Just_at present the War Department is waiting a report from Captain Marshall giving a detailed project of the mostdesirable work to be'done under the amount that has been made available. | This is expected daily at the War Department and will doubtless be approved without delay, as it is the desire of the department to have this work well under way. by the time the next river and harbor bill is prepared, when a larger amount will be asked for. :

After it has been decided how the present funds shall be spent the next step taken will be to acquire the legal titles to such lands as may be necessary. This will be accomplished through @ Captain Marshall and the United States District Attorney: for Northern Illinois, and = finally through the Department of Justice here. The bulk, if not all, of the work is to be done by contract. It is expected that all the preliminaries in the way of acquiring titles, advertising and making contracts will be arranged in time to begin the actual work of construction during the present year.

' FRANCE’'S CROWNLESS KING. Comte de Paris and a Party of Distintinguished Royalists Arrive in New York—A Warm Greeting from Old Coms= rades of the Army of the Potomac—His Eventful Career. & New York, Oct. 4.—After an absence of twenty-eight years the Comte ST de Paris returned to 77 o America Friday on Bk b ~ the steamer GerA mahnic, of the White F;W " Star line. He was X~ An accompanied by his Gy, son, the Duc.d’Or\%/’//R\ . leans, and by the 72 =4 \ Duec d’Uzes, the 2 /,- Marquis de Lase : tevrie, the Comte g E DRI aRIN d'Haussonville, Colonel de Parseval, Captain Morhain and Dr. Recamier.. The Germanic was sighted off the bar at 10:15 Friday morning, ‘ : - . At the barge office at that time the revenue cutter Chandler lay under orders to take Collector Erhardt and his party to meet the steamer. At 11:30 o’clock the Chandler started down the ‘bay. She had on board in addition to the Collector General E. D. Keys, General Fitz John Porter, General W. B. Franklin, General W. H. Slocum, General Jd. G Parke, General 0. 0. Howard, General Daniel Sickles, General Daniel Butterfield, General John Newcomb, Gener?.l H.. A, Barnum and General James R. O'Beirne. Lieutenant-Colonel John P. Nicholson, representing the Loyal Legion of Philadelphia, was also a passenger in the cutter. The Germanic was boarded off Staten Island, and the Comte, surrounded by his party, was awaiting the old soldiers on the quarter-deck. Collector Erhardt was presented to the Comte and said: ‘I am instructed by the:President and* Government to welcome you to these shores and to'extend you every courtesy.” ' ‘“The Comte replied: ‘I thank you very much for the honor and I am glad to take another visit to America. I appreciate the great honor conferred on me by the President.” ‘The Count declined to talk politics, but to a reporter he said that he had come to America simply for pleasure and to revisit scenes with which he was familiar. He said that he would return on the Servia in November. Lieuten-ant-Colonel John P: Nicholson, who represented the Loyal Legion of Philadelphia, now presented the Count with a button of the order, which the Count immediately placed in the lapel of his coat. After going ashore the party was driven to the Windsor Hotel, where they will remain nntil Sunday evening, when they will go to Philadelphia. Saturday evening they will be guests ‘of the Union Club of this city. In Philadelphia, where they will remain two or three days, they will be the guests of the Philadelphia Commandery of the Loyal Legion. From Philadelphia the party will go to Baltimore, then to the battle-field of Gettysburg, then to Washington and Richmond. From Richmond they will return to Washington by water, traveling along the James and Potomac rivers.. From Washington the entire party will return to this eity, where the few days remaining of their stay here will be spent in sight-seeing.- On November 1 they will return to England by the steamship Servia.

[American interest in the Comte de Paris is based niainly upon the fact that hie and his brother, the Duc de Charters, participated in the war for the Union as officers on the staff of General George B. McClellan. The Comte de Paris was then but twenty-one years of, age, and he was anxious to show the French people that the young man who aspired to be their King was made of sterner stuff than the later Bourbon Kings - had shown themselves to possess. He® arrived in New York accompanied by his brother and his uncle, the Prince de Joinville, in the fall of 1861, and. proceeded to Washington, where arrangements were at once made for their entry into the army under certain clearly-defined conditions. They were commissioned as Captains of volunteers and assigned to duty on the staff of General McClellan, with the understanding that they were to receivg no pay and were to be free to resign whenever they chose. They took part in all the battles " fought by the “Army of the Potomac up to June, 1862, when they resigned and returned to Europe. General McClellan and other officers who had an opportunity of observing their conduect in the field during their short stay with the army have spoken highly of their soldiery qualities. Outside of his American experiences, the life of the heir of the Bourbons has been rather interesting. Born in 1838, he was just 10 years of age when bis grandfather, Louis Phillippe was driven from the throne of France by the revolution .of 1848. His father, who was the most popular of the more recent Bourbon Princes, had been killed by a hunting aceident some years before,' and many French--men think that had he lived his conciliatory disposition and his great influence over Louis Philippe would have prevented ‘the unpopular measures which caused the revolution. Brought up in exile the Comte de Paris was educated partly in Wurtemburg, of which his mother was a Princess, and partly in England, where he has spent most of his life since he left Paris. In 1871 he returned to France and was elected to the National Assembly, and the following year the Chambers voted the restitution of the family property. His famous journey to Frohsdorf, in Austria, where the Comte de Chambord, the head of the legitimist branch of the Bourbons, resided, had the effect of uniting the two royalist factions and securing the acknowledgement of his own right to the succession. Since then he has been the recognized head of the royalist party in France. In 1886 he and all other pretenders to the throne of France and all descendants of former reigning families were expelled from France by the enactment of a special law and prohibitgd from setting foot on French territory. That law has since been abrogated in the case of the Comte's uncle, the Duc d’Aumale, in consideration of former good service in the army and his splendid contributions to the cause of science. The well-established connection of the Prince and his followers in France with the Boulangist plots has destroyed all hope of its revocation In regard to any other member of the O leans family in the life time of this geheration.] Illinois’ New Committeeman.

New YORK, Oct. 6.—For the first time in the history of the New York custom. house that institution was kept open for business until midnight Saturday. 1t is also probable that Saturday was’ the most remarkable day in the history of the custom house. 1t was the last business day of the ‘‘old tariff,” the new tariff going into effect to-day, and though the rush of business had been great throughout the week, increasing steadily as Saturday drew near, nobody had any idea of the rush of merchants, brokers and clerks which was preparing for the last hours of the old law.. As the afternoon approached the rotunda and corridors of the custom house become crowded with persons in various stages of excitement,, nine out of ten of them holding packages of invoices or. other customs papers in 'their hands. When 2 o’clock drew near the crush was increasing to an alarming extent, and it became evident that many merchants were likely to suffer disappointment at the last moment in their efforts .« .get goods through the custom house. The result was that Collector - Erhardt, who has been working night and day, to use a set phrase, since the recent pressure of business began, was besieged with callers who begged- him to keep the custom-house open until 5:30 p- m., at least, in order that they might ' get all the. benefit . possible from the old tariff. The collector telegraphed to Secretary Windom for instructions. ‘ : :

While the answer to the telegram was anxiously waited the crowd grew larger every minute, and those who wished to: see the collector had to make their way to his presence througn a dense mass of perspiring brokers, who filled the ante-room and overflowed into the corridor. One young broker who had been waiting since 10 o’clock injthe morning said that the failure of the City of Chicago to enter in time to bring hek carge in under the old law would cost the firm he represented between $30,000 and $40,000 in extra duties. ; : Many of them present were interested in business connected with the City ‘of Chizago from Liverpool, sighted and supposed to be putting on every pound of steam she could carry in her efforts to ‘‘beat the .tariff,” others had their hopes centered on the NetherlandsAmerican liner Zaandam from Roterdam. This vessel was also - ‘reported,” according to the custom house oracles, and it was hoped that she would reach port in time to save thousands of dollars for the consignees of her cargo. The Etruria, of the Cunard line, from Liverpool, was also due, as were the Furnessia of the Anchor line, from Glasgow, the St. Regulus from Antwerp; the Thingvalla from Christiana, the Rugia and Australia from Hamburg,. and the Peconic from Gibraltar. In addition to these transatlantic steamships there were a number of coastwise steamers expected. ' S o According to the stories circulated about the custom-house the fastest tugs procurable had been chartered by the agents of the lines interested in the arrival of ‘‘tariff steamers,” and they were waiting down the bay, under full steam, ready to take off the captain or some other officer of the expected: steamships and bring him to the city in time to enable him to ‘‘pass in his papers” and save the cargo from the new law. : L

At 3:30 a dispatch came from Secretary Windom telling him to use his diseretion, and the latter said he would extend the hour of closing to midnight. Business was promptly resumed on all sides with feverish activity. =~ .- The entries made Saturday were over 800 up to 3p. m.; the ordinary number per day is- 400, but even this increase =of 100 per (cent. in the entries does not give an adequate idea of the actual increase, for the entries as a rule were for very much larger amounts than usual. In addition the receipts for Saturday, up to 38 p. m., were $1,154,584.46, and for the past week $6,045,000. T average receipts per day at the cusi®m house are about $500,000, or say $8,000,000 per week. o .

The only ships to arrive were the City of Chicago, St. Regulus and Etruria. Captain Haines of the Etruria tottered into the custom house with _his papers only one minute before 12 o’clock. -It was calculated that the failure of the: other steamers mentioned to get here on time will cost the importers an extra. million dollars. . : |
