Mississippi River improvements.
Special to the Globe

WASHINGTON, July 17.-There is to bea
vigorous fight against the Mississippi river
commission. Its methods do not give salts
faction TO people who have had experience
along the river and upon il. There Is TO be
a strong effort 10 have the system of this
commission changed. Capt. Peter FichelS
of Cincinnati. who has been more than a
quarter of a century on the river, said TO
your correspondent in a recent visit here:
''The work of the commission so
far is 4 useless waste of money.
Millions of dollars of the public
moneys lave been spent on the present eX-
perimental $50 called) system OF improve
ments. This money is wanted. Every ex-
perienced navigator of the Western waters
knows the work is a complete failure. The
Mississippi river commission should have
been better posted regarding the nature of
this great river. Its bed is neither clay,
gravel nor rock, but quicksand. They have
wasted millions of dollars in the construc-
ton of mattresses only TO sink to the bot
tom of the river. and driving piles which
pop out of the sand and float off. A very
little money expended on a common
sense plan will put it in good condition for
navigation what is your plan, cap
tain?' First, clear the river of all OBJ
Structions. Second. open up certain nearly
natural outlets and improve them with
food gates, etc. so rs 10 drain off the food
water of the Mississippi and its tributaries.
The river current slackenS its speed from
Red river down. The distance from New
Orleans TO the gulf by the river
is 120 miles. From New Orleans 10
Lake BOrgne Is only five miles.
Lake BOrgne has an outlet
to the gulf, and is on a level with the sea.
If we cut a channel to this lake we GER
tainly lower the food line this much, and
by increasing the swiftness of the current
will cut out the channel and deepen this
much. This will lower il within the banks
and DO away with the necessity for leveeS.
There are other natural outlets of this
character which can also be utilized. and
the river greatly improved and confined
within its banks at a very small cost"

that a senator and three representatives
united, some days ago, in an effort TO get
the president to appoint a friend OF theirs
to an Office. They were jealous, adroit
and persistent and they made a
strong impression on the presidents
mind. II am really very much satisfied
with what you all concur in saying Of your
friend" said he. 81 nave almost concluded
that he is the man for the place. Where
can l write to him in ease L should van to
see him?' ''Oh," said all four, ''he is here
in Washington. He has been here since
the 4th of March. You can see him at
once" Gentlemen" said the president,
''that settles your man for me. If he is
here and has been waiting around here
IDoN'T WANT HIM.
If he has any business at home he must
have neglected it, and a man who neglectS
his w business will neglect the govern
ment'S. If he has no business, that Is worse
yet. L don't want idlerS in the public ser
vice. I'll look for someone else. l will
not trust with offices men who abandon
their business and come here to hang around.
When l want a man I'll send for him.
Some of the presidents visitors were la
menting the possibility of a cholera vista
ton the other day. Mr.. Cleveland said:
Don't alarm yourselves needleSSly, for my
part l would not mind if there were two or
three cholera cases now in front of the
White house. L gueSs they would scare of

insecurity has settled upon the citizens and
they are anxious to see the end Of the labor
trouble. A notice was posted IN the mills
this morning. announcing that the mills
would be closed indefinitely, or until the
men were willing TO return to work. This
has somewhat allayed the feeling of unrest.
as the men who were willing TO resume
work in the mills were afraid 10 do so. for
fear of being waylaid and murdered, or
their houses burned. The police authorities
feel confident that there will not be another
outbreak until the mills are started up, or
when the men are paid off. The foreign
element of the strikers feel their defeat
keenly, and their wailings are loud and
