At republican congressional headquarters
Vice Chairman Apsley is still In charge
with Secretary Mercer and Col Fred
Schrader as his active assistants Chair
man Babcock has won his renomina ton
and is expected to return to the city in
few days and resume his labors in behalf
of the congressional campaign.
One Of the callers at HEADQUARTERS today
was Gen. Wilson. the national committee
man from Delaware, who has returned from
New York, where he has met his colleagues
Of the national committee. Gen. Wilson
had long talk with Vice Chairman Aps-
ley and gave him assurances of republican
victory in Delaware. He did not deny the
existence of the factional troubles in Della
ware, arising out of the Higgins-Addick
feud, but expressed the opinion that har-
mony would be reached in the action upon
the electoral ticket
Senator Pritchard of North Carolina also
called at headquarters and talked over the
situation In his state with Mr.. Apsley.
Senator Pritchard has not abated from the
confident attitude he has assumed all the
time.
Representative Coffin Of Maryland was
another caller upon Mr.. Apsley this morn
ing. He said there has been considerabl BILE
free silver sentiment in Maryland, but that
he has observed a falling off In the talk
within the last ten days. He is confident of
republican success in Maryland. He says
the democrats are badly divided upon the
money question, and the fact that the
principal democratic papers Of the state are
opposing the Chicago platform has great
deal to do with influencing public opinion
in the democratic ranks.

FRESH BREEZES BLOWING.
A Promise That 1t Will BE Slightly
Cooler Tomorrow.

There were fewer wilted collars and
crumped cuffs and less vituperation of the
atmosphere today than has been noticeable
for some time past, and the reason Of it
all was that host Of pleasant and reviv-
ing breezes began rolling in out Of the
west early in the morning and continued
their gladly welcomed inroads all through
the day. The thermometers showed sympa-
thy for the new order of things meteorolog
ical by dropping down a few degrees, and.
altogether. there was much for the great
general public to be thankful for in a
weather way, when comparison was made
with the preceding scurchers of the week.
The gratifying information was given out
by the weather bureau that the tempera-
ture would become still more bearable, the
announcement of slightly cooler being
'phoned to numerous inq'lirers from the
bureau with alacrity, not unmixed with
pride. There were more people on the
streets today in the business quarters than
for some days. and considerable shopping
was indulged in, to the great qualification
Of the merchants.
The weather sharps up near Rock creek
reported that the thermometric readings
up to o'clock this afternoon were as fol-
lows: am. rs; pm, 81; maximum, 81;

For yesterday the figures were: am,

ton Continues the Fight.

While it will not be q matter of surprise to
those intimately connected with the case,
it will be to the general public to learn that
the controversy over the estate Of the late
Judge Advocate Generalj Joseph Holt has
been compromised and settled to the extent
of one-half of the estate. That is, Miss
Elizabeth Hynes of Kentucky, equal bene-
ficiary under the alleged will of February Z,
1873, with Miss Josephine Holt Throck-
morton, has withdrawn from any further
contest over the document. and has assigned
to the heirs-at-law Of Judge Holt all the
title, interests and rights she would enjoy
under the same In consideration Of Miss
Hynes withdrawal and Assignment, 1t Is
understood that she receivcd from the heirs
at-law a sum which willSfully compensate
her for the expense borne by her so far in
The case. The amount. 1t il further under
stood, is much less than $1O,OOo.

fed an intention to JOIN in the appeal from

afternoon, however, there was filed in the
Probate Court an appeal bond, in which
only the names of Miss Throckmorton and
Mr.. Devln appeared. In explanation of
the non-participation in the appeal by Miss
Hynes. there was also hled at The same
time a stipulation signed by Messrs. Jere
NJ. Wilson and A. S. Wbrthington, repre-
senting the heirs-at-law, and by Mr.. j.
J. Darlington Oh behalf of Miss Tnrock-
morton and Mr.. Devlin. The stipulation IS
that Miss Throckmorton and Mr.. Devl.n
should give their appeal bond in the sum
of 5000 and prosecute their appeal with
out the concurrence in said bond or in said
appeal by Miss Hynes, in like manner and
with like effect as II there had been a
formal summons and severance as to Miss
Hynes, their co-caveatee.

one-half of its value. The appeal will prob

for the District that the Commissioners
had no right to consider the bid of the

and it is added that court circles are great
ly troubled regarding the condition Of the
queens health. Such reports have fire.
quently appeared of recent years. only to
be semi-officially contradicted later. But
it now seems that there may be some ac-
tual founda ton for the statements made.
1t is added that her majesty has decided
20 spend her time in future at Balmoral or
at Osborne, and that she will give the
Prince and Princess of Wales the use of
buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.
There is 10 doubt that the queen seems to
feel greatly the weight of her years and be-
reavements, and her majesty is quoted as
having repeatedly remarked during her last
stay in this city, at Buckingham Palace,
upon the occasion of the recent marriage OF
Princess Maud of Wales to Prince Charles
of Denmark: This is my last visit to
London"
Color is given to the rumors in circula-
ton by the deep emotion displayed by the
queen as she bowed in reply to the enthu-
siastic cheers of the multitudes which lined
the route from Buckingham Palace to the
railway station, where she took the train
for Windsor after the marriage ceremonies.

enables the gun to be fed directly from the
box in which the cartridges are shipped
from the factory, instead of from belt,

doubt is entertained at the democratic con-

rooms at the Bartholdi, In New York led to
the announcement yesterday from New
York that the headquarters were to be To-
