PROVIDENCE, r. l., April S.-The contest
over the will of Mrs. Josephine A. Barnaby,
the widow of the former clothing merchant
in Providence and Boston, has come to an
abrupt ending. John H. Conrad, the SON
in-law, having decided upon this course.
The entry of withdrawal was made in the
supreme court yesterday and a certificate
of the case was sent at once to the probate
court. The will gave 100000 to the fam
lily of Edward Bennett, the Adirondack
mountain guide; $1,000 0 to the family of
Edward Worrall, of Chester, Pa, and $780,
coo to DR.. T. Thatcher Graves, the Provi-
dence physician who was sentenced to
death at Denver, but who is now held
there for a new trial.
The BENEFITS and Worrals have been set
tied with, but no offer of a settlement has
ever been made with DR.. Graves, who was
named as the sole executor under the wild
ows' will. The matter now having been
sent back to the probate court, JudgeSpiul
will decide whether DIR. Graves is a proper
person under the circumstances to be the
executor.
The withdrawal of the will contest from
the supreme court indicates that the prose
cution of the murder charge at Denver in q
new trial will undoubtedly be dropped
This is the belief among all the lawyers in
terested in the case and when the time foI
r%e-trial, May % is reached, the doctor is eX
pected to go free.

The MEMBERS of the Cabinet Discuss the
Presidential SUCCESSOR.


Washington. September 5.-(Specal) y
will it be William c. Whitney or Walter
q. Gresham:'
That is the question which is being asked
by politicians and statesmen on the in
side
Of course it means which win be the
next democratic nominee.
One OF these two men will be the adj
ministratlon's candidate before the next
national democratic convention.
Mr.. Cleveland would be satisfied with
either 1t is with MIR. Whitney to decide.
II he wants to be Il candidate, Judge
Gresham will not enter the contest and the
administration will throw all its strength
to bring about the nomination of Whitney.
Should he decline. however. Judge Gresham
will be the administration $ candidate.
After the cabinet meeting the other day
this question came up. There were present
Secretaries Gresham. Carlisle. Bissell,
Olney, Lamont. Morton and Smith. The
question came up over some mention of Mr..
Whitney's name, and even Mr.. Lamont, who
is the closest friend i'll the cabinet of the
eX-secretary of the navy, didn't know
whether he desired the nomination. 1t
was agreed however. should he express
such a desire. that all would be for him.
Secretary Smith mentioned that if Mir.
Whitney did not desire it he believed Judge
Gresham would be the strongest man in
the country before the people and that he
could get the nomination beyond the shadow
of a doubt. Dir. Carlisle stated that re-
ports to the contrary Notwithstanding, he
had no idea of being a candidate.
The matter was discussed in Il casual,
almost semi-jocuiar way, but since that
day there has been a good deal of talk
about it by individual members of the cabi-
net and nearly all of them are agreed upon
such a plaza as is outlined above. The only
man the administration friends of Mr.. Whit
ney and Judge Gresham fear is Vice
President Stevenson. Ihey believe him to
be very strong with the people but with
the influence of the president and his cabi-
net against him they believe his popularity
can be OYerthroWn.
There was never case in the history of
the country where the president and vice
president were on particularly intimate
terms. Mr.. Cleveland and Mr. Stevenson
are not exceptions to the general rule. Up
TO date the influence of the vice president
with the president in matters of appoint
ments has amounted to but little. While
they are on apparently friendly terms,
they are not intimates by any means. MIR.
Cleveland has never called upon the vice
president for advice, and so far as the adj
ministraton is concerned, Nh Stevenson
has not been consulted upon any question.
Mr. Cleveland looks upon him simply as the
presiding officer of the senate-nothing
more.

Mr.. Catchngs. member Of the committee on

day. many members the democratic side
had asked the committee rules to accept
the amendment and the committee had thought
it proper to accede to that request. The
committee had no desire to force ANYTHING
upon the house. There was some sarcastic
criticism On the action of the rules commit
tee from the republican side. but when the

WORKING A NEW LEAD.

Hope of Free Coinage mt this Session or Goh-
Eress has Been bandOned.


Washington. September 6-(Special y
The silver leaders of the house have apan-
doned all hope of the adoption OF Il Jaw
by this congress for the free and unlilill ,:i
coinage of silver. They know such Il plll
cannot be passed The house has already
voted free coinage down by 100 majority;
while on Il second vote on the embarrassed
issue, the majority against it might not IT, pc
quite so large, still there Is no hope. Inc
silver men are, therefore, working on an
reach a compromise of some sort enlarglng
the use of silver. 1t may be that all
factions will unite upon measure provldlns
for the purchase and coinage OF a CERTAIN
amount of silver annually, then aIter
congress has provided for the coinage OF
the seignorage of silver bullion in the treas
ury, an effort will be made to provide Tor
the coinage of all the silver bullion IN the
treasury. AS the notes issued for purchaS,,
ing it have always been redeemed IN gon
by the secretary of the treasury, it Is held
that this bullion stands for nothing ana
there is no good reason why it should not
be coined and placed among the aVallaDie
assets of the treasury.
The further policy of the southern ana
western congressman is to adopt law pro-
yidinc for the issue of currency by state
banks, to repeal the 10 per cent taX-but
to surround the notes with perfect sa1e-
guard. They will then urge the adoption
of an income tax and will strive Ior q re-
duction of all tariff schedules to revenue
basis. This is the policy of some of the
leading silver men. With them on all
these questions will probably be a majority
of both houses. The congressman argue
that if relief cannot be obtained one way,
thCy will try on another line. Free coinage
cannot be had at present. but possibly the
programme as outlined above can be car
ried out. Ono thing is certain, the repre-
sontatives recognize that the demands or
the country are so strong and so clear tNae
somn heed must be paid to them.

This action has for some time been antici-
pated, Mr.. Quincy having accepted the po-
sition with the expectation of relinqulshlrg
it after u short service. Since the Massa-
chusetts state democratic convention
was held, it has been apparent that there
would be an imperative demand for Mr..
Quincy to assume charge of the approaching
campaign. His resignation, as conse-
queuce, creates no surprise: 1t has beeh
understood that active political work is
much more congcnial to Mr.. Quincy than
