COMPLETION OF BRIDGE.
Gen. Mackenzie Reports to the Sec
rotary Of War.

Gen. Mackenzie, chief of engineers has
reported to the Secretary of War, in re-
Spouse to an inquiry the subject, that
the passage of the Dalze.l bill for extending
the time for the completion of the Potomac
Highway bridge and its approaches until
June 80 next will be to the advantage of
the government. He bases his judgment on
a report made by Capt. Cosby, the engineer
officer in charge of the Potomac river i'm
provements.
"All the work to be done by the govern
ment." Capt. Cosby says. .in connection
with the construction of the Potomac High
way bridge and approaches will be COM
pleted by the 18th instant. except the con-
crete steel bridge across the Washington
channel. the paving on the portions OF the
approach adjacent to it and few other
items of work which have been delayed by
its non-completion Many unforeseen and
great difficulties have arisen during the
construction of this concrete bridge. which
is on the portion of the Washington ap-
proach most remote from the main High
way bridge, due largely to the failure on
the part OF the contractors to push the work
theoretically during the early part OF the
present working season. The difficulties
were not discovered by the contractors in
time to overcome them within the time
limit set by the contract-October 30. 1906.
1.-The chief of engineers granted an ex-
tension of time for a reasonable period for
the completion of the contract. The gov
eminent used every means In its power to
hasten the contractors work. and will de-
duct from their contract price all expenses
for inspection and superintendent and for
damages which may be caused by their fall
ure to complete the work as required. II
is impossible for them to complete 1t by
December 10 1906 although they are now
making every effort to hasten 1t. 1t is be-
lieved that II will be to the advantage of
the government to pass the resolution ex-
tending the time for completing the bridge
and approaches until June 30 next"
Under existing law the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company is required to begin the
work of removing the old Long bridge by
the 18th instant. but in view of the pending
legislation to extend the time for the COM
pletion of the substitute Highway bridge
until June 80 next 1t n hardly likely that
the railway company will take any steps
N the matter ~ this time.

IMPORTATION OF ALIENS.
Complaint That Laborers Are Being
Brought From Mexico.

Protests have been received by the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor concern
ing the importation of alien contract labor
ers into Texas from Mexico. The trouble Is
over the telesraphers' strike that has been
on in Texas for three weeks.
Frank Morrison. the secretary Of the
American Federation Of Labor, has written
to Secretary Metcalf on the matter. He
said that in his opinion the men were being
brought into the United States in plain vio-
lation of the law. Commissioner Sargent Of
the bureau of immigration is now absent
from the country. but the matter was
turned over to F. H. Larned. the acting
chief of the immigration bureau. He imme-
diately wired to the inspectors in Texas to
look into the matter. The local labor men
there will cooperate with them. and a re-
port ought to be received in a few days.
One OF the next matters of large interest
that will develop In the immigration bureau
is an opinion that win be handed down in
the course Of a week by Solicitor Earl. on
the right of a state to import alien contract
labor. This will cover such a case as that
which turned up recently in South Carolina,
where a number Of operatives were induced
to come from England to the cotton mills
there.

INHERITANCE TAX LAW.
At Least a Dozen States Get Revenue
in This Way.

Investigation by the bureau of .ie CEN
sus shows that, in 1902, about one-half of
the states of the Union bad inheritance
tax laws, which yielded to them aggre-
gate of little more than $1,000 00O This
amount is believed by the census officials
to have increased in the present year to
fully slO,0o000o or So 100000. In a report
based on the forthcoming report on
Wealth, Debt and Taxation the census
officials say that ''at least a dozen states
are materially assisting in the support of
the state governments from this source of
revenue"
AS shown by the census bulletin, the
amount of inheritance tax collected in
1902 by the states which had laws taxing
inheritances was as follows:

disclaimed any controversy whatever with
the Department of the Interior in the mat
ter of the care of the Ute Indians recently
overhauled by United States troops In

although number of statements have been
published to that effect. It Is explained
that these Indians are technically prisoners
of war and that the War Department has
taken steps to provide for their care and
maintenance. The expenditures on account
Of the Indians are made a charge against
the Interior Department The question as
to whether these Indians shall be sent back

CARPETS EXPLANATION.
Published Letters Related to Immi-
grafton, Not Congo Affairs.

Mr.. Thomas G.. Garrett, formerly clerk Of
the Senate committee on public heath and
national quarantine, who has been the sub
ject Of charges published in the New York
American concerning the lobby 1t is alleged
King Leopold has maintained in this city to
prevent interference In the affairs of the
Congo. says in his statement concerning the
matter:
Those letters had absolutely no connec-
ton with the so-called Belgian lobby. They
have been used to answer the purposes Of a
base and willful misconstruction. They re-
late entirely to my efforts to turn immigra-
ton toward the south, and cannot be hon.
estly construed as involving me to any ex-
tent whatever in the charges alleged. The
letter which Is published today as a fac
simiie had no reference, even the remotest,
to the Congo Free State or to any other
public matter"
Mr.. Garrett stated that last July he be-
came interested in scheme to divert Euro
pean immigration to the south, and particu-
larly to Alabama, his native state. The let
tiers to him from Kowalsky referred entirely
to that matter. MY new venture referred
to in the letter was the immigration ven
ture" said he. Il was informed that Col.
Kowalsky was perfectly willing to finance
the scheme. It was estimated that to prop
erly initiate the movement would require
capital of $1,OO0. This is the expenditure
referred to in the letter."

ACTION NOT UNLIKELY.
British Ambassador Discusses the
Congo at State Department.

Sir Henry Mortimer Durand. the British
ambassador. yesterday called at the State
Department and in the course of long
visit took up the question of the alleged
atrocities in the Congo country, and par
ttcularly the Lodge resolution recently in
troduced in the Senate paedging the sup
port of that body in any steps the Presi-
dent may take toward ameliorating the con-
dition of those people.
Ambassador Durand, in speaking of the
matter, said that the agitation in England
was about similar to that in this country.
and it was not improbable that England
has about reached the point where some
action would be taken. Although neither
the ambassador nor any of the State De-
partment officials would admit that the
visit of the ambassador. resulted in any ar
rangement for concerted action In the case.
1t nevertheless was stated by person In
a position to know that the Lodge resolu-
ton would pave the way toward giving
an impetus to any steps to that end
