A New Inqaa't ordered ColoWel Afes worth's Petition Denied. Washington, Jane 14.—The district supreme court thie morning dismissed Colonel Alnsworth's petition for a man damns, on two-grounds: First, holding tbat the deputy coroner Is not a legal officer, which invalidates the inquest co far as held. Second, the tight ot a par son to be present at an Inquest in per son err hy nonase! is discretionary with the coroner, and therefore not a subject for a mandamus. In deference to the decision of the supremecoart Deputy Coroner Sehaeffer, Who has been conducting the inquest on the Ford's theater the proceedings until tomorrow. A curious noint now develops; no dead body has been viewed by the legally constituted coroner's jury. Unless one ot the in jured victims diet it will be necessary to exhume a body. The commissioners ol the district de cided this afternoon to order a new in quest, and directed Mr. Thomas, attor ney for the district, to assist Coroner Patterson in conducting It, in view.nl the latter* ill health. It is ascertained that tbe bodies ol Messrs. I,of ins and Fegan are still In a vanlt at (Henwood cemetery. One of the bodies will be Viewed try tbe jury tomorrow and the Inquest begun anew, with tbe same jury resummoned. Just how far Peputy Coroner Schaef fer's inquests prior to this decision will be invalidated is rather a serious ques tion. It is believed nothing serious will result, however. A number ol clerks who worked in the wrecked building have expressed a de sire to be heard in Colonel Ainsworth's behalf. BERING SEA ARBITRATION. A Decision Expected by the Ist of Aa- gast—Llge Halford'* Order*. Washington, June 14. —The officials at the state department are of the opinion that the arguments before the Bering sea arbitration tribunal will be con cluded within the next 10 days, and, with the exception of General Agent Foster, all tbe officials connected with the American case will return to the United States. Althongh it is expected tbe decision of the arbitrators will be announced by the Ist of August, the approaching return of the delegates accounts for the rumor that Maj. E. W. Halford will be relieved from further duty with the tribunal and ordered to regular doty in the pay de partment of tbe army. Major Halford is acting under orders ol the secretary of state, and when relieved of special duty, is to take a station at St. Paul, Minn.

GOLD IN THE TREASURY. The Bar plus Built Up by Westward Cttr- reney Movements. Washington, June 14.—The treasury gold is being built up by deposits in New York of gold certificates in ex change lor currency orders in the west. The demand tor money in the west still continues, and through this exchange the treasury is receiving gold at the same time it is accommodating New York banks in placing currency at west ern points. The net gold in the treasury at tbe close of business today was $92, --138,915, an increase ol nearly a million dollars over the day before, and an in crease of more than two million dollars during the week.

Naw York, Jane 14,—The shipment nf currency to tbe weat and south by the New York banks continued today, and excited much comrnttht. The anvemt sent out yesterday ie estimated at mors than $l,(X)o,of)o,and Moth** million was ordered today. When asked aa to the cause for the large shipment, which is mainly to the west (the amount sent out within the last 10 days is believed to ex ceed $14,000,000), the bankers agreed in Baying the demand is largely doe to tbe distrust prevailing everywhere in the country, and especially in the west, where there have been a great many failures of both banks and commercial houses. The stringency of the money market is beingexperiencedat both ends of the line now. Raving* banks, as) well as other banks ont west, are fortifying themselves as modi sM possible, and that especially is tbe caee with the ooun-. try savings banks, causing the bearding of money in thos* places and the conse quent drain on the hanks of New York city. As a rewrlt many New York banks are being compelled to call in loans in order to maintain the lawful reserve. The sending forward of wheat, tt Is believed, will only account for a very small part of the demand for the cur rency from the weat. Last week the United States troanrt too* $1,000,000 from banks as the result of the week's operations, bat this week it is expected the banks will gain at least $1,000,000 from the treasury, and probably more next week, as tbe payment of pensions has begun and will reach its height next week. As an indication of how the monetary stringency is affecting trade in all its ramifications, it was reported in Wall street today that three large mercan tile houses in Chicago were endeavoring to get an extension in this city from wholesale houses from which they bought goods. Another indication of the stringency is the fact that a large mercantile house i» thts city of first class credit and abundant assarts, had to pay 11 per cent for an extension to tide it over a tight place* Lack of buying is also reported to be one of the unfavorable conditions, and it is generally attributed to curtailments of credits, ths bad state of affairs tn the west and generally to tbe money strin gency and the lack of confidence. Dealers say transactions id govern ment bonds lately have been in excess of the nsual amount. They amount to about $1,500,000 in ihe last fortnight. The supply comes from the west and there has been a decline of about 1 per cent in price. There was a meeting of the Clearing house committee today. The meeting was a Special one and lasted more than two hours. None of the members wonld say why the meeting Was called or what wae done, but later in the day it was stated, from a reliable source, that tbe question of Issuing clearing bouse certificates, as a makeshift in the absence of ready cash, was th* Subject of discussion. So far as can be learned, the committee did not decide to issue certificates, the matter going over to a Second meeting to held tomorrow. BAISBD CHHCKS.

Borden's body as a duster the latter used. Eli Bstts, a drug clerk who was asked to testify that Lizzie tried to purchase prusßtc acid from him the day before the murder, was next called, but an ob jection was raised by tbe defense, and after considerable argument the court retired ior consultation regarding tbe admission of the testimony.

Taylor, U.8.N., has submitted to the directory of the Nicaragua Canal com pany a plan looking to the early inaugu ration and completion of the enterprise. The commander was formerly vice president and general manager of the canal, but has not been actively con nected with the enterprise since 1890 "The pan," he said, "is nothing more nor lees thau the building of tbe great waterway by the peo ple of the United States them selves, in their individual capacities as investors and capitalists, and not through tbe action of their legislature or money centers. I have advised the company to issne propaganda to per sons of all sorts and conditions within fcaflaV r 'fc*'li&f tfett.t\L Jib e.h*& eJU».g f o &tw and of the assured returns to investors. The host, way is the establishing of bu reaus in some 09 of the principal cities of the United States whence a reg ular campaign can be carried on, pam phlets distributed, lecturers sent out and other means adopted to stir up and sustain interest in the project. I confi dently believe that $20,000,000 can be raised in this way, through the sale of bonds to the people, in less than six months, and this $20,000,000 will be suf ficient to insure the completion of the canal. The money to be raised by the propaganda is to be applied to the con struction of the caual at once. It is to be built and built quickly. If we can not build a 30-toot canal, we will build a 25-foot one. We will have a canal that will admit ships passing through it from the Atlantic and Pacific, and vice verßa, by the year 1900."

Miles is the father of five children, a son of 21 by a former wife in Kansas, and four others born to him by tbe woman since their advent to California. Two weeks ago Miles, it is said, caught his son in a compromising position with hia supposed wife, and on investigation tbe father discovered that an intimacy had existed between the son and tha woman for some time. Miles, it is said, then drew a revolver and marched his son and the woman up to Justice Bartholomew's conrt, and. having obtained a license, the two were married.

The party arrived at the police station last night and told their story to Chief Class, who recommended them to the district attorney's office. To further complicate matters, it ap pears that tbe son waß engaged to a young woman of Banta Monica. After tbe marriage of tbe eon, the father re turned to tbe latter city and commenced paying attention to tbe girl. THE POLICE COURT. Minor Case* Which Were Under ConstoV oration Yeaterday.
