inc plate. are substantially those given in
the Herald. The Secretary spent several
hours in construction of the report and
experiments, and its support IS stoutly
maintained that there is gigantic fraud
somewhere. not exactly Of the nature of
counterfeiting, ard apparently they have
settled to the satisfaction Of the Secretary
that the trouble is not in the printing de-
partment of the treasury.
