TWO REPORTS,

Presented to The House of Repre-
SentatiVeS.

Washington, January 31.-Represent-
alive Charles W. Stone. of Pennsylva-
MIA, submitted TO the House to-day his
report TO accompany the Hill bill. The
report says the bin contains an affirm

of the note issue from the fiscal branch

The minority report says the bin VIII

port, fixes absolutely and uuQuahtiedly
the single gold standard upon the country.
All of the standard silver dollars are
swept from their present position as
standard money and into the category Of
credit money and made a charge upon
the government for their redemption in
gold. The provision repeating the laws
which prohibits national banking associa-

New York, January 31.-Gen Nelson
A. Miles gave out a statement tonight
after having denied several published
interviews attributed to him. He pre-
faced his statement by saying:
Il have been most freely quoted
without authority from me or without
any utterance on my part. 1t has been
a source of great annoyance to me-"
His statement is as follows:
ION the 10Th of last September, 1 issued
an order to regimental commanders to
report to me concerning the beef which
had been issued to their men. At the
time that l went before the war board in
vestigation commission, l had only receiv-
ed reports from fourteen of the command
ers. Now l have thirty reports. They
all tell the same story. The evidence
proves the truth of the statements which
L made. In addition to the reports of the
regimental commanders, 1 have a great
mass of evidence, consisting of commune
cations, affidavits. etc, from officers, SOL
diers and civilians Every part of the
country has contributed to the mass of
correspondence which 1 have received in
reference to the beef served to our soldiers
and the evidence is ali corroborative of
what | have said. The great publicity
which the press has given to the matter,
has brought all the correspondence of
which L speak upon me.
Il have Overwhelming evidence that the
embalmed beef was treated with chem
icals in order to preserve it. | have affi-
davits from men who saw the beef under
going the treatment, or embalming pro-
cess.
Now, as to the canned roast beef, that
was different from embalmed beef. The
canned roast beef was the beef after the
extract had been boiled out of it. You
have seen the advertisements: Beef Ex
tract; one pound contains the substance
of from four to five pounds of prime
beefr Well, this is the beef after the ex-
tract has been taken from it. They put
this beef pulp in cans and label it Can
ned roast beef The soldiers report that
the canned beef was mauseating. II
swallowed, it could not be kept on the
stomach
1t was pointed out to Gen Miles that
he had beer qucted as having CAD That
if the men who supplied the beef would
deposit a thousand dollars in such a way
that it could not be made to pay the cost
of the proceedings, he would furnish abso-
lutte proof of his assertion. He was asked
what tribunal he had in mind, or to whom
he would furnish this proof, and in reply
said:
Il made that statement in response to
the offer of the beef men to pay 500, 0000
for evidence of the truth of any allega-
tons against their product / looked on
their offer as bluff and took that way Of
answering it. | have no tribunal in mind.
| have the greatest abundance of evidence
to support the charges l made, and do
not think that any part of the thousand
dollars need be spent in more investiga-
ton"
Gen. Miles has received a telegram from
Col. A A. Pope, of Boston, requesting
Gen. Miles to draw on him for $1,000 to
prove that chemicals were used to en-
balm beef furnished to soldiers, but his
offer will not be accepted for the reasons
already given.

The West Virginia Herald has followed
the same course as many other Charles
ton newspaper ventures. 1t went up like
a rocket, and came down like the stick.
The Herald cut out a fast pace for a
time, and was reported to be backed UP
with all kinds of money. Reports that it
was started for certain purposes have
been denied by attaches of the paper, who
allege that it was legitimate newspaper
venture. Republican in politics, it fought
Scott with a degree of bitterness which
closely bordered upon injustice. A few
days ago there was a row. a riot, and al
rumpus in the Herald sanctum, and there
have since been threats and counter
threats. Theodore Burkham was ouste{
from the position of president and mari
ager, and has brought an action for DAM
ages in the amount of $4,000 against 7
G. McKell, who was putting up the money
for the venture. The Daily Herald started
the first of the year, and has already been
discontinued. Now it is given out SEMI
officially that the Sunday Herald willy

the American Twice in an Hour.
ST. Paul. Mimi, January 31.-Danny
Mcleod, champion catch-as-c atch-can
wrestler of America. won his match
with Hall Adali, the gigantic Turkish
wrestler, tonight, and gave him sixty
minutes of as hot wrestling as has
ever been seen.
The match was under the auspices
of the st. Paul A. c., the conditions
being that Hall Adali should throw
Mcleod twice in an hour or forfeit
$1,000.
Mcleod started on the offensive. The
| Turk, however, soon had his man on
the floor and then ensued a desperate
struggle for a fall. Mcleod was as
quick as a cat and as slippery as an
eel, and broke away from the Turk a
number of times, once breaking a hold
which it seemed must floor him. He
got on his feet, made dive at his adj
versary, and amid the cheers Of the
crowd was on the Turks back. But
Adali was too quick for him and soon
Mcleod was underneath. Finally, af-
ter n minutes and 16 second Adali so-
cured a half Nelson and forced Nc
Leod' S shoulders down by sheer weight.
In the second bout Mcleod assumed
the defensive and by his superior agil-
ity kept the turk on his feet for about
20 minutes Of the time, although there
was an occasional mix-up. In the last
ten minutes Mcleod again assumed the
offensive and kept the TI1nbusy all

throw Mcleod, but in Ahim-
