NOT YET READY.
Mr.. Bristow's Report Will Probably Be
Finished This Week.

Careful observers of the conditions in the
Post Office Department are Of the general
opinion that the report of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow on the result
of his elaborate investigation into all the
charges and irregularities in that depart
ment will give little no credit to First
Assistant Wynne for his initiative action
in the case, but will name the Postmaster
General the official to whom the praise
is due for setting in motion the machinery
which has laid bare the facts in the now
famous scandal
The Postmaster General and Mr. Bristow
were In close consultation in the Office of
the former until late hour last evening,
and the report was not at that time nearly
ready for transmission to the President
through the head Of the department, va
rious portions requiring further checking
and verificatiOn before the document could
be said to be completed.
1t will probably be finished this week
possibly this evening or tomorrow but even
Mr.. Brfstow has said that he cannot tell
when the final touches will have been made
and the volumlnous document pronounced
complete.
Hints have gone abroad that It will be
ready for transmission to the President in
time for discussion at the meeting of the
cabinet Friday. but this is by no means
officially announced.

THE STERN HEARING
INSPECTOR MAYER AGAIN ON
WITNESS STAND.
Cross by Defendant
Counsel-The Contract With
Boyle & Co.

Hearing of the case in the Police Court
against Leopold j. Stern on a charge of
false pretenses In connection with the Post
Office investigation. which was continued
from yesterday until today, was set for 1
o'clock. Because of the large amount of
regular business it was O. clock before the
Stern case was called.
Inspector Mayer, who was on the stand
at the end of yesterdays session. was re-
called today for cross-examination by the
defendants counsel. In answer to a ques-
ton he said that Boyle & Co. of New York,
who in 1893 had contract with the Post
Office Department similar to the one made
by Stern. were not compelled to provide
shoulder straps, but that the government
provided them
He said that A. w. Machen knew that
Boyle & Co. were not supplying the straps
but We're using the Lamb straps by direc-
ton of the department.
Lamb Mr.. Mayer explained, soon after
Stern got the contract, was instructed to
furnish the latter with 5000 of their straps
An Alleged Conversation.
Inspector Mayer, who was on the stand
in the Stern case when The Stars report
closed yesterday afternoon, had not con-
Guided his evidence at o'clock, when an
adjournment was taken until l o'clock to-
day. The witness told of conversation he
had with the defendant at the latter's
place of business in Baltimore, during
which he said Stern acknowledged having
but one contract with the government for
the furnishing of satchels, and that this
contract called for a certain kind of strap
to be placed on the satchels. On cross
examination the attorney for the defense
brought out the admission that Stern had
claimed that he secured the permission of
two postal officials to furnish the satchels
without straps.
Before an adjournment was taken counsel
for the defendant argued for a reduction
of bond from 5000 to 5000 or 1900, but
the prosecuting attorney opposed the re-
quest. and Judge Scott decided to let the
security remain at 5000. the amount orig
iEaIly fixed.

CAPT. LEMLY COMMENTS.
Petition Regarding the Prison Ship
Southery Referred to Him.

Captain Goodrich. commandant of the
navy yard. Portsmouth, N. H. recently
transmitted to the Navy Department a
petition signed by several officers at that
yard asking for the removal of the prison
ship Southery, used for the confinement of
naval prisoners. The alleged basis for the
request is that the presence of vessel Of
that character among regular warships was
unpleasant to the officers on board the
latter. 1t appears that some of them con-
Sidered it undignified to have their YES
sells anchored alongside of prison ship.
The petition having been referred to
Judge Advocate General Lemly. he has pre-
pared letter calling attention to the fact
that the Southery has been at the Ports
mouth yard for about SIX months. and
that as there is plenty of anchorage room
there 1t does not appear to be necessary for
the regular warship to anchor alongside
the prison ship unless it chooses to do so.
He also says that 1t hardly seems proper
for officers of the navy to interfere with the
regular operations of the service, one Of
the tenets of a naval officer being to assist.
rather than obstruct, the business Of the
department.

Senate, and served as such until 1889, when
he was appointed lieutenant in the army
His record in the army was excellent and
he was commended by Gen. Worth for his

president. He was appointed clerk in
the War Department in 1862. and served

modest withal that few knew his acquire
ments. His knowledge of our language was
remarkable, as shown by the official paper
that emanated from him. A gentleman of
the old school, a consistent Christian. hon
est, laborious, just to all, ever ready with
kindly advice or assistance to encourage
the young living more than four score and
three years, he dies leaving only friends be-
hind him.
