Colonel Poe's Report and Recommendations
Additional Appropriations Required.

WASHINGTON, July 81. Lieutenant colonel
Poe, having in charge the Improvement of rivers
and he>aers in Michigan, has made his annual
report to the Chief of Engineers. He recon-
mends that the channel at Lmekin crossing be
made 400 feet wide, instead of 800, as at frs t
contemplated. In the Saginaw river it is pro-
posed to secure channel Of 200 feet in width,
with depth of fourteen feet from Saginaw bay
to Bay City, and twelve feet thence to the head of
the river, a distance of about twenty three miles
Hay lake channel, in the Saut Ste Marie river
Colonel Poe says, should be deepened to twenty
feet. He thiuks fully seven years will be occu-
pied in accomplishing the results, and it will be
we'll to remember that the improvement will not
become available until the whole is compile ted
A large appropriation is recommended for the
improvement of st. Mary's Falls canal and river,
between Lakes Superior and Huron. The in
crease in tonnage urges, in the strongest way,
that the work of preparing to take care of a com
merce greater than the present canal and lockage
system could accommodate shall be entered upon

used by nearly 40, coo vessels a year. carrying
nearly 20 O00O000 tons. 1t is proposed to widen

FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.
Tho Train Which Will Convey the Generals
Remains to Saratoga.

Mt. McGREGoR, July 27.-Manager D. H.
Fonda, of the Mountain railroad, has to-day
determined upon the arrangement of the train
that will convey the remains and family of
General Grant from here to Saratoga. The
body will be placed on what is known as an OBJ
servation car. This is thirty five feet long, with
standard posts at the corners and sides, which
support roof over all. The car is inclosed on
all sides to height of three feet from
the floor, with seats running engthwse
of the car, on each side. These seats
will be removed. The rear of the car will
be entirely open, and every part of the
car will be draped in mourning The remains
will be placed upon the funeral car from the
rear, and will rest upon heavy pedestals in the
middle of the car and upon this car there will
Thirteen of them will comprise the guard of
honor from U. S. Grant Post and the other
thirteen will be selected from the regulars who
are expected here from Fort Porter, by order Of
General Hancock The car bearing the remains
will be attached directly to the engine, and be-
hind the remains will follow the ordinary pas
senger coach Of the road, in which the family
will be accommodated. This latter bears
the name Eastern Outlook" which is
the point of observation to which
General Grant was last wheeled in his
Bath chair, the morning before he died. It is
the same car in which the dead General ascended
the mountains just seven weeks before the hour
on which his remains will arrive at Saratoga on
Tuesday, Aug. 4. If other cars are attached to
the funeral train, they will be for the conven-
ience of those most nearly concerned in the
conduct of the obsequies, The train will con-
sumo one hour in running down to Saratoga
from the mountain top, being twenty minutes
more than the usual schedule. The transfer Of
the remains will made at the Saratoga terminus
of the mountain road, this being necessary
because the mountain funeral car is mounted
upon narrow gauge trucks, while the connecting
roads are Of the usual broad guage.

IRON AND STEEL PRODUCTION.
Statistics of the Pig Iron and BeSsemer Steel
Industries for the First Half of the Year.

PHILADELPHIA July 27-The American Iron
and Steel Association has received from the
manufacturers complete statistics of the produc-
ton Of pig-iron and Bessemer and open hearth
steel in the United States in the first half of
1885, together with the statistics of the stocks Of
pig-iron on hand and unsold at the close of that
period. In the first half of 1885 the total pro
duction of pgron was 2, 150 SIG net tons of
1000 pounds, against 2, ,267, ,02l tons in the first
half of 1884, and 2 522 592 tons in the second
half. 1t will be observed that in the second half
of 1884 more pigiron was produced than in the
first half The production of anthracite pig iron
declined in the last half of 1884 as compared
with the first half, but the produc-
ton of charcoal and bituminous pig iron
increased. In the first half of 1885 the
productions of all kinds of pig iron declined, as
compared with the last half of 1884 The stocks
of pig-iron on hand and unsod, in the hands of
works or their agents, at the close of the first
half of 1885, amounts to 592 916 net tons, against
593, 900 tons at the close of 1884 and 533, 500
tons at the close of 1883. The aggregate
increase in the first half Of 1885 was nearly 100,
900 tons. From the close Of 1884 to the end of
June last charcoal stocks increased % 908 tons. bi
luminous increased la, 406 tons, and anthracite
decreased 40, 1893 tons; net increase SO, 9l6 tons
From these statistics the secretary of the Amer
lean Iron and Steel Association concluded that
pig iron manufacturers, especially the Western
bitumnous workers, have been making too much
pig Iron during the first half of the present year
The rolling mill troubles in the West are doubt
less wholly responsible for the accumulation of
bituminous stock. Obviously it would be unwise,
he thinks, to increase the gap that exists
between production and consumption, unless
furnace men deliberately wish to make pgron
and hold it for rise, and are able to mold it.
The production of Bessemer steel ingots in the
first half of 1885 was 763, 344 net tons, against
5000 net tons in the second half Of 1884 and
8l69 945 tons IN the first half of 1884. The half
year just closed shows gain of 1864
net tons, which is duo in part to
the demand for Bessemer steel nails,
and other purposes, as compared with the first
half of 1884. However, the first half of 1885
shows decrease of 53 COL tons. The production
of Bessemer steel rails in the first half of 1885
was 452, 446 net tons. against 523 25l tons in the
last half. The falling off, compared with the
first six months of 1884, was l40, 924 net tons,
and as compared with the second six months it
was 70, 500 tons. The production of open hearth
steel ingots in the first six months of 1885 was
6S,S39 net TONS against 1873 tons in the second
half of 1884, and II, 744 tons in the first half

They Are Not Keeping Faith with Cen
erous Government.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July 27.-It seems that the
whisky dealers will never be satisfied with their
treatment by the government They are con-
tinually asking favors that men representing
any other kind of business have not the hardi-
hood to request. After securing decision which
granted those who wanted to send their goods TO
other countries to avoid bond tax seven months
in which to make expectation, and having de-
clared their intention to export, as to get that
period of bond extension, the government is con-
fronted with the fact that it has been imposed
upon and that the expectations have not been
made. The request for the extension Of seven
months was made only to avoid payment of the
tax due
The government has notified these dealers
who were given the seven months extension
that they must pay their tax their goods will
be seized and sold. When this extension for eX-
portation purposes was granted, the government
required that bond should be filed, in each
instance where extension was granted. the bond
to guarantee that expectation would be made
within the allotted seven months. Now the
owners of the whisky are trying to induce the
government to on the bonds to require expor-
tation or payment of taxes otherwise due. Of
course, this contemplates a suit on each bond,
and the time thus gained by the dealers would
be at least another year, and the expense, com
pared to the advantage gained would be nom
inal
Considering the fact that it takes time to make
whisky marketable, and the greater its age the
greater its value. this practice is contemplate;
and doubly contemplate is it in view of the fact
that the government has done SO much for them
even granted seven months time in which
whisky owners may export and fetch back stock,
without import duties, for the sole purpose of
depriving the government of revenue The
whisky men have acted so contemptibly in these
transactions that they will be called to account
for it by Congress.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July 27.-Charges of offensive
partisanship" are being filed by wholesale
against Republicans from Indiana and Ohio in
federal positions here. During the presidential
campaign, last summer and fall the Republican
State associations here effected thorough organ
izations, and issued, in pamphlet form, their
constitution and by laws, together with rosters
of their membership. The pamphlets are play
ing prominent part now in removing Repub'
licans from Office. It is taken as sufficient
proof of offensive partisanship' that name
appears on one Of these rosters. The Jefferson
Democratic Club is doing the work of making
charges, and, although these pamphlets have
nearly all been destroyed or put under lock and
key and sacred]y held, detective has succeeded
in procuring one issued by the Ohio Republican
Association, and charges are being filed against
all its members now in federal Offices. $50 far,
efforts to procure one of the Indiana Republican
Associations rosters have proved futile; but it is
only a question of time when it will be got hold
Of" said the secretary of the Jefferson Club to
the Journal correspondent this afternoon. 1t
looks now as though every Republican in the
departments here would be removed from posi-
ton, as nearly all-surely nine out of every
ten-were members Of these associations.
