Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
LONDON, August 15.-The session OF this par
lament having ended, every one seems need
lessly eager TO look forward rather than back
ward. This feeling is perhaps due TO sympathy
with Mr. Gladstone. whose administration and
practically, whose political life came to a close
amid mists which hide for q moment its great
permanent achievements. The wonder is that
he still holds his undisputed position after the
receut extraordinary succession of events dis
crediting the liberals government, setting
aside the Egyptian war itself, which have come
like series OF weltaimcd blows-the tall of
khartou!n, the death of Gordon, Graham's
bloody raids, the collapse Of the Berber railway,
the necessity OF an y?tian loan, the Bos,I,ore-
Egyptien incident, the Penjdch conflict, the
enormous vote OF credit, the dispute I'm the
cabinet over the crimes ACT, the circumstances
OF the government defeat. and nnally the dis
covery Of gross ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the admi-

express confidence that the mists, thick * they

The Suburban Water Supply.


THE ACTION TAKEN ON A PETITION FROM
ANACoSTIA FOR THE EXTENSION OF A WATER
MAIN TO THAT PLACE.
few weeks ago a petition was received by
the Commissioners from large number of citi-
zens Of UniOntOwn asking that the water main
on 18th street southeast be extended across the
river to Anacostia, thence the following
streets: Monroe, Harrison, Jackson, Washing
ton and Jefferson. Lieut.. Townsend has re-
ported on the petition as follows: "When PotO-
mac water is introduced into Anacostia the
supply main not only should be large enough
for the immediate wants of the locality, but
allowance should be made for future growth.
The six-inch main on 11th street southeast was
only laid to supply that street, and with the
present water pressure 1t would be too small to
supply Anacostia in addition to its present re-
qu1rements. do not consider 1t advisable to
extend the water mains beyond the city limits
until the new reservoir is completed. The
twelve-inch main on 9Th street could then be
extended across the bridge and an ample sup
ply furnished for many years."
Major Lydecker directed the secretary TO
reply to the petitioners that ait will not be
practicable to extend the water supply to Ana
costa until the work now in progress for in
cTeasing the supply in Washington and George
town has been com p1eted, when the expediency
and propriety OF such extension may be con-
sidercd. In any event Congressional action
would probably be required before any steps
are taken in that direction"
