Major Davis of the engineer corps has made a report of the operations in improv- ing the Potomac river during the month of December. When the present project of improvement was adopted, the Georgetown channel was narrow and crooked amd had not suffictent depth to accommodate com- merce, and the Washington channel was shoal and narrow. The flats in front of the city were alternately exposed and cov- ered by the tide. In exesution of the project there has been dredged a channel from 30 to 550 feet wide and 20 feet deep through the bars be- tween Giesboro’ Point and Georgetown. As this channel has filled up above the Long bridge, it has been redredged there several Umes and a training dike has been built with a view of reducing the deposit. In the Washington channel the navigation chan- nel has been dredged to a depth of 20 feet gad a width of 360 feet. The ruling depth, however, was decreased to about 19 feet by the freshet of June 2, 1889. The area between the navigation channel and the wall on section 111 has been ater gp to Ave depth of 12 feet. The ven Nee navigation channel comprises all that is proposed for the ‘Washington, pm nel. Dredging in the W; channel, under the contract of the San Francisco Bridge Company, was continued through the entire month with the hydraulic dredge Boston. The weather was unusually favor- |able and the progress made with the work was quite satisfactory. Maj. Davis says the dredge is well gp to the work, is kept in good repair, and being manned by an effictent crew, there have been no ma- terial delays. During the month i cubic yards of material were deposited on section 111 of the rotsines area. On December 3) the navigation chan- nel had been dredged and widened to the full dimensions of 20 feet in depth and 400 feet in width, from the River View wharf for a distance of 2,400 feet down stream, while above this wharf a section 600 feet in length had been completed. The total amount of dredging under the contract to December 31 was 250,586 cubic yards, leav- ing a balance of 549,414 cubic yards to be dredged to make the total of 800,000 cubic yards. The Sea Wall. The construction of the sea wall on the Washington channel front of section 111 was continued during the month, and 900 | linear feet completed. For this work, 402 cubic yards of building stone were pur- chased during the month. The construction | of the training dike on the west side of the | Virginia channel above Long bridge was continued and 480 cubic yasds of riprap purchased and put in place. All the material is being deposited on the flats, and practically the entire area to be reclaimed has been raised above the over- flow at ordinary high tide. Of-the 12,000,- 009 cubic yards estimated to fill the flats to the required height, there has been deposit- ed on them about 9,505,000 cubic yards. The reservoir outlet has been completed, except the railing. The wreck of the lighter belonging to Littlefield, Alvord & Co., in Virginia chan- rel of Potontac river at- Washington, was removed by the owners during the month and deposited in shoal water on the shoal of Analostan Island, where it does mot on danger navigation. It is proposed to build the lighter. Maj. Davis says that the wreck of the steam yacht Ella in Washing- ton channel of Potomac river at Washing- ton is an obstruction to navigation, and that he recommends that Messrs. E. G. Lang & Co., the local representatives of the underwriters, be held to their agree- ment with the Secretary of War to re- move the wreck. Finai arrangements have been made for the removal of the wreck of the steamer W. W. Coit in the Washington channel of the Potomac river at Washing- ton. “MONTANA'S JEWELS. Thousands of Men Employed in Get- ting Out Precious Stones. Edward S. Chiswick, one of the leading owners of the precious stone fields of Mon- tana, is at the Shoreham. “In common with every other business west of the Mis- sissippi river,” said Mr. Chiswick, “the Jewel industry has been considerably de- pressed for the past few months, but signs of improvement are beginning to appear. It is a fact not generally known that most of the costly colored stones that are now being wern in the United States have been taken from the Montana jewel fields, and as the supply is practically inexhaustible, I think that within a few years we will be able to supply the market of the entire world with rubies, sapphires and opals at produced anywhere else on earth. There is a general impression that the rubies taken from the Montana fields are of an inferior classed with garnets. But this is an error that the protracted investigations of ex- perts have time and again disproved. There are as fine pigeon’s-blood rubies in the fields of Montana as may be found in India, and it has been repeatedly demonstrated by experts that the Montana sapphires are superior in color to any that are now being produced in the world. The jewel field own- ers in Montana are careful to limit their supply to the market, in order to avoid slumps in prices, and the industry has come to be one of the most important in the state, giving employment to thousands of men.” SS Ee, RAIDED BY PIRATES. Rice Junks Attacked Near the Chinese Coast and Crews Killed. The steamship China arrived yesterday at San Francisco from China and Japan. By the China it is learned that notwith- standing the recent additions to war junks cruising after the pirates along the coast, the pirates of Fukien and Taichow are still 8 numerous and as savage as ever. Some junks laden with rice were recently board- ed by the pirates near Wenchow, and, after a desperate fight, twenty-five of the crew were killed or seriously wounded. Anonymous and inflammatory. placards have recently been posted in the town of Yilin, China, which state that China has everything she needs, and that the mission- aries are teaching no new doctrines to the people. The missionaries are therefore not wanted, and an appeal is made calling upon Patriots to collect on a designated day to “kill and destroy.” The United States cruiser Concord is at Shanghai. The Baltimore. the flagship of the China station, is at Singapore. W. EB. Hunt, the new United States con- sul to Hong Kong, arrived at that port on December 17. —_——__+e+______ A Novel Offer to Pugilists. Leading Rimersburg, Pa., sporting men, believing the Corbett-Mitchell prize fight cannot be pulled off in Florida, are out with a bid. At a meeting of several wealthy coal operators yesterday it was decided to offer a tract of 200 acres of valuable coal land, worth $200 an acre now, for the con- test to take place at Wildcat City, one mile from Rimersburg, situated on the Sligo branch of the Allegheny Valley railroad. son, massage in: cated baths; fac! curing the nails.

Altemus. After ‘these exercises, which ere under the direction ef Mr. Altemus, dancing was in order until midnight. The officers of the asociation, as recently elected, are Mr. M. C. 6 president; Mr. Howard J. Myer, vice presi- dent; Mr. G. A. Hall, secretary, and Mr. Mark Burnham, treasurer. —--——_ Army Orders, The leave of absence granted Maj. Henry Wagner, fifth cavalry, is extended five months on surgeon’s certificate of dis- ability. Leave of absence for two months, on sur- Beon’s certificate of disability, is granted Capt. Augustus W. Corliss, eighth infantry. Capt. Ira MacNutt, ordnance department, will visit the Carpenter steel works, Read- ing, Pa., on official business pertaining to the manufacture of armor-piercing shot. Capt. Daniel M. Taylor, ordnance depart- ment, will visit the Colts Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company, at Hartford, Conn., on official business pertaining to the inspection of Gatling guns. The following transfers in the sixteenth infantry are made: First Lieut. William Lassiter, from company H to company A; First Lieut. Samuel W. Dunning from com- pany A to company Capt.

One month's leave of absence is granted Capt. George Mitchell, second artillery. The leave of absence granted First Lieut. reoreticd B. Moon, highend infantry, is ex- tended one month on su ‘8 certificate of disability, re The G Street Transfer. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I have noticed with great satisfaction the several articles in The Star in refer- ence to the transfer system of the Wash- ington and Georgetown cable road, as an unjust discrimimation against the patrons of the road who use the lith street line. These have two fares to pay if they wish to use the Eckington road to the Catholic Uriversity, or intermediate points, while our Georgetown friends and those using | the Pennsylvania avenue line west of 15th street have only one fare to pay. Why is this? Is it not simply unjust to a very | great number who daily use the 14th street | line, and are compelled to pay two fares or walk?

The deadlock in the special session of the Colorado legislature was clearly de- fined yesterday when the senate refused to consider the first bill submittéd from the house and adjourned until this after- noon, The house did some work passing bills and advancing others. Yesterday morning the secretary of state sent a communicaiion to the house announcing that the legislative expense fund was ex- hausted and contractors refuse to furnish supplies uniil some provisions are made for payment. A bill appropriating $15,000 for the ex- penses of the session was referred to the appropriation committee. The senate ma- jority declare that no appropriation bill can be passed in the upper house. The rumor that the senate was going to discharge its employes, adjourn until to- day and then go home, caused a good deal of comment in the house yesterday after- noon.
