The spectal committer on improvement of the Mississippl river met this morning for the first time since thelr separation, at the close of the trip of examination. Gen. Wright, chief of engineers, w. umuined as to his observation of the work in progress on the ri He stated that he belleved that the works tntended for the contraction of the Tiver are accomplishing their objects, so far as they have progressed, as also the works for the pUrpose Of protecting the banks of the river. When asked by Mr, the committee, as to hts optnion of the c and stability of the works, he satd he had Uie fullest faith In them, and that eason to doudt the correetuess Of the fn which the Work Was becun, d the point known as the Horsetail Shoal, below St. Louis, as one which has been swept away by a system of piles and wattles for con- ig theriver. He stated that he had found y waste of money In the purchases for plants for Work of the commission. Tie effect of out- he thought, would be to shoal the river, and he tore outlets tha worse It would be for naviga- ly to questions from the chairman Mr he described the process of protecting Cie Danks by matiresse the Mattresses Would have to be extended to all places where the banks cave, The new banks, too, would lave to be so protected to complete tue system ant control river. On being asked as to the practicabliity onfining the river within a bed of 3,809 feet lath, from Cairo down, Gen. Wright stated 1t W's practicable from thé stand potnt of engineer- ng. LMPOSSIBLE TO ESTIMATE THE COST. He could not give an estimate of the expense; the work had not extended far enough to make tals possible. He thought that by the time the appropriation shall be expended the experiment Would be carried far enough, to make It possible to | estimate the cost and the worth of such work. In reply to questions by Mr. Robinson, of Mas- Sachusetts, he gave as bis opinion that changes of the river bed might be prevented; that so rar as Bavication 1s concerned, the work of conflaing the river is needed only in a low water stage. He had never considered any project for confint 3,500 feet apart at bl, water. He would consider it an enorimoys work, involving a very ae and unn jtlay oF money. “He declined to attempt an estimate. As | to levees he belteved the bottom of the river would be favorably affected by a levee system, and 80 would be improved for low water naviga~ uon. He thought a completion of the contemplated works would but clearly demonstrate the fact that the other points on the river would not have to be rotected; If at Plum Point and the points experi- ented with, the plans worked successfully, it would show the feasibility of expending money Tor the same work at other points. The last = propriation was larger than necessary to make tl Lests at the points where they had been contemp- lated. ‘The committee will continue the examina- tion of Gen. Wright to-morrow. see District Government Affairs. DEFECTIVE DRAINAGE. Tn consequence of sickness from some local cause, at premises 1100 Vermont avenue north- west, Plumbing Inspector Robinson was request- ed by Health OMcer Townshend, to make an ex- amination of the drainage system connected with the residence.- In a report to the health officer, Mr. Robinson states that he finds the underground drainage defective trom the con- nection of the vertical soll pipe to point on the outside of house, necessitating the entire re- mova! of the terra cotta pipe under the house, and the relaying of that portion from the build- ing line to the connection of the main sewer inthe street. He says the sewer was so badly constructed when the house was bullt, that it is how obstructed by roots growing inside the pipes. He also finds stationary wash stands in all the sleeping apartments, and not a single trap, either under the fixtures, or on the line of the pipe leading to the main sewer. These wash stands should be removed and the verti- cal waste pipes disconnected from the laterals inthe cellar. The four inch soil pipe affording drainage for the water closets, and other fix- tures on the line of it terminates in the bath room on the second floor, which should be ex- tended to the roof, etc. Mr. Robinson. in con- versation with a STaR reporter, states that there are thousands of private residences in this city constructed in like careless manner. WANT THEIR STREET IMPROVED. This morning a delegation of citizens and property holders on the line of G street south- west, called upon the Commissioners in relation to the improvement of that street between 4 and Ist streets southwest, the second or third such delegations which’ has been before the Commissioners. They ask for a granite block carriageway and gas and water on that street for three squares. Mr. Wright was the spokesman and the subject was discussed pro andcon, the Commissioners stating that this work was not upon their schedule of estimates, and the only streets contemplated to be im- proved the coming year in South Washington are H between 7th and Water streets, and 9th be- tween Virginia avenue and Water streets. BUILDING PERMITS have been issued by the inspector of buildings to the following persons: Dr. J. F. Forrest, erect a two-story dwelling, rear of 1324 16th st. n.w.; $740.

Brewster Cameron on the Stand. WHAT HE KNOWS OF THE MEETING aT DRIVER | It was some time after 12 o'clock before the { hearing fn the Dickson case was resumed in the Police Court this morning. Mr. Brewster Came> Ton was placed on the stand, Was the general agent of the Department of Jas toe, with which he had been counected slaee Febraary 1. His residence was Below, Kanga # “Now, Mr. Cameron, { would like vou to: if vou were at Driver's August 23, and all oat it?” asked Mr. Welln. ae. “On that day.” began the witness, stave called at the office and told me——" “1 object,” Interrupted Judge Cuppy, “um less Mr. Dickson was. atc 9 Conversation between these two is not pertinent.” The court sustained the objection. Witness.—In consequence of information ne ceived from Mr. Bowen that Mr. Dickson wished to see ine, T saw Mr. Ker and Mr. Merrick at the latter's office, and told them what Mr. Bowen said. In accordance with their advice 1 WENT TO MR. DICKSON, and told Mr. Bowen that I would see Mr. Dick- son, In accordance with his request. I saw Mg, Bowen there. He sent word, so he told me, to Mr. Dickson — Judge Cuppy.—‘There tt is again,” referring to what Bowen said to Cameron. Witness.—1 sent word about 4 or $ o'clock Mr. Dickson, by Mr. Bowen, that I would him. Mr. Bowen told me that he sent the and that Mr. Dickeon would come at 8 0’ I said that my train left at 7:80 and he must # later than 6 o'clock. Mr. Bowen let him know. A little before 6 I came Driver's with Frank Morey, ex-member Congress from Louisiana, and we took dinnen While eating Mr. Bowen came ta, and after wards a waiter came inand sald something to Mr. Bowen. I did not understand what it was, but Mr. Bowen said Mr. Dickson was below. He went after him, but as he did not and it was near 7 o'clock, I started for train. On my way out I stopped in the lo room and saw DICKSON AND BOWEN SITTING TOGETHER, I called Mr. Bowea aad he came tome. I sald to him— Judge Cuppy.—I object to what Mr. Bowen said to Mr. Cameron, unless Mr. Dickson was present. Judge Cuppy went on to say that there was no evidence showing that Diokson sent @ messaye by Bowen. The court said that the witness could testify what Mr. Bowen said Mr. Dickson had given him as a ntessage. Judge Cuppy said it should be borne in mi that what transpired between Cameron Bowen was not evidence at all. The Court.—Certainly. he Witness.—When Bowen came over to 1 told him thet Mr. Dickson had had ample time to see me and he could not detain me. Bowen said if | stayed he could prove to me what Dick sou had said to him (Bowen) and that he (Diok- sou) asked for 25,000. I told him that it was AN INFAMOUS THING ¥ if Mr. Dickson made the proposition and I would not wait to see sucha man. Mr. Boweg then said that if witness was going away with out seeing Mr. Dickson, and as he (Bowen) had left hastily, he would go back and excuse hime self. The witness then parted with Bowen, and going outside met Judge Hoover, to whom he recounted the affair. In reply to questions witness said that he HEARD NO PART OF THE CONVERSATION on that night. He never heard of Mr. Dicksom until he was on the jury. “Did you ever know of any effort on thepartof Mr. Dickson to make your acquaintance?” asked Mr. Wells. “Yes,” sald the witness, “In what way,” asked Mr, Wells. “About the middie of August,” said the wit ness, “while dining with Judge Hoover at Driver's. “Will the witness wait a moment?” said Judge Capit. “I apprehend he is going to say t! Judge Hoover told him that he heard that Mr. Dickson wanted to make his soquaintange, Unless Mr. Dickson was present such evidenos was not admissible.” 4 DISCUSSION. Mr. Wells said it was in evidence that both Hooverand Bowen had said that Mr.Dickeon de- sired his acquaintance, and Mr. Cameron's tes- timony only tended to show that this wish of Mr. Dickson was made known to Mr. Camerog. Judge Cuppy said that this was an effort get a man to say what some other man had him that some one else had said. Mr. Wells said that it was the same as The court sent @ message to him by a bailiff and Mr. Wells was called to testify that the had bons delivered. It only made the complete. In reply, Judge Cuppy said that the was indefinite and should call for know! ts his own mind and not be called on to state somebody had told him that some one had eal@ was in Mr. Dickson's mind. THE COURT Samp that the witness could go on and say what be did in consequence of the receipt of a messege. He would exclude what was irrelevant. The witness then resumed, saying that the middle of August after dinner, Ju: Hoover in the presence of Bowen, said that had heard Mr. Dickson say to Bowen that he WOULD LIKE TO MEET MR. CAMEROK, Judge Cuppy.—Is that a message? The Court.—I do not understand that the witness says it is, but he can goon and state what he did. Mr. Smith.—If this evidence proves anything it proves that there was a conspiraey between Cameron, Hoover and Bowen. The witness, resuming, said that berore there had been some discussion about star route mat~ ters. After Judge Hoover told him about Dick son, witness asked, “Who is Dickson?” an@ Judge Hoover said. *The foreman of the star route jury.” Some objection being made by the defense to this testimony the court said that the conversa. tion between the three men was immaterial he would order it stricken out. The witness then suid that he REFUSED TO MEET MR. DICKSON, and never did meet him. “Did you authorize Mr. Bowen to approagh Mr. Dickson about his vote?” asked Mr. Wella, This was objected to, and Mr. Wells referre@l tothe printed Interview with Mr, Dickson, te which he said that he had been approached officers of the Department of Justice, and one of the agents (Mr. Bowen) had note to his office asking him to come to and that he did not go. Mr. Wells sald that the writerof the stated on the stand that Mr. Dickson had him that the offer came from the Justice, pects he essa heen witness authorized such a proceeding. Judge Cuppy sald that he objected cause they never claimed that the made by the witness or came from the ment. The same witness referred to by Wells stated that Mr. Dickson told him that be <= did not believe that the General or Brewster Cameron knew anything of this offer. Mr. Welis.—But you deny 's statement. that Mr. Dickson made this offer to him? Judge Cuppy.—Certatnly, we do. Mr. Wells.—That Is what we want to sab stantiate by this witness. BOWEN'S OFFER NOT AUTHORIZED BY THE DE- PARTMENT OF JUSTICE. Se stated that he | a 4s eae ac 4 ee The witness then answered the question thas | ‘he had not authorized such an offer. ag Mr. Wells then concluded the examination direct.
