The Now York missionaries to Washington
got back few minutes after II o'clock last
night on a special train and got the news here
that their mission had failed A ferryboat was
in waiting for them. and on the way across the
river the delegates gave SUN reporter an &C.
count OF the awful storm which struck WASH
inGton in the afternoon. One Of them said:
THE committee was in session in the ban

and during the forenoon. but Just then it

blanket over the horses. and remained stand

to grow dark and big shadow fell over every

matter. except Mr.. Canna-he kept on speak
ing all the while.
Tho sky grew backer and blacker. and the
horses Of the carriage on tho other side Of the
street began to pranco about and sniff the dir.
The driver mounted the seat. took the reins.
and tried to quiet them. Soon the clouds
were so black and so thick that it

Just then a runaway flew by the window It
looked like buggy. There was no one in it

OUR WATER SCARE PROBABLY OYER.
Yesterday's Rain May Pull Us Through
Absurd Charges Refuted..

Commissioner Gilroy said yesterday that the
stringent rules and regulations governing the
use of water. which have been in effect ever
since we were threatened with a water famine.
are still on. They will be kept in operation.
too. until all danger is averted and there is no
opportunity Of running short OF water again.
The Commissioner thought that yesterdays
rain would help greatly. He will begin to
hear from the watershed to-day. The lg-
ures are expected to take jump.
A morning newspaper published last Satur-
day two-column article alleging that the OFF,
GERS Of the Department OF Public Works had
wasted %. 900 100000 gallons OF water since
June13; that the reservoir gates were left open.

ed to the consumers throughout the cityt Let such
sertions be specified by dates and places and VIII
them witt evidence which shall satisfy the
biased and skeptica Notwithstanding the imputation
ton that evidence the matter could only be had
from employees OF this department
In conclusion Commissioner Gilroy says that
the Croton watershed Of 1913 square miles will
supply annually. with an average rainfall OF
4S inches. 2SS billion gallons Of water. Of
which 40 per cent. or 115 billion gallons. is
available for our water sunply-enough, to last
115 weeks without any additional supply from
the natural flow Of the river. No additional
watershed will be required for half a century.
What we do need is storage reservoirs. What
water We cannot yet store. and that only. runs
to waste.
