would soon recover and be strong again Her
family and her husband knew the bitter truth,
but did not tell her.
Both the Young people belong To we'll known

GORM4N'S SUCCESS IN MARYLAND.
HIS DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL. PASSES THE
HOUSE AND rs ADVANCED IN
THE SENATE.

Annapolis. Md, March H. (SpeciaD.-The cleo
tion bill to disfranchise more than twenty thou
sand negroes and assure the Democrats control
of the next legislature and Arthur Pue Cor
mans return TO the United States Senate. passed
the House to-day and was advanced TO second
reading in the Senate. Only one Republican,
Walbach. of Charles County representing the
"black belt" was permitted TO speak against
the bill in the House. although twelve Democrats
voted against the Democratic leaders demand
for the previous question TO cut off debate. Two
of them Sandford and Choate-declared that
they were in favor of full and fair discussion and
opposed to "any gag rule"
Mr.. Wilkinson. the German manager on the
floor said the hill was Of partisan character;
no Republican was expected to vote for 1t and
no Democrat should vote against it. Six Demo-
crats-Pattison. Garner. Roberts Lakin. Keys
and Buckley y-however. refused to obey the whip
and voted with the Republicans against the bill.
which passed by vote of 10 To -.
Senators PutzeI and Dick were the principal
speakers for the Republicans when the bill
came up in the Senate. They ffayed Cor
man and riddled the bill Senator PutzeI quoted
numerous authorities which will be used when
the Republicans carry the bill to the courts to
prove that the legislature has not authority TO
pass law limiting the right of franchise guar
anteed TO citizens by the constitution OF the
State.
The German managers made deal with
Mavor Hayes to pass an enabling act for the
Iatter's I2OOo.0t0 sewerage scheme for Balti-
more providing the Mayor would influence his
friend Senator Bryan To vote for the election
bill The latter cannot be passed without
Rrvans vcte but, that secured the State man
ayers il Is said will make no effort to pass the
Nayor's bill as II is feared il would give Hayes
mower to build up big political machine.
The Democratic managers are worried tonight
over tn, attitude of Senator Applegarth. OF
Dorchester County. The sentiment in his county
among the Democrats is against disfranchise-
ment of all illiterates. and to-day Pattison, of
the same county. in the House voted against the
bill Applegarth is the leader of one Democratic
faction in his county and Pattison heads the
other. Pattison has yielded to the sentiment of
constituents. The question now is, VIII Apple
garth follow suit? Upon his vote depends the
fate of the bill, as the managers tonight re-
ceiVed word from Philadelphia, where Senator
Clagett of Prince Georges. is III in a hospital
that he cannot he moved. and even cannot be
seen by others than members Of his family
German is reported TO be uneasy. One Demo
cratic vote in the Senate against the bill will
defeat it,

GILMAN FIGHT SETTLED.
MRS HALL TO RECEIVE PROPORTION
ATE SHARE or ESTATE
OPPOSING INTERESTS AGREE on DIVISION
IN EQUAL SHARES-TOTAL of ESTATE
NOT MORE THAN s2.5OOo0C.

The fight over the estate of George Francis
Gilman who made his money in the tea bust-
ness. was amicably settled yesterday hy an
agreement among the adverse interests, and
there will be no litigation over the final dispo-
stion of the property. This agreement was ar
rived at after several conferences of counsel for
the heirs of the full blood. those of the half
blood and Mrs. Blakely Hall. who had main
tained her first position that she the sole
heir to MIR. Gimans estate.
Frazier Gilman one of the half brothers. who
is staying at the Astor House, admitted last
night that final agreement had been reached.
He said that the time since his half brothers
death had been largely occupied in determining
the exact value of the disputed estate. both in
New-York and Connecticut. The investigation
had been carried on by the lawyers representing
each interest. and had resulted in the conclusion
that the whole estate. both real and personal,
aggregated S2,JOOOOO. 1t was found, he said.
that the property in this city which the late Mr..
Gilman owned was encountered with mortgages.
is the estate at Rlack Rock. Conn.
In view of the fact. therefore of the great de
crease in the supposed value of the estate. which
had been estimated running into the tens of
millions. it was thought advisable. and i'm the
best interest of all concerned. TO forestall any
litigation. Such litigation. Mr. Gilman said,
would result only in eating up the whole estate
in lawyers fees and costs of court, and there
would be nothing for any OF the heirs al the end
When it was found that the estate would not
reach total of more than S2.5OO.6H, and an
agreement among all Of the heirs, numbering
about twenty. and including Mrs. Hall, was
reached. it decided to reserve certain part
Of the money for the purpose of CARRYING on the
business of the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Com
pany and for paying costs Of administration IN
this state and in Connecticut.
This sum- Mr. Gilman said, is 70 be SIOoWH.
which. Il is believed, vii! 'c ample 10 carry on
the business. and to pay legitimate legal ex-
penseS. This amount will be deducted from the
total estate. and the remai aiuder-S2.oOo,W ,Wh-will
be divided among the heirs.
With regard To the standing of Mrs Hall in
the matter. Mr. Gilman said that she would
have exactly the same status as the others inter-
ested i'm the case She will give up her claim to
the Black Rock property, which will be turned
into the general fund for division when sold.
Mrs Hall not in this city yesterday, her
interests helnE looked out for the several con-
fereuCes held 10y her lawyer. T. = Hatch.

AMNESTY FOR BOER.S.
IMPORTANT STATEMENT BY THE LON
DON DAILY NEWS'-TRANSNAAL
TO BE CROWN COLONY.

London, March 13.-"The Daily News this
morning makes the following important state
ment:
We understand that the government has
greatly modified the unconditional surrender
policy. We believe Lord Kitchener has been
authorized TO offer amnesty to both the Beers
and the Boer leaders. except where treachery is
clearly proved. Cape rebels only are to be pun
ished by disfranChisement
Loans are to be granted to the Beers for re-
building and restocking their farms and finally
the government will offer TO establish some kind
of civil government so soon as all the COM
ma ndoes have surrendered
Its form will probably he that of crown
colony. but with important concession, Whlcn
Sir Alfred Milner advises namely a council, in
Guiding Beers OF position like General Botha
General Lucas Meyer and Mr.. Schalk- Burger.
