sertatives with whom Tribune reporter talked
last night while none would admit any per-
sonal knowledge that such visit had taken

al conveyed the impression that the afrair was
4 delicate if not a forbidden topic
"T have nothing 10 say sir. Good evening"
was The replv of William Allen Butler. jr. Of
the firm. when asked If it were true that Mrs
Chadwick had visited the offices
Mr. JoIiDe did not see her and knows nothing
Of her affairs. was the response made on be-
half Of Adrian H. Jone.
Il have no knowledge whether she was there
or not" said third member of the firm, who
asked that his name be withheld.
According to Edmund NJ. Powers, of her New
York counsel. Mrs. Chadwick will issue state
Inent to-day telling Of her antecedents, proving
that she has never been mistaken for any one
else and that she has never had any transaC-
lions with Mr.. Carnegie.
Despite the further adjournment OF the pro-
ceedings In Cleveland until to-day and the in
dlcati0ns that Mrs. Chadwick was preparing 10
leave this city the same day; despite the opti
ulistic announcements Of counsel on both sides
that Mrs. Chadwick would make an actual sat
Isfactory settlement of Mr.. Newton's claims
within forty-eisht hours, such settlement. 1t
was learned by The Tribune had been made
up 10 a late hour last night. None the less,
counsel on both sides freely declared they were
satisfied that Mrs. Chadwick was not only fully
able TO meet the claims. but purposed promptly
10 do so.
Contrary To the reports no money has been
paid over yet Mr. Ryall said late in the even
ing, and the published statements as to the
basis OF settlement wholly incorrect. We
have no doubt, however. that Mr.. Newton will
receive large sum of cash from Mrs. Chad
wick at almost any hour"
Edmund NJ. Powers of counsel for Mrs
Chadwick said the reporter, asserts that Mr.
Aewtons Immediate claim has been reduced
from S192. 800 TO $4,000 cash. He says that
bIr. Newton VIII receive only that sum; that of
81, cfs-O
'bonuses.' and that two further notes of $4,000
each do not mature for year. and that Mr..
Newton has legal claim TO collect it at this
Zine He adds that $4,000 cash is the basis
OF the settlement and has been widely quoted TO
this effect"
"If Mr. Powers says that" replied Mr.. Ryan,
she has been nisinformed. It certainly is not
50. What the basis is. however. cannot now
Say
''You can only state we are satisfied that
Mrs. Chadwick has not only the means to meet
our claims but that she purposes to do So
Mr.. RyalI denied that the $50 1000 referred TO
represented bonuses. The settlement" he said
Is on our full claim of S192,S00." --.,.
It is understood that Mrs Chadwick has
agreed to take care Of" certain paper Endorsed
by Mr. Newton, and so relieve him of response
b!lity, and that this paper was included in his
claim.
Mr.. Powers optimistic over Mrs. Chad
~ick's power 10 extricate herself from the fnan-
ciaI maze. He declared that although she had
paid over s. 100000 TO her husband some time
ago. she had not only enough to meet her pres

some 100000, but possessed a cool 81, 900 900

only $4,000 at this time. The balance is esti-
mated. with certain interest, at $4,000 and

not believe that Mr.. Newton could have forced
