fast changing at Dexter. and the people now ac-
cept with the deepest sorrow the facts OF the de-
falcation and suicide OF the late Treasurer Bar

cation to THE SUNS correspondent. The

mixed. figures being changed and false
entries made The work Of investigation
progresses slowly. Barron's irregularities
extend bnck some years, and investigation
will probably have TO be- made OF the
books for the dozen years Barron has been

Bangor accountant who has been examining
the books. arrived at Bangor this evening He
SAYS that he has not yet completed his work.
He has TRANSCRIPTS made. however. and he will

that another accountant will be employed TO nx-

NOW TO IMPROVE THE MISSISSIPPI
The Board OF EneIneers Recommending n
System of Dykes or Jettiea

system ot byhcs or
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Secretary OF
War has sent to the House Communication
from Gen. Humphreys. chief Of the Engineer
Corps. transmitting and approving prellmi-
nary report agreed upon by the Board OF En-
gineers appointed to consider and report plan
for the improvement OF the navigation OF the
Mississippi River below the mouth OF the Ohio
River. The general plan OF Improvement pro-
posed by the Board is that OF contracting the
channel to an approximate low-water width of
$500 feet by means Of dykes OF brush. &C.. and
where the bed Of the river is found 10 be too
hard TO be worn away by the river current.
dredging In addition to tho reduction OF width
10 be resorted to. The Board say that the main
question Is one Of cost Previous then. 10 en-
terng upon any general scheme OF improve
m"nt involving an expenditure OF many mill
ions. this question should be settled in the only
practicable way. by trial.
That such n trial may test tho practicability
and the cost OF regulating the river and increas-
ing its lower water depth, one OF the worst
places should be selected. Such place is the
Plum Point reach. l60 miles below Cairo. This
reach Is about twenty miles in length. and pre-
sents IN many places excessive width. reaching
two miles at high water and a mile and n half at
low water. Should experience show thRt works
OF light character. such as hurdle work. brush.
ropes. and very light brush dykes, whose object
is TO make the river drop its sediment thus
building itself its contracting works. may be
largely used. the Board still do not estimate tho
cost OF obtaining ten feet OF water at low water
through this reach at less than $500. 700. Should
substantial dykes be required throughout this
cost may be tripled. The Board therefore rec
ommends in substance as follows: First. that
an appropriation OF 5000. 900 be asked for the
improvement of the Plum Island reach second.
that the improvement be- effected by narrowing
the shoal on wide portions Of the low water
river TO about $500 feet. and by protecting
cavinR banks where IL Is necessary.

THE EFFORT TO BEAT CoNKLINo.
Promises OF Patronage 90 Democrats and Re-
pubIicans-A Canvass OF the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The friends OF the
Fraudulent Administration are very confident
that they have ConklinR at disadvantage. and
that on Monday the New York nominations will
be confirmed. They boast that to-day they Sc
curedtwo more Republican votes. and drew away
from Conkling three Democratic votes. Entire
confidence cannot be placed in these boasts. So
far as have been able to ascertain day there
have been no changes on the Democratic sides.
A few Democratic Senators have been all
along uncertain as to the course they
should pursue. Still others were roticent
as to how thoy would vote. Senator Herman
was one OF the atter. He. however. said yester-
day. in executive session. that he would not
vote to confirm the nominations. The Demo
Gratis who will certainly vote against confrma-
ton are Barnum, .Cockrell. Eaton. Jones OF
Florida. Herman. MCPHERSON. Maxey. McDon-
aid. Voorhees,. and Davis of Illinois. Two or
three others have not positively said which way
they will vote, but they are pretty certain TO vote
against confirmation. The Republicans certain
to vote against confirmation arc Allison, An
thOny. Blaine. Booth. Bruce, Cameron (Pa.).
Cameron lWis). Chaffee. COnkling, Conover.
Jones, tNevl. Kellogg. kirkwood. Mitchell,

rate canvass. The influences brought 10 bear
on Republicans and Democrats are very potent
and hard to Withstand. II promises OF patron

Leans. such promises are being made and will
