(By Telegraph—Per Press Association.) THE HOI'STOX MILLIONS. LONDON. July 28. Lady Houston telegraphed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer that she desires, as an act of grace, to present to the Government her share of the death duties on her late husband’s large estate. At the same time she affirms that it is a mistake to assume that his fortune was made-in England. The bulk of it was made in South America. Moreover, there is no denying that her husband was domiciled in Jersey Islands.

Tlie late Sir AT. Houston left seven million pounds. The duties are estimated at three millions sterling
