GOING TO CHICAGO.
Silver Men Here to Leave Tomorrow
Mr.. McLean'a Chances.

Silver Men Here to Leave Tomorrow
Mr.. McLean'a Chances.
The majority of the attaches Of the
headquarters of the American silver or
gan.Zation in this city are preparing to
leave for Chicago tomorrow or next day.
DR.. Mott. the chairman Of the national
committee. Is now In Chicago, where he
will remain until after the convention
DIR. Mott has called a meeting of the
na tional committee of his party, to be
held Saturday at Chicago. 1t is said by
the secretary, who is yet in the city, that
a full representation of the committee
members of the committee feel great in
terest in the outcome of the conven tion
The purpose of the meeting is not an
nounced, although it Is pretty we'll known
The committee wants to the demo-
Gratis nominate Teller or Sibley, and the
members are going to do all they can to
that end. When the nominations have
been made there will be q more formal
session of the committee to consider the
matter. The committee will then go to
ST. Louis, to meet in advance of the na-
tional convention in that city of the silver
party.
MIR. McLean's Chances.
John r. Mclean will leave here tomor-
row morning for Chicago. He will go
In his private car, and will be accompanied
by Mrs. Mclean, who will be one of the
spectators Of the scenes in the coming ma
tional convention.
Mr.. Mclean. as is his invariable rule,
declined to discuss the situation to a Star
reporter. He talked pleasantly on all
ether affairs, but when 1t came to DOLL
tics he was mum. The determination Of
four or five Of the District delegates to
support the candidacy of Mr.. Mclean for
the presidential nomination has enlivencd
matters considerably. and will give the Nc
Lean boomers heart. One of the men
VINO has for months been talking for Nc
Lean, and who will be in Chicago. said
this morning to Star reporter that the
chances of the Ohio man are good. The
same man over month ago talked sf Nc
Lean as the running mate of Bland. and
was afraid that his talk was not enthus-
iastically received.
Among the few politicians left In the
city the idea seems to be that the talk Of
Mclean for first place is to give him a
stronger hold on second place, which his
friends have planned for him from the
start.

NEW TRIAL REFUSED
Formal Motion Today on the Holt
Will Case.
The Affidavit of Mrs. Grant Attached
-GrOunds on Which Counsel
Based the Request.

Judge Bradley this afternoon formally
overruled the motion for a new trial in the
contest over the will of the late Judge Ad-
vocate General Joseph Holt. and directed
that the findings of the jury, setting aside
the alleged will of February Z. 1873, be
certified to the Probate Court.
Messrs. Darlington, Lee and Butterworth
counsel for Mr. Luke Devlin, the executor
under the alleged will, and of the bene-
ficiares under it, Miss Lizzie Hynes and
Miss Josephine Holt Throckmorton, filed
the motion shortly after l o'clock this af-
ternoon, filing in support Of 1t an affidavit
signed by Mr.. Devlin. Attached to Mr..
Devlin's affidavit was letter signed by
Mrs. Julia D. Grant, the widow of Presi-
dent Grant, in which she stated, under
oath and under date of June 20. 1896. that
she accompanied her husband to dinner
given by Judge Holt at his residence, at
which Gen. VIM. T. Sherman and his wife
were also present.
Mrs: Grant, while unable to remember
the date of the dinner party, although
given some time while her husband was
President, stated that she did remember
that during the evening Gen. Sherman
called his wife from a room. where the
ladies were sitting, saying that she was
wanted for a moment.
Mr.. Devlin. in his affidavit, then goes on
to explain that he learned Of Mrs. Grants
StdteHeHt 100 late TO use II IN evidence at
the trial.
The formal motion for a new trial set
forth the following eight grounds in sup
port of it:
First, that the verdict was contrary to
the evidence: second that it was contrary
to the weight Of the evidence; third that
the evidence was insufficient to support the
verdict; fourth, that the verdict is contrary
TO law and to the courts Instructions; fifth,
that the court erred in his rulings upon
the admission and rejection of evidence
and In instructfng the jnry; sixth, on ex-
ceptions taken by the caveatees as to the
same matters: seventh. on the ground of
newly discovered evidence (Mrs. Grants
statemenD, and eighth, because the find
ings of the jury upon the first and fourth
issues ought severally to be set aside on the
grounds heretofore enumerated.
The counsel in the case appeared before
Judge Bradley in his private room, where
Mr.. Worthington, on behalf of the heirs-at-
law, opposed the motion. No arguments
were made. the Judge promptly overruing
the motion.
1t is expected that Friday next counsel
for the heirs-at-lew will ask the Probate
Court to set aside the alleged will on the
verdict rendered in the Circuit Court
whereupon counsel for the caveatees will
note an appeal to the Court of Appeals.
The latter court, having adjourned for the
summer, will not consider the case much
earlier than October or November next.

RIVERS AND HARBORS,

Orders Issued for Carrying Out Pro-
visions of the Appropriation Bill.
AS the result of conference between the
President and Secretary Lamont at the
White House last evening, orders were is
sued at the War Department today for the
immediate execution of the provisions of
the river and harbor bill with the exception
OF those sections Of the bill providing spe-
officially for the making of contracts for
the continuation and completion of the
works. All the work provided for in this
bill will he done under the supervision of
Gen. Craighill, chief of engineers, and that
official was ali exceedingly busy man today,
issuing his orders to the officers in charge
of the various Improvements In all parts
of the country to proceed at once with the
ordinary government works in their re-
spective districts.
No action will be taken at once with re-
spect to the in portant works for the COM
pietion of which the bill authorizes the
makirg Of continuing contracts. There are
thirty-six items of this character in the
bill, and the authorities are now consid-
ering the best course of action with re-
spect thereto. Although the Dill authorizes
the making of contracts for these works
during the fiscal year beginning tomor-
row, il is expressly stipulated that no pay
ments shall be made thereon before the
fiscal year beginning July l, 1897. Conse-
quently, the fact that action has been
temporarily suspended upon these sections
of the bill does not in itself serve to defer
the authorized expenditures on account of
those works covered by the continuing
contract clauses of the bill.

ARMOR PLATE COST.
The investigation to BE Made by Sec
retary Herbert PersOnally.-


Preparatory to undertaking the investiga-
tion into the cost Of production Of armor
plate, with which the Navy Department
was charged by Congress, Secretary Her
bert was today in conference with the
chiefs of the bureaus of construction and
of ordnance, and also with three naval OIL
GERS, who are experts In the fabrication
of ordnance These are Lieut.. Albert L.
Ackerman, who is at present attached to
the battle ship Oregon, but who was for
three years preceding his present duty sta
toned in the ordnance bureau, and in that
place had much TO do with the develop
ment of the high-grade American Harvey
lied armor; Lieut.. Nathan Z. Niles, who
has been summoned from the Lancaster,
and Lieut.. Karl Rohrer, who is temporarily
detached from the Amphitrite to give the
Secretary the benefit Of their knowledge
as armor experts
Secretary Herbert intends to conduct the
inquiry personally, and to that end he will
leave Washington tonight for Carnegie's
works at Homestead. accompanied by Com
modore Hichborn, chief of the construction
bureau, and Captain Sampson, chief of
ordnance. OF the two concerns which at
present supply the armor for our naval
vessels one, the Bethlehem company, has,
it is understood, offered to supply the Sec
retary with an itemiZed statement of the
cost of armor production, and this will be
accepted as a basis for inquiry, though, of
course, not as conclusive evidence.

HELD AN ALL-NIGHT SESSION
The Agricultural Land Rating Bill in the
House of Commons
Accusations by the Liberals Angrily
Resented by the Conservatives
-ClOsure Finally Ordered.

LONDON, June 30.-The house Of COM
mons sat throughout the night debating
the agricultural land rating bill, intended
to lessen the taxation on agricultural land.
The debate proceeded quietly until o'clock
in the morning. The government kept its
forces well in hand and IL sured a majority
of over 80.
After midnight the excitement increased
as the different clauses were carried under
the closure rule. The liberal leader, Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, denounced the
methods which the conservative leader.
Mr.. Balfour, was adopting in order to ex-
tricate the government from the mess into
which it had fallen through making too
many election promises and overweighting
itself with important bills, which, like the
education dill, recently skelved for repairs,
1t has been unable to carry, in spite of Its
overwhelming majority. fact for which
the leadership of Mr.. Balfour has been
greatly blamed.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor of
the eXchequer, angrily retorted that the
opposition was the most factious ever seen.
and asserted that its tactics We're rapidly
reducing parliamentary proceedings to lit
tie more than farce.
Mr.. James H. Dalziel, liberal. accused
Lord Hugh Cecil. conservative tfifth son of
the Marquis of Salisbury, of deliberate and
organized interference with the debate.
The speaker was appealed to, but he de-
clined to interfere beyond exhorting the
members to be more orderly during debate.
A little later Mr.. Dalzicl characterized
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach's speech as being
''impertinent," whereupon there We're cries
of withdraw"
The speaker suggested that Mr.. Dalziel
had not intended to be offensive in his re-
mark. and. after some more skirmishing
another clause of the bill was closured.
This brought forth another storm of de-
risive shouts from the opposition, and DIR.
c. X. d. Tanner. Irish nationalist, was
heard to shout Gag
For this the doctor was warned from the
chair.
Mr.. Chamberlain, colonial secretary, did
not remain through the night, but took his
departure after the first division, leaving
Mr.. Balfour to conduct the struggle on be-
half of the ministry, with such help as he
could get from Chaplin, president of the
local government board, and other mem
bers of the government. Sir VIM. Vernon
Harcourt was one of the last to leave the
chamber.
The bill was finally reported to the house
at about o'clock, and the third reading
was fixed for tomorrow.

sLLyERITEs IN MARYLAND.
Statements by Delegates to the Chi
caSO Convention.

Statements by Delegates to the Chi
cagO Convention.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, June 30.-The Mary
land delegation to the Chicago convention
met at the Carrollton shortly after noon
today to effect final arrangements for their
journey. A number of prominent demo-
Gratis, including Senator Gorman Col. Victor
Baughman, Representative Fred. Talbot
and others were on hand, and, prior to the
meeting of the delegates, the party situa-
ton was thoroughly discussed.
The steady growth Of silver sentiment
since the state convention is subject of
general amazement and concern to the
sound money element, and the expressions
of number of the delegates today Indicate
that when Maryland answers the roll call
at the convention a surprising detection
from the gold ranks Is more than possible
-Four of the delegates, MeSSrs. Pattison and
Lewis of the first district, and Clagett and
Jones of the fifth, are avowedly silver men,
and the indications point toward a substan-
tial gain Of others who are now on the
fence.
Senator Crothers of Cecil county told The
Star correspondent that he was astounded
to ses the stre1 9Th of the free coinage
elemeat in bis county. He said Mum
bers Of republicans are now ip1bued with
the silver sentiment, and 1 should not be
in the least surprised to see big detection
from their ranks in the fall. The county
has been flooded with free coinage litera-
ture, v hich the farmers read and regard
as Gospel; in fact, no statements are too
extravagant to find some believers, and
had the silver men realized their strength
they could have easily dominated the re-
cent state convention"
Delegate Jones of Calvert said that nine
out of every ten voters In his county were
silver men, regardless of party affiliations
Delegate Clagett of Prince Georges is
ar enthusiastic silverite, and looks for a
triumphant democratic victory On that is
sue in the fall. There is some talk of
bringing Mr.. Clagett forward as a con-
testant for the democratic congressional
