It is stated at the Treasury Department this morning that no information has yet been received as to the rumor that the revenue cutter Seward was lost in the re- cent storm in the Gulf of Mexico. The mes. Sages of inquiry sent yesterlay were not delivered, as the Western Union Telegraph Company reports that the wires are down at the different gulf points which they were addressed. Further >fforts are icing made this morning to dispel the doubts that surround the fate of the Seward. The Demurer in the Ford’s Theater Case Overruled. COMPLAINTS OF AN EDITORIAL. Mr. Davis and Mr. Perry Charge Duress in the Proceedings. THE COURT OF APPEALS NEXT Judge McComas this morning overruled the demurrer filed by Messrs. Ainsworth, Dant, Covert and Sasse, against the two indictments returned against them for man- slaughter for having been responsible for the death of one Loftus,. one of the victims of the Ford’s Theater disaster of the 9th of June last, and directed that the four defend- ants should be given one week in which to plead further as they may be advised. This additional time was given the accused in which to petition the Court of Appeals to allow an appeal to that court at the present time from Judge McComas’ decision of to- day overruling the demurrer. In anticipation of Judge McComas’ deci- sion, the courtroom was crowded, but the throng witnessed a proceeding, prior to the rendering of the court's decision, not antici- pated. When Messrs. R. Ross Perry and H.E. Davis appeared in court it was observed that each held in his hand a copy of The Evening News of Saturday last. The crowd- ed courtroom was not left long in doubt, for immediately after Judge McComas had excused the jury for an hour and one half Mr. Davis arose. His remarks were based ‘on the News’ editorial of Saturday in which it was stated: “It is quite definitely under- stood in legal circles that Judge McComas will overrule the demurrer in the Ainsworth and that the indictment will be sus- d: “And also, referring to the demur- It 1s based solely upon technicalities, rer: and this is a case in which the people are so vitally interested that technicalities to prevail. Mr, Davis said he and Mr. Perry felt it their duty to call to the attention of the court this editorial as involving a direct affront to the court and direct contempt of the court, to say nothing of its outrage upon proper pubile feeling. “I desire to call your honor’s attention to the grossly improper character of that edi- torial,” said Mr. Davis. “It starts out with the assertion that it is not merely surmise, not merely that It is the judgment of the legal profession, not merely that it is the judgment of those who have given their attention to the matter, that the indict- ment will be sustained, but that it is quite definitely understood.” In other words, your honor must have told somebody, you honor must have said something in’ order to give somebody a definite understanding of what your judgment was to be in ad- vance of your declaration of it from the | bench. A grosser contempt of the court it seems to me impossible to conceive. Nor | {s that all. This demurrer, it is said, is based upon technicalities, as to which ‘the | editor of this journal may have his opinion, | and he is entitled to it, but mark, your | honor: “This is a case in which the people | ey will not allow allow technicalities to prevail.’ your houor is to be mobbed if you sustain | this demurrer? Is it that our clients are | to be lynehed if you sustain this demurrer? | Is it that Mr. Perry and myself, because of | the fearless and loyal discharge of our | duty, are to be made the victims of public | assault If you sustain this demurrer? T| desire to know what other meaning can be attributed to an expression like that? Duress Changed. The moment Mr. Davis concluded Mr. Perry arose and addressed the court. “At the very inception of this case,” said Mr. Perry, “what was intended to be the in- {tial step in the administration of the law of the land was stopped, not by a military tribunal, not by a law in any form, but! by the angry denunciations and threats of a mob. That spirit has followed this case | from its inception, and I regret to say that | the indictment upon its face shows that it has been pandered to; that the very man who under no possible circumstances can |be held to more than an omission of st | pervision in this case is, upon the indict- | ment, paraded before the community in| answer to the cries of that mob as a main offender, and all through this community |it is called ‘Ainsworth's case’ and. ‘Ains- | worth's counsel,” and it has been lyingly | asserted that Ainsworth’s money is paying |for the defense In all of its branches, as well for Mr. Davis as for mysel “There has hardly been a day, there was not a day, when this grand jury wes in session, that there was not a duress brought upon it, or one of its members. If I had pursued my original intention in this case I should have asked your honor to throw this Indictment out of the court as a contaminated, worthless, stinking thins. me of the very grand juvors who found it was reported, the day after he found it, to have said that the jurors would have found it anyhow, even if they had not been afraid not to do it. While this very argu- ment has been pending, there have been these attempts to bring to bear upon your honor the fear of public opinion. I did not think the other day, when I had occasion to picture to yon Lord Mansfield's conduct, that you should so soon be placed in ex- actly his situation. I have been loath, if your honor please, to take this action in this matter, but wher we are brought face to face with the attitude of one member | of the press, such as was assumed by this | editorial, not the work of a reporter, but | the editorial, as was assumed on Saturday, why then I have got to confront this que: tion. “Are we to go through a farce here? Is your honor to sit there, apparently admin- |istering law and threatened by a member | jot the public press with the angry people behind ‘you ready to hold you to responst- bility If you did not decide the law as they |want it decided? I do not stop to notice the imputation about your having disclosed your judgment. In the presence of the | graver fact that mere imputation becomes utterly insignificant. Here is the grave as- | pect of this case: ‘This demurrer is based | ‘solely on technicalities, and it is a case in| which the people are so vitally interested that they will not allow technicalities to prevai'.". This was printed on Saturday. | I do not know whether your honor saw it or not, but if you did see it It was a direct instruction to you, while your judgment was yet presumably unformed on this case, while it had not taken official shape, be- cause in contemplation of law it does not take official shape until you deliver it, it was an instruction to you that you were to follow in interpreting the rules of criminal pleading, which the people call ‘technicali- ties,’ in’ prescribing the measure of infor- mation which would be afforded to a man who comes in here to meet a criminal charge, that while discharging that grave duty you were to be influenced, not by the law, but by the effect of pending public in- dignation and punishment. “Now, if these things are done in the green tree, what will be done in the dry? If this paper does not hesitate to threaten you with popular indignation how can I zo before a petty jury, every member of whom may feel as that grand juror said he felt, that if he did not ‘do what the people want: ed him to do he would be afraid of the-con- sequences which would follow.” Mr. Birney’s Remarks. District Attorney Birney referred to the publication. “If,” he said, “your honor. I | had not supposed that the bringing of this | editorial to your honor’s notice would be an | occasion of going beyond that editorial to linsinuate or charge (because the words leome very nearly that in the excitement which my friend Mr. Perry has evinced over the editorial) Improper conduct on the part of any one who is in no wise connected with | the newspaper which published the edi- torial. If it is intended to be charged here that this case was treated before the grand jury by the government in any other way than it was the sworn duty of {ts officers to treat it that charge is without foundation in fact.

Chances of Holding a Quoram—Will Negotiati Both 8 Follow a Failaret— ides in Earnest. Both sides in the Senate are strengthen- ing their lines for the battle on Wednesday. The repealers say that there will be no shirking on thelr part, and that they will not show the white feather, but will stand there until they can demonstrate whether or not a majority can legislate in the Sen- ate. They are fully convinced that by means of a protracted continuous session, if by any means, a vote can be reached on the Voorhees bill. Every other expediency has been adopted, and if that fails the extraordinary spectacle will be presented of a Senate utterly incapable of doing any- thing which is opposed in any quarter. The silver men are now assuming the atti- tude of defiance which leads them rather to court a test of physical endurance. They may well do this, since the fatigue of the continuous session must fall on the major- ity,which has in its composition a number of men who are not in a physical condition to endure the fatigue of an all-night session. For this reason the general assumption is that a quorum will be broken and the pro- tracted session ended without the accom- plishment of anything. After this there can be nothing left but a compromise, and there is some arrogance being displayed by the radical silver men in their confidence of success.They are saying that the adminis- tration forces will find it more difficult to secure a favorable compromise after the test of physical endurance has been made and has failed than they could secure now if they would agree to enter into negotia. tions for a compromise at once. In antici- pation of Wednesday's battle the southern Senators who are fighting against the un- conditional repeal have been conferred to- gether and have taken a position of re- sistance so that, if the repeal men could hold a quorum in the Senate chamber, the fiver forces would still be sufficiently strong to prevent a vote during a session protracted for many days. The outlook therefore seems to be more and more cer- tainly toward a compromise, and there is a possibility that within twenty-four hours after the protracted session is started the ubstantial terms of a compromise will be outlined and agreed upon in private con- ference. + e+ -____- BACK FROM HAWAII. Th> Boston Reaches San Francisco After a Quick R The U. S. 8. Boston, which has been at Honolulu ever since the downfall of the Liliuokalani dynasty, returned to San Fran- cisco Saturday. She will be surveyed and put out of commission, when she will be repaired and thoroughly overhauled. She made the trip from Honolulu to San Fran- cisco in eleven days, which is a good aver- age run and indicates that her bottom is not so foul as has been represented.

C, Bears of Indiana, who has served as chief, of the Cincinnat! division of post office Inspectors for the past four years. Mr. J. P. Salmon of Ohio was recently ap- pointed to Mr. Bears’ place. The latter ap- pealed to Secretary Gresham to help him retain his place, and the Secretary of State requested Mr. Bissell to recall the demand for Mr. Bears’ resignation, placing the re- quest upon the ground of personal friend- ship.

J., Oct. 9—As great @ crowd as went to see the yachts race for | the America’s cup on Saturday started ‘again today in the fleet of excursion boats leaving from various points on the North and East rivers. At an early hour this morn- ing the weather was murky and the indica- tions for favorable conditions were not good. As the morning grew, however, the sun came out, the weather cleared and the thou- sands of excursionists, nine-tenths of whom were shouting victory for the Vigilant, were , happy at the prospect of propitious weather. | An effort will be made to have the excur- sion boats keep further outside the line of the course of the racers than they did on | Saturday. | Enthusiastic yachtsmen found a finer pros- pect for a good sailing day when they start- | ed down the bay than on elther of the days | last week set for the races. The wind had | an invigorating freshness to it as it came out of the southwest, and old seamen pre- | dicted more breeze than the two crack | yachts have yet had in their two days’ sail- ing together. There were not as thany ex- cursion craft out for the race as on Satur- day, but there were still enough to make a big fleet of escort to the racers. On Board the Yachts. As on Saturday, the crews of the Valkyrie | and Vigilant were early astir this morning | preparing for the race. Those on board the | English boat seemed not one whit disheart- |ened by their defeat of Saturday. Con:- | manders and crew alike go about their dif- | ferent tasks with a will and look of deter- mination which is so distinguishing a fea- | ture of the English race. | Capt. Cranfield, when seen by the United Press reporter, expressed supreme confi- dence in the ability of his boat to eventually win the cup. The prospect of a good breeze today was very pleasing to him. ‘On board the Vigilant there was a feeling of confidence. You could see it in the faces | of the men as they went right merrily at | the duties assigned them. Nat Hereshoff and Mr. Iselin did not say outright that they would win again today, but their faces beamed with such a look that one could easily tell in@their hearts what they be- lieved. The racers did not get away from Bay Ridge as promptly as expected this morn- ing. | A Heavy Fog on the Bay. All was in readiness, but for the reason that a heavy fog enveloped the lower bay neither boat could afford to take a bumping against one of the many vessels j Which anchor in the lower bay durinc jheavy weather. So they waited for the sun i to dispel the mists before commencing the journey to the starting point, which, as in |the previous race, was from the Sandy Hook lightship. It lacked but a few minutes to 8 o'clock, when, the fog having lifed completely the Commander and Pulver took hold of the racers and towed them down inside of Sandy Hook, where the sails of the re- spective boats were placed in position. The Vigilant in tow then proceeded slowly to the starting point. ‘The Englishman, however, cast off their tow lines and taking advantage of the good breeze sailed for the lightship with | the intention evidently of seeing how their boat would behave. ‘The Course. races for the America’s cup was to be sailed on a triangular course, each of the legs of | ‘The second of the international yacht which is ten miles long.
