THE Secretary of the Treasury re-
Gently rendered an opinion from the
Attorney-General in regard to the
method of disbursing the appropria-
tion of three hundred and thirty-iive
Thousand dollars, made at the last ses-
sion of Congress, for ''final aid to the
Worlds Industrial and Cotton Centen-
nial Exposition now being held in the
City of New Orleans" The Attorney
General holds that under the provisions
of the act making the appropriation it
can be used only in payment of claims
of persons and corporations living and
doing business outside of the State of
Louisiana, and in the payment of pre-
miums heretofore awarded or which
shall hereafter be awarded by the Ex-
position, in accordance with the awards
already published. Under this decis-
ion none of the claims made by resi-
dents of Louisiana. of which there are
quite large number, can be liqu;dated
ont cf this appropriation.

AN experiment in deepening the
channel of river, especially at its
mouth, is making fair progress in New
York Harbor, and promises to be sue
cessful. General Roy Stone. a diStin-
guished military commander during the
war, invented the plan which is being
tested, and, as is the case with other re-
markable inventions, it is extremely
simple, and everybody wonders why it
had not been thought of before. The
machinery consists only of steel hose
and pumping power by which a furi-
Gus jet of water is exploded on the
banks of sand, soil, solid sewage, and
other accretions at the bottom of the
channel. and the current bears the
most of the matter so stirred up out in
TO the sea.

Of German paper that England might
treat Russian pcivateers as pirates, thinks it
unlikely, but if she did Russia could easily
retaliate upon English residents of st.
Petersburg, with their property serving as
pledge and guarantee that no injury will be
inflicted on Russian crews except in honor

that Russia has formally notified Turkey
that sho Will consider Turkish neutrality to

Europe is not favorable for a campaign

against any one. We hope the Penjdeh
Incident will have no serious result.
