ECONOMY IN USE OF WATER.
No Extension of the Hours for Street
Sprinkling will be Permitted.

Some days ago the Commissioners received
from the surgeon-general of the United States
army request from Captain and Assistant
Surgeon Ainsworth for permission to use the
Potomac water for sprinkling the street and
washing the sidewalk in front of the old mu-
scum building, on 10th street, at any time
during the day. He urged the necessity of the
permit on the ground that the dust blowing in
from the street was liable to destroy the
records. The matter was referred to Capt
Lusk. In passing upon the case, he says there
is no question that the comfort and health Of
thousands of people occupying the higher
grounds OF the city will be prejudiced by any
extension of the hours Of sprinkling as at pres
ent authorized. Capt. Lusk further says that
so far as concerns establishments of the general
government there Is considerable doubt as to
the authority of the District Commissioners to
interfere with or exercise any control over the
use of water for spripkling. The matter was
referred to Attorney Riddle for his opinion. In
his reply to the Commissioners to-day he says:
ATTORNEY RIDDLES OPINION.
''The general government is the author and
proprietor of the waterworks. The engineer
in-chef has paramount control of them, and
might, to ensure supply of water to the
United States departments, cut the people
short. The building belongs to and is occupied
by the United States. The street on which it
stands including the sidewalk, is under the
supervision of the Commissioners, who also
supervise the distribution of water to people
of the District, deriving their powers in both
instances from the United States Their power
over the water service is coextensiye with that
of the late District legislature, fo- which see
chap. 1S, Rev. Stat. d. c. The Commissioners
undoubtedly have the power to authorize the
thing required. l think if done it should be
by amending the present regulations excepting
this building from its effect"
Acting upon this. Capt. Lusk recommended
that as the proposed use of the water will be
at the expense of the comfort and health Of
the people on the high grounds permit be re-
fused. The Commissioners approved his rec
ommendation

President ana Mr.. Wanamaker last evening.
Hating before the Wanamaker cottage the

way to Cape May. where the nurse remained ss

thus many were privileged TO catch view Of
him he passed. Baby Mckee sat between
Grandpa Harrison and Mr.. Wanamaker, closely
held by the President Afterward the entire

The Dynamite Crusier Vesuyius.

Cramp Bros, Of Philadelphia have noti-
fed the Secretary of the Navy that the damage
done by the premature discharge of one of the
guns on the dynamite crusier Vesuvius has been
repaired, and that she will be ready for the Of
fetal test of her guns for rapidity of fire next
week. The vessel has already been tested for
speed and theaccuracy of her guns, and if the
rapidity- -of-fre test is up to the contract re-
quirements she will probably be accepted and
sent to the torpedo station at Newport for use
in the instruction of officers and men in hand
ling her. Very soon after the Vesuvius is ac-
cepted Secretary Tracy is expected to enter
into a contract with the Dynamite Gun COM
pany for the construction of the duplicate Of
the Vesuvius which was authorized by the last
Congress conditionally on the Vesuvius COM
ing fully up to her requirements. The Pneu-

GOVERNMENT TELEPHONES.
How the British Government Proposes
to Check Consolidation.

LONDON, June 22.-The telephone companies
of the united kingdom are much exercised
over a statement made in the house OF COM
mons the other day by Postmaster-Genersl
Raikes that the government would probably
soon take over all the telephone business Of the
country. The companies to-day began the cir
culation OF petitions in London and other cities
protesting against this interference with their
business. The threat of the postmaster-gen-
eral was called forth by the announcement that
three OF the great telephone companies were
negotiating for consolidation, and the alarm
on the part of the patrons at the monopoly
proposed The companies took the hint and
abandoned their consolidation scheme but did
what amounted to the same thing. two of them
went out OF business and abandoned the field
to the third. receiving compensation for
their good nature an equivalent of which the
public is not permitted to know the nature.
The company urges that it is furnishing bet
ter service than the government where the gov
ernment operates the telephone, but although
this seems to be generally conceded it looks as
though the outcry caused by the consolidation
into one vast monopoly would compel the post
master-general to carry out his threat.

CRUELTY To IRISH PRISONERS.
The many political prisoners at present con-
fined in the Irish jails are denied access to the
daily newspapers, and not a scrap Of informs-
ton from the outside world is permitted to
reach their cells Some indignation is caused
here by the revelation of the cruel extremes TO
which this rule is enforced. BY the special
direction Of the judges Of the special commis-
sion court now in session Mr.. John O'Conner
and Mr.. Condor, two of the incarcerated Irish
agitators were ordered to be supplied with
reports of the evidence. The reports they got
were cut from the newspapers. and what was
their modification on receiving the cuttings to
find that the backs of them were pasted over
with brown paper, so that the prisoners should
have no chance Of reading a stray paragraph Of
news telling them what was going on in the
outer world.

house, 10 this piece of heartless cruelty.

The battle-ground to be Near Arbita
Springs. La.

NEw ORLEANS, La, June 22-Tt is stated
by those who know that arrangements have
heen made for the Sullivan-Kilrain fight and
the ground for the battle agreed upon. II will
be near Arbita Springs, on the line of the East
Louisiana railroad, in ST. Tammany parish.
For month past the officials of the Queen and
Crescent and the East Louisiana roads have
been working hard TO have the fight come OF
near Arbita Springs, and offered such induce
ments and facilities for the transportation OF
crowds that the managers Of kirain, who had
the choice of ground. accepted the offer sub
mitted to them. The East Louisiana railroad
people were especially interested in having the
fight take place near Arbita Springs ON account
of the advertisement il would give that resort,
and Messrs. Pontevent and Favre offered 70
erect an amphitheater on the battle-ground
capable OF seating 1000 people. The people Of
ST. Tammany agree that there shall be no in
reference and no intimidation, a fair fight and
the best man TO win.

Several Cases of Sickness In the Hos.
pitfalls.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, June 22-The Red Cross
hospital reports four new cases received this
morning. Two are serious cases Of blood
poisoning and two typhoid fever.
At a meeting of the local physicians of this
city, held last evening, the sanitary and gen.
eral condition of health in the flooded district
were under discussion. The physicians also
compared notes as to the number of lives lost
in the flood. All agreed that the dead number
at least l0,000. These resident physicians have
probably had a better opportunity for judging
the loss OF life than any other person here.
Their judgment on this subject is accepted with
confidence.
THE WORST FEATURE OF THE FLOOD,
with regard to the great loss of life, remains to
be told.
As stated in previous telegram, the resident
physicians claim that ten thousand people are
missing. Now the figure is put at twelve
thousand by those who claim to know The
scenes here to-day are beyond description.
Another entire family, James Murtha,
wife and two children, were found in one house.
The others identified were Jacob Hamilton,
Maggie B. Ripple. In all up to the hour Of
noon fifteen bodies had been taken out A
lsborer in the employ of Contractor Mcknight
died at the hospital to-days His name is not
known. This morning, following a blast of
dynamite, two human feet were thrown from
the drift high into the air. The body has not
yet been recovered The remains Of another
body, supposed to be that of female, have
just been taken to the morgue, burned and de.
composed beyond identification
