THE ADY-MARTIN CONTEST.
Mr.. Ady Files a Second Brief With the
Senate Committee.

Mr.. ]. W. Ady, who is contesting the seat
of Senator Martin of Kansas, today filed his
brief with the Senate committee on privi-
leges and elections. and while at the Capitol
called upon several of the republican men,
bers Of the committee for the purpose of
comforting with them on points in his case
This Is the second brief filed IN the case by
Mr.. Ady and contains a few additional
points based upon the new testimony taken
under the order of the committee Of last
fall.
He claims that Martin received the votes
OF only 20 of the 104 members Of the Joint
assembly, as recognized by the house and
supreme court, while he received IL and
that even II the votes OF the members Of
the Dunsmore house who received certifi-
Gates are counted for Martin, that he then
received a votes, the same number cast for
himself in the legislature recognized by the
court.
Mr.. Ady said today that he thought the
contest would be taken up by the committee
about April l. Senator Vance Chairman of
the committee. who has been absent from
Washington for several months on account
of sickness, is expected to return by that
time.
Senator Martin has filed neither state
ment or brief in the contest nor has he tad
any testimony taken in his behalf He
claims to be so well satisfied with the iustice
OF his claim as to regard Ii unnecessary to
do anything further than to show the Dro
ceedings of the legislature to sustain his
claim to the seat. ''''

\ VETO EX PECTED
Opinion of Those Who Have Interviewed
the President.
Pressure Against the Bland SeigniOr.
age Bill Growing StrOnger-HOw
the Cabinet Stands.

Interviews which Congressman have had
late yesterday and today with Mr.. Cleve-
land and members of mis- cabinet have
greatly strengthened the conviction that
Mr.. Cleveland will veto the Bland seign-
forage bill. A great many who have here
tofore believed that he would sign it think
that he has now made up his mind to veto
the bill.
Protests Pour in.
Communications of all sorts, from all
parts of the country. protesting against
the approval of the Bland seigniorage bill,
continue to pour in upon the President
1t has developed that the cabinet is about
evenly divided in sentiment on this i'm
portant question. Secretary Lamont, At
tCrney General Olney and Postmaster Cen
eral Bissell favor the veto of the bill, while
Secretaries Gresham, Carlisle, Herbert and
Smith advocate its approval. The position
of Secretary Morton is not given, but he
Is believed to lean toward the silver side
Of the question.
The President Not Committed.
The all-important question. however. is
with regard to the Presidents purposes in
the matter. 1t is stated as a remarkable
fact that he has not committed himself
on this point to the members of his cabi-
net. II this is true it is scarcely probable
that any one outside of that circle has pos
itive knowledge of the Presidents inten-
items in the matter.
Veto Sentiment Growing Stronger.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury has made every ar
ragement for the prompt coinage Of the
segniorage bullion in apparent anticipation
Of the approval Of the BILL it is evident on
all sides that the veto sentiment is growing
in strength and confidence, and Ihat the
silver men are becoming correspondingly
discouraged. high official of the Treasury
Department Is quoted as saying that the
bill will be vetoed, but he discreetly refuses
to disclose the source Of his information.
Possible Information Next Tuesday.
1t Is believed that the President will not
announce his action on the bill before next
day-at the earliest, and
1t would surprise many interested persons
If he deferred action until Thursday next,
the last day allowed for action on this bill
under the Constitution.

From thesevidence now before me-" said
the controller, II have no reason to believe
that there has been any defalcation in the

correspondent of a New York newspaper

Board of Trade Committee Against a
Railroad ON the Flats.

Railroad ON the Flats.
At a meeting of the committee on parks
and reservations of the board of trade.
held in the office of the secretary yesterday
afternoon, at which were present Col.
Henry F. Blount chairman, and Messrs.
Charles C. Glover Charles J. Bell, r. G.
Rutherford, H. A. Griswold, ]. B. Winner
and William H. Rapley, preambles and
resolutions offered by Mr.. Charles C..
Glover were unanimously adopted.
The preamble set forth that. In pursu-
ance of legislation by Congress. $50 acres of
land. constituting what are known the
Potomac flats. have been reclaimed. at a
cost to the government of about $1,000, 900.
and that a wise and enlightened public
policy would dictate that this land. the
value of which is now millions Of dollars
should be forever reserved in its entirety
for national park, which would greatly
enhance the beauty ard grandeur of the
national capital, and promote the comfort,
health and happiness of it's own people as
we'll as of those from distant places, who
would view the attractions of the federal
city, and which may, at such time and in
such manner as Congress may prescribe
be conpected with the existing National
Rock Creek Park"
1t was therefore resolved that the COM
mittee on parks and reservations of the
Washington board of trade Is lnalterably
opposed to the use of said Potomac flats
or any part thereof for any purpose what
soever, except that hereinbefore set forth:
that this committee Is especially oppose
TO the proposition now pending before Con-
greSS to permit the Washington Aleyan-
dria and Mount Vernon railway to cross
with its tracks the entire northern bound
airy of said Potomac flats and to otherwise
secure privileges and vested rights therein.
and that therefore this committee as repre-
senting the board Of trade, most earnestly
protests against granting to any person.
persons or corporations authority in any
form to use or occupy said flats or any part
thereof for any private purpose whatsoever
and will strenuousy resist any measure
tending to impair the value or fitness of
said dats for national park.
