WORK DURING APRIL-EFFECr OF THE RECENT
FRESHEST.


Col p. {. Hams, in his report to the chief OF
engineers OF the operations for improving tho
Potomac river front during April, states that
dredging operations were carried on In the
Washington and Virginia channels below Long
bridge with three hydraulic dredges There
were two freshets In the early part of April,
which caused "A suspension OF dredging for
several days. The highest point reached was
six feet above low water at Easby's Point The
current was very strong ia both channels. Az
been a deposit OF material along the west side
of the Virginia channel below Easby's Point
and in the Washington channel below Long
bridge, amounting IN some places to four feet
and more in depth. This Will happen after all
heavy freshefs until the work IL ia a more adj
vanced state Alter section z has been dlled
the diminished width OF the river will, IL is be-
lleyed, prevent the deposit OF material In the
Virginia channel above Long bridge, opposite
this section, and as the water cannot then
make its way across the flats, there Will be no
deposit In the Washington channel There has
been dredged a channel 300 ieet wide and 20
deep between West Washington aud Giesboro
Point, which is being further widened and
deepened. The Washington channel, along the
city front below Long bridge, is also being
widened and deepened. About 800 acres have
been reclaimed from overflow at ordinary high
tide, and of the 12,0oo,O0o cubic yards re-
quired 10 I'LL the flats there has been deposited
on them 81 &c, 500 cubic yards. Dredging will
be continued and the material deposited on the
Hats.

A SENSATION AT THE CAPITOL.
A Naked Man Rushes Through the Ro.
tunda and Poses Under the Dome.

There was decided sensation created at the
Capitol about 10 O'Clock this morning. AS us
ual at that hour a few persons Of both sexes
were seated in the rotunda. The police officer
OF the day, who was among the number, was
astounded by seeing a rapidly moving figure
which suddenly eh,erged from the northern
corridor leading from the circular air-duct and
ventilator. 1t was the figure Of a man stark
naked. With a yell he bounded along to the
round stone, which marks the center of the
rotunda. He planted himself upon that stone,
and, folding his arms, he struck a heroic atti-
tude. With eyes raised to the top of the dome,
he exclaimed that he was going through the
House of Representatives, as speaker Carlisle
had told him to got razor and have that
erased" pointing to some letters and symbols
inserted on his arm in India ink. The police
Immediately rushed to the man, who made no
to the Speaker and declaring that he would
not put on his clothes. He continued to ask
lor a. razor as he was being escorted to the
put in response to numerous questions said he
had claim here.
Just behind the folding doors through which
the stairway leading to the dome is reached the
man clothing was found. He had evidently
sought that retired spot and deliberately UNI
who were in the rotunda said the man came
with long bounds, yelling rs he ran. An Eng
taken seat within the rotund says That when
he first saw the figure he took ii to be a statue,
the man S attitude was fixed.
The patrol wagon was telephoned for and soon
arrived with a quartette OF metropolitan police
Meantime the mans clothing had been found
but he refused positively TO dress himself. He
was taken in charge by the four Metropolitan
policemen, and aided by one of the Capitol
force they succeeded in getting the fellow re-
clad He was then conveyed To headquarters
The officer who guards the dome informed a
STAR reporter that he had seen the man about
the Capitol for several days past He says that
the Strangers peculiar conduct aroused his sus-
piciOn that he was q crank and he kent an eve
upon him, fearing he might take it into his
head TO jump from the dizzy height OF the
dome.
The man is evidently crazy and perhaps was
unable to tell his name
