Major McIxenZie's Report.

WAsHINGToN, July pa series of reports
by Major A. Mckenzie corps of engineers,
United States army, relating to the works of
improvement upon the upper Mississippi have
been received at the Office of the chief of
engineers. In relation to operations of snag
boats, Major Mckenzie says: THE work carried
on under the appropriation is of very great i'm
portance to the interests Of navigation, and if it
is the desire of the government to foster the
carrying trade Of the upper Mississippi at the
present time of low freiehts and railway compe
titiOn. NAV almost be called indSpensab!e If
such trade is to be successfully continued
the expenses Incidental to delays, damages
etc, resulting from snagS, wrecks, overhanging
trees, etc, must be reduced to the lowest posi-
bic limit. | believe permanent provision should
be made for this work of snaSging, wrecking and
tree-cuttins, and pulling and clearing
banks, finding and marking new
channels, making surveys, soundings and
examinations assisting boats in distress, watch
ing and repairing existing improvements, inves-
tigating art. supervising work on bridges, col
lecting physical data and statistics of commerce
and navigation IN general, facilitating and re-
ducing expenses Of navigation. The
appropriation required for this work
would be about $50 900 annually.
The report states that no work had been carried
on at Winona, there being cavng banks to
protect, as indicated in the river and harbor re-
port: The improvement of the upper Misss-
sippi river" Major Mckenzie reports from St.
Paul to Des Moines rapids, can be carried on to
far greater advantage with large than with such
small appropriations as have heretofore been
made. would respectfully recommend an ap-
preparation of 81, 800 600 for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1887, and further provision for sew
eral years could be made at the time, and great
good would result therefrom. The section of
the river for which this appropriation is recon-
mended is about 525 miles in length. and the
amount suggested will give less than So, 900 per
mile: The amount now available tor this work
is $75, 992."

fighting for years, and is what makes American
laborers slaves; yet the party in power favors
this class of workers"
But the Secretary says ne must give the
contracts to the lowest bidders" suggested.
THE law provides" was the reply, that the
contracts must be given to the lowest and best
bidders, and there are other discretionary pow
ers within the Secretary If he thinks con-
tractors for convict and imported labor are the
best bidders all right. Well meet him at
Philipp on that issue We have consulted the
highest legal ability here and find, on the con-
trary. that it is unlawful to let the contracts as
the Secretary has done. But we could do moth
ing in court of justice combating the govern
ment- Then, too, must we pay lawyers to sim
ply contend for the right whore We have no
money at issuel Are we to have a government
that must be sued that justice shall be meted
out to it's subjects4 1t is merely a political
question in the mind Of the administration,
and so let it be. I want the
laboringmen throughout the country to know
that the vaunted friend Democracy has stabbed
them in the back on the first opportunity. There
are dozen reasons laid down in the United
States Statutes why the class Of labor that l
mention may be excluded from recognition in
government contracts. These have all been
pointed out, but Secretary Manning seems
anxious TO favor the rich contractors with their
convict and imported laborers.
Quite lot of agitation has been created here
over the matter, and the leader in it all is man
who left the Republican party last summer and
joined the Democrats, on account of the New
York Tribune, B!aine's organ, having rated
its office. Now, he says, he is doue with the
Democratic party; that it is deceiver, and its
leaders are dishonest

SPLITTING DEMOCRATIC HAIRS.

The Old Man of the Southern Mountains
Can'r Swallow Grover for Bourbon.
Washington Special
An old man with struggling beard and inn
mense shock of hair flowing down about his
shoulders entered one Of the departments the
other day and asked to see the Secretary. The
strange appearance of the old fellow indicated
that he was a crank, and the doorkeeper refused
to admit him. Nevertheless. he pressed the
waiting official and declared himself an oldtime
personal friend of the Sec~etary's The latter,
hearing the alteration, came to the door him
self. He seemed & little surprised at the apparl-
alton, but quickly recovered and asked the old
man i'll.
You see Uncle Bill, l thought you had cut
your hair and beard long ago" said the Secre
tary.

shaking his head. Il amt read yet"
you swore you wouldn't until Democratic
President was elected, and haven't we got there

Yes, sure, took an oath of that sort; but
look here, don't see my way clear yet"
The Secretary laughed good hunore6ly, and
said that was pretty good.
'.We amt satisfied down our way that we've
really got q Democratic President" continued
the old man. sometimes we think he mought

RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.
Reports of Engineer Allen of Work Done in
the Northwest.

WASHINGTON, July pa series of annual
reports from Maj. Charles Allen, United States
engineer, upon the various works in the upper
Mississippi region in his charge have been re-
ceived by the Chief of Engineers. In that relat-
ing to ST Anthony Falls, he calls attention to
the fact that the flank of the works in progress
by the government rests upon private mill
dams, some of which are now leaky, and are
liable to give way. He says: "a radical change
of plan Of exterior works of protection (under-
standing by these the apron wings and rolling
dams), and such as would best serve to preserve
the falls, would call for the removal of most, if
not all the mill dams from the bed of
the stream, the extension of the rolling
dams from bank to bank and large extension of
the apron work, to consist of proper timber or
concrete. If the government adheres to the pres
ent plan of exterior works for protecting the
falls, the sum of $50 900 will be needed for the
fiscal year ending June 30 1855" Major Allen, in
his report upon the reservoirs at the headwaters
of the Mississippi river, says The three complet-
ed dams had impounded by the close of the fiscal
year-over and above what was allowed to flow
during the fall and winter months, and during
March, April, May and June-twenty four
thousand million cubic feet of water, a
quantity which eQualed expectations for
that time This result having been
so far as the effects upon the channel are
cerned from the discharge of the impounde6
water it only be said that the public must
not expect from three reservoirs the same result
as from the entire number contemplated The
system, as originally reported on, provided for
forty.one reservoir dams in Minnesota and Wis
consin
Major Allen also submits an estimate Of $50, 600
for surveys for reservoirs at the sources of the
Mississippi, st. Croix, Chippewa and Wis
consin rivers. Major Allen submits the
following estimates of amounts which can
be proftaby expended during the fiscal year
ending June go 1887: For the Mississippi river,
above ST Anthonys Falls $l5, 900; for the Chip
pewa river, Wisconsin, $50, 600: for the Chippewa
river below Taylor's Falls, in Minnesota and
Wisconsin, $26, 45O; for the Red River of the
North, Minnesota and Dakota $45, 900; for the
harbor at Duluth, 1928, ,000 for Superior bay,
$50, 600; for the harbor at Grand Maras, SAC, 0O0
for the construction of a dam at Goose Rapids,
Red River Of the North, 800 900.

ships, 'of the best and modern design" "havins
the highest attainahle speed and upon plans
determined upon after consideration of all
designs heretofore adopted by the department."
One of the first duties of this board would be to
go through the designs and decide whether any
OF them should be adopted. Assuming that they
would find none of them entirely satisfactory,
he then explained to the board what
function it was that he wanted them to perform.
He stated that while the law put the obligation
OF construction upon the Secretary of the Navy,
it expected him to DO the work through others
The Secretary called attention to the fact that
the department is largely inexperienced, com
pared with similar departments in other
countries because it had not been supplied with
means for construction OF modern ships, its
duties for a number of years having been con-
fined TO repairing old wooden ships.
He therefore advised the board to
proceed cautiously and surelys and said
that if the board deemed it advisable to secure
more detailed information i'll regard to naval
construction in other countries, before arriving
at a conclusion the department was prepared to
furnish the necessary money to accomplish that
purpose He considered that it would ne wise
and judicious expenditure. He had for three
months been expending money in that direction,
and had collected good deal of information.
In saying this he did not wish
to be understood as rejecting upon the depart
ment. 1t was very difficult to keep abreast OF
the times, especially so for country that was
not building ships. There was plenty of time to
act deliberately and wisely. 1t was sufficient
for the present to consider this first stage of the
work.
There are about seventy five plans for vessels,
in the whole or in part before the board The
greater portion of the day was passed by the
board in preliminary work. The plans were
classified, that the examination might be con-
Quoted more rapidly.
