appropriations; and that changed the permits from

WHAT CAPTAIN WILKINS SAYS.
Captain Williams said to TRIBUNE reporter last
evening that he had sent oat tow of four scows
Yesterday morning, and intended 10 send out an
other tow at a. IN. to-day. The dispatch which
! states that the dumping was not finished until
11:4O,' he added. is not correct. The
