Denial of the Motion to Dismiss Al
legged Mail SsvindIers.
The trial of John A. Grow, jr.. and AL
gernon Granville, who are charged with
using the United States mails for fraudu-
lent purposes, was resumed today in Grim
inal Court, No. 2. before Justice Bradley.
The testimony for the Government was
all in shortly before the recess hour, and
counsel for the defence moved that the
court take the case from the jury, because
of the insufficiency Of the evidence to sus-
tain the allegations in the indictment. The
court overruled the motion.
Attorney John A. Grow, Of New York,
who represented his son, John A. Grow,
jr., then made statement to the jury Of
what was expected to be proven on behalf
of his client. He said that it would be
shown that, his son, John A. Grow, jr.,
acted simply in clerical capacity, in the
whole transaction. That it was his inten-
tion to return to New York on the Satur-
day before the Tuesday, on which he was
arrested, but was induced to remain until
''Dr. Evans came on from New York.
Mr.. Grow also stated that his client came
to Washington to work in the telephone
business: that he was well known to the
police here, having been classmate with
the inspector of police at Columbian Col
lege, and that in his connection with the
drug business at No. 719 Seventh Street
northwest. he was not known by any other
name than his own, John A. Grow. jr.
The defendant, Grow, then took the wit
ness stand in his own defence. His evil
dence was practically a confederation of
the statement made by his counsel.

A false impression has been created by
the report that the military and naval del
egates will not sit as full members Of the
Conference. This report has given rise to
a rumor that Captain Mahan is merely a
naval attache to the delegation. All OF the
six American delegates nave precisely the
same functions and equally represent the
United States.
There are not more thai six delegates
accredited to the Conference VINO have not
yet arrived. Nearly all of the delegates
spent the forenoon in exchanging calls. A
brief exchange of views at these meetings
confirmed the opinion of probably ma
jority Of the delegates that the scope OF
the present operations OF the Conference
will be confined to broad debate, largely
upon academic lines, upon certain subjects
which will be referred to international
committees and that the Conference will
adjourn to meet again in 1900, perhaps In

There was considerable liquidation any

The most pronounced advances in the
