The Victory Won.

II was the purpose and intent OF The
REPUBLICAN when, on the 9Th of May, IT
began to expose the pollution Of the Dis.
thct water supply to call, and, II need be,
to force attention TO the causes of such pol
luton to the end that they might be re-
moved.
with this single object in view, to have
all communicating agencies removed or
rendered imperative before the heated
term should set in, so that our citizens
might have the pure, wholesome water Of
the Potomac (than which there is none
more desirable) for use during the sum
mer, THE REPUBLICAN began and car
riod on the water agitation.
Starting upon a high plane, having no
narrow, selfish ends to serve, being engaged
in good cause and actuated by an honor
able motive, THE REPUBLICAN, had no doubt
that its efforts would be crowned with sue
cess.
This confidence was well founded. Sue
cess has been achieved; victory has come.
The REPUBLICAN is reioiccd to announce
that as result Of the agitation begun in
these columns forty days ago remedial
agencies have been applied, the evils ex-
posed have been abatcd, and the,Potomac
water, mcasurably freed from pollutlng In
fluences, is now wholesome beverage
When the attention OF the engineer
officers had been called by The REPUDLIcAN
to the fact that pollution from the canal
was flowing into the mouth Of the conduit
at Great Falls they took measures TO stop
such inflow, adopting u temporary expe-
dent to begin with, but promptly arranging
for permanent work by which the waste
weir of the canal viii boremovcd to point
below the mouth OF the conduit.
When THE REPUBLICAN, had investigated
the sources Of pollution at the receiving
reservoir and had published map of the
reservoir and its surroundings, showing
that, instead of publication of the water at
that point, pollution only was possible, the
NA'sA''SNA NAiNNio iAttlANIg NNhNCuti Nudb VIC
asserted, and agreed to abandon the rescr-
voir aud bring the water directly from the
Potomac except in case of some extreme
emergency that may possibly happen later
In the summer.
Thus the waterwas protected at its source
and in transit. Then the spigots We're
turned on and the foul water in the storing
reservoir was let out, 80 that now the COM
mittee Of the District Medical Association,
after careful scientific inspection, finds that
we are having the Potomac water, in a fair
degree Of purity, running through our sup
ply pipes. 1t is good news at the inception
Of the heated term. 1t is precisely what
The REPUBLICAN, intended to bring about.
We feel that in this matter we have full
filed that peculiar duty which the press
owes to community which has no direct
voice or influence in its own government.

OTHER RECE\T EXPLOSIONS.

In 1881 n number of attempts were made To Dlow
up or njurc public buildings in England but the
conviction IN August, OF two men for the attenpt
on Liverpool Town Hall put a stop To such
measures on the part of Irish agitators Tor long
time. About tho 1ith Of January, 1881. an at
tempt made to blow up the armory OF the
InfaTry barracks at Stafford, where the
rifles of tho volunteers were deposited.
A meat store near tho Armory was
blown to atoms. but no other damage was
done. At midnight of March 10, 1881 policemen
found in the recess of window OF the Mansion
House, London under tho Lord Mayors private
apartments, box containing fifteen pounds OF
coarse gunpowder. The brown paper in which the
box was wrapped was smouldering, and the hre mad
almost reached tho end of fusa lead
ing into the box. An explosion would have oc-
Cured soon but for the discovery. On the night OF
May o. parcel of. gunpowder was exploded under
the walls Of tho barracks at Chester. The damage
was slight and it Is believed that some
militiamen who had been punished we're
the perpetrators. On May 10 an unsuc-
cessful attempt was made to blow up the Central
Police Station ut Liverpool by means OF atube
containing dynamite or gunpowder On
June o, 1881, an effort was made to
blow up the Town Hall at Liverpool by
discharging gaspipe loaded with gunpowder, Dy
means OIL q fuse, against door' Oh'y
slight injury was done. Two men were arrested at
the time. and tried for this crime, ana also
the previous attempt ON tho police station. Early
in August the two men, McGrath and McKevitt,
were found guilty of causing the explosion. Nc
Grath was sentenced to penal servitude tor life
and McKevitt to fifteen years. When they were
arrested documents were found in their possession
connecting them with the Fenian brotherhood.
Both of them had returned to England IRON this
country only u short time before the explosion
In 1882 tho demonstrations on the part OF irish
agitators against the Government and Its agents
were confined chiefly to ireland. and were directed
principally against individuals Several murders

ORGANIZING FOR ANOTHER ATTACK.

KHLED AND WOUNDED.
HoSG KONG, Jan. 24.-Advices received here
state positively that Admiral COurbets operations
for the seizure of the mines Of Kelung have been
thwarted by the Chinese The dispatches state
that the French troops attacked Kelung and were
repulsed with a loss of seventy five men in killed
and wounded. The fighting is said to have been
severe. Later news contains the information that
the rcpulse OF the French was due largef to the
utter ineficiency of their attack, owing to mis-
calculation of the enemy's strength The French
troops now being organized for combined
attack upon both Kelung and Tamsui.
LONDON. Jan. 2i.-Ihe report that the French
troops had been defeated at Keung with loss of
sevcnty-hve killed and wounded has been con-

A dispatch from Paris says that no official report
OF an engagement at kelung has been received. On

tion Of the world and led to o long trial CT many
prisoners being that of Lord Cavendish, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, on May g. 1882. But no
attempt was made to blow up public buildings
until the night of March Is, 1888, when the Local
Government Board offices IN Westminster. near the
Houses of Parliament. were nearly destroyed by an
exposion Of dynamite The night before q canister
containing explosive material was found near The
Times Office, but it discovered before any explo
sion took place. The noise of the explosion in
Westminster heard at distance of two or three
miles. The Offices of the Local Government Board
were seriously damaged. but there was no loss of
life. The adjacent streets filled with myriads
of fragments of glass and heaps of heavy plate
glass. stone weighing 200 pounds was projected
against the King Street Police Station. making a
hole the size of a mans head In room the floor
was literally ploughed, the dynamite making deep
trench ten feet long and three feet wide Two
children who were sleeping in house at the corner
OF klngst were thrown from their beds by the force
OF the explosion, and their faces badly cut.
Every pane of glass in the vicinity was shattered.
Late in May the Grand Jury found true bills
against DIR. Gallagher. Bernard Gallagher, White
head, Curtin. Ansburgh and Wilson. charging them
with treason-felony. Lynch, alias Norman. who
had turned intormer, was allowed TO testify for the
Queen. On June II four of the conspirators were
condemned to penal servtude for life.
In February 1884 attempts were made to shater
three Hallway stations in London and in May large
quantities OF nitrOglycerine exploded in Scot
land Yard AMI in St. James's Square. These out
RACES were not traced 10 any source but in England
they were naturally attributed to the Vaccinations
of Irish extremists On the 18th Of December there
was q terrific explosion under London Bridge.
Little damage was DONE however, though enough
dynamite used, if sk,lfully placed, to blow the
Bridge, crowded as it with people. into the air.
During the same month there was a report that an
explosive machine had been discovered at Windsor.
but it proved to be a false ALARM the materials
discovered in the railway station proving to be
harmless.
On the I'd inst. a dynamite explosion occurred on
the Underground Railway in London, between
GOwer-st and Kings Cross Station. The windows
of two trains shattered and the gas lights
extnguished. Beyond this no damage was DONE
except to the masonry near by.
