PROBABLY A COMPROMISE.
The Stewart VIII Case to be Settled Out Of
the Court Room.

The Stewart VIII Case to be Settled Out of
the Court Room.
NEW YORK, June 6-The Stewart will case
Is in course Of compromise Yesterday Joseph
n Choate and Elihu Root. for the contestants,
and Judge Hilton waited on Surrogate Ransom
and begged an adjournment beyond next Mon
day, the day set for argument, on the ground
that the case was likely to be settled out of
court. Negotiations to that end, they said, had
made substantial progress. The Surrogate set
June 26 for argument, as a matter of form.
There is not the least probability that any
thing more viii be heard Of the case in the
court room. The expenses entailed by the con-
test have so far amounted to over half
a million dollars The great question now
Is how much Will Judge Hilton pay TO have
the case choked of? This suit was brought in
reality for an accounting Of his management of
the estate of A. T. Stewart. BY Mr.. Stewards
will he received 81, 100000 Four days after Mr..
Stewards death, In consideration Of that lega-
cy, he acquired from Mrs. Stewart transfer
to himself of Mr.. Stewards interest of about 80
per cent in the business of A. T. Stewart and
Company. This was In 1875. In the next nine
years he acquired the Stewart building, various
Mrs. Stewards. and at her death the accounts
he kept for her showed her in his debr about
s., 100000 Figuring from two distinct bases,
Judge Hilton passed from an ordinarily sue
from S1l 600 900 to Sl6 600 000-with no allowance
for increase by investment or otherwise-in
1885, when Mrs Stewart died.
The testimony in regard to his control over
Mrs. Stewart was astounding. 1t was proved
without contradiction that he rarely allowed
her out of his sight that she signed all sorts of
documents at his bidding that he charged her
interest on her drafts at 2 per cent, until the
legal rate became per cent, and then at full
rates until the interest charges against her and
to his credit were enormous and that goods
from the store for her use were charged at ex-
cessive figures. Several witnesses testified to
Mrs Stewart having repeatedly declared that
she had given Judge Hilton only a power
of attorney to manage the br siness for her, and
had never intended to transfer the property to
him. But amazing as was all this testimony,
the great surprise in the case came when the
contestants having finished, Judge Hilton's
lawyers rested their case without a syllable of
testimony in reply. This was in April. Argu-
ment was set for May 20 AS the time drew
near for Mr.. Choate to uncork his oratory, ru-
mors began to circulate that compromise was
on foot This was disappointing to those who
had watched the case from the outside, for
rare treat had been anticipated from Mr..
Choate, who never before had an opportunity
for the exercise of his peculiar talent for sharp
speechmaking equal to this.

The Civil Service Commission Says Exnml-

WASHINGTON. June 6.-The Civil Service
Commission has completed its report on the
result Of the recent investigations made by it
into certain matters connected with the Ex-
amining Board Of the New York Custom House.
The report Gays:
The Civil Service Commission. having concluded
in part their investigation into the recent manage
ment Of the New York Custom House, so far as the
behavior Of the local Examining Board and the
question Of the proper observance Of the civil SER
vice law, as regards entrance examinations are
concerned. find that the recent management Of the
examinations for admission has been character
lied by great laxity and negligence, and, on the
part OF some Of the Custom House employees, by
positive fraud. The clerk OF the board himself
testfes that certain Of the examinations were far
cical in character, and 1t has been clearly shown
that at least in one case, an applicant for admis
sion had his papers written for him by another
person; that applicants have sometimes found out
the questions In advance owing to the loose way
of conducting examinations, and have sometimes
been given the examination papers beforehand by
Custom House employees for personal. political
and pecuniary considerations.

DROPPED A FRACTION.
OIL Starts Out Well, bur weakens Toward

Oil Starts Out Well, but Weakens Toward
the Close.
The oil market opened at S2zsc yesterday, 1sc
higher than the close Of Wednesday, with
good undertone. Trading was quite lively for
a portion of the day. especially in the after
noon, when 1000 barrels were sold at S31sc, the
highest point reached, and 1000 at s21zc, tie
lowest. The closing price was S2ssc. These
were the extremes OF the fluctuations.
The feeling was about equally divided be-
tween an advance and a stump to-day, but all
agreed that the change would be triling either
way. The general conditions of the market
were practically unchanged. The clearings
were !, 900 barrels. Carrying was from 20 to
% cents.
sproul and Lawrence bulletined the follow
ing field news:
Washington, Pa.-The Moore No. well Is
showing 100 barrels per day. The Thompson
