The succcsslou of Myra Clark Gaines bids

fair to be as fruitful of litigation as uist of her father. The day after her death two wills were otered for probate, each

purporting to be her last will and testament. The first one lOed bore date Jan

Her landlady was threatening to distrain her goods and chattels for her board bills.

Mrs. Howe asked the Commissioners to Interfere in her behalf. They at once addressed a vigorous protest to U-e management, ami demanded the accounting of Mrs. Howe's appropriation, It is believed the management Is in no position to meet the demand, and that If the Commissioners make an unfavorable report to Congress, the result will be to throw the Exposition Into the hands of a receiver or other agent for the (lovernment. The threatened strike of the Exposition ,vorkmeti, which was to have occuned yesteulay, was averted by the payment of ten per cent, on account of back wages, and a promise of further payment wlthiu a few days.
