An employee Of Tefft. Weller & Co., who is a
dyed-in the-wool Democrat, has taken poll OF
the employees OF that house. He says that he
hasn't found a man who Is not going to vote 10.
Low When asked about his detection from
Tammany and the cause Of his voting for Low,
he explained: well, it Is this way. We had
hard road to travel there for a time. and with
the probability Of Bryans election business
went to pieces When Bryan defeated and
Mckinley elected. business took a squirt. Now
we are all happy and doing we'll. All those
Western silver advocates are looking to New
York to see either Van Wyck or George elected,
and In the victory Of either will see triumph
Of free silver. This will unsettle business and
we will all have hard times again. General
Tracy hasn't chance. The fight is with Low,
and the way to insure the defeat OF Tammany
and George is to vote for Low. and don't know
a man in the drygoods district that isn't going
to vote for him. Some waverinz, and some
have expressed other preferences but in the end
he will get solid vote from here"

ON THE BAGADUCE.
improvements Reported for and
Against by the Government Engineer.

improvements Reported for and
Against by the Government Engineer.
The secretary OF war has transmitted to
Congress the report OF Major Hoxie on
the survey OF Bagaduce river, leading up
to Penobscot village In Maine. The COM
merce OF this point is sufficient to load
210 vessels year, and that with better
facilities the granite and brick business
might be greatly benefited.
TIE adopted project for he improvement
OF Bagaduce river contempIstes the exca-
vation of channel 900 feet long, 100 feet
wide aud six feet deep at low tide from
Bridges Point to Bowden's wharf at
south Penobscot village in Northern bay.
This project WAS made about ten years
ago and the estimated cost WAS S45, 600,
and there have been five separate appro-
pristions aggregating 81, 600
The cost of completing work under the
present project for improving the low
water channel to South Penobscot, has
been increased by insufficient appropria-
lions aud the development of more
boulder excsvst ion than Was antici pated.
Ii is now estimated at $50 900 in round
numbers, of which over s3i 900 is for re-
moving 1899 tons OF boulders at p per
ton. a
TO make the channel from the deep
water in the Bagaduce river to Penobscot
village, it is estimated that there will be
a cost OF Si5, 700, the proportion OF boul-
ders being considered about the same as
Ia he channel to South Penobscot
An adverse report has been rendered on
the recommended ion OF Ma or r. l.. Hoxie,
to proposed additional improvements for
the Bagaduce river up to Penohscot
village. The estimated cost WAS S45 700
and Maj. Hoxie thinks the expenditure Is
not warranted in view of pending and ex-
