War Department Does Not Control. WasHINGTON, April 22, —[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—General Grant, assistant sec- vetary of war, sald today that the war de- partment had absolutely no control whatever over the apportionment of funds by the Mis- sourd river commission. This apportionment has brought out numerous protests of late. One of the most emphatic came from Kansas City, It declared that the commission was discriminating against some localities, par- ticularly that in the neighbornood of Kansas ‘ity, aud was favoring other localities re- mote from Kansas City. General Grant says that he has wriltea to the pro- teStants, stating that in the first place ' the apportwument of the commission appears to be eminently fair, the protestants appear to be misinformed \pon the amounts which various parts of the river are to receive and their protests avise from a misunderstanding. General Grant's letter shows how the amount is distributed along the viver. In couclusion he says that the Missouri commission is a creation of congress over which the war department has no super- vision in the matter of apportionment. The commission reports to the department and the machinery of the colamission is carrmed into offect by’ the department, but there {s no power to revise the work of the commission, So far as the war department is concerned the Missouri river or the Mississippl viver commission could make any arbitrary and unfair apportionment which thoy saw fit, although General Grant believes that such a condition of affairs does not exist in the pres- ent caso.
