THE LYON GLOVE CONTRACTS.
Representative Littauer Said to Have
Been Practically Exonerated.

Secretary Root today received the report
Of Col. Darlington. the inspector general.
who was detailed to investigate the facts in
connection with the contract for army
gloves made with Mr.. E. r. Lyon. and in
which Representative Lucus n. Littauer
OF New York was involved. The Secretary
said he has not examined the report and
will not make its contents public at pres
ent. 1t Is expected that the Secretary will
review the matter and make a statement in
accordance with the facts as found by the
inspector
With the report is 4 copy Of all the testi-
mony taken by Col Darlington regarding
the contract and the business relations OF
Mr.. Littauer with the contractor It Is re-
ported unofficially that the report practi-
cally exonerates Representative Littauer
and the QuartermaSterS connected with the
contract Of the charge of wrongdoing in the
matter.
According to one authority. Representa-
tive Littauer admitted he was connected
with the firm that manufactured the gloves
with which Lyon filled his contract. but
denied he had any pecuniary interest In the
contract other than as the manufacturer of
the articles. and asserted his interest was
nothing more than that which any member
of Congress might display in looking aftef
the interests OF one OF his constituents.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
SALISBURY, N. c., July %. 1903.
While cleaning out an old tar tank a
few days ago. which had been the property
of the city of Salisbury for over fifty
years. workmen made some very interest
ing discoveries This tank, which Is now
as the city gas plant. had not been In use
for some time. but recent demand
brought it into service again.
When the workmen began to clean the
tank they found therein four musket bar
rels, in good condition; a six-inch cannon
ball. a nine-inch shell. a confederate mus
ket in excellent shooting condition, a
breech-loading musket. a sword, saber,
numerous mimic balls and four confeder-
ate bayonets, all in perfect order though
showing the signs Of age. Tar In which
the CurioSitieS were embedded had acted
as a splendid preventative.
While it is not definitely known how these
things found their way to this strange
hiding place, 1t is presumed they were hid
den there during the civil war. when
federal prison of war was maintained at
Salisbury, and which is still of historic
interest One of the old muskets found
