Guelphs-is seeking, by means of a
single overloaded legislature, to man
age the police Of London, and the af-

shows some of the difficulties that

ever ready to lend a hand in any

of little poems for children. which
were set to music by Mr. Mason and
sung in the schools of Boston and aft

Among these were The well known,

Some criticisms have been made Of late on the fact
dredging work on the main channel at Sandy Hook.
Some weeks ago the steamship State of Alabama ar
rived at Boston from Palermo She is a British YES
sci, rated Al, and and is manned with British
crow Two weeks ago the steamer was brought to
New York and taken TO HardTen Roblnss Dry Docks.
In the Erie Basin, Brooklyn. There she IS being fitted
up with dredging apparatus. and in about another
week will begin her work on the main channel The
contract is for the taking out of about 1,OOO,OOO
cubic yards Of material, and is therefore valuable.
An investigation made yesterday showed that the
contract not held by the owners Of the State OF
Alabama, but by Joseph Cummings, tho proprietor OF
the old Columbia Foundry, No. 45 Duane-st On
board the vessel those in authority were not inclined
to talk on the matter but Mr.. Cummings readily tried
to explain lie said: IL have contracted with the
Government, through the Office Of LcutenantColonel
Gillespie OF the United Engineers. to try and do
piece OF work that others have repeatedly failed in
1t is, therefore, experiment, and decided at the
beginning that It would do to risk too great an
amount Of money. ! made fair offer to number OF
American vessels, but 1t was rejected by the few
which were suitable In their construction for our
work.
al, therefore, compelled TO go elsewhere, and
obtained permission from Washington, without any
trouble, to British steamer The state OF
Alabama in Palermo and chartered her there
OF did not think II advisable TO replace the

American seamen TO complement the force"
