The Secretary OF Var has decided the
question OF the btidge span in just and
fair and reasonable Spirit He has ordered
that the railroad companies shall submit
plans for a center span Of 730 feet and two
side spans Of 600 feet each, which, with
the forty feet necessary for the
width OF tho piers covers the whole
distance Of 1870 feet at low water.
Secretary Endicott takes the position pre-
sented by TIKI APPEAL few weeks since
that some concession should be made in
favor OF the railroads, even TO the extent
OF lessening the number Of barges in the
tows. II barge and coal companies can
accommodate themselves TO the spans OF
the bridges On the Ohio, no one Of
which exceeds 500 feet, there is no
reason why they should not accommodate
themselves to a bridge at Memphis. The
people Of this city, and OF the country
contributary to IT, will learn Of this decis-
ion by the Secretary with great pleasure.
II settles question OF vital importance
TO our trade and commerce and our
growth. II makes this the great
railroad center OF the Mississippi Val
ley and assures our future. The
isothermal line on which Memphis is stu
ated, running from New York 10 San

lantic or tho Pacific. Hence the import
ance OF the bridge which rival cities OPP
posed because II is likely to interfere with
the growth OF their trade. The decision Of

Washington Special TO Pittsburg Post.
The Secretary OF War still delays action
on the Memphis bridge. He has been Civ
ing the matter good deal OF attention for
a week past, and what is the cause Of the
delay cannot be definitely ascertained.
There is reason to believe, however that
he finds himself in rather an embarrassing
position in the matter. The bill, as IL be-
came law, authorized the appointment Of
commission to report on the length Of
the span, and SAYS that il the Secretary OF
War approves the report the bridge may
be built Of that length. II, however,
omlts to say what course shall be followed
II the secretary docs not approve the re-
port, making no provision by which he
may authorize IL TO be built at less length
OF span than that reported. Possibly he
might have power, under the bill, TO APP
prove the minority report for 700 feet IN
stead OF the majority report for 900 but
II is not improbable that he considers this
too short.
The company has shown clearly that IL
will DO impracticablo to build l,O0O.foot
span or the Cantilever principle, and that
II will cost 80 much 10 make suspension
bridge that they will not feel justified in
attempting 1t. II the Secretary decides
the 700 feet span proposed by the minority
report of the commission is too short, and
the 200 feet of majority is too long for
practical work, it would seem doubtful II
lac would have the power to fix the length
OF the span ct any other figure. Indeed,
II is not quite clear whether he has the
powerto iiNthe length at any figure except
thatnamed by the majority report. The war
department is absolutely silent as TO the
cause OF the delay. but II is believed by
those who have noticed the matter closely
that this may be at least one OF the causes
for this delay.
