Special.?The report of the United States commission on the investigation upon the disaster to the steamer General Slocum, appointed .

In connection with the important findings of the commissions presented in the report, President Roosevelt, to whom the report was submitted, has written a letter to Secretary Victor H. Metcalf, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, briefly summarizing ! the report and directing him to carry into eU'ect the recommendations of the commission. He also directs the Robert S. Rodic, supervising inspector of Lhc second district steamboat inspection service, and James A. Dumont and Ihomas H. Barrett, local inspectors in charge of the port of New York, be discharged from the service, the commission holding them directly responsible for the laxity of the steamboat ihspec- 1 lien to which the Slocum disaster was directly attributed. Commissioner Uhler dissents to that portion of the report which places the responsibility on the supervision inspector of the second district, Robert S. Rodie; otherwise, he concurs with the commission. Appended to the report is a report from the Department of Justice and criminal proceedings connected with the disaster and the iife preservers cases. ?^.TT^rivTi- T-irur Tilli 1 o ? iu .? . The President's letter to Secretary Metcalf follows: ' White House, Washington, D. C., Oct12. 1904. "My Dear Sir: I have received the report of the Commission of the United States on the investigation of the General Slocum disaster and the report of the Department of Justice on October 12th, recipulating what has been done by the department of Justice in connection with the criminal proceedings taken against various individuals because of their connection with the disaster. I send you herewith both reports. Punitive action by the government can, of course, only take two forms; that of legal _ proceedings against those either within or without the sendee. It appears that the Department of Justice has already secured indictments against the master and captain of the Slocum and against the managing directors of the Knickerbocker Steamboat Company, to which company the steamer belonged, for misconduct, negligence, ahd inattention to duty by the captain, and for aiding and abetting therein by the managing directors. Furthermore, the Department or justice nas acvuicu m . dictments against Henry Lundbcrg and John W. Fleming, the assistant inspec tors of the steamboat inspection service, who actually inspected the Siocum, for fraud, misconduct, and inattention to duty. Lundburg had been appointed merely on pobation in the service and has been dropped. There can, of course, be no further action about Fleming until his trial has been finished, although it does not follow that an acquittal would prevent the Department from discharging him from the service. In addition, the Department of Justice has secured the indictment of the manager and three employes of the Nonpareil Cork works, of Camden, N. J., for putting upon the market compressed cork blocks for use in making life preservers, each of which blocks contained' in its center a bar of Iron weighing several ounces. This last offense was of so heinous o niinrflrter that is is difficult to com raent upon it with proper self-restraint It appears that the national legislature has never enacted a law providing in set terms for the punishment of this particular species of infamy, doubtless because it never entered the head of any man that so gross an infamy could he perpetrated. I suggest that you report this whole matter to Congress, transmitting these two reports, and at that time calling special attention the reed of imposing an adequate penalty for the making or selling of defective life-saving appliances. REMOVAL OF DELINQUENT OFFICIALS. "So much for what the Department of Justice has done in reference to the ciisastc:*. But in addition 10 the men put on trial l?y the Department of Justice, action should be taken against those employes whose responsibility for the state of things producing the accident has been brought into the re port of the commission. According to this report it appears that in addition to the two assistant inspectors who are now on trial, the supervising inspector , t:f the second district. Mr. flodie. and the two local inspcc tors of the port of New York. Messrs. Duroont and Barrett. should all three he removed for laxity ami neglect in performing their duties As regards the conduct of Mr. Rnaie. Mr. Uhler dissents from the con (iution of the fo::r otber commission-. err,. I agree with the conclusion of the otber four. Laxity anil neglect, where I he consequences may be so terrible as they have proved to he in this case. I cannot be passed over, even where 'there has been good conduct in other respects on the part of the man implicated. Accordingly, the three officials ramcd will be removed from the service. Moreover, you will please direct their successors in office at. once to conduct a thorough examination of the entire inspection force of the port of New York, with the object of weeding oat nil the men whom such examination r-hall show to be unfitted to perform the very arduous and responsible duties of their positions. The supervising inspector general has at present no headquarters force of special agents, so that it is very difficult for him to exercise any adequate and direct supervision over the various local divisions of' the inspection service. In each division he must rely cbieCy on Qe fidelity and energy of the local heads, and when those fail to perform their duties they must be held accountable. He must, however, exercise as thoroughly a supervision as the means at this disposal fdlow. In order that I may be informed as to the exact condition of the service in all its parts, I direct you to order a searching investigation in consequence o? the investigation of the commission into the conduct of the cen tral office and of every outside sunaivjpion of the service save that in New York. "You will also make such changes in the regulations as are recommended by the commission, and you will therefore call a special meeting of the board of supervising inspectors for this purpose. You will also lay before the Congress a request that the law be changed in the various particulars recommended by the commission. I wish particular emphasis laid upon the proposal of the commission that there be created by a law a special body thoroughly to investigate the laws which arc supposedto provide for the safety of passengers on steamboats, and especially on excursion boats, where the prime causes of danger are the overcrowding and the flimsy and highly inflammable character of superstructures.

The main armies of Russia and Japan in Manchuria continue to be engaged in a desperate struggle for supremacy south of Mukden. On both sides there have been such lesser, in killed and wounded as mark the contest for one of losses in killed and wounded. Already the losses at Lia?> Yang have been approximated ancl the indications are that they will be exceeded, that of the Russians up to rocn of October 14 being estimated at 15,000. The Russian advance has been converted into a stubbornlyfought retreat. The? result, according to the Russians, is still to be determined. Reports from the Russian left wing are lacking, leaving room for question if part of General Kuro- , paiKin o a nay is nui m wuiau ciuiun?ty than tho centro and right were at any stage of the battle On both sides the soldiers have shown the utmost tenacity and bravery and whole regiments have go^e down before the- % fire of the enemy. In official circles, m St. Petersburg there is a disposition to argue that even should General Kuropatkin be obliged to retire upon Mukden his position will be quito as favorable ds It was when the crdcr to advance was given on October 6; and that on the other hand the Japanese powers of future resistance will have been materially weakened. Thero is no news from Port Arthur. . . Gloom in St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg, By Cable.?The great feeling of concern which exists in circles in the Russian capital by no meas equals the foreboding of coming disaster pervading tho general public, which is indulging in the deepest pessimism. In the absence of official news, the publec is being fed on the v/ildest rumors of defeat suffered by General Kuropatkin. The fact that nc word regarding the battle has been officially given out only confirms tho popular fear. The explanation offered that it was a holiday does not suffice to ally the apprehension. General Kuropatkin's report of tho ' result of the day's operations has reached Emperor Nicholas at Tasarkoe Selo, but it had not been returned hr>rp hefore the war commission. which sat only until 9 o'clock, had adjourned. The Emperor himself Is represented 33 being bitterly disappointed, and spending hours with his cabinet, studying out, with the help or his military aids, the reports of tho battle. The general staff, however, by no means despairs. Though admitting that the tide In the last two days has been against General Kuropatkin, the general staff says the battle is not yet over, and that in any event there is no question of a rout The depressing feature of the situ-x. ation Is that everyone Is willing to believe the worst. Thus, reports from Tokio and elsewhere, stating that the Japanese are advancing and that tho Russians are falling back are accepted with faith based 'upon the previous Russian retreat. Naturally many reports are current as to tbe genesis of the forward movement. It is freely stated that General Kuropatkin was forced into taking the offensive by uressure by the author! ties here. This has been officially denied, and as General Kuropatftin's order to advance was given over his own signature, it seems likely that he will have to bear all the responsibility, whether the situation Is of his own making or not. Friends of General Kuropatkin said the present offensive movement was inspired from St. Petersburg, a3 was doubtless General Stakelberg'g move ment for the relief of Port Arthur, and that if Kuropatkin's star has set, others higher than he are responsible. At tbo same time, tho supporters of General Kuropatkin argue that, whatever may be the direct outcome of the past few days' lighting, it is not * ?4 ?? A I rt r% r? likely to DO an irrciriuvauie uiaoaiw. to the Russian araiy. Dispatches from the front give a vivid picture of the desperate character of the fighting along the whole line. The Rusian plainsmen have been again forced to engage in hill fighting, which is little ti their liking. There have been desperate and repeated attacks upon almost inacessible positions, which leave no question of the resolution and gallantry of the Russian forces. Guns have been captured and re captured in fierce hand-to-hand conflicts. The latest word directly from ibe field of battle is the Mukden dispatch tu the Associated Press, in which it is stated that 15.000 Rusians had been wounded, which, together with the day's casualties, would make the total probably exceed the figures of Ltao Yang, and make the fight rank as one of the bloodiest battles in history. . < Medical Association Meets.
