RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
Chief Of Engineers Sends State
ment to California Delegation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-General
Wilson, Chief of Engineers, to-day sent
to Senator Perkins and Representatives
Hilborn and DeVries the statement of
the condition of affairs as regards the
Improvements of the Feather and Sac
ramento Rivers. He says the Commits
sioner of Public Works of California
has submitted to the department plan
for the expenditure of sum appropri-
ated by the State for the Improvement
of the Sacramento and San Joaquin
Rivers, on which the department will
submit a report soon.
After recfting the fact that the State
of California appropriated $3.50, 900 for
the erection of impounding dams on
the Sacramento and Feather Rivers,
and referring to the fact that although
legislation has been enacted allowing
the National Government to receive this
sum, it has not been turned into the
National Treasury. General Wilson says
this work is in the hands of the Califor-
MIA Debris Commission. The great
amount of work to be done by that
Commission, he says, renders it impos-
sible that report viii be submitted at
an early date, but he will impress upon
them the Importance of rushing their
work. although it is of such character
that it cannot be expedited by increas-
ing the force of men now engaged upon
it. This matter of erecting restraining
barriers is. he says, the most important
feature of the scheme for improving the
rivers, as only by such plans will it be
carried forward. General Wilson SAYS
the Engineer Department will do every
thing in its power to forward the river
Improvement work

NO POWDER RESERVE.
Statement of the Chief of the
Ordnance Rureau.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The ses-
sion Of the House Committee on Naval
Affairs to-day was given over to a
statement by the Chief of the Ordinance
Bureau, Commander Charles O'Neil.
The chief feature of the statement was
IN reference to the small amount of
powder now held in reserve for the
navy. In his statement Commander
O'Neil showed that ships now have a
full supply of ammunition, which
means 1,630OS0 pounds. This is classed
as to guns in batteries on the ships
thus:
Twelve 13-inch guns, so rounds per
gun, 313 pounds each charge; twelve
l2-inch guns, 60 rounds per gun, 255
pounds each charge; twenty-five 10
inch guns, 20 rounds per gun. 139
pounds each charge; sixty-eight S-ineh
guns, 80 rounds per gun, - pounds
each charge; eighty-two 6-inch guns.
10 rounds per gun, 81 pounds each
charge; sixty-two 5-inch guns, 200
rounds per gun. 10 pounds each charge;
pounds each charge.
But when it comes to renewing the
supply of ships now in commission the
AiAuSdudCy Vi the supply is SHOWN When
1t is known that only 100000 pounds is
held in reserve, which will afford only
1871 rounds for each Of the 13-inch
guns, IA rounds for each of the Pinch
guns, 4.6 rounds for the 10-inch, 1913
rounds for the S-inch. 27.5 rounds for
the 6-inch. 1916 rounds for the 6-inch
and 43 rounds for the 4-inch guns.
This is for vessels afloat, but there
are five battle-ships building and 800
six-inch guns for auxiliary cruisers are
needed, for which no provision is made
Whatever. A fully supply of powder for
all ships and those building would cost
S2,026.oT, but the Ordnance Depart
ment asks for this purpose only 81, 900. :
600. Commander O'Neil sad that the
reserve of powder would operate guns
of the American navy less than one
hour, all of which was extremely graf
flying to Hilborn, who was so severely
criticised when he made just that
statement in his recent lecture at Chi
cagO.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.--Hon. w ]. Bryan.
in concluding a speech before the Bryan
League at the fremont House during q
banquet held after the Auditorium
meeting early this morning, made some
remarks which are interpreted as show
ing his intentions if he is nominated for
the Presidency in 1900. In speaking
of the next Presidential election, Mr..
Bryan said:
1T may be we will be strong enough
to win without any outside help. But,
nevertheless, 1 prefer to win with the
Populists on the one side and the free
silver Republicans on the other. And,
we must not forget when the victory
is won, that in the campaign of last
year ii took more courage on the part
of the free silver Republicans to desert
their old party and more self-sacrifice
on the part of the Populists to go out
side of their organization for a Presi-
Dental candidate, because he agreed
with them on the paramount issue,
than ii did for the Democrats to sup
port the ticket which was nominated
by their own national convention"
