Silver Men Confident They VIII Control the
Chicago Convention.
CHICAGO. May 20.-A special to the
Post from Washington says: The pres
ident has been told that not only will
the sound money element lose its fight
In Chicago, but that triumphant and
merciless free silver majority will in
sist upon the adoption OF resolutions
in dcnunciation Of his course on the
money question. Senator Harris esti-
mates free silver majority In the con-
vention OF not less than 200. Cor
respondent Mcbride, who has all the
sources OF information that center In
John r. Mclean, of the Cincinnati En-
quirer, says the majority will be nearer
ESQ, and Congressman Bailey, Of Texas,
who Is running for senator on n FREQ
silver platform, will not be satisfied
with q silver majority under275. The
ultra-conservative have raised their
minimum estimated majority from
rs to 1e5. The free silver sen.
timent among the democrats has
the same ground swell roll TO It that
the Mckinley movement has among
the republicans The efforts OF the
administration from now on will DO to
prevent the adoption of condcmnatory
resolutions by the national convention.
II that can be done, the friends Of the
president feel they will have cause for
Generalization.

MORTGAGE CASE REVERSED.
Tho United states Supreme Court Uphold

Tho United states supreme Court Upholds
the First Kansas railing.
WASHINGTON, May 10 The supreme
court yesterday reversed the Kansas
mortgage redemption case and upheld
Judge Horizons former decision that
the law Of 1893 did not apply TO mort
cages or contracts made before Its pas
sage. Hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars invested In mortgages In Kansas
depended upon the decision. Mr.. Justice
Shiras handed down the opinion. lie
said that the case had been twice passed
on by the supreme court Of the stnte
Of Kansas. In the first opinion Chief
Justice Horton, thon the head OF the
court, held that the law of 1893 did not
apply to contracts entered into before
tho law was passed. Later, when tho
court was reorganized and Chief JUS
tice Martin was its head, the case was
reviewed and the court held that tho
law Of 1893 did apply to mortgages
made before II was enacted.
The case was brought to the supreme
court ON n writ OF error. The test case
was that Of Martha Barnitz, who made
In 1885 promissory notes secured by
real estate. Default was made In in
terest and suit was brought to sell tho
land. Meantime the law of 1893 had
been enacted by the Kansas legisla-
ture. It gavo IS months additional
time for final redemption, and allowed
the maker Of the notes to enjoy the
emoluments, rents, etc, without re-
straint.
In reversing the case and rcmanding
II back to the supreme court Of Kansas
to be entered upon in accordance with
the decree, Mr.. Justice Shiras briefly
said that the court concurred In the
opinion OF Justice Horton, of Kansas,
that the law did not apply to any con-
tracts prior to 1893. Justice Shiras
held that no law was valid which pre-
scribed the mode Of enforcing con.
tract in existence when the law WINS
enacted
