TIE NET T4NNANY DAM.

Tho action of the Aqueduct Commissioners
Yesterday in deciding upon new dam IN inc
Croton Valley, midway between the Quaker
Bridge site and the site which had been Sll3-
ccsted 10y Chief Engineer Fteley and ms as
sistants. is not likely to call out Enthusiastic
admiration from the taxpayers or flom citizens
who have no private interest to serve III this
matter 1t is true that this compromise enables
the community to escape the more portcntouS
burden and menace OF the titanic Quaker
Fridge Dam. but the compromise dam, which
NAV he called the Cornell Dam, from the name
of the site will nevertheless be enormously
exhaustive will be a prOdigiouS undertaking.
and will be open to some at least q the OBJ
ioctions urged against the Quaker Bridge ps8j-
Get. The estimated cost Of the Quaker Bridge
Dam was S4.OS7 600. The estimated cost OF
the Fteley Dam Of we may call 1t Soj Al made
If masonry. was $3.50, 600, and if made OF
earth, S1,750,000 il is computed that the
Cornell Dam will cost So. G50.O00 only little
more than 100000 less than the Quaker
Bridge Dam. 1t was intended to make the
Quaker Bridge Dam $50 feet in height above
the river-bed The Cornell Dam will be 1o9
feet in height. The Quaker Bridge Dam was
TO 20 down 81 feet beneath the bed OF the
river The Cornell Dam will extend 30 feet
below it. The length of the Quaker Bridge
Dam was to be 400 feet. The Cornell Dam
is to be more than 800 feet longer, total OF
1.736 feet The capacity of the reservoir
formed by the Quaker Bridge Dam would be
thirtv-four billions of gallons. That formed
by the Cornell Dam will be thirty billions OF
gallons. formidable body of water, indeed
No doubt engineering skill will prove sulli-
Gent to construct dam OF the dimensions 81
the Cornell undertaking that will be strong
and secure for many years. Whether dam
of these colossal proportions will be perma-
nently safe is, perhaps, another question. The
need Of so vast reservoir as one containing
thirty billions of gallons is not clear The SIX
teen billions that would have been provided by
the Fteey Dam would provide enough water
for the requirements of this capital for many
a year 10 come. 1t seems not unlikely that the
Aqueduct Commissioners have yielded TO Tam
many pressure in this affair. Tammanys steady
purpose has been to expand and enlarge to the
utmost possible limit the dimensions of the
new reservoir in the Coton Valley. The big
ger the construction, the Bigger the chance
for Tammany to profit by patronage and plum

The debate on rapid transit in the state
Senate yesterday developed unexpected oppoSi-
ton to the modified bill upon which the com
mttce had agreed the day before. by curl
Gus reversal OF its attitude toward the elevated
roads Tammany Hall was made TO appear
through its representatives n Albany. in a con-
dition OF deep Soiicitudc a, TO the meaning and
ofTcr. of that section of the Stewart bill which
prcscribc, the conditions under which the Man
haitian Company may acquire new privileges.
Against anxiety proceeding from that source
surprising that il is sincerely felt and expressed
we have nothing 10 say. y fortnight ago we
called the attention Of Senator stewart and his
colleague, to the fac; that his original bill made
further cncroachmcHt, by the elevated rOadS
too easy. The justice OF that criticism i ac-
knowlodgc1 in the amendment which provides
that al five Of the Commi .ionclS must consent
10 additional tracks or other facilities for the
Manhattan system. whereas four are competent
To transact all other business aplcItl!nlng to
their Office.
This amendment cpcratcS in two ways il
makes difficult BON the attainment of ncw ad-
vantage, by the Manhattan Company and the
sitting of opposition enterprises. Under the
provision az one time favored by the Rcpub-
lcan leaders requiring unanimous consent to
any action. it would have been possible for
that company to control the situation complete
~ by winning couuptly or Otherwise, single
vote in the Beard. Nobody imagneS that any
member Of the existing Commission could be
persuaded bv diShonoS+ arguments TO favor this
or that plan OF interest but human judgment
is falable and moreover, il is conceivable that
a vacancy may be unwor'hly filled at some
time in the future. The Manhattan Company
would doubtless prefer 10 own the city and do
as it please, with The city streets, but next to
that it would like to possess tho power to veto
competition. il is important to guard against
both Of these alternative choices.
No doubt it i, difficult to draw the line be-
tween dangerous concessions and doadlock
If the conditions are drawn too finely nothing

An attempt was made yesterday in the vs.
sembly TO pass the bill which has already got
through the Senate permitting the sale OF liquor
at balls and similar entertainments IN this Gty
after / o'clock in the morning. But the TACT
that the Excise Reform Association desired 10
be heard on the measure induced General
Hustled to move to recommit il. The motion
prevailed. several of the Democratic members,
to their credit he it said, voting with the RepuD-
licanS 1t is understood that the ASSOCIATION
will not oppose the bill in modified form but
is apprehenSive that in its present shape 1t
might accomplish a good deal Of harm to the
cause of public morality by extending the hours
for the sale Of liquor at diSreputablc as well as
reputable gatherings. Is the action OF the
Democratic majority in the Assembly in allow
ing this bill to be delayed to be taken as an
earnest of its intention to pursue conservative
course this winter on the Excise question? 1t
is to be hoped so. but hardly to be expected.

ORE RELATIONS FIFTH HAWAII.

Assurances are given ont by the State De-
partment and by Mr.. Carter, the Hawaiian
Minister. that the intimate relations which have
been steadily maintained between the Hawaiian
Kingdom and this country since the Treaty of
1875 went into effect arc not likely TO be in
terrupted By King KalalauaS death. At the
same time it is 10 he remembered that the
principal purpose Of tho Kings visit 10 san
Francisco was 10 lay n grievance before our
Government and 10 secirc Il pledge that it
should be removed. The President had already
in his annual message recommended the very
action which His Hawaiian Majesty desired. and
which nobody denies he was entitled 10. The
Tariff Act Of 1890 was in several respects UNI
satisfactory to Hawaii. II had tho effect of
altering her trading privileges in the United
States seriously to her Disadvantages Not only
were duties levied on several of the articles
contained in the Reciprocity schedules of the
existing treaty without expressly excepting
them in her case but the door was opened for
a competition with her in our markets on the
part Of other >ugarproducinG States. IT is
easy to adjust these matters ID llawailS entire
satisfaction, if only Congress can be induced
10 attend 70 the business OF the county. No
wrong was intended against Hawaii. but 10
omit to amend an international injustice, after
it is recognized and admitted is to afford
substantial ground OF complaint.
The Treaty Of 1919, by which we provided
4 market for practically everything that Hawaii
produces upon the condition that she shall take
of rs practically everything She requires, has
brought the Kingdom into just the relation
with us which is necessary for the peace and
freedom of Pacific waters. 20 long as 90 per
cent of IIawaiis trade is held, as it now is, by
this country. it will be necessary that her for
eign relations shall he. il not actually admins

with our interests. This is even more to
IaWaiiS advantage than to ours, for it inSureS
her safety and integrity and leaves her free
to carry on local Sclf-goyernment without the
fear of such dSagreeable Interruptions as have
formerly occurred from foreign intervention.

Germany have severally acquired, that under
no circumstances will the United States permit
