New YORK, May 6.-The towns of Gil

The soul of the Quincy Journal man is
narrowed up with gall and woom wood.
He don't like engineers, it seems from the
following
Work began to day on the repairs to the
government obstruction known as the
West Quincy wing dam. In time of high
water it is possible for small boats to go
over the wing dam, which doesn't suit the
government engineers at all, and accord
ingly there are going to build it five feet
higher These engineers wish it under
stood that when they lay out channel
for the Mississippi river she must get
right up and travel in it. And if steam
boat men ignore this channel the en-
gineers will fence so high with wingdams
! that even the smoke of the boats will be
unable to get over on the forbidden ter
ritory. Great men, are these engineers
Great because were not great, they
wouldn't be able to ruin great river as
they are running the Mississippi. OF
course they will build this wingdam high
cr in spite of all that the pilots and ex-
perienced rivermen can say against it.
and of course the river will cut it out just
as the pilots say it will And then when
the engineers are short of job again
they will tackle it once more, and again
build it up. The engineers are as great
frauds as the wingdams are.

BUFFALO, May 6-The situation along the

going on between the 'Iongshoremen and the
Italians, the latter being represented by T
W. DeFellippo, of New York, manager OF
the New York Labor bureau, and JOIN
Roffo, wealthy Italian of this city Al
represented to DeFellippo, the Italians wer
working at starvation wages and keeping the
regular longshoremen out of work, and ht
agreed to go among his countrymen and ex
plain matters to them, saying it was only
through ignorance that they take such ac
ton. DeFellippo and Roffo called on
Mr.. Bullard, of the Union steamboa;
company and asked permission to circulat.
among the men which was refused. Mr..
Bullard stated to them that he had contracts
with the men to pay them $50 a month fol
ten hours work day, and Is cents an hom
overtime, the men to have two days in eacE
month. The men were being lodged il
the company's buildings on the dock, where
beds had been put up, and they appear cheer
full and well satisfied They are being fec
at the company's expense. DeFellippo, after
talking to few of the men, said that they
were apparently well paid and cared for
that the case had been misrepresented tc
him. The result of the visit to the Italians
will be communicated to the 'Longshoremer
union meeting The latter continue the bit

The steamer LIE Claire Belle made a re

She left Beef Slough and delivered her

large one, scaling nearly million feet.
On her way down she passed ten boats
tied up for wind or for darkness. The
weather was very bad, and in some cases
the packets were forced to tie up on ac-
count of high winds. Capt. II. Short is
her commander, and it is safe to say that

Twenty-fourth and Spring Garden streets,
and heard the report of the committee ap-
pointed at recent meeting to inquire into
the causes which led TO the delegates
elected under the auspices of that body being
denied admission to seats in the city COM
mittee and the recent state convention. John
Hogan, the chairman, read the report,
which was couched in bitter Ian guage, and
was particularly severe upon Randall, charg-
ing him with setting things up at ward meet

general interest in tbs report, however, was
the portion referring TO tine tariff question,

form and criticites Randalls position on tbs
subject. Five thousand copies of the re
port were ordered printed to be sent to con

New YORK, May Ga gentleman called
upon Mr.. Blaine at Washington for the pur-
pose of finding out his estimate of his
strength now that all the delegates to chi
cago are elected. He supposed that he would
have no difficulty in getting very accurate
estimate. He was very much surprised to
find that Mr.. Blaine showed great ignorance
upon, the subject He said he had made no
estimate and had no means of judging.
"But where is your list of delegates
elected| said the visitor.
Mr. Blaine replied that he had no list, and
that none had been furnished him. Mr.. Blaine
said this in such an easy, Indifferent manner
as to very much astonish the visitor. Mr..
Blaine continued by saying that he was keep
ing his mind as free as possible from any CON
sideration of presidential possibilities.
He said: II am sure my pulse would not
vary three beats at the news of any ones

"What would be the condition of your pulse

Mr.. Blaine's eyes twinkled as he said that
it possibly might go up a few beats. Mr..
Blaine was asked who would be his choice in
case he should fell to be nominated. He said
that was something he would not care to in
dicate to any one. Beyond saying that al

of the candidates were absolutely untrue ht

Col. George bliss Finishes IIis story, and
Breathing Spell.
In beginning his testimony before tho
Springer investigating committee yesterday
Mr.. Bliss said the question had been asked
him why ho did not try some other case than
the Dorsey case. lie continued, "I did my
best to havo some other case tried. There
were number Of small cases. Merrlck and
| had some talk on ehe matter. He said that
he thought II was unwise TO tako up these
smaller cases, and nothing was DONE"
Mr.. Bliss gave detailed account OF tho
papers before tho grand juries. Referring to
the testimony of Mr. Hutchinson, foreman of
one Of the grand iuries, that he had promised
that Price should be witness before tho
Jury, Mr.. Bliss said, "l can't reconcile Mr..
Hutchinsops testimony with the facts that
existed. 1 never said Price would appear
noxt day, VI said wol hoped to have Price as
q witness Mt the trial"
The witness gavo his reasons for opposing
tho acceptance Of Prico. as n witness, and
granting him immunity. Ho said; II urged
that Prices statement was Incomplete. |
thought ho had not given enough for his
immunity. He had boon in oil the rascality,
and didn't believe he was telling MS all
that no knew. Woodward was told TO in
torview Price and get all that he could from
him. On tho result of that interview tho
attorney general decided to accept him ns
witness. i thought we were to be consulted
on that matter before decision was made.
When | came back from New York l found
that the attorney general had decided TO ac-
copt Prico without the consultation. thought
that faith had been broken, and l thought
that Mr.. MorricS had something to do with
il.
Referring to tho prosecution Of Kellogg
Mr.. Bliss said "rho question came up that
tho prosecution of Kellogg would change the
republican majority in the senate, and then
tho question OF postponing the trial until afteI
his term should expire. / said Kellogg was
guilty enough to bo indicted. lie was toe
guilty TO remain in tho senate aud make laws
| novor said IL was n serious thing to indlct 0
United States senator A colorod juror made
tho remark, and /, perhaps, replied that II
was Reference has been made to Kellogg
being my friend. When no camo to mo with
the Brewster note didn't know him. IhavC
had but two interviews with him-once here
and once in New York--and have met hin
on the street three times and made passing
recognition. / said to Ar. Merrick at one
time that if Kellogg was indicted people
would say IL was dono through him and be-
cause he was democrat"
Mr.. Bliss referred to the proposed arbitra
! tion Of the star route cases, and said he die
not propose to arbitrate until the grand jury
refused to indlct. He also pointed out numcr
erous alleged errors of minor Importance il

which completed his evidence, and the com
mittee adjourned
