FRENCH HARBoR IMPROVEMENTS.
Features of the System Which May Be
Recommended for Adoption Here.

Paris June e-Congressman Burton, chairman OF
the River and Harbor Committee Of the House Of
Representatives. had long conference to-day with
the Minister of Public Works, NJ. Maruejouls, COM
pairing the French and American systems Of ad-
ministering river and harbor work 1t seemed 10
Mr. Burton that there were several features in the
French system which practical for the United
States.
The last French estimates for river and harbor
work were $500 100000 which the Chamber OF Depu-
ties reduced to $50 100000 and the Senate reduced
to s5oON0OOO This amount was widely distributed
with the proviso that the localities benefited should
share part of the expense. For example, Dteppe Is
required to pay IS per of the extensive harbor
improvement and to the city is given the right TO
reimburse itself by receiving the port dues
Owing to the magnitude of the American river
and harbor estimates. sSOO.OOo000. Mr.. Burton says
the French system requiring localities to con-
tribute a share of the expense of improvements Is
worthy Of serious consideration 1t will probably
be a feature of the report to be made by Mr.
Burton to Congress and by Major Mahan. Of the
Engineer Corps retired) who accompanies Mr.
Another feature of the French system is that
work is only begun after the appropriation Of
money sufficient for its completion
The Minister of Public Works was greatly inter-
ested in the magnitude of the American harbor i'm

seaboard points. and complimented the Americans

WARSHIPS NOT TO GO TO CHILL.
Orders to South Atlantic Squadron Revoked
disturbances Quelled.

Washington, June 9.-The orders issued yesterday
for American ships to go to Valparaiso have been
revoked. owing to the receipt of cable message
from Minister Wilson. which indicates that their
presence is needed.
The explanation given at the State Department
the sudden change of plans regarding the
squadron is in substance that the department for
time had been receiving advices from various
sources indicating the existence of serious situa-
ton in Chillan seaport towns. owing to formid-
able strike of dock aborers and severe rioting and
destruction of property. The Navy Department
advised of this situation. and an intimation
given that the presence of an American war
snip at the of the trouble would be prudent.
When the department decided to send the South
Atlantic Squadron from Montevideo the emergency
had ceased to exist Minister Wilson by cable re-
ported that the Chilian Government had the Situa-
ton well nand. This received after the
orders had gone to the South Atlantic Squadron,
it was necessary to cancel them which Secretary
Moody did to-day. The revokng of Rear Admiral
Summers's orders to proceed at once to Valparaiso
does not indicate that the South Atlantic Squadron
will cruise in Southern Pacific waters this
Iner, but all visits Chilian waters will be of
friendly character.
