Court Of INQUIRY.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The Swain
court of inquiry met this morning.
General Swain was present with his
counsel, Representative Calkins and
Judge Johnston. Bateman, who
preferred the charges against General
Swain, was accompanied by his at
tOrney, jeff Oh andIer. A general
statement of the grounds on which
the accusations were made by Bate
man to the Secretary of War was
made Dy Chandler, and Calkins fol-
lowed with q counter statement for
the defence. Neither side touched
anything but the specific charges
made in Bateman's letter to the Sec
rotary of War, but the Judge-Advo>
cate of the court calling the attention
of the court to this suggested that the
scope of the inquiry be extended to
further charges alluded to in the Gloss
ing part of Bateman's letter but not
specifically made. The court decided
that Bateman~be called upon to ex-
plain these charges also before the
inquiry is concluded. Bateman was
then called and testified to the char
acter and extent Of the business
transactions between his firm and
General Swain. Before the conclu-
sion of his. testimony the court adj
jOurned until tomorrow.

Renshaw Opera House.

Whiteley's Original Hidden Hand
Company appeared at the Opera
House last night to a very apprecia-
tive but not large audience. The play
deserved a much better attendance,
but a combination of circumstances,
one of which being the excited state
of mind of a majority of u citizens
over the municipal election, contrib>
u1ed largely to prevent a full attend
ance to witness the production of a
very popular play produced by one of
the best companies that has ever ap-
peared In this city. Miss Fannie
Francis, in the triple role Of Archie,
the newsboy, Capltola Black and
Capitola LeNoir, the dashing and
captivating heiress, was superb and
called forth the heartiest applause of
the audience, while Mr.. Robert Fer
guson as Wool. impersonated the
house servant and attendant in old
slavery days to perfection. A num>
Der of speclalties is introduced in
the play by Miss Francis. Ferguson
and Haley, which are not originally
with the piece but are nevertheless
very pleasing.
Tonight will be presented BARLEY
Campbell's drama in five acts en-
titled, Vigilantes, or a Woman's De-
votion, a beautiful picture Of early
lite in California and in the mines.
On Wednesday evening the Hidden
Hand will again be presented with .
change of speciaIties from last nights
performance. The MINER predicts
that the attendance Will be large
each night during the remainder of
the engagement in this city of this
excellent company and that every one
witnessing the performance will be
well pleased.

The depositors, judging from the ap-
pearance of those about the building.
are of the well-to>d0 class. An ex-
PLANTATION is promised this afternoon.
The Post says the suspension Of the
Marine National Bank was an
nounced q little after ii this morning.
The immediate cause of the failure
was the banks inability to meet its
debt Of about $500, 900 at the clearing
house this morning, but the cause be-
hind this is supposed to be the real
estate operations of President James
u. Fish during the last year or two.
Within that time he bought Booths
theatre and the Casino and has also
recently purchased q large apart
ment building. The reconstruction
of Booths theatre and building of the
Mystic" have taken a great deal of
ready money which he is presumed
to nave borrowed from the bank.
Fish is second vice president of the
St. Louis & San Francisco railroad,
and the Marine Bank is the registra-
ton office Of that stock. 1t is pre-
sumed this connection had nothing
to do with the embarrassment of the
bank, though it is understood that
some connection with either Ontario
& Western and West Shore stock
manipulations may have had some
influence, though something only
secondary to the real estate opera
tons of the president. A few min
utes after 10 O'Clock a gentleman
made q deposit at the Marine Nation
al Bank and as he went out was fol-
lowed to the door by the bank porter
who began rolling down the iron
shutters. The depositor ran back
but the receiving clerk had shut his
window and gone out of bust
ness tor an indefinite period.
The paying teller was still more
conspicuous by his absence and
the deposition had the consolation of
standing on the steps of the bank the
next hour telling his experience to q
crowd of excited depOsitOrs who
gathered at the corner of Wall street
and Pearl within an incredibly short
time. Unless the failure was the re-
suit of worse than too heavy real es>
tate speculations, the failure will not
prove disastrous. One depOsitor said
Wall street generally objected to the
Marine Lank because If its family
character. James D. Fish is presi-
dent, and John d. Fish, his nephew,
cashier, and half q dozen other rela-
tives of the president were l n POSI-
tons of trust.

McDONALD'S BENEFIT
A Crowded House and q Rafting
Exhibition.

The benefit given at the Comique
the other night to MI. Duncan Nc
Donald, who will fight Pete Mccoy
the 18th inst, was a decided success
in every particular. The house was
crowded from pit to gallery by an
enthusiastic audience, the sparripg
was excellent and the ''between acts'
of a most entertaining character.
After the olio by the Comique
troupe Evan Morgan was introduced
by Frank Hayes, Master Of Ceremo>
ries. Evan is a fine club swinger
and gave a very creditable exhibition
of that art. Miss Dody Zanfletta
followed with one of her favorite vo-
cal selections which was loudly ap>
plauded.

an next appeared in a friendly
setto with soft gloves and gave a

art. Professor Sicotte followed in

Billy Morris acted as target. The
act consists in Sicotte showing how
near he can throw knives to Billy's
nose and mouth and neck and head
and body without hitting him. The
nerve displayed by Morris and the
accurateness of the Professors aim
are really marvellous. Miss Mabel
Pearl in one of her charming songs
appeared and was followed by
Dave Cusick and Evan Morgan
in a spirited three round setto which
was loundly applauded. Ida Storms,
the danseuse and Grace Alvin, the
beautiful club swinger, followed In

Newcomb, Of the Park Theatre, who
had kindly volunteered for the occa-

and dance. Bobby is immense in both
and was frequently encored.
Ppm going back to Dixie" was
sang and acted by Nick Hughes in
his best style, when A. D. Weston
gave an artistic exhibition of club
swinging seldom witnessed. A most
laughable middle act piece was then
performed, in which Kittie Bremond,
Billy Morris and Professor Sicotte
took part. Ed Rodda, who is to fight
Frank Owens the 18th inst, and
John Gray, mis- antagonist in a late
6stic encounter, then took the stage
in a friendly but lively setto. This
was followed by Ben Arthur and
Dennis Flaherty in q glove encoun-
ter, which in turn was succeeded by
a pleasing sketch by Mabel Pearl,
Cassidy and Billy Morris. A spirited
setto between Grace Alvin and Evan
Morgan followed, in which it was
shown that woman can strike from
the shoulder when she knows how.
The whole concluded with a rafting
and scientific sett0 between Melon
aid and Frank Hayes, his trainer, in
which Hayes showed hei is a good one
with the gloves.

NEW YORK. May 6.-The Marine
National Bank has closed. J.. D.
Fish Is president of the bank. A
year ago the hank purchased Booths
theatre. The clearing house Is con~
aidering the suspension. It is thought
the failure is a bad one. The capital
of the bank is $500, 600. Its statement
OF September 22d last showed a sur
plus of $3.50, 600; undivided profits,
$62, 345. John D. Fish is cashier.
A visit to the bank disclosed some
so disconsolate %depositors standing in
the pouring rain and found closed
doors, no admittance being given re-
porters. No notice was posted on
the door. The bank opened
at the usual time this
morning but before noon closed
abruptly without assigning q cause
The stock market was very active
and there seemed to be some connec-
ton between the failure and the con-
dition of affairs of the stock exchange.

Yesterday, Tom, the drayman, was
leading a little, blind, homely, emery

on the possibly fearful consequences,
ran and jumped astraddle of the meek
looking animal just for the fun of the
thing. The fun commenced imme-
diately, and lasted about two Sec
onds. Everybody knows just how
queerly a surprised mule will act
especially If he is blind. The mnle
was both surprised and blind. The
first thing that occurred to him was
to hump up his back, and he did
hump it up until his back
bone assumed very much the
shape of u capital II turned bot
tom side up. Jim at once discovered
that he had straddled the blind
when he ought not to have done it
and clasped the broncho around the
neck just In time to ke ep from being
thrown over Mount Helena. The
little mule. however, did not falter.
AS stated above the fun lasted about
two seconds, during which time the
mule assumed about seven million
different attitudes. His favorite trick
was to stand away up on his fore feet,
spring from that to q horizontal posi-
ZION npon his hind legs, then jump
on his right ear and whirl arouDd-a
quicker than creased lightning. He
