What Our Congressman Is Doing.

Washington special to the Portland Press
says: Representative Miliken is spending the hol-
days in preparing bills which he will offer on the
reassembling of Congress. The one that will pro-
badly attract the most attention is an amendment
to the pension laws. Under the existing statutes
where the father of deceased soldier draws a
pension as dependent party, the pension is not
vOided by the man remarrying. In the case of the
mother, however, it is different. She receives a
pension as long as she remains widow, but should
she marry the pension stops. Mr. Milliken cannot
see the justice Of this, and his bill will restore the
pension iii case of the death of her second hus-
band, provided that death leaves her in the same
destitute condition she was in prior to her rcmar-
riage.
He has also bill to amend the navigation laws
so that when vessel Is sold to persons living in a
port other than its original port of registry the
custom house at the latter place shall send a copy
OF the record to the new port Of registry SO tina,
there may be preserved a complete record of every
vessel Of American registry. Hitherto vessels
state of things. ''
MIR. Milliken says he will introduce into the
House the Blair educational bill or some similar
measure. He has not canvassed the House and
does not, ne says, know what chances the bil
stands OF going through.
The most Important work the member from Rel
fast Is engaged on is tariff legislation He saws he
has formed his own ideas on the subject but as he
does not know yet what shape tariff Legislation
will take, he prefers to say nothing about lis meas
ure at the present time.

Dredging Gedney's Channel. New York.

Capt. Ernest O. Patterson, of Belfast, master of
the steamer Mount Waldo, that formerly ran from
the pen0bscot to New York, writes the Journal an
interesting letter from Atlantic Highlands. The
Mount Waldo is one of three steamers engaged
in dredging out the Gcdney channel at the entrance
to New York harbor, ami has been at this work
since last September. The contract calls for eigh-
teen months more labor. The channel is to be
deepened to thirty feet at low water. The steamer
has been fitted up expressly for the work She has
two of Edwards cataract pumps, fifteen inches i'll
diameter, which are worked by two engines. Sue
ton pipes fifteen inches in diameter and sixty five
feet long arc let down to the bottom and the steam
er going ahead slowly the pipes are dragged along
the bottom, the lower end being fixed to two
wheels to allow them to move over the bottom
easily, and the material on the bottom is sucked
up. The steamer carries about 800 yards of the
bottom material, which is composed of sand mixed
with pebbles. The steamer is loaded in twenty
dumps the material in fourteen fathoms of water
Valves in the bottom Of the steamer are opened to
! allow the material to go out, the dscharging pro
cess occupying from five to seven minutes. The
part of the channel in which the Mount Waldo is
at work is 1000 feet long and 1000 feet wide, the
extremes being marked with buoys. A govern
mcnt inspector is on board all the time and closely
watches operations. Work begins at daylight and
continues until after dark. Capt. Patterson says
they are doing good work and have not been de
| tanned one day on account of the weather. Inter
esting specimens, including fish and shells are
pumped up some of which the captain says he
