DETROIT, Mich, July 24-Divers have
been at work all day looking for the bodies
OF the unfortunate victims of. Thursday
nights collision on the Detroit River. Thus
far they have failed to discover any traces Of
the.ill-fated Mamie. 1t lis believed that those
who were lost did not escape from the cabin
Of the, yacht before she sunk, and it is not
likely that their. bodies will ever be found
unless the wreck Is discovered.
The Investigation Of the disaster will be
begun on Monday by the Local Board
Of Government Inspectors, and will
be conducted by the. United States
District. Attorney, aud promises to
be very complete. It is now settled beyond
dispute that the Garland, after first running
into the Mamie, colllled with her a second
time, aud stove the hold, which caused her to
fill Immediately, thus preventing the escape
Of those who might haye gotten out of the
cabin and been rescued had the yacht re-
mained afloat but few minutes. For this
second collision there can be no excuse on
the part Of the :Garland's people which will
shift the responsibility from them. j

IMPROVEMENTS OF JAMES cR.sxK CANAL
In reply TO a note from Hon. NJ. T.. BuuIo. :"
the Senate District committee, requesting their
opinion as to the importance Of the suggestions
contained In memorial OF South Washington
citizens relative to the improvement OF James
creek canal, the Commissioners refer to their
letter OF the oath OF April, recommending as
sanitary measure an appropriation of S. 900 for
dredging the canal: but they state that they
think 1t very desirable, as suggested by the
memoralistS, that the wall On the east side of
the canal should Ee continued to the river a
distance Of from 200 to 800 feet. This work
would involve the increase OF the appropriation
from IS, 900 to 0,000 but would, In the opinion
Of the Commissioners, be great economy In the
end. and would be In accordance with the
policy OF retaining the flats and improving
the river front, which cannot be permanently
accomplished In this locality without such eX-
tension Of the retaining wall.
