6roundless Charges Against the
Bureau of Engraving and
prlntinQ.

WASHINGTON, May S.-The sec
retary of the treasury has
made a report to the president on the
charges recently preferred by Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation of Labor, against the con-
duct of the bureau of engraving and
printing under Director Johnson.
Gompers's charges were based large
lyupon the testimony given at the in
vestigatior of the bureau held in 1897.
The secretary of the treasury
fails to find, the charges sus-
tanned in any material degree, either
by the result of the investigation re-
ferred to, or by the work of the bu-
reau since that time.

The Report of the Beef In
quiry Court. Given
Out Today.
IT TAKES BOTH SIDES
And Although Miles Is Mild
w Censured He Will Not
Garry the Matter
Further.

WASHINGTON, May S.-The report
of the court of inquiry, made public to-
day, has not aroused any fierce conten-
tion in official circles. Its miidness of
tone and general disposition to take
both sides of nearly all questions pre-
sented was not entirely unexpected, :,
and the general expression is that q
compromise has been reached, and that
no further proceedings will be taken.
The censure of Gen Miles is not suf-
fciently ffierce" to arouse the resent
ment of that officer and previous
thereats of some of his friends that he
will take the matter before congress, it
he will be willing to drop it, particu-
larly since he has received assurance
that he will not be disturbed in his
position as major general commanding
the army.
WASHINGTON. May S.-Immediately
upon receipt of copies of the beef in
quiry report Gen. Miles was furnished
with one. He carefully discussed it
with friends, but declined to discuss
the finding of the court for publication
merely remarking that he had "no |
comment whatever to make"
It is apparent that General Miles be-
lieves that the courts report does not
change the facts, but there seems to be
3 disposition on his part to let the mat
ter drop although he feels that he has
not heen given iustfce

LONDON. May SIT Is learned that
DR.. Collins, whose trial and sentence
topensl servitude for causing the death
of Mrs. Uzielli created a worldwide
sensation about to years ago, is at Port
land prison in a very precarious state of
health.
He was removed to Portland prison
after completing the usual period of
a months solitary confnem ent, which
is said to have told severely upon his
mental faculties.
At Portland, beyond making bags,
the doctor has not been able to do any
manual labor. If he does not get bet
ter it is surmised that he will be re-
leased before his term expires, about
four years hence.
