Str: I have the honor to return herewith the ae resolution of the hvuse of representatives of the #i United States, dated February 20, 1888, request- : ing the secretary of war ‘‘to transmit to this house, for the use of the committee on rivers and harbors, all papers, maps, tracings, «and recommendati: ns now on file in the war depart- ment in relation to the breakwater at( leveland, Ohio; especially all such papers, maps, tiac- ings, and recommendations as relate tv the ex- tension of such breakwater easterly, substan- ; tially on the pre-ent line without material de- aes flection toward the shore, for the whole length F now authorized and an additional length of not less than 2,000 feet,’’ and in reply thereto tosub- mit tae inclosed coy of the report of Maj. L. C. Overman, Corps of engineers, dated February 21, instant, together with papers and maps on file in this office in relation to the pro; osed exten- 4 sion of the east breakwater ut Cleveland, Ohio, , for an additional length of 2,000 feet, which, it 7 is believed, will furnish all required information upon the subject. It will be seen that Major Overn an gives suc- | cinctly aud elearly a description of the prop: sed eatension of the east breakwater at Cleveland, Ohio, together with an estimate of its cost, stated as $300,000. Should the p:oposed modification be adopted the area of ‘anchorage spave beyond the 16 foot curve will be increased from about 75 to 200 acres, and the shore arm is located for its entire lenyth in water average 26 feetin depth, or over; and the confor: ation of the shore jine is such that this shore-urm can be further extended 2,- 200 feet when required, and still Jeave the in- shore extremity in 24 feet depth of water, with Ao opening nearly 1,300 feet between it and the eurve of 16 feet depth.’’ The original estimate for the harbor of refuge at « leveland was $1,800,000 _ The west breakwater completed in 1883, ____inclnding repairs eost xbout.._. --- __ To which add the estimated cost for the _ parapet for same..... jeaeRaee winnin $813 000 Bras: iz $873,000 ‘The east breakwater as at present pro- ' jected is estimated to cost.......... 440,000 PN Making a total of..... pik aes 1,313,000 _ Amount appropriated to date....2..... 993,750 Estimated amount required te complete on ‘present’ plam is, 202.22. 222. 2 2L.

C., February 21, 1888, GENERAL: Lo rep.y io your ietter uf Febru- ary 20, 1888, relati.g to the proposed ‘exten- sion of the Gleveland bresk water,” I lave to respectfully submit the following: The present project for the cowpletion of the harbor of refuve at Cleve and, Ohio, adopted in 1884, provides for ao east breakwater, which be- gins ata point on the prolupgation of the Jake arm of the west breakwater, aud 500 fee! from it; extends casiwerd on the line about 1,100 feet, then inclines towards the shore ina depth of 619,250 | supplies for credit. Ithe Marine Record. BREAKWATER EXTEN-| yond the 16 foot curve 1s increased from about 75 acres to 200 acres, and the shore-arm is lo- cated for its entire length in water averaging 26 feet in depth or over; and the confor ation The secreta'y of war has the honor to trans-| of the shore line 1s such that this shore-arm can mit to the house of representatives a letter dated | he further extended 2,200 feet when required, and still leave the inshore extremity in 24 feet depth of water, with an opening nearly 1,300 feet between it and the curve of 16 feet clepth. The harbor of refuge as originally projected was estima'ed to cost $1,800,000. The west breakwater, completed in 1883, to- 2,000 feet, the same being transmitted in re-| vetner with repairs to same, cost in rund num- bers $813,000; to which add the estimated cost for the parapet fur same, 860,000. The east brenk water as at present projected is estimated to cost $440,000, making a total of $1.318 000. There has been appropriated to date for the harbor of refuge $998,750, 80,that the eatimated amount required to complete ac- cording to present plan is $319,250. The proposed extension requires the con- struction of .about 2,000 linear, feet ad- ditional of breakwater, in water of an aver- nge depth of 28 feet, and. will cost (at pres- ent contract prices) about $160 per linear foot, or $800,000. forthe extension, making a total of $619,259 to complete ‘on ‘the pro- posed enlarged plan, 4 The total cost. of \the harbor of refuge would then be $1,613,000, or $187,000 less than the original estimate. If, then, congress in 1875 deemed it ad- visable to commence a work estimated to cost $1,800,000 there should be no hesitation in 1888, when the needs of commerce are more than quadrupled, to sanction a change of plan whieh materially enlarges and im- proves the harbor of refugeat a cost of $187,- 000 less than the original estimate, Weighed against the interests to be bene- fited and the large amount of commerce to be accommodated, the amount required for the extension is very small. Ihave, therefore, to earnestly recom- mended that the proposed extension of the east breakwater at Cleveland Harbor, Ohio, be sanctioned and approved, Very respectfully, your obedient servant, L. Cooprr OvERMAN, Major of Engineers. The Chief of Engineers, U.S. A. NEW LIGHT HOUSES RECOMMENDED, The committee on commerce his re,orted a bill to provide for the erection of sundry light houses on Lake Superior, Huron, Erie and Miel- igan. Following are some of the fog signals and ligtits provided fur: Fog signal, Beaver Island, Lake Michigan, $5,500; Mackinac Point, $5,500. Light house, White Shoals, Lake Michiyan; $60,000. Fog signal, Twin River Point, Lake Michigan; $5,500. Fog whistle, Lapointe, Asb- land Harbor, Lake Superior; $5 500; Point Iro- quois $5,500, Fog signal at ‘lwo Harbors $5, - 600; Light-on Devii’s Island, Apostle group» $15,000; Range lights at Duluth, $3,284.12, In its report upov the various propositions sug- gested in its bill, tie board says, in relation to its recommendatiou for the erection of a fog. signal at Two Harbors, Miun., that it was una- ble to purchase a s:te ujon the headland, where the fog-sigual cugit tostand, and that it will have to be coutent with placing iton the piers now in course of construction. In recommend- ing the range lights at Duluth, the bvard sug- gests that the words ‘‘white fing’? be omitted from the bill, as they have grave doubts whether the tower to be built could stand the vib:ation necessary to secure a flash-light. : MARIVIME. LAW, PRINCIPAL AND AGENT—SUPPLIES FUR- NISHED ON CREDIT TO AGENT—LIABILITY OF PRINCIPAL. U. 8. District Court, Southern District of New York. Exceptions to Commissioner’s Report. Brown, J. The libelant sold supplies to one Gibson, who was engaged in the management of a oumber of canal boats, some of which be- Jonged to the respondent. As respects the re- spondent’s boats he was his general agent in Managing the boats and business connected therewith, but had been forbidden to procure Gibson rendered to re- spondent accounts trom time to time in re- His general management ot the business that was entrusted to him was sufficient to charge the respondent for the supplies actually furnished to his boats, although they were procured upon credit in violation of the re- spondent’s instructions to Gibson as agent. The Suliote, 28 Fed. Rep. 919. In the case of Lanig v. Butler & al. (837 Hem, 144) it was held that where the seller trusted the agent exclusively, not knowing the principal, and the principal had furnished the agent the money with which to muke the purchase the principal was not liable. That case is not applicable here, because the essential fact on which it turns does not here exist; the respondent had neither furnished the money to the agent with which to make the purchase, nor had he settled with him on the basis of a previous payment of the bills-by the ageut; nor, in so. far as ap- pears, had he surrendered any claims or right agninst the agent; or in any way changed his own position. Whatever he may lose, he Joses simply by the agent’s dis- honesty and treachery; and of this the principal took the risk, as re-pects the ager ts dealings with third persons, See the Suliote, 23 Fee, Rep..919; Berwind v.

There can be no doubt that the note was not received.in abso- Jute payment; but the note is not produced, and itis alleged to huve been lost. Upon the evidence.as it stands, I do not think [should be warranted in reversing the commission er finding that it had not been paid. The usual bond of indemnity with sufficient surety and justification must be given.
