Major Hains’ Plan of Improvement— Elis Report to the Secretary of War— The Proposed New Harbor Lines— The Filling of the Fiats_Estimates as to the Cost of the Work, Major Hains has submitted the following plan of Improving the Potomac flats to the chief of engi- neers, Who has approved {t and submitted It to the Secretary of War, with the recommendation that the work be done by contract with the lowest bid- der, after due advertisement for proposals, The plan was yesterday approved by Secretary Lin- coln. Itts as follows: “Three objects are to be accomplished by the proposed improvement: The improvement of nav- igation, the establishment of harbor lines, and the ralsing’of the flats, The first of these objects 1s tobe accomplished by dredging a channel from Easby’s Polit, near Georgetown, to near Glesboro Point, below the arsenal, and from Glesboro Point to Long britge in the’ Washington channel of such a width and depth as will accommodate the largest class of vessels that can reach Glesboro Point. A depth of 20 feet at low tide will enable vessels drawing 2 feet to reach Georgetown or Washington, and this depth 15 belleved to ample. ‘The raising of thé flats and closing of the Washington channel at foot of 1th street will contract the tidal compartment of the river, and render it necessary to give such width to thc Georgetown channel _as will provide for the t creased discharge. The least sectional area low tide should be not less than 25,000 square feet. which fs alittle more than the area ot the two channels combined. High water section should be 82,875 square feet, and freshet section not less than 43,000 5 re feet. In order to provide these sectional areas It will be necessary to cut off about 400 feet of Alexander's island, at the south end of Long bridge, where the area of discharge least. ‘This should’ be done at an early stage the work and before the revetment walls of the raised land are bullt. ‘The position of the proposed dredged channels are approxunateiy shown in the accompanying map. The excayation required {3 as follows: In Georgetown channel, 6,259,570 cuble yards; in Washington channel, 1,723,792 cuble yard: south end of Long bridge, 800,000 cubie yards. To- tal, 8,283,362 cubic yards. Additional material required for filling in the flats may be taken from the shoal near the pro- posed bulkhead wall on the upper side of Long ridge and from other sources. It may even be desirable to increase the depth of water on this shoal, if therlyer does not itselt deepen tt when contracted to the width proposed. ‘The remains -of the old railroad bridge alongside the bridge now used should be removed, as they retard to some extent at least the flow of water, and are particu- larly objectionable in the winter or spring, when the Ice runs, tending to stop its flow and form a gorge, as Was the case In 1881. THE PROPOSED HARBOR LINES may be described as follows:—Tne bulkhead will commence near Easby’s wharf, and extend in a curved line to a point at or near the southerly end of the causeway of Long bridge, thence contin- uing to a point at the intersection of the Wash- Ington and Georgetown channels below the wharf of the United States arsenal, thence returning along the westerly side of the Washington chan- nel in front of the city wharves, and about 800 feet distant from them to Long bridge. head line adjacent to the city from 14th Greenleat’s Point {s of Irregular form, and follows along the tuner end of the wharves from Mth street to the arsenal. ‘There seems to be no ne- ity for making any changes in {t at this ume, but it should ultimately be toconform to some plan. Between it and wharf line only pile wharves should be allowed to be butit, in order to obstruct as little as possible the flow of wate Changes in this buikhead may necessitate some changes In existing wharves and a conflict with private Interests At the present tliue nothing need be done. . Additional Information is needed, and further consideration should be given to the subject before any action istaken. The limiting line for wharves, beyond which none should be allowed to extend, will commence at the southeast corner of Easby wharf, following the general atre on of the bull head line, but gradually receding from it until it is at “a distance of four hundred fect; theace following in curve parallel to tt until near the €asterly end of the bulkhe: thence ft will gradually approach ft again until a the end ft will be 200 feet; thence following the eneral direction of the bulkhead toward Long ridge, but receding gradually until 1 1s 300 feet from it; thence following the direction of the bulkhead at that distance from tt to Long brid; The Muntting whart line on the north and east side of the Washington channel 1s described as follows:—Commencing at a point ‘; feet outside made the southwest corner of Riggs’ wharf, running thence in a straight Ilne to a point 15 fect outside the southwest corner of the lower wharf of the Great Falls Ice Company; thence in a straight Une to a point 25 fect outside the southwest corner of Evans’ stone wharf; thence in a straight line to a point 25 feet outside the nort west corner of the third wharf below the Alexandria Ferry Company’s slips; thence in a straight line to the Southwest corner of the wharf of the Inland and Seaboard Coasting Company, and continuing to a point 140 feet below the first angle in the arsenal wall. and 22) feet west of sald wall; thence to a point 180 feet outside the arsenal wall’ at the site of the old penitentlary wha thence to a point ten feet west of the northwest corner of the arsenal wharf; thence to a terminal point at the Intersection of this harbor Mne with those of the Eastern branch, as may be hereafter established. Along the Washington front no wharves extend beyond the lines as thus laid down, nor should any be allowed to do so. THE RAISING OF THE FLATS will be accomplished by depositing on them the materlal taken from the dredged channels, and such other material as it may be expedient to take from other places. The grade of that portion of the area to be reclaimed above Long bridge should be three feet above the freshet slope of 1877, that 45 15.5 feet above low tide at Eusby’s wharf, and 13.18 feet at the outlet of the sewer canal, and 12.06 feet at Long bridge. The area below Long bridge should be ratsed toa grade of 6 {feet above low Ude, and protected from overflow by an embank- ment around its edge. The top of the embank- ment should be 13.06 feet ubove low tide at the bridge, and 11.43 feet at its lower end near the arsenal. For convenlence of refer- ence tn déscussing the project, let us divide the flats Into three sections. ‘The first section to be that portion lying between Easby’s Polnt and the sewer canal; the second or middle section that lying between this sewer canal and Long bridge: the third and last section that lying below Long bridge. ‘The areas to be reclaimed are as follow: Area above Long bridge, 420 acres, of which about 127 acres will be occupied by lakes, the exact form and location of which are to be de- termined. Area below the bridge, 330 acres. ‘Total area to be reclatmed, 750 acres. ’ The amount of material required to fil each section to the re- juired grade, including the embankment in sec- ton 8, 18 as ‘follows: “Section 1, 8,596,740 cubic yards; section 2, 4,068,463 “cubic yards; section 3, Aone 455 cublc yards; total, 12,829,008 cuble yards, ‘This amount should be reduced 337,000 cubic yards for work already done or to be done under other contracts, leaving in round numbers about 12,000,000 cubic yards to be supplied. Of this amount the dredgings of the channel and the ex. cavation at the south end of the Long bridge will supply 8,288,882 cule. yards. ‘The aredgings from the lakes in section 2 Will supply 1,824,090 cubic yards, leaving a remainder of about 1,893,548 cubic Yards to be supplied from other sources, THE OUTSIDE EDGE of the reclaimed area, as well as the lakes in sec- tion II, should be protected by a wall resting on a pile and grillage foundation at the levelof low tide. Between the piles, and on each side of them, loose stone should be tirrown in. to the land of low tide. In places along the line of the bulkhead the les may perhaps be di the walls in at case Testing on the Bpsene eget but the ground on which the rip-raj rest being quite Soft, piles and grillage may be necessary for near- ly the whole length of the wall, though the latter will not be heavy. Further examinations are necessary to determine this, Inlet tes shoul be provided to supply ie lakes with fresh water on-each rise of the tide and outlet gates to disc it on the ebb tide. ‘The details of their construction requires further study, and will be made the subject of a more de- talled' report. The drainage of section IIL should be done by means of plies with autguadis valves 08 the out side to stop the inflow of water, but to allow its outflow. Valves worked hy hand should be ar- ranged atthe inner end of the drain pipes, and should be closed di freshets. Surface drain- feo can be applied the areas above Long THE ESTIMATED COST of the work 1s as follows: 10,107,452 cubic yards of material taken from dredged channels and lakes at 18 cents, $1,819,841; 1,892,548 cubic yards from otffer sources at 18. $340,658; revetment mall of reclaimed area, lakes, $66,000; mated by the late Major Twining, 5 71 estim: but the board Somewhat in exooas Gt's250,00, that the work can be done at a lower ficure, un- less a contract could be made for at least one-half of the entire work at one time. There are several other matters intimately connected with the pro- ject of reclaiming the flats, but thetr cost is not aciuded tn this estimate. These are: The dispo- sition of the sewage that now discharges into the Washington channel, retatuing walls for the B street sewer canal, 'and the rebuilding of Long bridge with wider spans that will offer less" obstruction to the flow of water. ‘The amount appropriated by act passed August 24, 1882, for carrying Unls improvement into effect 1s $400,000, and T'recommend that it be applied to that end In the following manner, viz: Apply £300,000 to dredging channel 20 feet deep at low tide, and as wide as it can be made for thay, sum, reaching from the deep water near Glesbo! Point to Georgetown. (It 1s estimated that a channel 20 feet deep and 400 feet wide can be made for that amount.) ‘The material excavated from such a channel will measure about 1,700,000 cuble yards, about two-thirds of witch should come from the portion above Long bridge, and the other third from the bar near Giesboro’ Point. ‘That portior taken from the channel above Long bridge shoud be deposited on section IIL, as the towage from Glesoro’ Point to section I. or IL. would add considerably to the cost, $70,000 should ‘be allotted to the construction of the inlet and outlet slutce- ways referred to in the project for filling the lakes in Section IL, and : PURIFYING THE WATER inthe Washington channel ‘The estimated cost of these siutce-ways, as given by the late Major ‘Twining, was $40,000 for one and $30,000 for the other. Detailed estimates for them can only be given after a careful stady of this branch of the Subject, but inasmuch as it 1s Inexpedtent to be- gin théir construction before spring there, is ample time for this purpose. The remaining £30,000 should be allotted to contingencies, office expenses,&e. In some respects it would be advan- tageous to concentrate the dredging operations to that portion of the river above the Long bridge, leaving section III for a later period of operations, but It ts desirable to open a chan- hel all the — way to Glesboro point. A finished ‘section of channel above Long bridge would be more likely to Mill with sediment brought down the river in time of freshets if the bar below the bridge remained intact than a nar- row channel of the fu length. ‘The project here submitted will not in any Way prevent imodifica- Uons being made should they become, after a more careful study of the subject, either advanta- geous or expedient. WORK IN WINTER. ‘There is no reason, in my mind, why the work of dredging and filling may not be carried on with advantage during a greater part of the winter. I further suggest that the work can be done more advantageously by contract, after due advertise- ment for proposais in accordance with the laws and regulations on the subject, and I recommend that it be done in that manner. I submit with this project a map showing the proposed plan of improvement in accordance with the act of August 24, 1882 Very respectfully, your obedient servavt, Peter C. Hains, Major of Engineers.

Secretary Folger received the news of his nom!- nation as governor by the republicans of New York, soon after tt was made, by a private dis- patch received from Saratoga, ‘whlch was soon followed by a number of congratulatory telegrams from all sections of the state. The Secretary was not at the Treasury department to-day, although ils health ts somewhat tmproved. Judge Folger will accept the nomination as soon as he 1s oftictaily advised by the chairman of the conven- tion of his nomination. As it 1s not known when Mr, Folger will resign as Secretary of the ‘Treas Itis the prevailing impression, ho’ ever, that he will resign before the November Uon. Ina day or two he will leave for New York WHO WILL SUCCEED Mi FOLGER as Secretary of the Treasury 13 now a question of toterest. The gossips have {t that his probable successor can be narrowed down to two men— Representative Crowley, of New York, and Johu ©. New, of Indiana, the present Assistant S2cro- tary. It 4s probable that one of these two will be appointed, the fate of elther depending upon whether or no the President will take an eastern ora western man. ‘The friends of Mr. New allege this circumstance in his favor. A few wecks ago Mr. New, 50 It 18 sald, Indicated to the President his purpose to resign the office he now holds, and was persuaded therefrom by the Prealdent for rea- ons Which his friends say were an assurance of his promotion tn case the republicans of New York chose Judge Folger as their standard bearer. The employes of the Treasury department feel elated because of Judge Folger’s nomination, not that they destre to have him leave as_the head of the Treasury department, but because liking him they feel gratified over his political success. MR. CRAPO'S DEFEAT. ‘The defeat of Representative Crapo for the Mas. sachusett’s gubernatorial nomination {s ascribed by the wiseacres here to his vote to override tac Prestdential veto of the river and harbor bill, and his fealty to Senator Hoar. The staiwarts say that Bishop, the nominee, is of their number, and that his nomination yesterday forecasts the political end of Senator Hoar, It fs learned this afternoon that Secretary Folger will at once arrange his affairs so.as to be able to Telegrams to The Star THE NEW YORK CONVENTIONS.

TAMMANY PROBABLY ADMITTED—A GREAT CROWD— CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR. Special Dispatch to THe EVENING Stan. SYRACUSE, Sept. 21.—There is the largest atten- dance at the democratic state convention here which has ever been known. The city has not the capacity to provide eating and sleeping quarters for the visitors. Everything seems to be at sea, except the general conclusion that the Tammany delegates will be adinitted, in which event Jobn Kelly will support the ticket. The county demo- cracy from New York city and the country dele- gates are very much opposed to this, but they see no other solution of the difficulty. "It is evident that unless the party is united here it will stand no chance of electing its ticket. Mr. Kelly says that as Mr. ‘Tilden’ has been the prime mover in keeping him out of state conventions heretofore, there can be no valtd ob- Jection to admitting him to this one, inasmuch as “the old man” has renounced all control. Congressman Flower 1s still talked about for governor; but this morhing Gen. H. W. Slocum seems to be quite formidable, Homer A. Nelson is also named, and some friends of Perry Belmont have endeavored to thrust him forward. No nomt- nations will be made before this evening, if then.
