And now, alter a large sum has been expended and im? portant re-uits have been accomplished, the e will permit tie work to be aban- doued or to suffer trom delay, unless the river ‘and harbor bill shall fail. “If it fails then the flats must sufler along with other pubile works.

He spoke of the importance ot the subject and how it opened up the whole finan- clal question of the government, but hoped that aU this late stage of the session the discussion would be closely confined to the distinct points involved. He then explained the resolution at length and Its objects and effects. Proceeding to discuss the clause in the amend- ment as to“an extraordinary emergency,” he was asked by Mr, Cullom whether that ainend- ment would not leave the question entirely in the hands of the udministration, and whether the administration would not determine that the emerzency alwaysexisted. Beiore he could answer Lhat question he was asked another by Mr. Plumb as to whether he knew of any occur- rence (since the present administration came into power) indicating that the country was on the verge of @ panic. To the latter question he replied in the negative, and then Mr. Plumb recuiled the fact of the Secretary of the Treasury sending in July, 1885, ten inillions to the assoctated banks in New York tomeet some imaginary demund and to avert some impending disaster. In re- sponse to that (aiter explaining that the deposit was In tractional silver currency —not regarded. as money), he. said that the Senator from Kun- sas did not take account of the fact that the Secretary of the Treasury was then new in his place and was not as familiar with the affalrs of the Treasury aud of the government as he now was. Having referred toa speech delivered by Senator Beck last December whieh exposed, he said, the shams of democratic policy, he was uskéd by Mr. McPherson to state what he meant by that remark, and he explained ‘his meaning to be ‘this: That the democratic administration had come into power by criticising adversely the financial policy of its predecessor and saying that more money was held in the Treasury than was ne- cussary to the government and to mainiain the paper money al par, that trom the 4th of March Ull the 20th ot December the democratic adiuinis- Uon bud reversed the policy of the republican adiinistration, and, instead of paying the sur- plus on the public debt, had accumulated more than $60,000,000 in "the ‘TSeasury over and above the proper reserve, and that it was only the speech of the Seuator from Kentucky that puta stop wo that policy and caused the first call sor $10,000,000 to be issued. The House Tesolution, he said, utterly and absolutely con- demmed the financial policy of the administra tion, The Senate committee on finance had molll- fied and stgur-coated (in some respects) this con- demnation; still 1t aiso proposed to condemn that policy, and 1t would stand condemned be- fore the country whether the resolution should be amended or not. ‘Mr. McPuerson ‘challenged Mr. Allison to point towny thing Iu the democratic plattorm of 1s84 that ave countenance to any such reso- lution as hud come over from the House of Rep- resentutives. ‘The platiorm was exactly in tue opposite direction. it declared for honest money, for an honest administration of the ‘Treasury, and for an honest payment of the public debt. Mr, Alison declined to be drawn into any political debate, and hoped that Senators wouid avoid it. He justified the action of the Secre- lary of the ‘Tieusury against the criticism. of Mr. Plumb, and sald ‘that the Secretary bud been practically carrying out the provisions of the Joint resolution since last December. Mr. Beck proceeded to address the Senate. The Senators on either side, he said, and the adiinistiation might as well dismiss all appre- heusious relative to the motives and purposes o1 the House of Representatives in the passage of the joint resolution and might as well as. sume that the House of ikepresentatives (con- suLuted, as it was, In Iriendiy accord with the executive branch of the government) had pot Undertaken by the resolution either to cen- sure, condemn or embarrass the exceutive braneh of the government. He opposed the amendments of the senate committee. Believ- ing that under existing circumstances the reso- lution was tir and Just to the administration, he should vote for if Just us it came from thé louse. House of Representatives. On motion of Mr. Culberson (Texas), a bill was passed appropriating $50,000 for the erec- tion of a public building at Jefferson, Texas, THE GENERAL DEFICIENCY BILL. The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr, Hatch, of Missourl, in the chair) upon the Senate amendments to the general deticlency bill, NEW CONFEREES, There was no opposition made to the recom- mendation of the committee on appropriations ay to concurrence or non-concurrence in the amendments, and their consideration consisted chiefly in their reading. ‘The House subsequently ratified the action of the committee of the whole, and a conierence Was ordered, Mr. Burnes, Mr. LeFevre, and Mr. McComas being appointed conferees. THE MARY ANDERSON VETO. Mr. Thomas (Wis.) called up the velo message ‘on the bill granting a pension to Mary Ander- son. Mr. Reagan (Texas), with the intention of calling up te interstate commerce bill, raised the question of consideration, and the House— yeus, 11 117—refused to consider the ANOTHER VETOED PENSION CASE. Mr, Sawyer (N.Y.) then called up the vetoed pension case of Andrew J. Wilson, but the ‘House also refused—yeus 99, nays 121—to con- sider it, Capitol Topics. THE CUTTING CASE. The House foreign affairs committee to-day held its last meeting of this session. The Cut, ting case came up for discussion upon the King resolution, calling upon the State department for the currespondence in the case. It was de- elded that since Secretary Bayard hus, unofti- clally, expregsed the belted that Cutting’ will be set at liversy, the commities decided not to recommend the passage of the resolution, There is no prospect of tue case getting into the Mouse. THE BACKBONE FORFEITURE. The Senate committee on public lands to-day ordered @ tavorable report on the House bill to “declare u forfeiture of lands granted to the New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicksburg (the Backbone) raiiroad company, to confirm title to certain lauds and for other purposes.” Sena- tor Van Wyck will make a minority report ad- verse Ww thut portion of the bill confirming to the New Orleans Pacitie railroad company, as assignee, & portion of the original Backbone grant, THE LEGISLATIVE, ETC., APPROPRIATION BILL PASSED. ‘Mr. Holman submited the conference report on the legislative bill in the House yesterday afternoon, settling the last point of difference between the two houses by agreeing to an in- croase of $70,000 instead of $150,000 in the iuternal revenue appropriation.

THE RECLAIMED RIVER |. Hains’ Annual Report. BOR—WHAT HAS REEN DONE ON THE WASH- INGTON RIVER FRONT AND WHAT IT IS PRO- POSED To Do, Col. P. C. Hains has submitted to the chief of engineers his annual report on the improve- ment of Washington and Georgetown harbors. The work of excavating rocks in Georgetown harbor that obstructed navigation was com- pleted, he says, In November, 1885. The re- moval of these rocks makes the harbor of Georgetown safe for vessels drawing 20 feet of water. There are otherrocks close in to the whart at G street, and another ledge that reaches out 50 feet or more from the wharves between the mill race to the foot of High street. They are an obstruction only to vessels that tle up near these wharves. would benefit theowners of whart roperty ii the vicinity, but at present would be of little use to general commerce. become nece to increase In the future it may sary to remove them in orde the wharlage facilities the harbor, or to regulate __harba lines, but ‘it, was thought better to leave their removal to be provided for by special act of Congress. Aiter completing the excavat! of rocks there remained a balance of 11,316.1 which was reallotted to the dredging of George" town channel and applied in deepening aud widening it above Long bridge. The amounts appropriated for the work reached a total of $290,000. ‘The revenue collected in the district Of Georgetown for the year ended June 30, 1886, amounted to $21,364.30, A SKETCH OF THE IMPROVEMENT. The report gives in detail the object of the improvement of the river front, and states that the plan contemplates the removal or rebuild- ing of Long bridge, on fewer piers with wider spans, and also that the sewage now discharged into the Washington ei and conveyed to James creek. Of the river front at the time the first appro- priation was made, Col. Hains says, had be- come so bad in a sanitary point’ of view that certain parts of the city had 4 almost uninhabitable. This) was caused by deposits on the city front of sedi- ment from the and the solid river, matter from the sewers, which had formed flats or marshes, covering vu urea o! several hundred acres, The flats were covered by water for about one-balt the time, and uncovered the other hall, In the latter condition they were exposed fora time euch day to the rays of the sun, whieh, in summer, produced favorable conditious for malarious diseases. The chan- neis had not the depth required tor navigation, and from 1870 to 1881 inclusive there had been Sppropriated $290,000, most of which was, expended iu trying to maintain a narrow chau- nel of 16 ieet at low tide, which immediately shoaled up alter a iresbet. THE WOKK ACCOMPLISHED. At the present time the condition of the work is as follows: The Washington channel has a depth of 20 feet at low tide along the city front up to Long bridge, the width being trom 200 to 350 feet. The Virginia channel up to West Washington has a depth ot about 20 feet, (ex- cept where shouled by recent freshets), and a. width ranging Irom 300 to 500 tect. ‘Nearly the entire portion of the flats lying northwest of the sewer canal, section 1, has been filled up toaheight of about six fect or more, On sec- tion 2, that portion between the sewer canal and Long bridge, avout 6,700 linear feet of em- bankment, forming the margin of the tidal res- ervoir, has been built, and the excavation of the Udal reservoir itseli_has been commenced. On section 3, the part below Long bridge, about 212 acres have been filled toa height’ above overflow at high tide. The total amount filled to # heiht above overflow at ordinary high tide is 375 acres. Of the contract for dredging and depositing 1,000,000 cubie yards trom the Washington channel there only remains a few days work to be done, when the contract will be closed. ‘The contract for dredging # like amount from the Virginia channel is avout half com- leted, This work was retarded by the muterial i inore difficult to be dredged than was an- cipated. A SEASON OF FRESHETS, ‘The past winter end spring have been noted for the great number of freshets. Though none of them caused a rise ip the river at this place higher than about 6% feet above mean low tide, their trequent recurrence kept up a swift down- Stream current, which retarded work and caused an injurious deposit of sediment in the dredged channels. In the Washington channel there was a fill of no less than four feet a short distance below Long bridge, and in the Virginia channel above the bridge’ there was a Bil of neaily the same amount, It has been neces- sary, so far, to keep the Washington channel until the cross section of the Virginia channel had been increased it was tuought unsafe to do work on section 2. The work las now reached that stage when it Is not only desirable but im- portant to close the upper end of the Washing- ton channel in order to prevent these Ireshet deposits. As soun as the embankment along the outer margin of section 2 is up to a height of six feet or more it fs thought the width Of the river will be sufticiently contracted to Prevent injurious deposits above Loug bridge, and as the Washington channel will be closed at the upper end, noappreciabie amount of sedi- ment will be swept into it, It must be expected that the work will be damaged by every freshet until It hos progressed further toward comple- tion, Taken aitogether the damage doue by the freshets and fee during the past year was comparatively small, amd inost of it could have been avoided hud un adequate appropriation been made in 1885, MARSH GAS. Borings for the sluice gates of the tidal reser- voir, about 1,200 feet trom the Long bricge, showed conclusively that a pile foundation wiil be necessary for the inlet gates. An unexpected feature was the discovery of gus, under cousid- erable pressure. It is supposed to be marsh gas, but further examination will be made. SEWER CANAL. ‘The necessity for Congressional action relative tothe sewer canal at the foot of 17th street becomes more and more imperative each year. Formerly the sewage was discharged on the flats, but within a few years a canal bas been cut seross the flats, and its banks from time to time raised, and’ the flats on euch side are now being iilled. The canal is not a proper receptacle ior it, a8 there is no current except that caused by iidal action. As a consequence, the head of the caual (and sometimes its entire length of 3,500 tect) is covered by asickening initss of foceul matter, the odors from which are far irom pleasant, A'single visit al such a time will suifice to give # fair Idea of its present con- dition. Iv is sometimes suggested that the sewer be extended over the fats into the river. This Col, Hains cousiders objectionable. It would not remove the nuisance, but simply hide it from view. ‘The gases that now emanate Irom this mass of corruption would be retained in the sewers, to be distributed through veutila- tors into the city aud perhaps largely into dwelling houses. The most sutistactory solu- Uon of the problem would seem to be, he suys, to close the present end of the sewer and estab: lish a large steam pump there to pump the sewage out into the river, the closure of the sewer to be made by gates to open automatic. ally or otherwise durlog a rainiull, the waters of which would be discharged tute the caual, which Would only receive rainwater contami: hated by little seWage. This 1s substantially the plan recommended ‘by Capt, F. V. Greene, while assistant to the Engineer Commissioner. Ti some such plan should ve carried out by the District authorities 11 would uppear but proper and right for the government to take care of the catal itwelf, build retaining walls to tts sides, and estublish flushing siuices trom the small reservoir near its head. Their cost will be about $208,144, and an appropriation of $100,000 is recomended to begin their work of construction. LONG BRIDGE, ‘The attention of Congress is again called to the necessity of action in regard to Long bridge. ‘The plan recommended by the board of engi- neers for the,!mprovement of the river front contemplates the rebuilding of the bridge at an carly period during the progress of the in: rovement, with wide spans, upon piers afford- Ing the leant possible obstruction to the flow of water. No plun of improvement can be made satisfactory while the bridge remains as it ls—a, Serius obstruction to the flow of water beneath it, The dredging in the Virginia channel above and below this bridge hus had tobe stopped some distance from 1t for fear of injuring the foundution of the plers. The bridge ought to be rebuilt without unnecessary delay. ‘THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT shows balance of $122,237.06 as apparenuly available, but practically there is nothing avail- able. All the money is needed to meet labil- ities under existing contracts.
