BEFORT OF THE BOARD OF ENGINEER OFFICERS. ‘The report of the board of engineer officers consisting of Col. J. M. Wilson, Lieut. Col. P. C. Hains and Major J. G. Lydecker, appointed to consider the subject of the construction of a bridge across Eastern Branch, at the toot of Pennsylvania avenue, was laid before the Secre- tary of War this morning. Tne report says that the “act under which the work is tobe done directs the Secretary of War to cause the construction of @ wooden, iron or masonry bridge, with necessary approaches, at a cost not to exceed $110,000, after making a survey to determine the length, width and height of said bridge. ‘The location of the proposed bridge recommended by Lieut. Col. Hains, in his report to the Chief of En- fineers May 31, 1887, 18 approved by the board. he axis of the bridge so located will make an an- gle of about 6 degrees to the southward, with the \e of Pennsylvania avenue extended. ‘The bridge will be 1,705 feet long between high water lines, with approaches about 530 feet long, making the total length of bridge and approaches ‘about 3,235 feet.” The board also concurs with Col. Hains in the opinion that the width of the bridge should not be Jess than thirty-two feet. ‘The height of the bridge recommended by the officer in charge of the work places the roadw&y at_an elevation of thirty-five feet above mean low tide, in order to make sum cient head-room for an over-grade crossing of the Baluimore and Potomac Raliroad. ‘The board ap- provesof this helght for the further reason that ‘the necessary helght of plers and truss would place the roadway ot adeck bridge at substantially that elevation, ‘The board has no detailed plan of bridge before it for consideration, nor does it understand that it can fix upon any particular plan, inasmuch as the law requires that after determintt the length, Width, and height of the pro] bridge, ‘thé Secretary of War shall thereupon advertise for ans and prices for its construction, The board s Of the opinion, based on estimates submitted in Col. Hains’ report, that advertisement for con- struction of a bridge (located on the proposed line), in which the material of the frame and its sup- ports shall be iron and stone, the clear width of Structure not less than 32 feet, and hetght of road- way, above low water, 35 feet, will bring out bids for the work within the limits of the appropria- ton.

After providing for the $19,716,000 of the 3. per cent bonds, dué July 1, the surplus will be about $37,000,000. ‘The pension appropriation _ of $76,075,000 for the fiscal yearending June 30,1887. is already exhausted, consequently the Pension Bureau reports that when the new appropriation Decomes available on July 1 it will draw $12,000,000 for the payment of pensions. ‘This will leave in the Treasury a surplus of $25,000,000. The gov- ernment assets in national bank deposttaries, on July 1, Will about equal that sum, so that sub- Stantially the whole Government’ balance will thus be available for the current business of the country on July 1, and will probably continue thus available for some months, for the amount of the Government deposits in" national banks con- stantly increase, and in August another $12,000,000 will ‘be drawn for pensions. Ac- eruing’ interest and ordinary expenses will require $27,000,000 in July and August, and the receipts for’ those months will be about $65,- 000,000, leaving on September 1 a surplus, less than on July 1, of say $36,000,000. Other consid- erations should be noted a8 affecting the influence of the treasury upon the finances of the country. One Is that of the above estimated receipts more than $1,000,000 will come, not from taxation, but from the profit on the coinage of the stiver dollar. Another ts that during July and August the Gov- ernment will expend at least, $4,000,000 In the purchase of silver bullion, which’ sum 1s not in- cluded in the above estimated expenditures.

Al- though only twenty-seven years of age, Curran had gained the reputation of being the most ex- pert inan living at hls infamous calling. In this city, about four years ago, a_man was walking along 9th street one afternoon when Curran came along and relieved him of his pocket-book, con- taining a large amount of money. A citizell saw the act, and, Curran observing this, slipped the pocker-tiook into a colored man's t, and had it not béen that he wax seen to do so by another eltizen the negro would probably have paid the penalty for stealing. Curran was taken to court, and when the case was called the negro failed t0 appear, and it was stated that friends of Curran had sent him out of the city. Curran was con- victed and given three months in Jail After serving the three months’ sentence he went West and was captured in Cincinnati for doing one of his Professional tricks.

To begin with, the festival was strictly one of the middle class, the railroads all taking out of London no fewer people than on onli- nary holidays, The crowds were astonishingly Smaller than had been anticipated, Indeed, ex- cept in a half dozen central spots,where the crush Was verrible for some time, and police and soldiers were at their wits’end in the struggle with the people, {t was possible to make one's way from Point to point along the whole route, Thad not once to use my police pass in order to get about. All the columns of accounts this morning about the continuous thunder of applause ARE PURELY IMAGINARY. From a collation of accounts by people stationed at different points the fact 1s clear that applause ‘Was Very infrequent and not very loud. The first half of the procession passed the end of Northum- berland avenue, Where I first saw it, without a single cheer. AS a spectacle the procession suf- fered greatly ‘from the fact that there Was no music in it, and half the carriages were closed. One real point of interest in the pageant was formed by the splendidly picturesque group of native and Indian cavalry officers preceding the queen's carriage and the band of princes on horse- Dack behind it, In the Abbey a much more striking “feature of the ceremony ‘Was the kiss exchanged by the queen with all the members of her family, and the most touching incident was the double kissing of the crown princess of Germany, her eldest daughter, After a long and affectionate kiss from her mother she Kissed the queen's hand with such fervor that the queen again kissed her warmly, after which the crown princess, for the third time, kissed her mother’s hand and retired.

CrNcrNNati, June 22.—The morning papers are full of matter connected With the Fidelity Na- Uonal Bank's closing.

But When the inquiry was made as to how much would be required, the answer Was aw $1,000,000 at least. ‘That staggered the directors, and although they suill hoped to form a reorganization It is most probable tat the fear that a further examination would reveal a further deficit deterred them, The fact 18, that Harper concealed from the directors his connec- tion with the wheat deal.
