Garfield is getting into shape the
facts of his investigation of the beef
trust and its methods Of doing bust
ness, and that he will soon lay his re-
port, before the president, who will,
i'll turn submit it to congress for the
information of that body. The prob
ability is that the report will be
ready for the president to send to
congress at the beginning of the com
ing session. There is strong ground
for believing that. Attorney General
Moody will take some action against
the beef trust and possibly against
several other big combinations, that
have been under investigation some
time.

ident. The delegation desired that

enlisted men to man them, which is
more than twice as many men as the
present law provides for.
