Nov. 30.—Wyberg. of the Ault £ Wadborg Printing ink manu facturing firm, this morning declares- Bristow's report is entirely unjust to Heath. He says Heath and Louis should have left the position for the selection of inks. Also says the statement made in Bristow’s report that Heath bought stamps for cancelling to the amount of 814.000 in one year is not true, as the greatest amount ever sold in one year amounted to 810,000. He admit* the price paid to be sev cral cents higher per earh stamp that that paid heretofore, but says thai they could not be gotten for less; and also claims the inks, while the g>>v ernment paid an Increased price io: them, are absolutely indelible, which in itself saves tae government thous ands of dollars each year by effect ively preventing the reuse ot stamps Motion to Dismi«« Appeal.
