ment OF this river was adopted In 1880,
and consisted of dredging a channel TWEEN
ty-two feet deep by 800 feet wide over the
bars at Potopotank and West Point, with
increased depth at the wfarves at West
Point The project was modified by Con-
gress in 1854, on account of increased
trade, so as to obtain a channel 400 feet
wide, at n cost of s256oo0. The project
was again amended In 1887, so as to in
clude the construction of a dixie along the
right bank of the river at West Point
bar. in order to prevent the deposit OF
silt in the dredge channel. The estimated
cost Of the dixie was s52soo. making the
total amount of the revised project $685.
soo A very small amount of this is left.
A channel los wide and twenty-five feet
deep has been dredged through Potopotank
bar, and channel 1so to 257 feet wide
and twenty-five feet deep through West
Point bar. The last-named channel shoal-
ed rapidly from the depositing of silt. and
il was then impracticable to maintain the
dimensions of the channel by dredging
alone. The dixie was therefore built. TO-
143 linear feet of dixie in all have been
built.
FOR MATTAPONI RIVER.
In 1880 the original project for the i'm
provement Of this river was adopted, ana
proposed the removal of logs, snags. lean
ing trees, wrecks. and other like obstruc-
tons. below Mundy bridge. and the I'M
proving Of the bars below Aylett. so as
to get depth of six feet at low tide, and
a channel width of forty feet. The pro-
iect was amended July, 1892, and provid-
ed for the removing Of snaGs. logs.
wrecks. leaning trees. etc. as far as
Guinea's bridge, near Milford station. on
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac river. Estimated cost, s72,10o. The
Instructions have been removed below
Aylett. and to some extent above Aylett-
A snag boat was built in 1891, and has
done much good work. A survey of fif-
ty-one miles was made In 1895. showing

He FEARED DEFEAT.
1t Appears There Was Serious Doubt
of Hendersonys Recollection.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE with
drawal of Speaker Henderson is the SEN
satlon of the hour in political circles all
over the country. The Republicans are
buslly explaining with theories, while the
Democrats are in the most jubilant mood
known in years
he Iowa politicians here all have
different version Of the reason for the
withdrawal, but none of them hint at the
loea that Mr. Henderson was at all afraid
OF defeat by Former Governor Boies
Washington men who know Speaker
henderson do not give him the slightest
credit for patriotism or sincerity in his
alleged reasons for retiring. He has
never been so scrupulously exact in his
political affairs as to shy at being at
odds With his party, and he is not big
enough, it is universally admitted, to
pose as man holding such high ideals
as 10 prefer leaving congress to misrep-
resentlng the views of his people
me whole sum and substance, it is
1uhllantly claimed by Democrats, is that
A1r.= Henderson plainly saw defeat star
ing him in the face, and has run away
from that prospect, Just like would be
expected OF him by those who know the
man.
TARIFF BONE OF CONTENTION.
informed circles here that the Republic
cans are in turmoi. in the West over their
tariff differences, and it is now believed
that the going there Of President Roose-
Welt will not help him or his party He
stands to ruin a political career that now
gives promise of being bright. and pre-
dictions are freely made that in his COM
ing journey he is treading on the most
dangerous ground politically he ever
placed foot on.
All the people are trying to minimize
the revolution that is in progress in state
for tariff revision, and which permeates
nearly every other Western State, and
a most gloomy outlook is presented to
the Republicans as consequence of
the real facts.
Democratic managers claim that al
though without money and speakers they
are going to produce many sensations in
the West in November by the capture
of Republican districts.
Republican voters have no faith. it is
represented. in party promises to make
tariff changes.

SECRETARY SHAW EXPLAINS.
Says "Either Newspapers Misunder.
stood Gen. Henderson's
Position or Do.,,

t WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-In comment
ing further to-day upon the action of
Speaker Henderson in declining a re-
nomination to congress, Secretary Shaw
said:
Either many newspapers nisunder-
stand General Hendersons position or I
do understand him to stand pat on the
tariff plank Of the Iowa platform. which
fayors such revisions as changed con-
ditions make advisable. In his address
to the Republican voters of the Third
Iowa district he says: while I have
been against a general revision I have
never been opposed to making needed
changes, and am not now
"Nor do I understand him to object to
the antitrust plank which is in differ
ent section Of the State platform. and
which only declares against allowing the
tariff to become a shelter for trusts. It
goes no further than intimating that such
thing may occur. It does not say such
thing exist.
Commenting on this plank in his adj
dress. the general says: 1t is a bold
declaration that if notifications of the
tariff are required to prevent monopoly
from sheltering itself under the wings
of protection then tariff shall be modified
to prevent that condition"
.As I understand him. he finds himself
unable to agree with the Interpretation
placed upon this plank by many of his
constituents and firm party friends. To
what, If any, extent the Republicans OF
Iowa are advocating removal of the
tariff on trust-made or controlled goods
as a remedial measure, I am unable to
speak.
Il think General Hendersons friends
ought to see to it that his position be cor
rectly interpreted to the people and that
he be not placed in the false light of
having declined to be candidate for
Congress because opposed, to use the Lam
guage of the Iowa platform to such
changes in the tariff from time to time
as become advisable through the pro-
gress of our industries, and their changing
relations to the commerce of the world y
