WASHINGTON NEWS.

Washington, August 6.-The report
ofthe committee, consisting of Messrs
Tolmnn, Garrison and Huntington,
upon their investigation of the coast
survey has been submitted to the
secretary of the treasury. 1t states
that they took possession of the
bureau ON July 14th and couducte ed
the investigation, which resulted IN
leaving no ground for doubt that the
actual conditions of the survey was
one of decentralization and its work
ing inefficient, unjust and to some ex-
tent, disreputable. The regulations
are partially to blame, but the late
superintendent is chargable with
willingness TO avail himself of OPP
portunitics for continuance of
abuses, weakness and procrastination,
favoritism aud arrogance, disregard
of regulations aud notorious use of in
toxicants. This combination seems
to have been demoralizing' to subor-
dinates.
The investigation showed a
large number of irrcgulari-
ties which are set forth
at great length aud which involve
tt'hiNoo anu Eio7N
management. Tho committee fluid
that Prof llilgard's habits aud meth
DDS; his failure OF faculty or pcrva-
sion of moral sense, unfit him for a
posision of responsibility. The report
says the dismissal of Colonel BOutille
from the service, is perhaps undcserv.
cd, but his restoration TO his former
place is deprecated. The restoration
of &. A. Sagmueller would, 1t il
claimed, be detrimental to the morals
of the coast survey.
Evidence was given indicating w

to unusual or apparently unnecessary
charges, while disbursing agent of tn,
