The application OF George Austin. OF

against Secretary OF the Treasury

alotting $?l,50o,0o0 worth OF Panama
Canal bonds to certain national banks
was to- day denied by Justice Gould, OF
the Supreme Court OF the District oi

: Mr.. Austln's suit sought TO enjoln
Secretary Cortelyou from doing what
was an accomplished fact. and sough,
tc invoke the injunctive power Of the
court in matter within the discre-

The circular which advertised for pro.

right to reject any bid. Judge Gould's
decisions hinged principally on this
point. Mr.. Austin charged that the
Secretary OF the Treasury had vio.
lated the law In refusing his bid for

NEWS CAME FROM Paris.
Chartered Steamer Reported to Have
Conveyed ExplonlTch.

Chartered steamer reported 10 AAve
Conveyed Explosives.
PARIS January 20.-The reports
cabled from Rio Janeiro that the Bra
lillian authorities were warned from
Paris OF a possible attempt to blow up
the American battleship fleet while.
in the harbor there are true. Some
time ago certain suspicious. indicat-
ing the existence of plot to destroy
the whole or a portion OF the fleet,
either at Rio Janeiro or in the Straits
of Magellan, were aroused here, and
naturally communicated to Rio and
Washington.
A chartered steamer was reported
to have conveyed explosives for the
use OF the conspirators to Rio Janeiro.
arriving there about the middle of
December. and John Fedher was one
OF the men whose name was revealed
here as implicated In the conspiracy.
The alleged plot Is supposed to have
some rather startling rantticationa,
but the evidence along this line Is tar
from conclusive. and rests chiefly upon
the statements of an individual whose
record was subsequently, proved to be
anything but creditable. Consequently
the whole affair is regarded with much
skepticism, and indeed the presump-
tion has been raised that 1t may have
been a deliberately connected scare.
The story in brief as given by those
responsible for it Is substantially ss
follows:

ing here, claims to have overheard
snatches OF telephone conversat!o n,
