Deficiency Bill.
The figures showing the aggregate in
crease in the general deficiency appropria-
ton bill made by the Senate committee on
appropriations show that the total increase
over the House bill is $500. isl, making
the aggregate appropriation carried by the

Pension for Gen. Longstrect.
Senator Walsh has introduced bill pro-
viding for pension OF $50 a month for
Gen. James Longstreet, the confederate
commander on account Of the wounds re-
ceived in the Mexican war while he was
serving as major and paymaster in the
United States army. Gen. Longstreet re-
ceives a pension of SD a month under the
general pension act for the relief Of Next
can war veterans. He asks that this be
increased because of his advanced age,
wounds received and total disability.
Russian Thistle.
The n,illion-dollar appropriation for the
eradication Of the Russian thistle has been
finally blocked, SO far as this session is
concerned. Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Call
brought into the Senate the second confer
ence report en- the agricultural appropria-
ton bill, which recommended that the SEN
ate recede frcm The thistle amendment
Contrary TO expectations, Mr. Hlusbrough
did not make tight on the adoption of
this report, but allowed IL to be concurred
in by the Senate, without division. There
is still on the calendar of the Senate a bill
to the same effect, but ii Is doubtful
whether. in the present temper of the
House, which threatend a total blockade
OF the appropriation II this item were re-
tained. Mr.. Hansbrough will try again to
secure legislation. 1t is understood that he
will wait for possibly more favorable
complexion in the next Congress. The
measure is popular in the west, but is OPP
posed violently by the east and south. The
western mer say that if the government
waits long enough before graduating this
evil IT will cover enough space TO give a
two thirds majority In both branches of
Congress for any sum that may be asked.
At present il covers seven states along the
northern border Of the country.

The impression has gained currency that
there was some controversy as to the win
ner OF the 1OO-yard swimming contest at
the bathing beach on Tuesday evening.
This idea is, however, contrary to the facts.
The race was won by Howard Blandy, with
w. '. Reed second. The statement that
Mr.. Philip Tindall went outside Of the
course IN the race was not in the nature Of
q protest from him against the award, and
young Tlndall said nj regard to the affair
today: In my opinion the race was rer-
fectly fair in every particular, and those
who succeeded won on their merits. l have
herd no claims to the contrary"

you Will see an ocean tramp threading his
way along. Astern are a steam lighter and
tug with a car float I'm tow. while a cou-
pie more tugs are hunting around for Jobs
like beagles searching for trail. The giant
Campania is backing out of her berth, her
monster stacks witnessing the industry of
her stokers, who are now beginning to
shovel coal TO again lower the east-bound
record. A sound steamer is making her
pier further down. while one of the steam
boats bound for Coney Island is rushing
down stream and an excursion tow is head
ing slowly for Glen Island In between
them all, steadily and surely, a dozen ferry
boats are carrying their human freight to
do the daily work OF the great metropolis
All this is crowded into a square mile of
water, which itself is moving to or from the
sea at two and a half miles an hour
Now, think OF the problem set to the
ferryman. He must carry, in safety, across
this crowded harbor, with its rapid and
changing currents, a large portion Of the
business population OF one OF the worlds
great senters of business. 1t is estimated
that the yearly passenger trips between
New Jersey and New York number TO-
100000; that the total for all New York
ferries Will. exceed 100000; that the
number OF boat trips equals 10000

carried on with remarkable safety
