richardson
firocured this transfer when my father was not
n the full possession of his fncultlos and not
composmentls, and that it was obtained by un
due influence nnd coercion upon him."
George also nvcrs that Mrs. Richardson is
not a business woman and says he hellovcs sho
is moi o than TO years of ugo. Huskies, ho
urged that the estate dues not require n tem
porary udmlnlstrator, because It is in Biieh
shapo that It can remain as It Is until after tho
contest.
Muyo W. Hardline, of counsel for tho widow,
urged the appointment of his client owing to her
close knowledge of tho affair, of her husband.
The point brought out by too son, that a largo
part of tho estate is plodgod, ho said, was a rea
son for tho appointment of somo one who should
tnko tho property out of ndvorso hands and pre
serve It lor the determination of the contest.
Ho asked, It tho court would not appoint his
client, thnt somo disinterested person be named.
Mr. Feckham mid that In any event Iho
widow should not bo named, as oho had used
evory influcnco to get tho decedent's property
before his soul left his bod), end who, If It had
not been far Wnlker A, Son, would havo hrd
evory dollar. Ho r-nid lm did notmako these
statements positively, but such wero the allcg i
tions of his tide. If inv appointment should
be niede ho thought n trust company should bo
named. Decision wns reserved.
