Donald, state commissioner of lunacy,
says that Edward NJ. Field, supposed to
be confined in the state insane
asylum, is undergoing practically no
con finement, and in fact is permitted
to go about the city of Buffalo without
an attendant. A reporter today called
DR.. Allen Mclean Hamilton's attention
to the rumor that Field was enjoying
great liberty at Buffalo, and then asked
the doctor:
''Do you think Field is or ever was in
sane?''
Certainly not. The whole thing is a
farce. l saw him, as did many other ex-
perts on insanity, who agreed with me. -

|. NEW INQUEST STARTED,
Inquiring Into the Ford Theatre
Disaster.
THE OLD JURY SUMMONED.
Several Experts Examined Regarding
the Safety of the Building.
All Specifications for Work on the Struc-
ture Were Supervised by Col. Aims
worth-The Work said to Not
Have Been Properly Done.

WASHINGTON, June ia new inquest
was started today in the Ford theatre dis
aster. The old jury was summoned and
they, with the coroner, went to the ceme-
terry and viewed the body of Frederick
LOTUS
James L. Parsons testified that he sub
mitted a bid for the work, but failed to
get the contract. When witness exam
med the building in May he found no
evidences oil an unsafe condition. The
witness stated that the work could have
been completed in safety had all the floors
been shored mp. Witness did not con-
slider the work properly done. The spec
lhcatlOns for the work were read, and at
the clause 1.-THE contractor shall be liable
Tor all damage done to the building, -
there was murmur of disapproval.
Edward Clark, capitol architect, made
an examination OF the building in 1850
and 1888 and thought it safe, put would
not have undertaken the work without
shoreing.
Thomas Bintwhistle, district building
inspector, found the floors and walls per-
fectly safe five years ago, but considered
the disaster due to no snoring.
Francis Iasse, the building engineer
who made the specifications for the
electric light plant, testified he had no
NAlAuiHS OApOA4ShSS O0CSpb n bHe cuu-
structing OF a seven room dwelling and
archway. So far as he knew no superin-
tendent OF work but Colonel Ainsworth,
who visited the building nearly every
day and witness inspected the excavation
daily but saw no signs of snoring. When
examined, witness said he con-
sidered himself competent to draw plans
but not competent to say how the work
should be done.
After recess two builders and brick
layers were examined. They all agree
that collapse was caused by the unsSill-
full character of the work.
Captain Thorpe, of the war depart
ment said he understood that the prepar-
atoms and specifications were supervised
| by Colonel Ainsw0rth alone. The in
quest was then adjourned.

WINTER EXPOSITION.

California State Board of Trade Asks
Mayor Harrison to Help Secure 1t.
SAN FRANCISCO, June t5.-Presldent
Gregory of the state board of trade has
sent message to Mayor Harrison of Chi
CATO, enlisting his aid, sympathy and en-
couragennent to the city in inaugurating
a winter commercial exposition here fol-
lowing the Worlds fair. He recites the
fact that California was the first to de-
clare for Chicago in securing the Worlds
fair, and was the first state to make an
appropriation for the exposition and that
its appropriation is larger than that of
any other country or state except Illinois,
owes return of the favor to this city.

DELESsEPs Is FREE.
The Court of Cessation Relieves the
Panama Boodlers.

The Court of Cessation Relieves the
Panama Boodlers.
PARIS, June 15.-Considerable excite
ment has been caused by a decision of the
court of cessation on the appeal OF Charles
DeLesseps and other defendants convicted
of fraud in connection with the Panama
canal. The court handed down a decision
today quashing the sentence on the
ground that the statute of limitations COW
cred the offenses charged and that the in
dictments on which the prisoners were
tried were irregular. In consequ ence of
the decision M. Eiffel was at once liber-
ated from prison. Charles DeLesseps,
who is now in the st. Louis hospital suf-
fering from acute dyspepsia, was in
formed that he was free, but he was too
i'll to leave the hospital.
Following were those convicted:
Ferdinand DeLesseps, his son Charles,
Marius Fontane, Henry Cottu and Gus
tave Eiffel. Ferdinand DeLesseps was
sentenced to five years imprisonment and
to pay fine
The decision of the court sustains the
contention of appellants and aside from
defective indictment declared that they
are entitled to liberty.
M. Fontaine was also notified of the
reversal of his sentence and he was at
once given his liberty.
In addition to the sentence of five years
imprisonment imposed upon Charles De
Lesseps, he was sentenced at later trial,
to serve one year Tor bribing certain
members of the Chamber to vote for the
Panama lottery bond bill. This sentence
has not been set aside and the statement
| that he was told this morning that he was
at liberty is slightly erroneous. Probably
| the unserved portion of the sentence will
be Immediately RENTED and De Lesseps
allowed to leave the hospital as soon as he
| is able.
Thus ends one of the greatest crimina
cases France has ever known, in which
names OF men prominent in political an6
social life We're badly smirched, in which
it caused one man, Baron De Reinch, tc
commit suicide and two or three others tc
fee the country.

THE ATLANTA REACHES COLON.
Yellow Fever Prevails on Some of the
Islands OF the Isthmus.

Islands OF the Isthmus.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-Word was re-
ceiVed at the navy department today that
the United States ship Atlanta had arrived
at Colon for coal. Yellow fever has ap-
peared on some OF the Islands Of the
isthmus, and as affairs in Nicaragua APP
peared to have quieted down, it is prob
able the naval vessels will not be kept
much longer in that vicinity. The
Alliance will probably go down the coast
as far as Callao and remain there until
the Philadelphia arrives IN Peruvian
waters, which it is expected will be some
time IN August, SO that a United States
naval vessel Will be on hand during and
after the elections in July. The Atlanta

CLEARING HOUSE CERTIFICATES.
A New Scheme Proposed by New York
Bankers.


Bankers.
NEW YORK, June 15.-In view of the
serious drain upon banks here caused by
demands from the interior, the clearing
house committee proposes that every
clearing house center in the country issue
clearing house certificates which would
make available for use between banks a
vast amount ofperfectly good assets which
is now uncurrent. In the opinion OF
sagacious and conservative bank Of
ficers in this city would be a long
step toward restoration of confidence.
The last time clearing house loan certifi-
Gates were taken out was during the Bar
ing trouble, when the example of the New
York banks was followed by Boston and
Philadelphia. This course would vir-
tually make each clearing house group
single bank of discount and would dis
tribute the burden of accommodations
more equally than at present, enabling
institutions short of cash to obtain it
from neighbors without attracting atten-
ton or creating distrust.
