wv hen do you propose to begin worl
on the improvement of the noble .Teemsy'
asked TINES representative yesterda,
Of Major Burgwyn, the resident engi
neer in charge of the river improvement
at this point.
81 am only waiting for orders from
headquarters" he replied.
How do these orders conner"
From the Department officers in Wash
lngton to the hief Engineer, Colone
Craighill, through whom they are trans
mitted to me-"
"Will there be much DELAY ?"
mo, none. Alresdy am engaged in
doing some preliminary work necessary
10 be done before the regular work car
ne begun, and as the money for the regu
lar improvements has been appropriated
it will be only a short time now before
hey will be well under way."
What do you propose to dO?"
1--WE will, in the first place, look aftei
repairing all damage which NAV have
been suffered by the present ietties
then we will go to work to add a mum
her of additional jetiies so as 10 obtain
and maintain the desired depth of water
We will also continue the work of remcv-
ing the rock ledge, which extends 10
about two miles below the CITY"
What will be tie main scope of your
work ?"
"The chief object to which attention
will be directed will be making deep
water basin from Drcwrys Bluff 10 tue
rock ledge above mentioned, and which
is really the most serious d fiiculty in The
way of deep water navigation TO the city.
The money, however, will. of course, not
be expended entirely on this, but will be
used in any Improvements of the river
which may be deemed advisable"
"The $225,000 which has been appro.
priated will do a great deal towards the
work of Improvement, will it not ?".,
"Oh, yes. That is the largest appro-
priation which has ever been made in
any one year, and it must accomplish a
great deal Of good. But after all it is
not so large as it would seem, because
last year the appropriation failed, and
this is really an appropriation for two
years. Ii will he indiciously expended,
however, and the Government will have
no cause TO regret the investment"
Just at this point Major Burgwyn's at
iention was called off to something else,
and the interview came 10 rather an alb
rupt termination Enough was ascer-
lained, however, to give very reliable and
information as TO the
present status and future outlook of the
of James river, which
when the expected depth is obtained,
will be at this point the nearest
leep water outlet to the ocean that will
'e offered TO the great and rapidly grow

Remember that st. Petersburg is on the

that you are on the direct route to the

ants are Just plowing and sowing for
their summer crops, and in the csty
heavy oyercoats and furs seem quite at
home
There is one thing, however, that
strikes an American very agreeably as
well as strangely, and that is the suddenly
increased length Of the days. Even now
the sun does not set until about . o'clock
and rises no one knows how carly; and
soon the longest days will have reached
here when the Sun is only nominally be-
low the horizon from one-quarter past 10

twilight is so bright that one can read

much to do in maturing the harvest so
