was at the Navy Department today making the
final arrangements for the last payments o.
money due him for the construction of the
torpedo boat Cushing. The report Of the trial
board was quite satisfactory and her accept

was $50, 600 and the amount to be paid Mr..
Herreschoff is about S32, 900. leaving quite a
sum in the hands Of the government in the
form Of retained percentages. which win be
paid in few months. The performance of the

cessful with the exception Of the working of
Herreschoh's improvised distilling apparatus.

Is understood that the Secretary and Col.
Remey have had talk on the matter already
and have come TO conclusion in regard to the
general course to be followed. The DELAY in the
compilation Of the report is thought to be due
to the fact that the judge advocate general is
preparing the charges and specifications to be

one tried, but the run Of opinion il that Lieut..
Ingerson will share his commandant's fate. If
