pany and feeling sure that he was the bearer
| OF good news, q reporter of this paper called
upon the captain and found him as healthy
looking amiabie and courteous as before. We
asked him some questions on the success of
his mission To Washington, and secured most
interesting data:
Il found said Capt. Aiken. the prospects
for getting our Red river appropriation very
good. Our hopes are to have the river SO i'm

has In a.great measure lost Its North Louisi-
ana and Texas trade because Of the annual In
terruption to navigation caused by low water

people have been asking for for long time.
and am sure they will heartily appreciate the
favors thus shown them by Postmaster General
Key and his assistant, Cen. Brady.
II found Col. Robertson hard at work with his
levee committee. but he has men on It who do
not think the government ought to build leyees
to protect what they term private or individual
interests. He is now showing them that evees
deepen rivers and improve navigation, which
they certainly do. and hopes to ultimately sue
coed on that line of argument If ourILeople
and press would unite on this theory. or rather
demonstrated fact. It would certainly hasten
the levee appropriation.
Every man OF our delegation seems anxious
to surpass. the others In securing Legislation to
help our State. One of them said to me: You
may tell our people that Louisiana will get
more from this Congress than she has from
any one since she became a State and think
results will prove his words to be true.'

Dear Sf-In reply to your inquiry of the

no authority over vessels bound for ports in
adjoining States and not touching at ports in
Louisiana. However, if you have good reason
TO suppose that vessels passing your station
to any point in this State have been in contact
with other vessels which were liable to be in
fected, it will be your duty to treat them as il
they had come from infected ports; that is, to
fumigate and disinfect, and then allow them
to proceed.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
