INVESTIGATING THAT SHORTAGE
Acting Mint Director Preston in Phila-
de1phta.

Acting Mint Director Preston In Phila-
de1phta.
PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 16, 1893.--An air
of mystery surrounds the alleged short
age OF Eve thousand ounces of gold from
the Philadelphia mint. A report was
current last night that mint official had
been arrested on charge of stealing the
gold and held under heavy bail. but all
efforts to confirm this rutnor were fruit
less. Acting Mint Director Preston
arrived here last evening from Washing
ton and was in conference for several
hours with Chief of the Secret Service
Drummond. Superintendent Bosbyshell
OF rne mint, Treasury Agent Will
lam e. Morgan, David K.
TuttIe. smeiter and refiner at the
mint. and Treasury Agent Underwood.
II was said that the suspected official
was closeted with them. ana that an
effort was being made to make him con-
fess, but when the conferences ended none
of the participants would talk. All at
tempts to learn what the outcome were
met with rebuffs.
IL 10 asserted that when the re-
Weighing Of the metal had been CONS
pleted, the apparent shortage may be
found TO be the result OF an error, but NO
credsnce is placed in this, The anxiety
or the mint officials and thS fact that
everybody concerned absolutely refuses
to discuss the matter, In a measure, sub
stimulates the original report Of the
actual shortage.

REQUISITION REFUSED.
Counsellor Peshall's Argument on
Behalf of Cashier Went
worth.

Governor George T. WArts refused this
morning to grant the requisition of Gov
ernor Flower, of New York, for the body
of William P. Wentworth. the absconding
cashier OF the Hotel Victoria, who is now
detained in the County Jail. Jersey City.
Detective William p Sheridan, Of the
New York Central Office, arrived In this
city this morning with the requisition
papers. AS he was about to take car to
proceed to Governor Werts's residence on
Crescent avenue, Counsellor Charles I.
Peshall, whom Wentworth had retained
in his defence, saw the officer and guessed
his mission. Mr. Peshau took the same
car. and both went before the Governor
After the detective had presented the
requisition, Mr., Peshall objected on the
ground that the New York authorities are
trying to deprive Wentworth of his lib
erty to determine civil matters at issue
between Hoyt & Stanield. the proprietors
Of the hotel
Wentworth is charged with einbezzling
$Ss,61o 90, and the indictment. urged Mr.:
Peshall, is so peculiar that. the District
Attorney of New York and the Grand
Jury of that city had not been able to
determine the ownership of the money.
Wentworth's Indictment consists of
four counts, SO vague that the reeuisition
should not be granted. Il
The Governor would not, in view of
these objections, endorse the requisition,
but liked Wednesday morning in Chan
cery Chambers for q hearing.
