New YORK, March 7. The great Hop
kins-Seares will contest has been com
promised. Timothy Hogan Hopkins, the
adopted son of Mrs Mark Hopkins
Seares, has agreed to take b. 0O0,0O from
his stepfather, Il. +. Searlcs, and with
draw his appeal in the suit of Hopkins
against Searles over the will of the lat
ter's wife. The decision on the part of
Timothy Hopkins was reached last Mon
day, but was not made public until Sstur-
day. Last Monday Judge Endicott Of
Salem, counsel for young Hopkins, re
Ceived a telegram from him to the effect
that he had filed notice of his discon-
tinuance of the appeal on the part of him
sell and his wife, who is niece of Mrs.
liopkins-Searles. fhis was done at his
own risk, for at that time no agreement
had been made H. to how much he was to
receive from Edward r. Scarlrs, who now
gets incontestably the millions of Mark
Hopkins, left him by the latter widow.
strictly speaking, there is no compromise,
but Mr.. Searles, out Of his plenty, has
Volunteered to Give
the di,nhcrited adopted son a small
slice of the Hopkins wealth. The APP
peal has been withdrawn uncondition-
ally, and leaves Mr.. Searles complete mas
ter of the situation. He has announced
through his lawyers. Butler, Stllman &;
hubbard that he will provide for all Mrs.
hopkins relatives in a liberal manner,
There are twcnty-four or twenty-five of
them. Mr.. SearltS says that Mrs. Hopkins
left all her money to him, with the under
standing that he should provide for all her
relatives. The bequcathing of all the
wealth to him, Mr.. Searles says, was only
Il matter of convenience. Mrs. Hopkins
trusted TO his generosity, and he IL, he
now says prepared TO fiji her wishes to the
letter. The 8 250, 900 he offered Mr. Hop
kins over yeHr ago was, Mr. Searles says,
in strict conformity to the wishes of his
dead wife. The S}CO0,OOO which Mr..
Scarles allows Timothy Hopkins is made
up OF western property and cash 1t il
practically the same as offered him last
year, with one notable exception. The
palatial Hopkins house. on the corner of
! California aud Masons streets, San Fran
cisco, is not included.
Mr. Scares has told Mr. HOPKINS that
he wishes to keep it for several reasons.
He will convert it into great public in
stitution, whether library, picture gallery
or museum, he has not yet decided. In lieu
of this Mr.. .-eares has given Mr. Hopkiu
s350,Co0 in cash, which he regards as q fair
