Transmitted TO the Senate to-day the report of o
Board of Engineer Officers relating TO bridge

The Board is unanimously of the opinion that the
most complete solution of the problem is the con-
struction of a tunnel under the Detroit River. The
bridge plan is ndorsed condtionally, the Board
concluding that there will be material difficulty
IN vessels passing through draws of 800 400 feet
In width at any time when it would be safe to
navigate the river and that if the right Of way is
clearly and emphaticaly given to navigation. there
would be no material or 'onduc injury to that in
terCst.
The report says of the traffic OF that region:
At Detroit two immense streams OF commerce cone
into direct Interference namely by water and the
other by railroads. The problem before the Board

The session of the Senate also a very brief
one. A half hour was devoted TO the introduction
Of bills. resolutions. etc. among which only one
Joint resolution by Mr.. VOORHEES,, contained pro-
visions of general interest.
The Voorhees, resolution seeks to accomplish
great many things at once, and will probably accom-
psh nothing at all except TO give Senator voorhees,
an opportunity to make political speech at some fu-
ture dsy. 1t embodies severe attack upon the
Administration. because of the financial recon-
mendations of the President and the Secretary of
the Treasury. Ii credits Congress with having
caused n restoration of confidence in the busi-
ness world bv prohibiting the retirement
Of ereenbacks and providing for the reconciliation
of silver and IT declares that the interests of the
rountry require the free aud unlimited coinage OF
both cold and silver on conditions of exact equal
ity. Probably Mr.. Voorhees, does not expect his
resolution to pass II will of course meet with the
unoualifed disapprOval of the Eastern mem-
bcrs of his own party. while Republicans
who share the financial views embodied in
the resolution will of course not support the reiec-
tions il makes upon the Administration, nor the
indirect praise il besiOws on the Democratic Con-
