Hi: EV. Culver & Co., of New York, (the lowest bid- ders) will be awarded the contract for dredging about 120,000 cubic yards of material and depositing It to form the embankment for the shore line of the proposed tidal reservoir cf the Potomac fata. It is expected that the new eont-actors will begin op- erations in a few days, one of the uredges already here being used. Their bid 1s 113 cents per cubic yard. This will be the beginning of the construc— tion of the tidal reservoir, which is intended to fiush the Washington channel when It is eventually closed above Long bridge. It will be some Ume before this channel Is closed, on account of the prelimnary work which is necessary. ‘REMOVAL OF THE LONG BRIDGE TO BE RECOMMENDED. Col, Hains finds the greatest obstacle in the prog- ress of the work of improvement to be tne Long bridge. and he will shortly make a special report to the Secretary of War, recommending its removal. Anorder was recently issued by the chief of en- gineers, calling attention to a clause in the last Tiver and harbor bill, Which requires engineer oft- cers in charge of river and harbor improvements to report to the Secretary of War all ob- Stacles to free navigation upon the waters under thelr charge. Under this order Col. Hains will make the report referred to, and through the Secretary of War Congress will be informed of the obstackes to ube flats improvement, which the bridge in its pr sent coudition offers Congress gave the bridge to the raliroad company under cer- tain conditions; but whether these conditions have Deen uliiiled or'not, Congress retained she right to amend or alter the law. VIEWS OF COL. HAIXS. “The Long bridge is not at present an obstacle to free navigation, but it will be some day,” said Col Hains, tn speaking on the subject. ‘The piers are 80 constructed as to prevent the free flow of water in the channel and will cause the deposit. of sediment above it, where the chunnel has been dredged, and thereby obstructing navigation. In Its present condition itis not only in the way of Improvemen’, but unless something ts done with It It will prove dangerous, ‘The fact ts I am afraid to close the Washington channel while it stands the way it does now. With thst channel closed of Course a greater volume of water will have to pass through Ube Virginia channel. ‘Then tn case of a freshet away may go tue bridge. ‘That woudd be one way of getting rid of 11, but not the most de- sirable, “Ta your annual report you say that by acom- paratively small outlay chunges could be made in tue bridge which would iéssen the difficulties, do You wou” assed a Srax reyorier. | “Yes.” he replied, “but that would Only partly do away with the trouble. We might dig out the ma- terlal which Is otved about the plers, and also the stoues Which are piled up there tostrengthen them, bu Kat would Us lable to endanger fhe satery of ¢ bridge, and during a freshet 1t miyht go down witn a train of curs, ‘he ‘only proper way of obvi- ating the difticulty ts to remove the bridge. As I understand it, Cougress alone lias the power to do it, but J suall’be heartily gad when it 1s done, as 1t Should be. It interieres with the improvement of ‘the Mats in more than one way.” THE RECLAIMED LAND WORTH THR EXPENSE. In speaking in a general way of the flats lmprove- ments, Col. Hains sald: “The liberal funds for the Prosecution of the work will enable us to make good Progress, and tn another year the flate will be greatly improved. One contract to be awarded before the end of this month will require an expen- diture of from $100,000 vo $150,000, and when it is completed the fats will sow some changes of note” ‘Will the land, when reclaimed, be worth the ex- Pense of reclaiming it?” asked tie reporter. “There tan’t_a doubt about it,” was the reply. “1 know that the contractors who have worked on the flats would be glad todo the whole work for Bothing if they could oply own the land when re- Claimed." ‘The work done on the flats thus far can only be appreciated trom the water. Plenty of good, soltd land extends into the river where form:rly’ there ‘was nothing but a marsh exuding noxious gases. “Dr, Bland’s Troubles.” ACARD PROM ACTING INDIAN COMMISSIONER STEVENS. Tothe Rditor of Tae Evaxrxe Stan: My attention bas been called to an article in yesterday's Star, headed “Dr. Bland’s Troubles’ ‘The doctor thinks that the article does him great injustice, and that be should be set right in the matuer. ‘The author of the article alleges that “officers of the bureau,” Including myself, “say that the pub- Ughed statements of Dr. T.

I also made the statement that three inspectors, whose names T gave, and a Senate committee. had mide Very thorough examinations, at various periods within the past two years, of the affulrs 0: sald ‘ney, aud thelr reporis, without exception, were Riguly complimentary wo the agent, that it was a model agency, ac.

He consulted the office before he left about the matter, and was referred to the laws and the regulations of the departinent applicable to att r- neys in SUch case, But the doctor now denies that he visited those ayencies for any such purpose, and he is ealitied to the benetit of such dental. I ulgo stated that Dr. Bland was too apt to rely upon the evidence of squaw men and others at the agencies, Whose testimony was wholly Unreliable, who have grievances of various kinds, or “axes to grind,” and whose af@davita could be’ obtained at ny Ume, against any man, owever pure and up- right, for aby purpose, at the rate of a dollar per azen, and J instanced "the case of one of his own prowiheat witnesses against Agent McGillycuddy ssa man of this character, who had entered into a collusion with other parties years ago to defraud these very Indians out of 520,000. ‘ais is the exteat of my offerise against the doo- tor. ‘Very respectfully, EL Stavme Bogas Pension Ciaim Agents HOW THEY HAVE SWINDLED POOR FROPLE IM MISSI SUPPL.

A Buffalo evening newspaper having published @ ‘story about Gov. Cleveland, charging him with drunkenness, seduction, abduction, &c., an investi- gation has been made, and the following are the facts as presented by the New York Post: Some Years ago, Mr, Cleveland, who ts gbatchelor, be- came acquainted tn Buffalo with Maria Hal- pin 8 wiow having two children. She was a se familiar with two or three otuer men. She chat Cleveland with the paternity of her child, und he at once made provision for the support of boul mother and child. While nursing the child tbe woman began drinking heavily, and the child was neglected. About this ume Cleveland decided to jae the matier of the care of the motber and child nwo the Lands of some one on whom he could de- pend, and chose Judge Burrows, a gentleman ad Vanced 1p years, and of high standing in the com- munity One day tire report was brought to Judge Burrows that the woman was in a high siate oi ex- cltement through drink. He, without Cleveland’s knowledge, sent detectives to the house, W110, on Uheir own responsibility, took the woman to the Providence asyium, where she was kepi but a short: Ume, and te child was taken to the Protestant Orphan asylum. Cleveland then gave the woman means to start in business at Niagara. She did not slay Ubere long, however, returning to Buffalo, where she frequently visited and finally abducted. the child from the orphan asylum. She afterwards: Surrendered the child, and it bas since been adopted in a private family in Buffalo, the mother belng again generously provided ior. Milo A.
