The Mare Island Dry Dock.
Wash INGToN, May 27th.-Although Rep
resentatip Berrys' amendment to the sundry
civil bill to. day, providing for an increase of
the appropr alton for the Mare Island drv
dock, was supp 'orted by him and by Horace
Davis with excellent arguments, showing
alike the impo, lance of the work and the
economy of finishi. g it at once, the force of
the argument was on -ercome in the minds of
the majority by the fl ct developed by Blount
of Georgia, that the con 'mittee had granted in
the bill every dollar of the total estimate
(S75,0O0) submitted BY the Department
as necessary for this purp ose during the next
fiscal year. just why the Department made
so small an estimate is not h own, but 1t was
learned by Senator Booth and Representative
Berry this morning from Seer etary Thomp-
son, on whom they called with reference to
this matter, that he had prepared letter to
Congress recommending a large increase in
the item for the Mare Island dry-dock, when
he found reason to change his mind. or at
least suspend his determination concerning it,
i'll consequence of the delivery to him
by ey State Senator Hilborn of
very unwisely framed pamphlet prepared
by the Vallejo Board Of Trade, in which
insinuations were made that the Secretary
entertained some purpose of abandoning the
Mare Island Navy Yard from motives either
ridiculous or worse, whereas no such idea has
ever been entertained by him at any time
whatever. After considerable conversation
on the subject with Booth and Berry, the
Secretary agreed to recommend to the Senate
Committee on Appropriations an increase of
the $4,000 to Sl50,000, and it is therefore
quite possible that the bill may finally be
thus amended in the Senate

hottest ever known here in May. This makes
