measures proposed to oAoot this pun pvsr. The
ex-Congressman well knows the jealousy of
Western members-well knows how thew
sneer at our fishing bounties (which thew
have finally abolished) at everything looking
like discrimination in favor of New Eng
land, and at our demand for readustment
of the tariff so as to relieve the shipping in
terest, while adhering to the principle of pro-
lection in general. He knows what effect
upon their favorable disposition toward the
bills the appearance of discrimination in ia
vor OF ceasting vessels would have. He ought
to know, too, but we doubt if he does, that not
week ago delegation of the iron ship
builders and machinists, representing every
firm but two in the country, was before the
special committee, representing that they
were unfairly used. They said that the draw
back for iron vessels was much less in pro-
portion than on wooden vessels, while wood
en- vessels needed aid much less, because to-
day iron is cheaper on the Kennebec than
on the Clyde" Can their support be wantonly
thrown away, by discriminating against them
still further?

BERLIN, July 27.-The Correspondence of to-

Emperor offered to Bismarck. In its
the Correspondence says that the Emperor
waived all opposition to German unifcation.
provided Russia would abet the French acquisi-
ton of Luxembourg and the reduction of Bel
gium. Minutes of the secret treaty in Bene-
dettis autograph are preserved in the War Office
at Berlin. Before the war of 1866 between
Prussia and Austria, Napoleon had offered to
aid Prussia with three hundred thousand men
with which to attack Austria, as the equivalent
for the cession TO France of territory on the left
bank of the Rhine.

Important to Cigar Manufacturers
In reply to the question whether a cigar
manufacturer who manufactures by contract for
another cigar manufacturer can use the brand,
caution, label, ETC., of the last named manufac-
turer, the acting Commissioner of Internal
Revenue states that the actual manufactures
must use his own brand and labels. He cannot
use upon cigars which he manufactures the
brands and labels of another manufacturer.

N. Y. MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY.

From the NJ. Y. Herald.
"The Wall street markets have been again
affected by the warm weather, and were il not that
stocks betrayed a weakness which compelled the
brokers to be constantly on the watch at the
Long Room, stocks and gold would have been dun
altogether.
zine waning speculative spirit of the Gold Room
keeps pace with the absence OF startling news from
Europe. The market was very steady to-day. The
highest price was due to the lower quotations for
our securities in London, where a very uneasy feel
ing was reported to exist in consequence of the
alleged FraDco-PTussian treaty. still the lack Of
Room wishes events, facts, fats Gcco1aplts, now, in
stead Of Impressions or rumors. Hence a selling
movement to realize the advance provoked a decline
to 1909, especially as foreign exchange was re-
ported lower and as there was comparative silence
concerning the shipments of specie tomorrow.
Many of the bulls alsol became impatient and sold
out with the intention of taking the chances of buy
ing back at a lower price before q battle should
come of. Afterward the confident prediction that
the rate of discount in London and Paris will be ad-
vanced to five per cent. within the current week led
TO q return TO 121S.
1.-THE heavy realization In stocks and decline in
prices during the past few weeks have afforded bor-
rowers on call a better supply OF funds. To-day the
close OF banking hours large amounts were offered
at four per cent. The stock houses in the earlier
hours OF the afternoon were freely at
five per cent The government dealers were sup
piled at three to five per cent. Commercial paper
shows the disposition Of BUYERS to purchase at rates
which will compensate for the expected activity in
money next fall. Hence there are no transactions
at less than seven per cent, and the rate for prime
paper ranges from that figure to eight per cent"

The secret Treaty-its Existence Denied.
PARIS, July 27.-The journal 0ficiel mas an
article this morning in relation to the pretended
treaty recently published in the London Times,
having for its object the acquisition of Luxem-
burg and Belgium by France, on condition of
France not opposing the union of the States
of the South with the North German Coincide
ration.
1t says that after the treaty of Prague in 1866
several conferences we're held at Berlin between
Count Won Bismarck and the French Ambassa-
dor on the subject of a projected alliance.
Some of the ideas set forth in the London Times
were then advanced, but the French Govern
ment never had any knowledge of the project
described, and as to the propositions which
were discussed at the interviews mentioned the
Emperor rejected them. 1t can escape no one
that this publication on the part of the London
Times is designed merely to influence public
opinion in England.

THE SITUATION AT METZ.
The French Position Last S~unday-Along the
Lines.

the Ffencn fOsition Last SunuhS-Aiong the
LONDON, July Ca special correspondent
at Metz on Sunday nigh hit sent the following let
ter, containing a clear statement OF the French
POSITION
l left Hagenau on the 23d, taking the train by
the line which leads past Bitche and Sarregue-
mines to Metz. Along this line warlike prepa-
rations of every kind were to be seen. | passed
tield-batteries parked complete at the different
shunting places until / got tired of looking at
them. Although the French carry their infantry
and artillery a good deal over The railways, they
seem inclined to allow the cavalry to march
along the roads.
About 4 o'clock we reached the Vosges. This
range of hills, which takes rise near Belfort,
runs tolerably parallel with the Rhine until it
slopes down TO the lowlands about Coblentz
and Mayence, where the Strasbourg, Bitche,
and Metz lines pierce the range. As a military
obstacle the Vosges has always been considered
the second line of defense possessed by France
on the east. Still, the thinness of the range,
the breadth of which near Bitche is
under twenty miles, and the
large number OF valleys which cross it In a ira
verse direction, prevent it from forming a very
considerable military obstacle. There is a
society called the "Francs-tireurs of the Vosges, I"
which on q small scale bears some resemblance
TO our volunteers. AS a self-organized force it
seems contrary TO the military genius of France.
They have always been considered in an anus
ing light by the French journals, which are,
how ever, now beginning to express their aston
ishment at finding that the bands OF the Vosges
are seriously demanding permission to elect a
general and to cooperate with the regular
forces.
After winding for some time through a dehle,
and before we had altogether descended the
western slopes of the Vosges, we arrived at
Bitche, a mail fortified place with a strong
citadel, the strength of which seemed to lie in
the high and scarped sides of the hill upon
which it was perched. From Bitche to Sarre-
guemines we passed camp after camp. True,
many of these were small, but everything con
nected with them Enthusiastically revealed that
these were the outlying parts of the huge force.
From Bitche to SarTeguemines is about twenty
miles, and throughout this distance and for
about twenty miles west of Sarreguemines, forty
miles in all, the line constantly approaches
within a few miles of the frontier.
Between Bitche and Sarreguemines their
numbers evidently inspired the French with
confidence; but beyond the latter post it was
clear that the line, which, as Ii leads from Metz
10 Bjtehe, is just now Of extraordinary import

OUR WATER SUPPLY.

Work at the Paramount Water Works is
progre ssing rapidly, and numerous i'm
p~roYements are being completed. The
new Cornish engine, which was put in
operation early this year, is now pumping about
5000, 900 gallons per day. This engine, with the
others in use at these works, pump about 1S,OOO,-
900 gallons per day, an increase of 1000, 600 per
day, as compared with the period of drouth last
summer. A larger engine, OF the same pattern,
which will be capable OF pumping about 10000
600 gallons per day, is now under way, and will
be finished next March.
The second large turbine wheel built in the
place of the old breast wheels is completed, and
now pumping about S,000,0 600 gallons per day.
A contract was made some time since for the
third turbine wheel, and the work has been COM
menced, but will not be completed until next
year. When this is finished but two of the old
breast wheels will remain.
One section of the new reservoir at Belmont,
20 supply West Philadelphia, has been COM
pleted, and in a few days will be filed with
water, the new engine at the new works, near
Belmont Cottage, having been finished. The
capacity of this engine and pump is 5 100000
gallons per day. AS soon as the second engine
for these works is built and put in place, the
old eDgine-house near Girard avenue will be
abandoned.
Although the work on the new iron bridge
over the Wissahickon has been in progress for
more than a year, yet it still lacks completion.
The object in erecting this structure is to pro-
vide for the conducting of water from the RoX-
borough reservoir to the Twenty-second ward. 1t
was intended that the affair should have been
completed about the LIST of January last, but de-
lay after delay has occurred, and the work yet
drags slowly. Agreat deal of this is owing to
the Wretched manner in which the reservoirs on
Roxborough heights we're built, their want of
greater elevation, and the inefficient power of
the engine placed there. To repair these blum
ders Councils have appropriated $l47,OOO for
another and larger engine, and for other i'm
movements.

Rewarded.
The work on the new Masonic Temple at
Broad and Filbert streets is progressing rapidly.
The capping-stones on the second story are in
position, and the iron girders for the third floor
will be soon in their places.
An encampment of Knights Templar has been
arranged to take place at Atlantic City next
month, commencing on the 18th and continuing
until the oath. The camp will be under the
auspices of Cyrene Commandery, of Camden,
and other New Jersey organizations of Knights
Templar. Delegations from our city comman-
deries will be present, and probably one of our
Communicates will go into camp with their New
Jersey brethren in a body.
A few days since the members of Mary Com
mandery, No. SO, Knights Templar, of this city,
presented, through Past Eminent Commanded
William j. Kelly, a magnificent gold medal to
Mr.. Godfrey Keebler, as a token of their appre-
citation OF his very satisfactory efforts at thu
recent en%campment at Williamsport, while act
ing as quartermaster for the cOmmandery.
ROBBERY IN BROAD STREEr,-Last night the
residence No. S2S North Broad street was en-
tered by a thief, who In his ransacking of the
place attracted the attention of the neighbors.
The police being warned, the house was
searched, but no thief could be found. The
officers then locked up the place and left.
About 4 o'clock this morning some of the resi-
dents saw the rascal leave the building, carrying
with him a bundle. 1t has since been aseer-
tanned that the thief was locked in one of the
rooms, and, after the officers left, had by hard
work cut a panel out of the door and thus
effected his escape.
A SAD CAsE.-James Dundon, one of the
workmen injured by the falling of the scaffold
az the oil works near Point Breeze, died last
night at the hospital. Deceased was not twenty
one years of age, and had only lately arrived
from Ireland. Unfortunately he has not a
friend or relative here to see after his remains.
