But in none of these instances, even where the proper:y was afterward returned to the bureau, wus there any requisition for the property or record made of its removal from the department. The chief of the bureau, Prof. Harrington, testified in the investigation, in substance, that he regarded such action as legitimate on the part of a “high administrative officer,” but as improper on the partof a subordinate. It further appears from the testimony that Captain of the Watch Brannon practiced loan- ing of money at high rates of interest to officers and employes of the bureau, both to those above those below him in rauk, thus = ing his superior dfficers under financial ol tions to hi I find that no inventory has been taken of the property in the weather bureau since the transfer to the Deprriment of Agriculvure, July 1, 1891; that no record of Property is kept in the different rooms or in charge of the various officers of the bureau; that the reports of the property on hand at different times made by the property clerk or disbursiag officer were each rendered without knowledge ‘as to the condition or even the presence of the property reported, or as to the correctness or falsity of the statements madi in inventory directed by me during the in- vestigation on the item of carpets alone disctosed the shortage or absence of five completo unmeasured carpets, used in various offices of the bureau, and 145 yards measured carpet; ’sixty- seven yards of the latter, however, were re- turned after notice on the day of the inventory by the captain of the watch after having been in his private possession and use at nis private residence for more than six months.

It is conceded by some, however, that for the present a smad amount of gold will probably continue to go out, but they feel that the end of this must soon come and the return set in. ‘Tho cause of the present firancial condition is due to the large balance of trade which stands against the United States, the imports far ex- ceeding the exports.
