WASHINGTON, 0. O., March 7.-Senator
Kenna to day, in speaking Of the contro.
versy over the construction Of a railroad
bridge over the Great Kanawha river at
Charleston, w. Va, said that there was
nothing In the story that the Chesapeake 4
Ohio Railroad Company wanted to build
the bridge diagonally across the river. He
says that tho railroad company only desir.
cd to erect the piers parallel with the cur.
rent Of the channel. Mr.. Kenna says, 10
place the piers IN any other position would
seriously Interfere with navigation. He
says the only. difference Of opinion is as to
the height ottthebridge above the chan.
mel Of the river. Z w q s%ii Stt.S.N {,
The railroad company want 10 make it
seventy feet, while some othprSpersona in
terested In the navigation OF the river want
the height at eighty or ninety feet. When
MIR. kenCa introduced bill on the Oh OF
February last to authoriz The construction

and to prescribe the dimensions oil the game
he said in introducing this bill -: !,

II de'ire to tay tha! there is difference
Of opinion as to the propricty of the height
Of the bridges authorized by it to be con-
structed 30 -as not to interfere with

There are also other provisions Of the
bill which ! have not personally inve3u-
gated, to which l wish to give scme atten-
tion and perhaps make some suggestions

There ia general desire to have the
bridge; but likewise there is q universal
feeling against interference with naviga-
ton. l shall place all available iniorma.
tion on the subject before the committee
and hope that # the bill is not now as 1t
may be, no formulated rs to permit the
bridges aud some harmless navigation"
Mr.. kenna said to your correspondent
this afternoon that the whole subject had
been referred to the engineer corps OF the
War Department, and that no bill that
Nh Mitchell or anyone else could intro.
duce would effect the decision which will
be made 10 the engineers OF the Secretary
Of War, and he was Of the opinion that tho
law passed by Congress- would be in ac-
cordanca with the recommendations made
