Washington, Dec. 26.— Senators Ful ton and Gearin today called on General MacKenxie, chief of engineers, in re gard to the needs of the Columbia river jetty. General MacKenxie gave them renewed assurance of his friendliness and said he was doing everything in his power to secure money to keep work in progress. He has recommended not only an appropriation of $400,000 in cash, but ha* urged that authority be granted for the expenditure of an additional $ 1 ,- 000,000. He explains that $400,000 is required for “ rocking” the jetty as far out as the end of the present tram way, but w ill not be ample for any ex tension. I f authority can be secured for the expenditure of $1,000,000 addi tional, it w ill be possible next season to push the jetty much farther sea ward, and in fact approach the point where it is expected to end. Major Roessler, in his report, re commended an appropriation of $1,- 900,000 to complete the jetty. This is a higher figure than the previous esti mate, but his estimate is reduced ma terially by the War department. The Oregon senatcfi-s w ill exert their bett efforts to secure the appropriation recommended by General MacKenxie, and will furthermore insist upon the authorisation of additional work to the extent of $1,000,000. The other Northwestern senators and representa tives w ill work in accord with them. IN V E S T IG A T E S IN S E C T PE STS. Government Solves Problem* o f C ot ton and Wheatgrowers.

New York Traction Mergee New York, Dec. 26. — A consolida tion of the subway, elevated and sur face traction line9 of Manhattan island is believed to be probable, as a result of the sale of the interests of Thomas F.

The Metropolitan system includes practically all of the surface roads on the island, and Mr. Belmont is presi dent of the Interborough Rapid Transit company, which operates the elevated roads and subway.
