WASHINGTON, May O.-The Commits.
sion appointed by Postmaster Ney to in
qnire into the cause oil the late accident
at the New York poStofIlcs building, in
their report to Secretary Sherman con.
clude that the accident is due to two cau-
ses: First, that the truss erected did not
correspond with that recommended by
Superintendent Oakspot, approved BY
Supervising Architect Hill, and appur.
emily contracted for by Hevelmann, Ha.
ven Il Co. Second, that the shores were
removed and the truss was subjected to

son competent 10 determine II il was con.
structed in conformity with the contract.
Your Commission considers that itis,p per.
hapg, n fortunate circumstance that this
accident, sad us 1t ia, occurred. 1t has
led 10 the detection OF a radical weakness
Of hidden girdcr Of the ceiling Of the
U. S. Court room, the continuance Of

DISCHARGE OF ENLISTED MEN.
The Secretary Of War to-day issued an
order directing that $500 enlisted men Of
the army be discharged between this date
and the lst Of July, In order that the re-
tanned pay and other allowances due
them may be paid out Of the appropria.
tion for the current fiscal year. This
discharge is made on aCccout Of the post.
ponement Of the extra session Of Con-
gres. Had the session been called
the 4th Of June as contemplated
the discharge would not have been made
for some months. Under the act OF Au.
gust 10, 1876, the President was empow-
cred TO increase the number Of enlisted
men to 100 for each company Of such
regiments OF cavalry as may be employed
in the existing Indian hostilities as in his
opinion may require the same; provided
that not more than $500 enlisted men
shall thus be added at any one time to
the 25,O0O authorized by the act Of July
"a, 1876, and it is the additional men en-.
listed in pursuance Of this act who are now
to be discharged. The discharge Of the
number above mentioned reduces the
army 10 95,00O enlisted men.
