Boston, Sept. Il, -Liverpool opened from

that the opening advance was due en-
ttrely to the steadier tone at the close of
the American markets yesterday. The
closing there was practically unchanged
In New York wheat opened stronger than
IN the west, helped by the cables and by
foreign buying; cable acceptances also
were said to be surprisingly large and the
local crowd a little short. In Chicago
wheat opened firm, with trade rather
active, and local receipts moderate in

WAsHlNG7oN, May "a very close
friend of General Miles, and an officer
Of the army, when asked if there was
anything for the general to say or do in
regard to tbs report of the beef board,
replied:
There is nothing for him to say or
do. The report has been approved by
the president, and the president is the
commander.in-chief of the army. Crit
icism of the report or any other action
would he in violation of military duty"
Inquiry was made as to the status of
officers criticized and what course they
might pursue, and it was stated that as
military legal proposition it was i'm
possible for any action to be taken by
any Of the officers aggrieved. They
might demand a court of inquiry, nut
this was court of inquiry which rec
commended that no further action be
taken: this being approved by the pres
ident, precluded any further inquiry.
General Eagan. who is specified in the
report. is not likely to ask for any fur
ther investigation. But Colonel Maus
Of General Miles staff, the other officer
critized, feels it keenly. His friends say
he was among the witnesses whom
General Miles asked to be called and
was not called by the court.

Report Of the Beef Inquiry Board Blames
Them But Exoncrates Contractors.
WASHINGTON. May BY direction
Of the president. who approves the find
inys. Acting Secretary of War Meikle-
john has made public the report and
findings of the military court appointed
TO investigate the charges made by
Major General Miles, commanding the
army. that the beef supplied to the
army during the war with Spain was
unfit for the use of the troops. The
most important features of the report
are:
The findings that the generals allie.
cations that the refrigerated beef was
treated with chemicals were not estab-
lished that his allegations concerning
the canned fresh or canned roast beef
Were sustained as to its unsuitability
for food as used on the transports and
as a long continued field ration: censure
Of General Miles for "error" in failure
to promptly notify the secretary of war
when he first formed the opinion that
the food was unfit; censure Of the COM
mssary general (then General Eagan)
for the too extensive purchases of the
canned beef as an untried ration.
Adverse to Further Proceedings.
That the allegations Of General Miles
that the refrigerated beef was
piled to the army was of the same quail
i,y as that supplied to the trade gener-
ally, and the recommendation is that
no further proceedings be taken in the
premises.
The conclusion Of the court. adverse
TO further proceedings based upon the
charges. is as follows:
1T has been developed in the course
of the inquiry. as recited in this report,
that in some instances some individuals
failed to perform their full duty or to
observe the proprieties which dignity
high military command. but the court
is of the opinion that the mere state
ment in the official report of the facts
developed meets the ends of discipline
and that the interests of the service will
be best subserved if further proceedings
be not taken
There is more or less criticism Of
General Miles in various parts of the
report. Probably the most direct in
stance is the following:
General Miles Action Uujustifsble.
1.-THE court finds that against none Of
the officers commanding corps, divi-
eions, brigades and regiments and their
staff officers should charge of guilt be
brought.
1.-The court also finds that the major
general commanding the army had no
sufficient justification for alleging that
the refrigerated beef was embaliped or
