Jan. 18.?Persistent efforts up 'ii the part of llopresenta HfH I.e\er, Uegaro and Kllerbe, the latter a member of the house, com m It tee tin rivers and harbors, have l resulted In the Issuance of on order for a full and detailed survey of the waterways between Orangeburg and ('hiirl.'sb'ii. i llepi . -. nt i 11 \< I.? \? r was today no? tified by the war department that the chief of engineers has acted favorably on |lM > ? commendation already made by the board of engineers for a de? tailed survey of this waterway, which insures that the survey will be made. While the findings of the engineers who will make this survey can not I be foretold, the fact that the prelim? inary survey was sufficient to warrant the v?rderlng of a full survey may be considered as Indicating the probabil? ity that the long-hoped-for Improve? ment of this waterway will result. Mr. Lever today said: . "There seems to be some misappre? hension as to the exact status of the project to open up the waterways be? tween Orangeburg and Charleston to navigation. The authority for the preliminary survey which has already been made by Capt. Adams was put into the last river and harbor act, at my request, by Representative El lerbe. a member of the rivers and harbors committee. "The preliminary survey warranted Capt. Adams in asking for an allot? ment of a certain amount of money from a lump sum appropriation suf? ficient to conduct a detailed survey of the waterways in question. This rec? ommendation, as provided by law, went to the board of engineers and was unfavorably received. "A heating l>efore that body Of representatives from Orangeburg, llranchvllle and Waterboro, at which Representative Legare and I were present, was had on January 3, and a few days later the board, viewing the situation In a different light, con? cluded to act favorably upon the rec umio-datlons of Capt. Adams. The conclusions of the board, as Is always the case, were referred to the chief of engineers for final action. "Now that the chief of engineers likewise acts favorably upon the re? port, authority Is thereby given f ?r a full and detailed survey by Capt. Adams#What such a survey will sh>v\ of course, no one can tell. If it should be such as to favorably im? press Capt. Adams, he will make his findings known to the pfOpOf author? ity and base his recommendations for i.i appropriation at the hands of con? gress upon the duta thus collected. I "These recommendations it must bi understood, will require tin approval of the board of engineers and the i bief of enKlneers of the war depart? ment. In the event of such approval, action upon the part of congress then becomes necessary. Those il us h? re Interested In the proposition will use our best endeavors to get favorable ? onslderatlon for an appropriation suHW-lent t ? carry into execution *uch a project for Improvement a.j may !..? recommended by the war depart* maul "Of course, nothing can bt dorn- 01 this session of congress, f<?r the rea? son that it is not likely that the de? tailed sun ey upon which the project must be bas? d, will base been COUV pleted before the adjournment of this on.

Battle Has Been One of Fiercest in Political History of the State of Massachusetts. BootOOi M iss., Jan. 18.?Henry Ca? bot Lodge today won the hardest fight in his political career In nearly 30 years and returns to the United States senate for a fourth term with the sup? port of 146 out Of 279 members of the Massachusetts legislature or six more than the number necessary for a choice in the joint assembly. Two Democratic senators, Martin H. F. Curlcy and Michael J. Murray, left their party to vote for him. but their support was not necessary. Rep? resentative James Mclnerny. another I ?emoerat. was in the chamber but did not vote. He did not care to oppose Senator Lodge, because of personal friendship. Senator Lodge was elected yester day on the part Of the senate but the house failed to make a selection, so . an only ballot was as follows: Whole number of votes, 279; neces? sary for a choice, 14 0. Henry Cabot Lodge of Nathant (Rep.), 146; Sher? man L. Whipple of Brooklina (Dem.) 121; Butler Ames of Lowell (Rep.), 7; ? A. Lawrence Lowell of Cambridge (Ind. Rep.), 2; Curtis Guild, Jr., of j Boston (Rep.), 1; John R. Thayer of! Worchester (Dem.), 1; Sylvester A. McBride of Watertown (Socialist), 1. For nearly two years the senior sen? ator of Massachusetts has been as? sailed by Republican Insurgents and the Democratic party. He won out today despite the at? tacks made upon him by Gov. Eugene X. Foss, a former Republican con? gressman; Butler Ames of Lowell, himself a candidate for senator, and other "insurgent" Republicans, to- 1 gether with tho exertions of tin Democratic leaders. Gov. Foss refused to comment on the result, while Congressman Ames Bald that he was convinced that the desires of a large majority of the peo? ple of Massachusetts "have been sub? merged by the influence of financial interests." Mr. Ames also declared his intention of continuing the fight.

Washington, Jan. 17.?Represent? ative Lever today introduced a joint resolution, the purpose of which is to permit an inspection of the origi? nal returns of the census enumera? tors as such returns relate to the pop? ulation. "This resolution," said Lever "comes as the result of numerous complaints from towns and cities as to their population, as shown by the census report. This is particularly true of Bumter, Greenville, Orange? burg and other places in our State, and is notably true of Augusta, Ga. Of course, the census figures cannot be changed, but the principle which permits the director of the census to conceal from the public the enume? rator's return, a matter of such wide public interest, is wrong and calculat? ed to be wrongfully used. "These returns should be available for public Inspections and there is no r< ason which appeals to me for re? garding them as secret. The direct? or of the census goes to the extent of refusing to allow a member of Con? gress permission to see these returns, and only such a resolution as I am Introducing, and hope to pass, Will give the public the light to which it is entitled."

Of DrMtlo Action Oy Com? mission Corps of Bottled lip Wesf, Virginia Said to Hare Caused His Retirement, Washington, Jan. 10.?George Von L. Meyer, secretary of the navy, this afternoon telegraphed to the Pacific coast for a full report on the allega? tion that the retirement of Admiral Barry was caused by the demands for I his resignation by officers of the flag J ship West Virginia. The navy depart I merit declined to say to whom the telegram for a report had been sent!, but it is assumed that it was directed to Rear Admiral Thomas, the new commander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet. Not until the complaining officers of the West Virginia havo been heard from will the navy department be in a position to determine whether there shall be any proceedings in the case \jf Admiral Barry. If it should be de? cided in the affirmative, the mere tact that the accused officer has volun? tarily retired would not shield him from punishment In case of a court martial resulting in conviction. Under the regulations which specifi? cally define the punishment for each offense, a person convicted in such a case, if an officer, would be liable to the severe penalty of confinement not to exceed 15 years and expulsion from the naval service, cutting off all re? tired pay. t There is no record of the trial of naval officers under these conditions, though many bluejackets have suf ferred conviction. Admiral Barry's request for retire? ment was received by the navy de? partment by telegraph last Thursday The fact that it was received by wire, Instead of by mail, was by no mean* unpuecaderUed v?uid ?xfiiteii ne suspicion on the part of officials as to the probable causes for the re? quest. Secretary Meyer approved the ap? plication on the day following its re? ceipt. The president promptly ap? proved the request and the depart? ment telegraphed the fact to the ad? miral on Saturday, detaching him at ihe same time from the Pacific fleet and ordering him to his home in ac? cordance with the established custom. His retirement dates from January IS. By operation of law, Admiral Barry would have retired in October <>f the current year. His pay as a rear ad? miral was $8,000, while his retired compensation will be three-fourths of that amount, or $6.000. San Francisco, Jan. 10.?Roar Ad? miral Edward B. Harry today hauled down his pennant and relinquished command of the Pacific fleet to Rear Admiral Chauncey Thomas. The cere l mony was marked by all the for? malities prescribed by the regulations but the peculiar ami grave circum? stances to Which report ascribes Ad? miral Barry's sudden request tor re? tirement robbed the occasion of the spontaneous and personal feature's which custom always made a part of ?Uch incidents. While he was waiting in his cabin Admiral Barry received an Aesoclat? d Press representative, to whom he de? nied in general and emphatic terms the reports that had been made con? cerning the reasons for his unex? pected retirement from the navy.

Mills, a gardener at Port Sam Hous? ton alleges that he was damaged $10, ooo worth by Chaplain Dickaon, for? merly stationed at the post, turning :i hose mi him.
