Water Registrar Cox, in his report to the Dis
trict Commissioners makes strong representa-
tion of the needs Of an increased water supply.
Not only is the supply inadequate for present
emergencies, but people of wealth who are dis
posed TO invest largely in the erection of first
class houses are deferred from entering upon
these improvements by the doubt as to getting
awater supply; especially in the higher portions
of the city.
In other respects than the deficient supply, the
Water Department is reported in good condition.
The water rents and the arrearage taxes on
mains are coming i'm satisfactorily. The water
takers are more prompt in complying with the
laws and regulations and the much abused
plumbers are behaving very we'll. Property
holders are showing themselves amenable to
moral SuasiOn in the matter of lowering their
street-washer boxes, &C., to The grade of the
pavement. The water regist ar favOrs the pres
eryatiOn of all the pumps that have passed the
chemical analysis for purity of water, as an
auxiliary supply to the aquedGct.
The estimates for the expense of running the
department for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1885. appear to be reasonable, when it is taken
into consideration that there are It's miles Of
water mains, SIC hydrants. S25 firepugs and aga
pumps to be kept in repair, and provision made
for the running of the two great engines in
Georgetown and Washington which supply the
reservoir on the Heights of Georgetown and the
standpipe at the head of 10Th street with water.
The general impression is that the extra ses-
sion of the Senate will scarcely extend beyond
week as there will be but little for it to do.
Nothing but executive business can be trans
acted, and it is not believed President Arthur
will have much TO submit. The theory Of
short.session is founded upon the suppOstiOn
that the organization will be effected without
partisan fight. All the indications point to
quiet md peaceabe organization through mutual
concession. Should a dispute over the offices
to be filled arise, deadlock would probably
ensue and continue until the regular meeting
OF Congress. But there is no reason to appre-
bend such unseemly conduct on the part of
our highest legislative body. The committees,
created at each session TO exist for and during
that session; but should any dispute arise at the
coming extra session over the division of COM
mittees. the whole question of their formation
may be deferred until the regular session, as
the few appointments likely to be made by the
President will not necessarily require consider
alton by committees. The plan of cOnceding
the President pro teDlpOre and the secretary to
the democrats and of according the COM
mittees to the republicans seems to meet with
general favor. and. no doubt, some such COM
promise will be adopted.

truths about Malone, and none
that so we'll expresses the situation
as when he said that the past ex-
periences of the Republicans of
Virginia with Malone and "the
frequency with which he can
change front leads them to distrust
him." Mr.. Jorgensen thinks that
the Readjusters will not carry Vir-
ginia this year without the sup
port of the solid Republican vote,
and that the support given Ma
hone by the administration and
the Republican Senators has caus-
