A WATER FAMINE IN VIENNA.
The Austrian Capital Suffering from q
scarcity Of Drinking Material.


VIENNA, Feb. 25.-This capital is Just now sui.
fer1ng from partial water famine and is much
agitated over the question of water supply.
The monopoly Of water is at present held by
the municipal council, and the water is ali
brought from the celebrated Hochquelle and
!! kaiserbrunn springs. The quality OF the fluid
Is Is excellent, and the quantity was ample be-
1ore tne recent enormous growth of the city.
Latterly, however, the springs, generous as they
are, have frequently proved Inadequate to the
demands upon them, and much inconvenience
has resulted to the Viennese. Several private
corporations have for two or three years past
pressed tor privilege of supplying the city with
water va , which they proposed to bring from the
Danube. whose main stream lies two miles from
town, but the municipal council has always re-
sisted these attempts. The other day, owing
70 the long-continued frosts, both the Hoch-
auelie and the kaiserbrunn springs became
partially lmpeded, and Vienna has ever since
been on short allowance of water. The supply
has continued to diminish and the council has
just issued an edict ordering the people to use
water for all purposes with the greatest possible
economy until the frost releases its hold on the
sources of supply, under penalty of having the
supply cut Off entirely in each case of waste.
This edict has revived the "water debate" with
intensified vigOr.
