Tho official heads Of Patrick II. Winston,
United States attorney; Thomas r. Brown,
United States marshal; Andrew wasson. United
States collector at Port Townsend; C. ].
Mulkey, United States special agent, and six
special inspectors Of customs in the Puge,
Sound district, all In the state of Washington,
have fallen into the official hopper as the re-
suit OF reports made TO Secretary Carlisle by
Special Treasury Agents Wood and Lewis.
These reports are numerous and circum-
stantial as to details, and tell the story of one
OF the most extensive and successful conspira.
cies ever formed to sm1ggfe 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
kilograms have not been received at the
Treasury Department from Agents Wood and
Lewis. and on these reports off,
cials OF the Treasury Department,
have been summary dismissed The
last batch Of dismissak Of customs inspectors
was made on Saturday. but Secretary Carlisle
thinks the end OF justice NAV be defeated by
making public their names. These officials. il
is charged by the reports received. have been
doing wholesale business for several
wears, in connection with private parties in
Victoria, B. c.. in smuggling in Chinese by
means OF fraudulent certificates and in per.
mitting opium smuggling either by connivance
or otherwise.
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 violation OF the law as 10 the
illicit business OF Chinese and opium snug
CLING into the United States. Politics have
never entered into it. but the immense profit
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
secretly investigate these alleged frauds, with
the result stated. Uninfuenced by local
surroundings or affiliations, they went to work
and unearthed what is regarded here as one of
the greatest conspiracies in which government
officials were ever implicated. Not
to defeat the continuance Of the Investigation,
all the prominent government officials named
were removed by the President and their sue
cessors appointed without the usual announce
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 we're:

Other removals are yet to come. and the
matter in due course Of time will find its way
into the courts.

trail member of tle commission will bo ap-

PROBABILITY OF THE SUSPENSION OF COL.
AINswokrH.
The army court of inquiry in the case OF
Col. Ainsworth will probably meet at the War
Department Thursday for the purpose Of Or
ganzing and beginning the taking Of tes.i-
mony. The actual time of the assembling of the
court will depend altogether upon the wishes OF
Secretary Lamont. He will return here tonight
from New York. The members of the court
desire to consult him before beginning the in
vestigation. 1t is known to be the wish of the
court to begin this investigation as soon us
practicable. and it is not ut all likely that
Secretary Lamont will interfere in any way
with Its progress. His return is not at all es-
sentiai to the assembling Of the court, but some
of the members deem it proper TO consult his
wishes in the matter before entering actively
upon the investigation.
WITH OPEN DOORS.
As stated in yesterdays STAR, the proceedings
of tine court will be open to all interested per-
sons and will probably be completed in four or
five days. The plan Of procedure and the list OF
witnesses to be examined have been practically
arranged.
Army officers ridicule tine report of possible
conflict of authority between the military and
civil authorities in future proceedings against
Col. Ainsworth. 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 ut 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. AINswoRrH's SUSPENSION
1t is said at the War Department that it is
not likely that Col. Ainsworth will be suspended
from Office 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 express purpose Of
determining Col. Ainsworth's responsibility for
the accident. According to this view his sus-
pension from duty will depend on the finding
of this court.
1t is possible. however. that the President
may conclude to suspend him without awaiting
the result of the preliminary military investi-
cation. but In the absence OF Secretary Lamont
it is impossible TO obtain official information on
this subject.
