vestlsatlon of the bureau held In 1SD7. The secretary cf the treasury falls to flnd;the charges sustained In any material degree either by the result of the Investigation referred to or by the work of the bureau since that time." The complaints made and the substance of the report upon them Is as follows: . "First Incompetency. Not thown by the work of tne bureau. The specific acts allied a Incompetent were in obedience to proper authorization "Second Violation of the civil-service law. Charge not sustained, the official having no authority to appoint or discharge. "Third Misuse 'of government fundi. The alleged irregularities were merely technical violations of regulations and occurred more than two years prior to the recent Investigation. ; . . . "Fourth Extending undue advantages in the matter of letting contracts for supplies of the bureau. No -evidence of Improper motive on the part of the director. Since the investigation, however, the method of letting contracts has been changed, with the hearty co-operation of the director, the advisability of which action will be determined by future developments. "P'ifth Unfair and tyrannical treatment of employes. Charge not supported by the facts found to exist in the several cases rrtntloned." Adjutant General Corbln did not care to dlscus3 the. Interview of Governor Thomas, of Colorado, to-day further than to say that already orders had been Issued for the return of the volunteers In the Philippines, and that they would come home as fast as transportation could be provided. General' Corbln says he has written a letter to Governor Thomas which explain the whole situation. This letter will no doubt be received by the Governor to-day. The general would not make it public, but he had no objections to the Governor doing so when received. It Is possible, some of the War Department officials say, that the Governor may be able to Ret the question of the right of the United States to use the volunteers In foreign countries In the courts through th medium of habeas corpus proceedings. This might be done on the allegation that the volunteers are held against their wishes. War Department officiate say it would be easy to prove by the orders which have been Issued that all the volunteers were perfectly free to ask for and obtain their discharge when the treaty of peace was signed. There is no doubt, the authorities fay, that the Governor would lose his case if brought on this point, but regard habeas corpus proceedings as the only course open to him.

J2ll,01S,87t. Hon. Joseph T. McDonough, secretary of state of New York, and, for seme years, commissioner of labor in that State, was before the industrial commission to-day. JIcDonough's testimony dealt with the improvement due to the amendment of the state Constitution taking Ufa products of prison labor out of the open market. He said the change had benefited the State and It had reduced the number of prisoners in the state penitentiary. Under the old system of letting the prison labor out on' contract tho contractors were in the habit of offering rewards to an much as $200 for longterm prisoners, in good condition. Under the new order of things, such condition could not exist. So far as it had been tried the new system was an improvement In many respects. Mr. McDonough said that prison labor products should be Identified as such and their transportation between States should be prohibited by congressional enactment. Ex-President Adolph Strasser, of the International Cigar Makers' Union, who was before the commission at Its afternoon session, opposed the incorporation of the trades unions on the ground that by incorporating . they would render themselves IIabte to te brought Into the courts, "and." he said, "we can't expect Justice at th hands of the courts."

Charier Johnson Unable to Stand Before Joe Wolcott. PHILADELPHIA, May 8.-Joe Walcott, of Boston, to-night practically knocked out Charley Johnson, of this city, in the tenth round of what was to have been a fifteenround fight at the Ariel Athletic Club, Athens, a suburb of this city. Johnson was in no condition to fight, and was completely outclassed by his colored opponent, whD was in prime condition. During the entire ten rounds Johnson made but five leads and landed but three times. The worst damage he did was to split Walcott's Hp in the first round, when the colored fighter. In ducking one of Johnson's swings, received an upper cut. After that he did no damage at all, and merely tried to stand off the fighting. Tho latter administered severe punishment to Johnson, whose ribs were almost raw from the terrific hammering he received. The Boston man kept constantly jabbing the Pnilldelphlan with his left, and was always on the lookout for a chance to deliver a knock-out blow. He knocked Johnson down in the first and eighth rounds. When Johnson' cam up for the ninth round he was very groggj-, but managed to stay the round out. In the tenth Walcott began playing for his head, and in the middle of the round sent Johnson against the ropes. The referee separated tho men, and as he did so Johnson's hands fell to his side. The referee asked him if he wanted to go rii. and Johnson replied, "What's the use? I'm ail murdered up." The referee then awarded the fight to Walcott. "World's Shooting Record Broken.

The Times to-morrow will say: "The New York members of the Society of the Sons of . the American Revolution are to have an opportunity of expressing their disapproval of the action of the Michigan society in inviting Secretary of War Alger to a dinner In Detroit May 2 and converting the occasion into a demonstration In favor of Mr. Alger.

Especially does It condemn any attempt to vindicate tho reputations of public officials or to com pllment those who have been accused of unpatriotic neglect of our soldiers, who exposed their lives for our country. " 'The first duty of all patriotic societies is to assist, protect and uphold the armies of the Nation and to aid in giving them all the support that the resources of the country can command. This society claims Its part in puch patriotic duty and repudiates with indignation the flippant sentiment that. 'Supposing they had a little spoiled beef," what of It?' or that. In supplying them with food, it was not necessary to be particular as to quality. The society looks with horror upon officials who can express such sentiments, or who, having the entire resources of this wealthy country at command, not only furnished our soldiers with a little spoiled beef,' but gave them little else, even In the home camps, where good food In abundance was everywhere at hand, and who aiso failed to supply them with suitable clothing, shelter and medicine.

DEAD MAN'S ISLAND DISPUTE Chicago 31111 Man Defies Vnnconver Authorities and Iteelns YArk. VANCOUVER, B. C, May 8. The Dead Man's island controversy has taken another turn.

Every once in a while the newspaper tell of fotne once beautiful woman who has been consigned to an asylum, because physical weakness drove her to seek temporary strength ia the alcholic mixtures that are found on many women's toilet tables. The story is an old. but evernew one. A woman finds herself suflerinjf from weakness, ncrvousnes. de stond-nc and irritability. She cannot divine the cause, and her family physician seems equally at loss. A friend who suffers in the same way tells her that a wee drop of cologne, brandy drops, ale, beer, "malt-extracts" or other stimulant will give temporary relief. And that is the beginning that ends in a madhouse. The woman who suffers from the symptoms described may safely infer that there exists disease or at'least weakness of the delicate organs that constitute her a woman. Dr. rierce's Favorite Prescription, which contains no alcohol or other stimulant to inebriate, will promptly put things right, and make her strong and healthy in a womanly way. It does away with necessity for obnoxious ex aminations and local treatment. It cures in the privacy of the home. It gives vigor and virility to the organs upon which depends the perpetuation of the human race. Mrs. II. A. Alsbrook, of Austin. Lonoke Co., Ark., writes : : 'After five mouths of great suffering I write this for the benefit of other suf. fcrers from the same affliction. I doctored with our family physician without any good result, no my husband urged me to try Dr. Pierce's medicines which I did, with wonderful results. I am completely cured. I took four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, four of his Golden Medical Discovery ' and two vials of his ' Keasant Pellets. " Constipation kills slowly. Dr. Pierce.'!
