A Close Estimate.

Speaking about close estimates, Cen
eral John M. Wilson, chief of en-
gineers, made one some time ago. Con-
gress called upon him to make an es-
innate of the cost of an addition to
the government printing office AS it
was near the close Of the session and
congress was hurriedly getting through
its work. little time was given General
Wilson to consider the matter, but he
submitted his estimate, and the appro-
priation was made accordingly. He
estimated that the proposed building.
according to the plans and specifica-
tions which had been drawn, would
cost S121 ,121.90. The building was
completed. and there was S916 surplus
covered back into the treasury. Gen
eral Wilson was put in charge of this
work, and he took great deal of in
terest in 1t. He always gave credit,
however, to Lieutenant Sewell of the
engineer corps. who had the imme-
date supervision of the work, for the
care with which the building was
erected and the fact that the cost did
not overrun the estimate and appro-
priation. Washington Cor Portland

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.--~ghe answer
of the British government to Mr..
Choate's representations respecting the
seizures of American flour and other
goods on the vessels Beatrice, Mashona
and Maria was received here. The
British government adopts precisely the
point of view regarding the seizsd
goods that was assumed by the state de
partInent and embodied by Mr.. Choate
III his note on the subject addressed &c
the British foreign office.
The following official statement was
given out by the state department.: i
telegram has been received from Am.
bassador Choate reporting an interview
had by him with the Marquis Salisbury
ON the Afternoon of the 10th inst, III re.
gard to the American shipments of
flour and provisions on the detained
British steamers Beatrice and Mashona
and the Dutch steamer Maria. The
British position as to foodstutfs and
hostile destination is that they can only
be considered contraband of war if SUP.
Piled for the enemy's forces, it not be.
ing sufficient that they are capable OF
being SO used, but it must be shown that
this was their destination at the time
of seizure. This qualification virtually
comedies the American contention that
the goods We're not subject to seizure
and practically disavows the seizure: il
not being claimed that there is any evi.
dence of hostile destination.
