WAS THERE WATER ENOUGH?
Discussions Growing Ont of the
Recent Big Fire---Tcaring Down

Discussions Growing Ont Of the
Recent Big Fire---Tearing Down
the Walls.
The inability of the firemen to get
stream of water higher than the third
floor while the big fire was raging Tues
day afternoon has occasioned consider
able comment among insurance men
and others interested. 1t was said that
this was the fault of the inadequate
water supply. Secretary Caulfield, of
the water board, denies the truth of
this statement, and says that the agent
of the water board who examined the
work of the engines as they stood at
the hydrantS reported that the supply
was plenty. He says that if some of the
, engines had been attached to the n.y.
drants on Broadway they would have
tapped the main artery of the high
pressure service, which leads from the
Lake FadnaiS conduit without single
angle, and has natural head of from
$50 to I75 feet. There were nine en-
gineS at work at the fire endeayoring to
supply thirteen one and one-Quarter
inch streams from twelve-inch main,
some of the engines being required to
furnish force for two lines of hose. The
two engines working on the levee, fur
nishlng water for the firemen at the
rear of the building, worked admirably.
Master Mechanic Wheeler, of the fire
department, said yesterday that Engine
No. 6 had been disabled on account of a
LACK OF WATER
supply, and that from his observation
the supply to many other engines was
insufficient. He did not deny that the
engines were affected by the cold, and
were more or less efficient Oh that ac-
count
The fire department was busy yester-
day pulling down the lettering walls of
the burned store. A great deal of the
front wall and portion of the rear wall
were taken down, and there is now no
danger of them falling. Mr.. Foote,
senior member of the firm of FoOte,
SchulZe d. Co., was standing at plate
glass window watching the work of the
iremen yesterday, when loOSened
brick fell through the window and
struck him on the hip. He was slightly
cut by the broken glass, but otherwise
not much injured.
The big stock of groceries is
still smOulderlng, and occasionally
the flames burst out quite vigorously,
although two engines have been kept
constantly at work since Tuesday. An
insurance agent, who happened down
that way about q O'Clock last night to
look at the ruins, was so badly scared
when the fire took momentary start,
that he turned in an alarm and brought
the department out again. There was
nothing for the firemen to do, and they
went back to their homes considerably
disguised.

Arguments in Court Over the Au-

thority of the Commission.
The appeal of the Manitoba road from
the order of the railroad commissioners.
in relation to the 3-cent rate, came be-
fore Judge SimOns yesterday. NJ. D.
Grover appeared for the road and Attor-
ney General Clapp for the commission
ers. Attorney General Clapp's motion
for dismissal was taken under advise
ment. Mr.. Clapp occupied the morn
Ing with his argument and MIR. Grover
the afternoon. The case is this: Some
time ago the commissioners ordered that
the Manitoba and Northern Pacific re-
duce their passenger rates to 8 cents a
mile to all passengers buying their tick
cts before entering the train, providing
that no tickets be issued for less than
s cents. The Manitoba delayed Obeying
the order as long as possible and then
appealed from the order. About the
time tile company appealed the commits
SlonerS Issued instructions to paSSen-
gers TO refuse TO pay more than 3 cents
per mile, and in this way force q test
case. The Manitoba, however, appealed
before any test case was made. The
case is an important one, from the fact
that it involves the right of the commits
sion TO regulate the rates on any and all
roads in the state. The case looks favor
able from the fact that many other
states have the right to regulate rates
on railroads.

CHICAGO, July 23.-The Grievance
Committee of the Brotherhood of Engineers
will meet again to-day to hear further re-
ports from the balloting Of the "Q'
strikers. 1t is expected the canvass will
be completed by the middle of the week.
Quite a large number Of the strikers left
last night to attend the meeting of sngin-
eers and firemen and switchmen to be held
stSt. Joe, Mo-, tomorrow. The meeting
is expected to be the largest assembly OF
working railroad men ever known in this
country. Ali the great railroad lines OF
the States and Canada will be represented.
The meeting is called to consider the Bur-
iugton strike.
II is believed from statements made by
various Brotherhood men that the st. Joe
meeting may develop into the preliminary
step toward general boycott being order
ed against the 30" road on August l, the
date on which the heavy grain crops OF the
States penetrated by the "Q' system Will
be ready for transfer to market.
Some of the striking O., B. d Q engi-
neers and firemen are seeking employment
in other vocations. The Famous Manu-
featuring Company, manufacturers Of hay
presses, at Quincy, put on Is night force OF
about thirty men last night, composed
almost entirely of striking engineers.
A MeCook, Neb, dispatch says: Chair
man Hoge and Murphy were here yester-
day and canvsssed the subject OF calling
the strike off. Without q single dissent
ing voice the striking engineers and fire.
men voted to continue the struggle. Hoge
and Murphy have gone to Denver. 1t is
understood that the sentiment has been
practically unanimous along the route for
q continuance of the strike.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The tariff bill
passed in the House on Saturday, was al
once reported to the Senate and referred
to the Finance Committee. The Demo.
cratic members have made the proposition
to have it taken mp section by section and
discussed in COMMITTEES. The Republican
members refuse todo this and the bill will
be pigeon-holed, notwithstanding the sub
Finance Committee is working with show
of vigor on q substitute bill. II appears
that they have no real intention of report
ing bill before the summer adjournment,
if they do not,it will deprive the Democrats
Of the committee from reporting the Mills
bill as minority measure.
This shelving process the Republicans
will excuse by saying that they did moi
get the Mills bill in time, but this pretepse
will not be very convincing, for the Fl
nance Committee have had the opportunity
of informing themselves on that measure
since last March. They began the prepar'
ton of their bill before the Mills bill had
been finally considered in the House, and
they could as readily have begun work or
substitute six months ago as well 81
three weeks ago. Quay is desirous Of
keeping the Republicans as much in 6
non.commital attitude as possible. His
proposal is to represent the party as 9
'Chinese Wall tariff" party in States with
highly protected industries. While in
the Northwest the party is to be repre-
sented as tariff reform party.

NEW YORK, July 23.-When the Ath-
letic players finished whipping the Brook
lyn., yesterday, President Byrpe sent down
to the dressing room for John Burdock,
second baseman, and William O'Brien, the
left-felder. His message demanded their
appearance in the Office, and when they
reached it they we're introduced to
Detective McGrsth, who touched both Of
them and then finally placed them under
arrest on two charges.
That against Burdock was "Outraging
public decency," and it is made by Miss
Tillie Brown, whose home is at No. 355
Fifth avenue, and was for an offense COM
mitted in January last. Burdock had
Just been presented with gold badge and
pillow by his friends.
Miss Louie Jones, of Stapleton, l.. l.,
accuses o. Brien of stealing her pet tarrier,
the value of which she places in the hun
dreds.
O'Brien says he loaned the dog to Miss
Jones, after BILLY" Holbert, the catcher,
had given it to him as mascotte, and that
the lady has no claim to it. President
Byrne, who had succeeded in delaying the
arrest until the game was over, agreed to
have the accused men in court to-day, and
as both of them expressed their willingness
to answer the charges, they we're not lock,

talk here. Mrs. Langtry is occupying the
spacious old-fsshioned cottage Of Major
George Washington Brown, on Bath ave-
nue.. Mrs. LIE Breton, the Lily's mother,

land last week, are here as the guests OF

A newspaper representative called at the

dress, who answered the ring Of the door
bell, said that Mrs. Langtry was dressing
for dinner party, and could see no one.
He took the reporters card up stairs and
returned with the statement that Mrs.
Langtry positively refused to see any re-
porters.
When asked if there was any truth in
the rumor that Mrs. Langtry and Freddy
had united their hearts and fortunes, the
young man, who spoke like one having au-
thority, said that the story is q mass Of
bosh, like everything else Published about
NJ Langtry. There is not word Of
truth in it.

olutions were passed endorsing the admin
istration of President Cleveland, approx
ing his last message and the st. Louis
platform and pledipg support to the Ma
tional ticket. Ex-Governor d. d. T. Farms
worth addressed the convention. He de-
clared his intention to vote for Cleveland
and Thurman, and to stump the State in
favor Of tariff reduction. He challenged
any Republican in the State, and particu-
larly Gen. Gof, to meet him before the
people in joint discussion. 1t is safe to
say that GOff will not dare to meet him.
