A MONOPOLY OF TINE.
Why Private Observatories COMPLAIN
Against the Naval Observatory.

Dispatches in the New York Herald TODAY
from st. Paul, Mimi, st. Louis, Montreal and
elsewhere give voice to complaints made at the
college observatories in those places against
the naval observatory for furnishing time to
the Western Union Telegraph Company to be
made source OF profit by that company The
western Union, 1t is claimed, is 30 extending
Its service as to almost have a monopoly,
greatly to the detriment Of private observa-
tories that have derived an income by furnish
ing time to railroad companies and Others 1t
Is alleged also that the Western Union has
made an arrangement with a clock company
which gives the clock company a monopoly
speaking this morning In regard to the COM
plants against the Naval Observatory time SER
vice naval officer remarked to q STAR re-
porter: This fight has been brew wing for some
time and will probably cause quite row before
it is concluded.
The observatory has for twenty years past
given the time signals to any one who had q
wire running to the main clock The Western
Union Company is the only one that has wire
now, and II accordingly has . monopoly of the
service, but simply because they are the sole
possessors OF q wire. The same thing would be
given to any one else.
The observatory derives NO benefit whatever
from the connection with the company, and
simply follows an established custom.

nois and central and southern Michigan from

total Of killed has been made known. The in
jured are receiving every attention and no
deaths have occurred since yesterday,
although the condition of several is
extremely critical, The Knights of
Honor Yesterday made a careful canvass of
their membership in the ruined district and
are taking steps to give permanent relief. The
water supply is running very low. Every effort
is being made to complete temporary stand
pipe and it will be finished by Wednesday. But
before that time, probably by tonight. the
city will be almost entirely without water.
Strong appeals are being made for all to OBJ
serve the strictest economy In its use, but do
not seem to be effective. Enough water will
be reserved as protection against fire. The

everywhere be resumed today. The Kentucky
legislature has adjourned for three days to
allow members to visit their homes. several Of
which are in sections reported ravaged.
1t has been showing here since early last
evening and this, it is feared, has greatly dam
aged the goods in the tobacco district. much Of
which could not be protected against the in
clement weather. The heavy snow has also in-
terrupted the work of repairing, which was ac-
lively pushed all day yesterday, and has
otherwise inflicted hardships on the homeless.
The relief committees are doing all in their
power to render aid. The river already is at
such height that the injury to the pumping
station at the water works could not be repaired
and SO long as the flood continues nothing
can be done. President Long has issued another
warning to consumers and estimates that the
reservoirs now barely hold a three days sup
ply for the city. The last of the dead are being
laid away today. The largest subscription for
the relief fund was made by the Louisville and
Nashville railroad this morning. Ten thousand
dollars is the amount.
