A rtatement sent to The Star, made by
one who has served many years In the
army as . commissary sergeant. furnishes
some interesting facts pertinent to the
bread question.
During my term of service In the army
I have been from Pembina to the gulf, and
wherever I have been have found bakers

furnish bread as an equivalent. pound for

bakers decline to Use potatoes. as o rule,
as IT makes too much work; but Il improves
the bread and keeps II moist. In the army
the company TO which 1 belonged was sta
TONED for about q year at Libby prison.
Richmond, Va. and during that entire
period Mr.: John Bagrar. a weli-known
baker OF that city, furnished bread for the
company. receiving no other Compensation
than the S3 1-3 per cent mentioned; and Il
Is frcm that source and on that computation
that the various forts and garrisons of the
United States are enabled to keep up a post
fund with which to meet contingencies for
which Congress makes no appropriation
so lar as my experience has gone-and I
have had large one-there Is not a city OF
the size of Washington in the United States

than five bushels OF wheat will make a bar

observed that the Bakers Association pur-

complete reports from the commanders of
the ships engaged In the Boring sea patrol
upon the results attending the experiments
with Pacific coast coal All Of the vessels
had some Of this coal aboard and they
consumed about 10000 tons. The trials
were confined to the Fair Haven and Blue
Canon Goals. and while they were not as
thorough as is deemed necessary to fully
establish the quality Of the coal the re-
suit was very satisfactory as far as dis
closed. Secretary Herbert has determined
to pursue the experiment further and will
cause one of our naval vessels to make
exhaustive tests of the fuel probably using

neighborhood OF 600 people, are utterly

deavorod to get work, but are unable TO dc

GAS a rule the men are of a superior
class Of laboring people, industrious, capa
BILE and steady, and some OF them have
worked for the Pullman company for more
than 10 years. Those who have been given
work can get food, but are still in such ar
impoverished condition that they cannot
help their neighbors If they would. TIL,

cause of this distress. The good people OF
this state cannot allow women and chill

they can toward giving relief to these
people"
Mr.. Pullman replied at length, making
reference to Governor AltRelds declina
tion of the escort of Vice President
Wickes, which fact Mr.. Pullman regretted
He throws the entire responsibility o
the trouble on the men themselves for not
