THE PLANS APPROVED.
The Brooklyn Bridge Question Settled by TIL
Secretary of War.

The Brooklyn Bridge Question Settled by the
Secretary of War.
The Secretary Of War has settled the contro-
versy in regard to the construction Of two
bridges across the East river from New York
city to Brooklyn by approving the plans with
one change-that the bridge from Broadway
avenue to point between Delaney and Riving-
ton streets shall be 14O feet in the center above
mean high water.
The decision Of Secretary Elkns says: "Under
the authority vested in me by the act Of Sep
TENDER 10, 1890. making appropriations for
certain public works ON rivers and harbors, the
plans of the East River Bridge Company for
two bridges over the East river have been care
fully examined. together with the testimony of
interested parties and the views of engineers of
the army to whom the matter referred for
suggestions. The plans of the bridges pre-
sented are in accordance with the laws of the
state of New York. contained in chapter 10l-
102 of the laws of 1892, which laws the Attorney
General of the United States advises me are
good and sufficient for the purposes of bridging
this river entirely within the state of New York
The only differences of opinion appear to be with
reference to the height of the bridges at
their center elevations above mean high
water. In the case of the existing bridge
over the East river this height is 1876 feet
ana no vessel with taller spars can pass
through the East river. This height
tablished by United States authority After
careful consideration it is my judgment, and
it is 40 ordered, that the project Of the
bridges from Broadway avenue to a point be-
tween Delaney and Rivington streets should
be altered by raising the lower chord OF the
roadway to a clear Roadway at its center of
40 feet above mean high water under the
most unfavorabe conditions as to load and
temperature, and the drawings will be returned
to the East River Bridge Company to modify
them in accordance with this decision

THE LUDLOW INQUIRY.

The Court Has Finished Its Work and Will
Now Make Up Its Report.
The court OF inquiry in the case of Col. VIM.
Ludlow of the engineer corps of the army con-
cluded its sessions yesterday afternoon, and the
members have gone to their regular stations in
New York for the purpose Of preparing their
report to the Secretary of War.
Col. Ludlow was the engineer officer in charge
Of the eleventh light house district, with head
quarters at Detroit, Mich. He advocated GER
tain plans for the lighting of st. Mary's river,
contending that if these plans we're not carried
out vessels and property would be- placed in
jeopardy. The board refused to adopt the
suggestions Of Col Ludlow. The colonel in
sisted, and asked leave to come to Washington
to make personal explanation Of the feasibility
of his ideas on the subject. The board again
refused, and the controversy that followed re-
suited in the relief Of Col. Ludlow from duty
on the ground that he had disobeyed the plain in
structions OF his superior officers and was
insolent in his correspondence with the board.
The light house board has had nothing to do
with the present inquiry beyond giving such in
formation AS the court asked Of it. As men,
Der expressed it, the board is neither prosecut-
ing the case against Col. Ludlow nor IL it on
trial itself The court was appointed at the in
stigstion OF Col. Ludlow in the full hope that
it would exonerate HIM from all unoficerlike
conduct in the transaction, and the board has
made no effort whatever to prevent such re-
suit. Col. Ludlow's friends are confident of
his vindication by the court, conclusion alto
gether probable in view of the character of
the evidence submitted. An army officer saws
of the case that it was marked by little or no
prosecution and a strong and vigorous defense,
and consequently can have but one result

They Are Coming in for Redemption in
Greater Amounts Than Ever Before.
Mutilated notes are now coming to the U. s..
treasury for redemption in greater amounts
than ever before, being undoubtedly the after
effects of an active business during the holiday
season. The clerks in the treasurers office are
kept busy after Office hours every day until
dark handling this money. but cannot keep up
with the demands made upon them. Yesterday
between S2,000,000 and 100000 in dilapi-
dated and uncurrent funds were received from
various subtreasuries and national banks At
the close of business there were about IS, 600,
600 in dilapidated notes of small denomlna-
ton awaiting redemption with crisp new notes.
The clerks expect to catch up with the rush
in about two weeks The assistant treas
urer at New York reports that he never
knew of such an influx of uncurrent notes and
asks that clerical assistance be sent him from
Washington.

The Haytian Government Still Has 1t Under
Consideration.
The Secretary of State yesterday received
dispatches from United States Minister Durham
at Hayti in regard to the case Of Frederick
News of Boston, Mass, who was confined In
prison at Port au Prince for twenty days with
out hearing. The Secretary declines to dis
close the contents Of the dispatches further
than to say That the News case is still unsettled
Mr.. Durham was sent to Hayti recently on
the U. s. S. Atlanta to obtain from the Haytian
government the release of Mrs News and some
explanation for the failure to give him q
Judicial hearing as provided by law until nearly
three weeks had elapsed. The Haytian statutes
are supposed to insure a prisoner a hearing
within forty-eight hours after his arrest. but
their administration appeared to have been for
gotten or gu pended in this instance.
The Atlanta was utilized in conveying Min
lister Durham to Hayti in order that the dignity
of the United States might be maintained
during the tendency Of the News case. but
il is understood that the sight Of the guns of
the big cruiser has not brought the President
Of Hayti and his minister Of justice TO under
stand the seriousness with which the admins
tration looks upon the imprisonment Of one Of
its citizens contrary to law. II 10 probable that
the next mail from Hayti will bring to the
Secretary of State information more definite
than that received yesterday. The State De-
partment hasreceived no information In regard

THE REFORM SCHOOL,

The Attorney General Doesn't Think It's
Estimates should Go Through the Board
of Charities.
Attorney General Miller has forwarded to
the Senate District committee, as requested,
his opinion on the provision in the bill to es-
tAblIsh board of charities, which requires
them in their estimates to include the reform
school for boys. The communication reads
II have to say that the reform school for boys
Of the District Of Columbia is not charity,
but is penal institution, and see no reason
for requiring estimates for this institution to
be made by the board of charities which would
not be equally good with reference to the esti-
mates for the Jail.
my observation is that this institution is in
good hands and Is well managed by q board
serving without pay and from motives purely
disinterested. My view, therefore, is not
favorable to this proposed changa.''
