package on the ID Of June. This alter
noon the prisoner was brought before Judge
| Wylie on writ Of habeas corpus, but the
Judge declined to discharge or release him
on bail, for the reason that the warrant was
from the Police Court, and the court had
no jurisdiction.
4 telegram has been received. from New
York stating that Benz. Halleck clerk in
| the Treasury Cash-rOOm, on leave of alb
senoe, was arrested in that city to day on
charge of being concerned in the larceny,
| and would arrive here to-day. Halleck,
| while in New York, visited jeWelry, tail
| OTing, dry goods, carriage and harness es-
1 Establishments, making inquiries as if he in
| tended making large purchases. This af-
| ternOOn VIM. II. OHenan, a restaurant
| keeper, was arrested charged with being
implicated in the larceny.
The detectives feel confident they have
| the right parties and are sure that a pOr-
ton Of the money will be recovered.
Friends of Gilman are making efforts 10
have him released on bail, but the authO-i-
ties demand bonds TO the amount Of $780,
coo for his appearance. .Halleck was re-
Gently promoted to shipping teller. He is
native Of New York and has been en-
ployed in the Department about eight
years. Brown was discharged from the
QUatermaster Generals office about a year
ago on account Of the testimony on the
trial of Slater for the murder Of Hussey
being derOgatOry to his character. Gilman
is the proprietor of a restaurant on Penn
Sylvanla avenue, where Brown had rooms.
1t is expected other arrests will be made
shortly.
Halleck arrived tonight. On road 10
this city, he attempted to throw away a
memorandum book. But the officers Sc
cured ii, and upon examination It was found
to contain figures 47,097.65, the exact
amount Of money contained in the stolen
package. These figures had been erased by
a lead pencil, though they had been sub
divided By two, and thee UOtient, =. 54S. S25,
remained untouched. Halleck gave several
conflicting statements regarding these en-
tries, but finally admitted that he attempt
ed 30 throw the book away as the figures in
il would secure his conviction. The figures
mentioned leads the officers to the belief
that he divided the money equally with an
other person. Il is said tonight that one
of The parties arrested has made q full con-
fessiOn. While the authorities do not oeny
this. they decline 10 admit the fact, though
they say there has been some talk, anu the
public may rest assured the right men have
been secured. None Of the money has been |
recovered yet, but tLey have strong hopes |
of getting a good portion Of It soon, all |
arrested are locked up, none Of them |
having been able to furnish the bail Of |
100000.

When the United States statutes at large
were revised by the commission appointed
for that purpose, by a singular oversight, all
laws III relation to the District of Column
bIa were left out Of the revision. To rem
edy this defect, Hon. L. j. Durant, who
had previously been employed TO compare
l
original acts, vas employed to revise this
portion Of the statutes. This work he has
done, besides preparing an index TO the
same, the whole making about 800 pages.

There is a good deal Of anxiety among
financial men 20 learn the exact makeup
Of the Sj9,OOO,OO0 item Of coin balance in
The debt statement. To ascertain the gold

Secretary BristOw has given orders that no
information upon The subject shall be
given out. Some Of the spectators state,
With a round emphasis, thal the bulk Of
his sO-called coin reserve is made zap Of
silver and certificates, and they even 20 so
ar as to state that not over Slj 100000 of
ID is gold. Treasurer New informed the
Times correspondent to-day that Mr.. Bris-
ow declined 10 give the items Of the coin
