A SERIES OF REPLIES.
Beef Commissions Verdict Will Answer
Questions Put by the President.

|
Questions Put by the President.
New York. May A special to the
Times from Washington says: From an
administration source it is learned that
the report Of the beef inquiry is a reply
| IN a series of answers to the questions
| put to the members by the president.
| These questions, 1t is known. were not
made until about the last week of the
inquiry. They were presented by the re-
| corder of the board as showing the ex-
pectation of the president. Neither Gen
eral Miles nor Major Lee. his representa-
| tive before the board had heard of the
| questions until they were read just be-
| fore the board was ready to make a re-
! port. Indeed, at a time when it was as
certained that the board had partly made
up its report.
From another source it is ascertained
that the board found that it would be
difficult to make a report that would be
satisfactory unless some such list of ques-
tons was propounded. so as to give the
board an opportunity to make categorical
answers. The board did not possess wide
powers.
General Miles has had the opinion; it
has been repeatedly asserted, that it had
no legal form. 1t was not court of in
quiry, for such courts are called only at
the request of an officer who wishes to be
relieved. The president called it together
as, a sort Of board of survey and in order
that it should respond to his expectations
he sent to its members the questions read
and published The board has so an
sWered the Inquiries of the president, it
is ascertaned, that when the replies of
the board of officers is published it is to
be the last word Of the beef question
The first reply is said to be very volu-
minous, being an account of the method
OF preparing beef for Eket every de-
tail observed by the board inspecting the
different packing establishments having
been gone into. When 1t comes to uues-
tons about inspections there is a call for
fixing the blame for neglect, and it is as
serted to-day that General Wade was
called to the white house to modify some
criticisms considered by the president to
be too severe. If any pointed criticism
OF General Miles is in the report 1t is de-
clared thar It will be found in a reply
toward the end censuring him indirectly
perhaps, for failing to report at once his
observations about the beef supplied to
the army. Still. it Is evident that the
general commanding is not destined to
be very roughly handled, for it is assert
ed at the war department in several Of
fees that there will be no suggestion of
punishment for General Miles
The friends of General Miles are mani
testify anxious lest, after the report is
made he will again open the subject by
renewing the assertions he made first at
Ponce. Porto Rico. 1t does not appear
that General Miles has asserted his inten-
ton to ask congress to make any inquiry
next winter. The report that he contem-
Plates doing so is probably conjecture
for the report has been published and
General ---4es knows positively Just what
1t contains and he is silent on the SUBJ
ject.

nine points, two-thirds of which was af-

a minor extent. The iron and steel stocks,
local transportation shares, Anaconda and

average drop of about three points while

point. With the rally in sugar substan-
tial recoveries occurred elsewhere, par
ticularly in those which were most de-
pressed previously, and the market there
after became dull. Consolidated gas was
well taken, and rose more than three
points. Among the railways. Burlington,
which sells ex-rights tomorrow, displayed
the most strength. There were fractional
advances in continental tobacco, Tennes-
