in charge OF the erection OF Notifications In New York

acres OF ground at Baysde on the shores Of Rartan
Bay This land Is TO be used for fortihcatiOns the
nature OF which Is still being kept secret. The site
is near Kingsbury, east Of Keyport, the south
shore OF the bay, and IL completes the purchase
OF all land needed at present for fertilization pur-
poses around New-York harbor. The negotiations for
the ownership by the United states Government, Of
Plumb Island, behind sbespshead Bay, and the land
east OF Fort Hamilton, were completed some time
ago, but the necessary Jurisdiction could not be
secured by the Federal Government from the last
state Legislature. The incident illustrates the
strange apathy Of NEWCOMERS, even when vital
interests are concerned.
During the Gillian scare there loud and
unanimous demand that the United States Government
should push and improve the work OF erecting sufii
Gent Notifications around the city. The army officers
In this city who entrusted with the work COM
pletcd their arrangements FAST as possible. Even
while the negotiations were pending bill drawn
up giving fun measurements and details regarding
the two sites for Notifications at Plumb Island and
Fort Hamilton, and US soon as the purchases were
made the bill sent to Albany 1t had been drawn
up carefully and all demands OF the law had been
complied with The object Of the bill the purely
formal one Of getting the State authorities scdc the
right OF jurisdiction TO the United States authorities.
But the last Legislature busy with political bills
and Jobs. and the bill In question suffered the fate
of many others which intended only for the pub
Tic good and did not show any signs OF profit for
Tammany. The United States Government Is all
prepared to begin work. but must await for the action
OF the next Legislature.

tered the National Line steamer France recently, to
take live stock abroad for them, each taking one

the sOppage Of freight trains made II extremely diff
cult to get cattle through TO the seaboard. owt,ver,
Mr.. Goldsmith got his cattle through and they were
safely slowed away between decks on the France.
Mr.. shanberg less fortunate. He managed 10 get
$50 head through the New York Central, but
when they reached the Sixtieth-st yards 1t was dis
covered that they had been subjected to Texas fever
contagon and the Government inspectors promptly Or
dercd them int, quarantine. Owing 10 the strike, II
was impossible to get other cattle TO take their places
so the steamer was delayed. Finally the desired
cargo was secured, and the France sailed.
The National Line, us Is customary on coca
Of this kind, presented demurrage bill for $3.50
for the delay In the sailing Of their vessel. This
WIS bencvocntly paid by Mr. Goldsmith, who In turn,
asked Mr.. Shamberg to refund him the money rs the
delay not caused by any fault Of his Gold

Wnrc words oven the matter led TO blows, and IL is
