A Great work for Captain Eads.

" OAE@EAM W
Washington Special to Gin. Commercial
1t is understood that a scheme is on
foot in St Louis, aud among the hackers
Of Captain Esds, to have congress give
to him the job Of improving the Missis
sippi river from St. Louis down. Capt.
Eads for several years has been thinking
Of a plan to improve the channel of the
Mississippi, after the idea Of his i%etties.
A delegation from the st. Paul River
Convention is now here TO get an sppro-
priation Of 81, 1000, 900 for this work, but
TO bs carried on after the plans of the
army engineers The Eads people want
many more millions than the St. Paul
delegation, and agree to take the con.
tract on the nc cure no pay" prinei
pie. Captain Eads expects to, within a
year at the farthest, be comparatively
at liberty to take up a new task. 1t ID
the plan to let the St. Paul people agitate
the question Of river improvement up to
3 point where it will be suitable for the
Eads project to come to the front. After
consulting with members Of the several
committees Of the house which have had
TO act directly or indirectly upon matters
relating to commerce and the improve.
ment Of navigation, it has been decided
not 10 create a new committee to take
especial charge Of the Mississippi river
aud its tributaries, but the committee on
Mississippi levees is 10 be augmented in
numbers, its name changed to the com
mittee on improvements Of the Missis
sippi river and its navigable tributaries
and it shall have charge Of all natter
relating to Improvements in channel,
and levees.
