There is nowhere 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 true in the possible event of Col. Ainsworth’s trial by court-martial. AS TO COL. AIN®WORTH'S SUSPENSION. ‘tis 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 expross purpoxe of determining Col. Ainsworth’s responsibility for the accident.

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 $10,000 exch 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 prostration growing out of the disaster and the part that he tock in it, He was unable to ap- pear and his attorney was not present either. ‘The three men named surrendered yolun- 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. I. Ross Perry, prepared io give bail. ‘The court had already adjourned, but Col. Ainsworth urged that some- thing be done in the matter. After a cousulta- tion between Mr. Perry and District Attorney Birney it was decided to accept his bail to the amount of 5,000, as this sum was ratisfactory to Mr. Birney under the circumstances. ‘This action in the matter was hardly regular, and this morning Clerk Williams of the Crim- inal Court stated that he had no record of the bond regularly before him, éo it was decided to give new bail in the case.— WHEN THE COURT OPENED. When the Criminal Court, Jadge McComas on the bench, opened this morning at 16 o'clock, Col. Ainsworth and Mesers, 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: fay it please your honor, I am here ready bail in the matter of the Ford's Theater disaster. ‘The coroner's inquest has inculpated four men. Of these Col. Ainsworth ap- peared here last evening after the adjournment of the court and gave bail for his appearance whenever wanted. His sure- 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 casos of Messrs. Covert and Sasse, I would suggest that the sum of 25,000 is sufficient in all the cases.” District Attorney Birner said that his honor robably understood the nature of the charges. In view of their serious character, therefore, ae would respectfully submit that double ‘the amount suggested would bea more suitable bail. 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 that @10,000 would not be excessive. “It would not be m the case of Col. Ains- worth,” said Mr. Perry, ‘He stands ready to give batl to the amoant of @100,000f necoesars: in view of the remarks your honor bas made it would hardly be proper for me to suggest any amount, but I may be allowed to say that it might be rather difficult for Mr. Covert aud Mr, Sasse to secure such a large bail. ‘Indge McComas said that he must insist on that figure, but that he would give the men all reasonable time to secure bail. In view of the fact that Col. Ainsworth’s surcties were not Prsegit be thought it wonld be better if’ a new ond were given. Mr. R. J. Wynne, s well-known newspaper man and formerly private secretary to Secre- tary Chas. Foster, was then summoned to go Dail 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 desk. ile was sworn and stated that he was the owner of £20,000 worth of unincumbered real estate. ‘This was satisfactory to the judge and the dis- trict attorney, and he was bound to see that Col. Ainsworth should appear whenever he was wanted. ETIES FOR COVERT AND sAsse. As bondsmen for Mr. Covert, Mr. Perry pre- sented two clerks from the record and pension bureau of the surgeon general's office, Mr. Jeremiah Imbrie, 925 I streot, who was chief of the second floor in the old Ford's Theater building, .and Mr. Ernest Schmid, 9th strect. Mr. Imbrie was one of the wit nesses in the inquest and was the man who testified that the rules of the vttice were not unduly oppressive, and that the rela~ | tions between the clerks and Col. Ainsworth wore of a pieasanter éharacter than any other witness had admitted them to be. The real estate holdings of these two men aggregated more than 230,000, and they were accepted as satisfactory sure Meyer Locb, who testified that he owned $100,000 worth of real estate with incum- brances which amounted to not one-half of that sum, was accepted as surety for Mr. Francis ‘THE PROCEEDINGS BRIEF. ‘The proceedings in court this morning were quite brief, and as. soon as Mr. Sasse's surety had qualified 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 rests with the district attorney as to when they will take it up. Of the tnree men present thi# morning Mr. Covert scemed to show the most signs of feeling and worry at his position, He looked rather worn and tired us 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, now, and it Capt.

Very few outside of those connected with the state's cane look for a convict If by any chance a conviction is secured it great interest, not only here, but throughout the country. 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 case are fully set out in the decision, which is | | as follows: the prayed-for mandamus.

Bor- den, not the father. ‘There is no doubt that the state has always relied more on its “exclusive opportunity” theory with reference to the killing of Mrs, Borden than of Mr. Borden, though they have said very little about it. Indeed, it becomes epparent from Mr. Knowlton’s argument that the state has adopted the strategy of concentrating its fire 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 Cleveland's dreams of happiness when the winds blow over the rock-bound coast of Buzzard’s Bay—big bags and little ones, baskets and hampers, and an immense variety of other articles.

A demurrer was filed, and the matter was presented upon a partial argument of such de- murrer. The demurrer was overruled and the | parties required to make return, all questions | of law being expressly reserved, the court | merely holding that there wes enough in the petition to Justify the rule to show cause. Each party bas made return, the rule to show | cause was by stipulation of counsel agreed 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 REHEARSED. 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 examiuers for names | from which to make selections; that a list of three names was sent him, from which he se- lected two, and thereupon called for another Let of three names from which to select a third, that such list was furnished him, which con- tained the names of* the relator and of one | Gerhauser; that on the same day both lists | were furnished, and the postmaster notified the secretary of the board of examiners that he had selected Gerhauser from the last certifi- | cate and two other from the first certificate, | reported ver- | which notification was by such secretary to the civil vice commission, and was by it duly recorded, duly that prior to the a ot the relator, | iad been certified upon the list to the postmaster, on the 7th day of Feb- 1893, the board of examiners held a itive examination, in which forty-two | permns ‘obtained higher averages than the re- to ‘ere entitled to prefer- ence over relator in certification: that after the relator was dropped his place and other vacan- rss m the postmaster notified the secretary of the board ofexaminers that he had selected Gerhauser from me of the relator, all rights under the certification were exhausted, and. the Postmaster General or the postmaster had no right to make any further appointment uisition and certification, service rules and regula- tions, and because of the right of other eligibles under the law which had intervened.

ERKOR IN NOTIFICATION. By the record it appears that on January 23, 1893, there were three 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 Inter, on March 2. 1893, the relator, whose name war one of the three upon the last ),as appointed, and that the civil service commission was first advised of the appoint ment by the report of the commission of chaj ing March, 1893. ents it insisted by the respond. days after the certification to him of the list o! names; that tion of — Gerhauser one from lator without ‘examinezs containing that name. insists that alist con aining been certified to the poatm and requi jon 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, nt of the United States, ” By this name act it is made thi duty of the civil service commi the President in preparing suitable rulee ying the act in 2, first.)

The official heads of Patrick H. Winston, United States attorney; Thomas R. Brown, United States marshal; Andrew Wasson, United | States collector at Port Townsend; C. 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 cireum- stantial as to details, and tell the story of one of the most extensive and successful conspira- cies ever formed to «muggle 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 ment almost uurefuted save by the Genial of the prisoner. , On the testimony of Lizzie and Bridget the two murders were committed under entirely @ifferent circumstances. When Mra, Borden was killed it ie agreed that Lizzie was in the house and Bridget outside washing the windows, When Mr. Borden was killed Lizzio ways sho was in the barn and Bridget was in the attic, quite a different state of things, as is evident, and a condition of affairs which makes the charge respecting the murder of the step- mother much more serious than that of kulling the father. But those who have read the testimony will recall that almost all the efforts of the defense bas been directed to explain away the circ stances of the second crime and open doors for the exit of the assassin. Nothing has been ad- duced to show what Lizzie was doing when ber | mother was killed, nor why she failed to hear the chock of the murderer's attrck. District Attorney Knowlton was quick to take advantage of this loophole in the defense, He suid, “God forbid that anybody should hav. committed this murder, but somebody did, ‘Treasury Department from Agents Wood aud reports ofti- ‘Treasury Department dismissed. The last batch of dismixsuls of customs inspectors was made on Saturday, but Secretary Carlisle thinks the end of justice may be defeated by making public their names, ‘These officials, it is charged by the reports received, have been several in connection with private parties in Victoria, B.

(Sec. SCANDALS ATTACHED TO THE DISTRICT. Scandals for the past twelve or fifteen years have attached more or less to those officials in the Puget Sound district whose duty it was to guard against a violation of the law as to the illicit business of Chinese and opium smug- gling into the United States, Politics have never entered into it, but the immense proiit in the business seems to have corrupted many officials. More than two months ago Agents Wood and Lewis, new men from the east, were detailed to ; | secretiy investigate these alleged frauds, with | the result as stated. Unintluenced by local surroundings or affiliations, they went to work and unearthed what is regarded here as one of the greatest conspiracies im which government officials were ever implicated. Not to defeat the continuance of the imvestigation, all the prominent government officials named were removed by the President and their suc- cessor cppointed withont the usual aunounce- ments being made. The purpose was to keep the public in ignorance that other implicated persons might be caught. The new men ap- pointed 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 ite way into the courts, es A SUBMARINE TORPEDO BOAT. Bids Opened for Its Construction at the vy Department Today. Congress, at its Inst session, made an appro- printion of $200,000 for a submarine torpedo Doat 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, fit a 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 #ub- merged and on the surface, «peed when on the top of the waterand means for the visibility by the helmsman of the object to be attacked. Great reserve of buoyancy i required so as to make certain of the craft rising to the surface should her machinery break down or the boat suffer any accident that might endanger the lives of those aboard, Plenty of air is to be provided to last during the maximum submerg- ence of the boat and every danger of possible accident is to be provided against as far as ekill nd construction avail. The boatis to offer aslittle surface as possible, 60 ax to prevent foul of lines or other obstructions. She will be lighted throughout with incandescent lights, and will be large enough to carry supplies for three | days’ action. The department requires th the boat hall be provided with adequate men: for the escape of the crew in case of disaster, and is to be capable of meeting successively all the probable contingencies of warfare Ww submerged, and 1s to be able to pass from sub- mergence to the surface with certainty. Par- ticular stress as laid on her ability to remain in one position under water and immovable. She is to be designed to carry five auto-mobile tor- pedoes, und is to be fitted to fire two of them at a time either on the surface or submerged. Bids were opened at the Navy Department today for a submarme torpedo boat as fol- lows: George C. Baker of Washington, D. C to build in nine months, at £130,000: Jokn Holland Torpedo Boat Company of New York, twelve months, 150,000; Marens Rutherburg, | Philadelphia, Pa., eighteen months, €175,000; Lemon Lake, Baltimore, Md., (design only Cowles Engineering Company, Brooklyn, Y., twelve months, 120,000; Clarence B. | Schultz of Philadelphia, Pa.

Kobiason in argument. ‘The distinguished lawrer from Chicopee in- jured the evymmetry of bis plea by his effort to bring his argament what he ce ceived to be the appreciation of the far jury. He has used the dealt in homely words and rust rations. He bas the sympathy of many of the jurymen, possibly all. Bat he failed to take advantage of some appeals that could not but have & i te move the jury, independeut of calling or voca- thon.

Ne grace of speech, 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 porsible t he knows them better than the advocate for the defense, and that beneath their rustic exterior be sees the native appreciation of oratory, native to thoag whowe school readers were made up of extracts from the speeches of Webster and Choate, Pat- 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 siate case with marvel skill. If there is ay acquittal Robinson will be accredited having ‘sacrificed — the opportunity of making such # speech as he ix able for the sake of winning the case for his client in homelier fashion, and if conv remote contingency ax is believed, it victory for the inexorable circumstances that hedged in the accused girl.
