Sweeney, Ve ANOTHER INVESTIGATION Into the Responsibility of Col. F.C. Ains- worth, THE COURT OF INQUIRY WILL BEGIN TAKING TESTIMONY TOMORKOW—GOSSIP ABOUT THE PROBABILITY OF THE SUSPENSION OF COL, AINsWoxTH, The army court of inquiry in the case of Col. Ainsworth will probably mect at the War Department Thureday for the purpose of or- ganizing and beginning the taking of testi- mony. The actual time of the assembling of the court will depend altogether upon the wishes of Secretary Lamont, He will return here tonight from New York. The members of the court desire to coneult him before beginning the in- Yestigation. It is known to be the wish of the court to begin this investigation as soon as practicable, and it is not at all likely that Secretary Lxmont will interfere in any way with its progress. His return is not at all es sential to the assembling of the court, but some of the menbers deem it proper to consult his | wishes in the matter before entering actively upon the investigation. of the court will be open to all interested per- sons and will probably be completed in four or five days. The plan of procednreand the hst of witnesses tobe examined have been practically arranged. ‘cers ridicule the report of a possible conflict of authority between the military and ivil authorities in future proceedings against Coi. Ainsworth. There is nowhe any doubt as to the supremacy of the civil authorities in | dealing with this case,and it is the height of folly to suppose that the War Department will do anything to embarrass or interfere with the course of justice as admin- istered by the civil courts. The proceedings of the court of inquiry will be at all times subor- dinated to the proceedings of the civil tribunal, and the same will be trac in the possible event of Col. Ainsworth’s trial by court-martial. AS TO COL. AIN#WORTH'S SUSPENSION, It ix said at the War Department that it is not likely that Col. Ainsworth will be suspended from office as a result of the action of the cor- oner’s jury. This impression is founded on the fact that the court of inquiry was appointed for the express purpose of determining Col. Ainsworth’s responsibility for the accident. According to this view his sus- pension from duty will depend on the finding of this court, Itis possible, however, that tho President may conclude to suspend bim without awaiting the result of the preliminary wilitary investi- gatiou, but In the absence of Secretary Lamont it is impossibie to obtain official information on | this subject. ete DECLINED TO ACT. ‘This Government Will Not Arbitrate Be- tween Siam and France. The United States government, through Sec- retary Gresham, has declined to act as arbitra- tor for the governments of France and Siam in the dispute between those countries as to juris- diction over certain territory near Siam. The intervention of this government in this contro- versy was requested by the government of Siam through its charge d'affaires at this capi- that the issue was one in which we have little interest and lees knowledge, and also because it is one that could much better be settled by some of the European or Asiatic governments. It is said that Secretary Gresham was influenced in his action in this diplomatic controversy by a re- port that Great Brit rf | countries had previousiy declined to accept the same responsibiiity, and ulso because of in- formation that the so-called Sinmese logation in this city was established solely for the pur- pose of interesting this government in the boundary dispute with France. ee Interior Department Changes. The following official changes have been made in the Department of the Interior: Oftice of Indian affairs—Appointment: Robt. A. Cockran of Ilineis, confidential clerk to the commissioner, $1,000. General land oftice—Appointments: John B. loz California, special agent to examine survers, $5 a day; Morris Bien of California and Cuas. H.

Visit of Italian Naval Cadets, Over 300 Italian naval cadets are to visit New York this summer. The Italian naval school is at Leghorn. ‘The cadets will embark in a squadron devoted entirely to practice work, and on arriving in New York they will be sent in details and in charge of officers to the world’s fair at, Chicago. The United States Academy, it is announced, will be visited by the Italian squadron before returning to Leg- horn. It is fourteen years ago that a trip acrozs the Atlantic was made by embryo offi- cers of the Italian navy. Marriage Licenses.

Ainsworth, Supt. Covert and Engineer Sasse in Court. THEIR SURETIES ACCEPTED. This morning three of the four men whom the coroner's jury found responsible for the death of Frederick B. Loftus and others in the Ford’s Theater calamity appeared in the Crimi- nal Court and gave bail in the sum of 810.000 each to answer the charge of manslaughter. They were Col. Ainsworth, Engineer Sasse and Supt. W. E. Covert, The fourth man, Contractor George W. Dant, is still confined to his house asa result of nervous Pprostration growing out of the disaster and the part that he took in it. He was unable to ap- pear and his attorney was not present either, The three men named surrendered volun- tarily before the papers in the case could be served upon them. Last evening, soon after the coroner's jury had rendered its verdict, Col. Ainsworth appeared at the court with his attorney, Mr. R. Ross Perry, prepared to give bail. Thecourt had already adjourned, but Col. Ainsworth urged that come- thing be done in the matter. After a consulta- tion between Mr. Perry und District Attorney Birney it was decided to accept his bail to the amount of $5,000, as this sum was fatisfactory to Mr. Birney under the circumstances, ‘This action in the matter was hardly regular, and this morning Clerk Wilhams of tho Crim- inal Court stated that he had no record of the bond regularly before him, so it was decided to give new bail in the case. WHEN THE COURT OPENED. When the Criminal Court, Judge McComas on the bench, opened this morning at 10 o'clock. Col. Ainsworth and Mossrs, Covert and Sasse were already in the court room ready to go ahead with the case. As soon as the court had been formally opened Mr. Perry rose and addressing the bench said: “May it please your honor, I am here ready to give bail in the matter of the Ford's Theater disaster. ‘Tho coroner's inques four men, Of these Col Ainsworth ap- peared here iast evening after the adjournment of the court and gave bail for his appearance whenever wanted. are- ties, Messrs. Peter _F. Bacon and Henry C, Me- Cauley, qualified in the sum of $5,000. I am now ready to give bail in the cases of Messrs, Covert and Sasse, I would suggest that the sum of $5,000 is sufficient in all the ca District Attorney Birney said that his honor probably understood the nature of the charges. ‘n view of their serious character, therefore, he submit that double the would respectfull amount cuagwsied would ‘be store eultabie ‘THE AMOUNT OF BAIL. Judge McComas spent a few moments in looking over a copy of the findings of the coroner's jury and then announced that he thought tnt $10,000 would not be excessive “It would not be in the case of Col. ins worth,” said Mr. Perry. ‘He stands ready to ive bail to the amount of 3100,000 if neceesary. in view of the remarks your honor has made it would hardly be proper for me to suggest any amount, bat I may be allowed to say thnt it might be rather ditticult for Mr. Covert and Mr. Sasse to secure such a large bail.” Judge McComas said that he must insist on t has inculpated = that figure, but that he would give the men ail | reasonable time to secure bail. In view of the fact that Col. Ainsworth’s sureties were not resent, he thought it would be better if anew ond were given. Mr. R. J. Wynne, a well-known newspaper man and formerly private secretary to Secre- tary Chas. Foster, was then summoned to go bail for Col. Ainsworth. He had been sitting with Col. Ainsworth in the rear of the court room during these preliminaries, and at once stepped up to the clerk's dosk. He was sworn and stated that he wns the owner of 000 worth of unincumbered real estate. was satisfactory to the judge and the dis- trict attorney, and he was bound over to see that Col. Ainsworth should appear whenever he was wanted. SURETIES FOR COVERT AND sAssr. An bondsmen for Mr. Covert, Mr. Perry pre- sonted two clerks from the record and pension burean of the surgeon general's office, Mr. Jeremiah Imbrie, 925 T street, who was chief of the secoud floor in the old Ford's Theater building, and Mr. Ernest Schmid, 1536 9th streot. Mr. Imbrie was one of the wit- nesses in the inquest and was the man who testified that the rules of the oftice were not unduly oppressive, and that tie rola- tions between the clerks and Gol. Ainsworth were of s pleasanter eharacter than any other witness had admitted them to be. The real estate holdings of thoso two men aggrogated more than €30,000, and they were accepted ns factory sure! Meyer Loeb, who testified that he owned 2100.000 worth of real estate with incam- brances which emounted to not one-half of that sum, was accepted as surety for Mr. Francis Basse. ‘THE PROCEEDINGS BRIEF. The proceedings in court this morning wero quite brief, end as soon as Mr. Sasse’s surety had qualitied all the principals in this impor- tant case left the court room. There was not an unusual crowd present and there were no scenes of any moment. The grand jury, to whose attention the case will next be brought, is in continuous session now, and it with the district att us ‘to when they will take it up. Of the three men present this morning Mr. Covert seemed to show the most signs of feeling and worry at his position. He looked rather worn and tired as compared with his appearance when he was be- fore the coroner's jury last week. The men and their attorneys have refused to discuss the matter at all,on the ground that there was nothing to say about it. — IN A CRITICAL CONDITION. . Capt. Miller, Who Was Injured in the Ford’s Theater Disaster, Near Death’s Door. Capt. J. A. Miller, one of the clerks who were injured in the Ford Theater disaster, is lying desperately ill at the residence of his son-in- law, Mr. U. H. Ridenour, 1611 O street, asa restilt of the injuries he received on that fatal Friday. Capt. Miller had both legs fractured and received severe internal injuries besides. For two days he was unconscious, day he has been extremely nervou casionally flighty.

CLEVELAND GONE. Her Departure This Morning for Gray len. SHE MAKES THE JOURNEY IN A PRIVATE CAR EXPECTED TO RETURN IN SEPTEMBER. Mrs. Cleveland left this morning for her summer home, Gray Gables, Buzzard’s Bay, Massachusetts. The President did not accom- pany her, as he found it impossible, with the press of ofticial duties, to commence his vaca- tion at this time, but, as announced in Tae Srar last week, hopes to join his family before the 4th of July, and to spend most of that month and August with them, ‘The train upon which Mrs. Cleveland was a passenger was the regular Pennsylvania, 9:40 express for New York. She traveled in Vice President Thomson's private car, and it was the last in the make-up of the train. It was ready for her occupation far in advance of the rest of the train, but she did not reach the Baltimore and Potomac depot until 9:35, and consequently walked through the station to the train, just as did the couple of hundred other people who were to take the train. Mrs. Cleveinnd hurried ncross the platform, through another gate, near the one through which the rest of her fellow travelers had to stop and show their tickets, and was aboard her car before scarcely any one had recognized her, except the train officials who were on hand to bid her welcome. BABY RUT AND HER ATTENDANTS With Mrs, Cleveland were Nurse Annie and Baby Ruth. Aboard the car Mrs. Cleveland re- treated from observation and busied herself with getting settled for her long ride. ‘The nurse and Beby Ruth had the drawing room, with its big observation windows, all to them- selves as the train pulled out of the station. ‘Mra, Cleveland's traveling dress was a new dark blue serge, made with full skirt. A shirt waist of white lawn, dotted with biue, blue rivbon belt with afancy buckio, and a dark blue straw bat, trimmed with blue ribbons and dark blue quills, were the finishing touches. She carried a jacket to maich her skirt. Baby Ruth had one of her simplest white muslin frocks on and a white lace cap. She Jooks a little thin and delicate and not near so rory as she did n raonth ago. The warm weather has not agreed with her very weil, and hence Mrs. Cleveland's anxiety to get her off to a cooler climate. Irs. Cleveland tovk six or seven servants with her. The men, headed by the White House nteward, St. Clair, had their arms full of small chairs, push wagons and other parapher- nalia, representing Miss Ruth Cleveland's ‘of happiness when the winds blow over the rock-bound coast of Buzzard's Bay—big bngs and little ones, baskets and hampers, and | an immense varicty of other articles.

It is understood that Mrs. Cleveland will re- turn here early in September. Her mother, Mrs. Perrine, will soon make her a visit at Gray Gabies, and it is not unlikely that some of the cabinet members and their wives will visit there also after the President gets there for his summer outin, How the Discipline of the Official Force Wil Be Maintained.

In the first stages of the case Mr. Pulaski appeared to have somewhat the best of the case, but his hopes and those who pinned their faith in the case were dashed to the ground by Judge Bradley's decision of this morning, when he dismissed the petition for the prayed-for mandamus. The facts in the case are fully set out in the decision, which is as follows: Full Text of the Decision. ‘The petition in this matter shows that the re- lator was duly examined under the civil service rules for the position of “substitute letter car- rier,” and in August, 1892, his name was duly placed upon the list of those who, having passed the required examination, are eligible for ap- pointment: that on the 28d day of January, 1893, Henry Sherwood, the postmaster of the city of Washington, made requisition upon the civil service board of examiners for the certifi- cation to him of the names of three persons from the list of eligibles for appointment aa substitute letter carriers, and that petitioner was selected from that list, with another, and upon the 2d of March, 1893, he received from the postmaster notice of his appointment; that he purchased uniform, gave bond and entered upon the performance of his duties, which he in every respect performed satisfactorily until unlawfally ordered by the postmaster to stop work April 13, 1898; that the postmaster under the unlawful direction of the Postmaster Gen- eral, and under the unlawful instrnctions of the civil service commission, dismissed him; that he was ousted of hi: office by the failure of the postmuster, the Postmaster General and the civil service commission to perform their legal duty under the act of Congress; that he had applied to the postmaster and Postmaster one been refused, and he prays fer a writ of man- damus against each of said parties, A demurrer was filed. and the matter was Presented upon a partial argument of such de- murrer. The demurrer was overruled and the partion required to make return, all questions of Isw being expressly reserved, the court merely hoiding that there was enough in the petition to justify the rule to show cause. Each party has made return, the rule to show cause was by stipulation of counsel egreed to be taken as the alternative writ and the matter was thereupon heard upon the motion of the relator to quash the returns. By the motion to quash the facts set out in the returns are con- ceded, and the question now is whether upon those facts and the undisputed averments of the petition the relator is entitled to the writ prayed. THE FACTS REWEARSED. By the returns it appears that on January 23, 1893, the postmaster had three vacancies to fill among the substitute letter carriers, and that thereupon he drew his requisiton upon the secretary of the board of examiners for names from which to make selections; that a list of three names was sent him, from which be se- lected two, and thereupon called for another list of three names from which to select a third; that such list was farnished bim, which con- tained the names of the relator and of one Gerhanser; that on the same day both lists | wore furnished, and the postmaster notified the secretary of the board of examiners that he hand selected Gerhauser from the last certifi- | which notification was duly —_reported | by euch secretary to the civil. cer- vice commission, and was by it duly recorded, that prior to the’ appointment of the relator, | and after his name had been certified upon the list to the postmaster, on the 7th day of Feb- ruar} | com tive examination, ia which forty-two lator and under the law were entitled to prefer- ence over relator in certification; that after the | relator was dropped his place and other vacan- cies were filled from certified lists of persons entitled to priority over him: that when the postmaster notified the secretary of the board ‘of examiners that he had selected Gerhauser from the list containing the name of the relator, ail rights under thecertification wereexhausted, and the Postmaster General or the postmaster had [no right to make any farther appointment without a new hor poor! and certification, because of the civil service rnlos ard regula tions, and because of the right of other eligibles under the law which had intervened. It denied by tho returns that the relator wa selected from the certified list, and it is denied that notice of such selection was given to the commission, but the report of tho portmaster of changes in his office during the month of March, 1899, disclosed this irregular appoint- ment of the relator, of which irregularity the commission notified the postmaster April 11, 1893, and thereupon, and because of such ir- regularity, the relator was dropped from the rolis by the postmaster. ERROR IN NoTiFfcaTi0N, By the record it appears that on January 23, 1893, there were threo vacancies to be filled by the postmaster, and that he filled them from names selected from two successive lists fur- nished him by the board of examiners on that | day; that later, on March 2. 1893, the relator, whose name was one of the three upon the last list),-vas appointed, and that the civil service commission was first advised of the appoint- ment by the report of the postmaster to the commission of chagnes made in his office dur- ing March, 1893. It is insisted by the respond- ents that by a civil service regulation it was the duty of the postmaster to give notice of his selections for appointment within three days after the certification to itim of the list of names; that when be reported the selec tion of Gerbauser alone from the list containing the name of the relator, that hist became exhausted, and thatus matter of jaw the postmaster could not appoint the re- lator without and unless he obtained a now list of names of eligibles from the board of examiners containing that name. The reintor insists that a list con‘aining his name having j been certified to the postmaster, that officer seted within the law when he appointed him, and that he was under no necessity of making requisition for a new list. ‘The civil service law is made up partly of direct enactment by Congress, and partly of rules authorized by the act of January 16, 1883, to be promulgated by the President of the United States. By this same act it is made the duty of the civil service commissioners to aid the President im preparing suitable rules for carrying the act into effect. and it is made the duty of all officers of the United States in the departments and officex to wh.ch the rules re- late to aid in carrying them into effect.

No other statutory authority to the commission to make regulations exists in this act. Rules were prepared by the civil service commission and duly promulgated by President.

Government OMicials In the Paget Sound District Removed. SAID TO HAVE BEEN INTERESTED WITH PRIVATE PARTIES IX SMUGGLING CHINESE AND OPIUx— WHAT NEW SPECIAL AGENTS HAVE DISCOVERED —THE SUCCESSORS TO THE DISMISSED OFFICERS. The oficial heads of Patrick H. Winston, United States attorney; Thomas R. Brown, United States marshal; Andrew Wasson, United States collector at Port Townsend; ©. J. Mulkey, United States special agent, and six special inspectors of customs in the Puget Sound district, allm the state of Washington, have fallen into the official hopper as the re- sult of reports made to Secretary Carlisle by Special Treasury Agents Wood and Lewis, These reports are numerous and circum- stantial as to detnils, and tell the story of one of the most extensive and successful conspira. cies ever formed to smuggle Chinese and opium into the United States across the far north- western boundary. There has been hardly a day for the past two months that reports or telegrams have not been received at the Treasury Department from Agents Wood and Lewis, and on these reports —_offi- cials of the Treasury Department have been summarily dismissed. ‘Tho last batch of disminsals of customs was made on Saturday, but Secretary Carli thinks the end of justice say be defeated by making public their names, officials, it is charged by the reports reocived, have been doing a wholesale for several years, in connection with private parties in Victoria, B.

Uninfluenced by local surroundings or afiiliations, they went to work and unearthed what is regarded here as one of the greatest conspiracies in which officials were ever implicated. Not to defeat the continuance of the mvestigation, all the prominent government officials named were removed by the President and their suc- cessors appointed without the usual announce- ments being made. The purpose was to keep the public in net that get implicated persons might be caught. new men Dointed in the place of those removed were: James L. Saunders, collector at Port Town- send; James C. Drake, United States marshal; W. H. Brinker, United States attorney. Other removals are yet to come, and the matter in due course of time will find its way into the courts. ee A SUBMARINE TORPEDO RUAT. Bids Opened for Its Construction at the Navy Department Today. Congress, at its Inst session, made an appro- pristion of $200,000 for = submarine torpedo boat for the navy. The Navy Department in- vited proposals for the construction of such a vessel within the appropriation, and they were opened at the Navy Department today. The primary object of the proposed craft is to-run submerged under torpedo nets, around the sides of ships, fita torpedo to the bottom, set | it off and disappear before Leing discovered. The general design of the vessel is left en- tirely to the contractor and only general re- quirements in her construction are demanded by the department. ‘The most important of these requirements are safety, certainty of action when submerged, endurance, both sub- merged and on the surface, speed when on the top of the waterand means for the visibilit by the helmsman of the object to be sence | Great reserve of buoyancy is required so as to should her machinery break down suffer any accident that might | lives of those or the boat the Plenty of air is to be provided to Inst during the maximum submerg- | ence of the boat and every danger of possible | accident is to be provided against as far as skill | Sudconstruction ail.

Awaiting a Verdict in the Borden Case, ——— DISTRICT ATTORNEY KNOWLTON'S PLEA —— It is Believed That He Has the Best of the Argument. MISTAKE OF THE DEFENSE. Judge Dewey Delivers the Charge to the Jury. a FAVORABLE FOR THE DEFENSE. The Famous Case Ended and a Verdict Awaited. Special Disratch to The Evenine Star New Bepronp, Mass, June 20.—Distriet Attorney Knowlton, who resomed his plea for the conviction of Lizzio Borden at 9 o'clock this morning, is making a great epeech and as he proceeds more and more of those who have looked for a sure acquittal are becoming pre- pared to ree a disagreement of the jury. Very few outside of those connected with the state's case look for a conviction. Af by any chance conviction is secured it will be on the charge of murdering Mrs. Bor- den, not the father. There is no doubt that the strte has always relied more on its “exclusive opportunity” theory with reference to the killing of Mra Borden than of Mr. Borden, though they have said very little about it, Indeed, it becomes apparent from Mr, argument that the state has adopted the strategy of concentrating its ire upon the murder of the father, and thereby directed the force of the defense to that point, leaving the charge contained in the first indict- ment almost unrefuted save by the denial of the prisoner. On the testimony of Lizzie a under of the step- mother much more serious than that of killing ‘the father. He bas the sympathy of many of the jury possibly all. Bat he failed to take adi some appenis that could not but bave failed to move the jury, independent of calling or vooa- tion.

Gov. Robinson's plea did not move the heart as it ought to have dune, xs the plea of Mr, Jennings cbrtainly did at the preliminary hear ing in Fall River. District Attorney Knowiton’s plea appealed to the jury not as farmers, but as men. Ne grace of xpecch, no ornament of oratory was considered too good for these, the farmers of Bristol county, with whom the eloquent dis trict attorney has lived for fifty years. It is possible that he knows better than the advocate for the defense, and that beneath their rustic exterior he sees the native appreciation of oratory. native to those whose readers were made up of extracts from the speeches of Webster and Choate, Put- rick Henry and William Wirt. The measure of the effectiveness of these two methods can best be read in the verdict. If there is a disagreement Mr. Knowlton will be entitled to the credit of having used the slender threads of evidence left the state case acquittal Governor i accredited with having sacrificed the unity of making such a specch as he is for the sake of winning the case for his client in homelier fashion, and if conviction, remote contingency ns is believed, it will be @ victory for the inexorable circurmstances that hedged in the accused girl. No man will wear the laurel or care to wear it, ‘The fact that Judge Dewer charged the Jury is believed to be a fact favorabie to the defense, ‘District Attorney Moody said at the breakfast table this morning: “Judge Dewey is the best man who could charge « jury for the defense, Areasonable doubt in his eyes is as big as @ THE JURY MAS THE CASE. So the famous case goes to the jury and the whole country wants to hear the verdict, ‘The suspense in the case of the accused girl is terrible.
