CIeyeIand's water supply Cut on.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 15.-The two big
pumps which were kept q. work at inter
walls during the afternoon were shut down
| this evening, the supply OF water having
been cut off entirely. The cause OF the
stoppage given by the waterworks off,
| cials ia that the stsnd-pipe, which leads
into the tunnel out at the crib, and not
the tunnel itself, is ehoked with ice. The
top Of this stsnd-pipe is several feet below
the surface Of the lake. II il covered with
grating to prevent the entrance OF drift
wood and other large distractions. Fine
ice is. however. SUCKED through the graf
ing. and has been solidly packed into the
| pipe by the force Of the water. The man
u~facturing establishments that depended
on the city for their water are closed, and
tonight the water is being hauled from
the river and lake to supply the establish.
ments that nus run at night. The city Is
in q p~erilous condition. Should a fire
break ont in the business part of the city
the fire department could not do anything
with it. They could get no water, and the
only apparatus that could be called into
service would be two or three chemical en-
gines. At IL o'clock tonight the water
works officials had given up all hope OF re-
moving the ice from the stand-pipe before
tomorrow. The pipe is 80 feet in hight
and 9 feet in diameter, and Is packed full
Of ice. 1t may be necessary to wait until
the weather becomes warmer and the ice
ihaws, for it seems almost impossible to
remove the obstruction by any mechanical
means.
LATER The situation, 80 far ss the
water famine is concerned. remained I'M.
| changed until 10 o'clock this morning,
when 1t was found that the water was en-
terine the tunnel, and the engine was
started at the pumping station. This is
still working slowly, and the indications
are more favorable than for many hours.
A great msjori.y of the manufacturing
establishments, which depend upon the
city for water, have shut down. Nearly
all the courts have adjourned, as the
| steam-heating facilities are frozen up.
Hundreds Of teams are engaged in haul
ing water from the lake. with which TO
| supply thirty families. Should the pres.
ent favorable condition OF affairs continue
another engine will be put in operation OF
the pumping station as soon as practicable.
Congressional Proceedings.
WAsHIsoroN, Jan. 15.-The Republican
Senators met in caucus at haIf.past 10
O'Clock this morning and adjourned at

pare views with regard to the right Of the

reasons for making removals from Office.
The fact was stated that many Of the in
quiries addressed TO the heads Of Depart.
ments by chairmen Of committees remain
unanswered, but up 10 this time indicate
no purpose to refuse TO give this informa.
ton. No formal proposition was made.
and no action was taken, while a wide va
riety Of opinions found expression with
regard 10 the propriety Of raising a formal
issue with the Administration at present
upon this question. A majority were of
the opinion that should the information
sought not ultimately be forthcoming the
Republicans will, in justice to the mea
who have been suspended or removed for
supposed cause. be required to take some
formal action in the Senate to secure the
information. or an avowsl by the Presi-
dent that he will not give his reasons for
making the removals. There was q unani-
nous concurrence in the opinion that the
removed officials have q right to know
whether they were removed for political
reasons or INSTRUMENTATION of their
trusts. and that il is the Senators duty to
secure information il possible.
