Gen. Grant and the Irish.
CoRK'S REFUSAL TO WELCOME THE EX-PRESl

Private letters received from Cork and Dublin
by Irish citizens of Washington confirm the
opinion that the refusal of the city of Cork 10
receive Gen. Grant was due princia ally to the
treatment which the Centennial address adopt
ed by citizens Of Ireland and sent to this country
received at the hands of President Grant. The
sentiments expressed in President Grants DeS
MoineS speech on "Church and State" was
made the Ostensible reason for the refusal of
Cork to honor the ex-PreSident; but the 1ndig-
nat1On felt at the nOn-receptiOn OF that frater
nal address was it Is alleged, the true ground
OF resentment. 1t appears that the whole fee
ing against Gen. Grant was worked up by Mr..
DOIan. who, to make sure Of the Snubbng Of
Gen. Grant, used his supposed anti-Cath)iic
views against him. The people Of Ireland
the letters state were not enraged at the re
fuSal OF this government TO receive the address
but at what they considered their shabby treat
ment by Gen. Grant. The embossed document
was sent over to this country by MeSSrS. Par
nel and O'ConnOr Power, two Irish men,
berS OF the British Parliament. Mr.. Parnell
was selected as one of the delegates because
he was grandson OF Commodore Stewart, OF
tie American navy, When these gentlemen
arrived at New York, Gen. Grant was at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel. They called upon him
with number OF compatriotS living in this
country, and made known the object OF their
Visit. one or the gentlemen who was present
at the interview told STAR reporter today
that they were received most cordially. PreSi-
dent Grant was glad to see that so kindly a
feeling was felt in ireland for the welfare OF the
happy to receive the address, and expressed
himself as ready 10 receive it then and there.
The delegation thought that to give more ectat to
the presentation it should be made here In
Washington. Gen. Grant expressed himself as
satisfied with the arrangement. MeSSrS. Par
Ieli and Power came TO Washington, and upon
the return OF the President sent the document
to the White House. The next morning they
received note from Assistant Secretary of
state adWalladeT-SecretaTy Fish was absent
ard did not, as is generally supposed, have any
hand in the matter-Saying that the address
could not be received except through the Brit
1Sn minister. As the contents OF iC were mimi
cal. 1nferentially, to Great Britain, the impOSS-
blllty OF such a course being taken was evident
The Irish members OF parliament then left for
New York. The address was sent from here by
gentleman to MIR. Power in New York; but
whether twas taken back to Ireland or still
remains in this country, is not definitely known
1t is very probable that it is now in New York
The letters from Ireland say that no bad feeI-
ing would have been engenGered ii the PreSi-
dent had stated that he could not have received
tie address when first waited upon. instead OF
promising to do so. and then allowing the
bearers OF 1t to be rebuffed in the manner de-
Scrihcd.

TIE CHEAPEST AND BEST PLAN FOR A B0CNTIFUi
SUPPLY.
Senator Dorsey presented in the Senate to
day letter received by him from Quartermas-
ter General Meigs, On the subject of the water
supply of the city Of Washington. Gen Meig5
submits his letter in connection with reports of
the commissioners OF the District Of Columbia
ard Of the engineer in charge of the Washing
TON aqueduct. The aQueduct engineer (Col
casey faVOrS the laying OF another 36-inch iron
main from the distributing reservoir to Capitol
Hill which, it was estimated, would cost
$685. Gen. Meigs says he has examined an
estimate made by him in 1876 of the cost of eX-
tending the aqueduct to the bluffs north of the
city, by 1unnelling, and also has obtained in-
formation from engineers Ia charge of the new
baltimore water supply, which is now under
construction. That supply is by a tunnel u
feet in diameter and seven and one-half miles
In length. The cost Of building the Baltimore
tunnel, 12 feet in diameter. its average deDth
below ground being 20I feet, is from s. 05 to
$ 80 per yard. The tunnel for the extension OF
the Washington aqueduct would pass through
ground OF Similar formation. Ii made
eleven feet in diameter which is the size OF the
tunnels through VI hich the aqueduct now passes
at the rate Of S5. 81 per cubic yard or SO 80 per
cublt fOCt; seventeen thousand feet of Suca
tunl Ell would bring the aqueduct from the dis
trbuting reservoir TO the line OF 18th street. and
would cost s32s, 100 or $40 SIS less than 35-incn
main 10 capitol Hill. The S1l,0o0 saTed from
the cost CT the proposed 36-inch main would
build the sn all terminal reservoir necessary,
and would lift and relay such portions of tie
II and 30-lnch mains between Georgetown and
the distributing reservoir as would be rendered
necessary by the construction OF the tunnel
The proposed extension Of the aqueduct by tua-
nel would give an increased supply OF 10 million
gallons every three hours on Capitol Hill while
The 36-inch main would only give the Hill 10
million gallons every tWenty-fOur hours. A
reservoir at 18th street, near the Columbia Col
lege grounds, Will have cOmmandin~ position,
and the pipes already laid will under this addi-
lional pressure near the CITY give greater sup
piy than now, and at higher level.
The question of increasing the water supply
or the city OF Washington was referred by the
Senate District committee to a sub committee
compo-ed OF Senators Barnum, MerrimOn and
Rollins.
