WATER SHORTAGE.
Breaking Down of ump With

The Shortage Will Cause a Scare
ity in the Outside Parts
of the City.

CHICAGO. Oct. 14.-One of the large
double-beam pumps at the Chicago ave-
nue. waterwOrks was disabled today. In
consequence the city will be deprived
of a daily water supply of Sc, 200, 900
gallons until repairs can be done. A
heavy casting must be replaced. and
thirty days will be require for it's con-
struction. City officers in charge of the
water department. profess not to fear a
famine. They admit. however, that the
limited supply will cause a scarcity in
outside parts of the city. All available
pumps have been started to their full
capacity, but they are not able to make
good the deficit.
In the meantime three pumps. with
an individual capacity of 100000 gal
Ions daily, are lying in idlenesS at the
Fourteenth street pump WORKS behind
brick and Portland cement bulkheads
that were built to shut off access to the
four-mlle tunnel. Oct. Is was fixed as
the latest date on which the four-mile
tunnel would be opened and the city
given the benefit of pure water and
additional pressure from the new
pumps. The promise will not he made
good. Several days work on the bulk
heads remain, and the tunnel is not yet
cleaned. The occurrence is regarded as
particularly unfortunate. coming, as it
does, just prior to the worlds fair dedi-
cation ceremonies. and every effort will
be made TO repair the damage as quickly
as possible

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Postmaster
following order:
Whereas it appears from correspond
ence received at this department that
some postmaSterS disregard the long
standing custom not to furnish to in
quirers the names and addresses of per-
sons who mail through their respective
offices. 1t is hereby ordered:
THAT pOstmasters and other postal
officials and employees are strictly pro-
hibited from making public names and
addresses or private information OBJ
tanned by them in the discharge of their
othcial duties. The agents OF the post
office department are furnished with
the names and addresses upon the let
tiers and other articles of mail matter
for the sole purpose of enabling them
to make delivery thereof to the persons
intended. Such names and addresses
are to he regarded as confidential, and
this confidence must be respected.
advertisers and others have not the
right TO expect that their plans for can
vaSSing shall be aided by the informa-
ton to be obtained through knowledge
gained by postmasterS in the discharge
or their official obligations, and it is no
part OF the business of the officials of
the postotfice department to furnish
such names or addresses for pay or
favor. This order is necessary because
of the evils brought about by the in
fraction Or non-obseryance of this prin-
ciple by postmaSters, who have. unwit.
tingly, assisted to encourage fraudulent
schemes. such as green goods" and
others which rely on the credulity of
persons whose names and addresses
have been obtained, probably, without
disclosing their object"

Good Increase Shown in Both
Gross and Net Earn

One Great Source Of Expense
Will Probably Soon Be
Lessened.
Competitors Of the Milwaukee
Granted Relief by Chair
man Caldwell.

The official report of the Chicago, st.
Paul q Kansas City Railroad company
for the fiscal year ending June 60, 1892,
was issued yesterday. During the year
there have been in operation about 922
miles of road, leased and owned, an in
crease of 4.01 per cent over the preced-
ing year. The gross earnings of the
company from all sources were S5,024,
40. an increase of S663,SS9 Operating
expenses am ounted to So. 664 SIT, against
s3,2S5.340 for 1891. an increase of s379,-
337. The net earnings were sl.360,0 63,
against Sl,075,511 for the preceding
twelve months, all increase of S2S4, 552.
The cost of the road, including ter
minals and all equipment, amounts to
SAT. GAG, 456, aud with accounts receiv-
able, funded interest, ETC., this sum is
swelled 10 SOL, l24. 246. representing the
entire assets of the company.
The report shows an increase of 1896
tons in the amount of grain hauled, and
an increase IN nearly all the commodi-
ties. During the year the number of
passengers carried was 1,164, 762, and the
number of tons Of freight hauled was
1,537,S6l The construction and I'M
provement expenditures amounted to
1888, al. One great source Of expense
has been the leasing of terminals. and
this will probably be lessened in the
near future. as the policy of the Chicago
Great Western, the lessee of the system,
is to secure its own terminal facilities.

New YORK, Oct 14-R. G. Dun Il Co., in
their weekly review of trade, says:
once more it must be said that the trade in
dications are entirely favorable. Even the
shrink'ge in exports has ceased. an increase
of SIS 1000 appearing here last week. while
imports continue surprisingly large, and
foreign exchange declines.
Chicago again reports enormous increase
In receipts those OF wheat. oats and barley
having doubled, while receipts of corn are
about fifteen times that of last year; in wool
gain OF 40 per cent is reported; in cattle
ana hogs % per cent, and some il
crease in flour, dressed beef. butter and
cheese. Business was never more prosper
Gus, and Eastern shipments of merchandise
are OF enormous magnitude. Trade is re-
merkably strong at ST. Louis the corn crop
proving larger than was anticipated. Bust
ness is larger than last year at Kansas CITY,
and very good at Denver. At Minneapolis
nearly all branches show increases over last
year, and the output Of iiour-23 ',0Oe bbls-is

an increased movement in crops is seen. at
Omaha trade is very busy.
Wheat is lsc stronger Than week ago, but
corn lie lower. oats i12c, hogs &c and lard
l5c per 100 lbs; cotton lsc lower, with sales of
more than l. 100000 bales for the week, and
OIL Ac lower. Improved crop reports and
heavy movement of products push prices
downward. The iron output Oct was 49,

creased 1924 tons during September.
The demand for pig iron is improving and
general advance of about SIC per ton
is reported with liberal buying, while trade
IN plates is very unsatisfactory. IN bar iron
prices are somewhat better and structural
mills are full of orders. Livelier buying con-
hnues in copper at ll5sc and speculation

settled at &c.

ME RRITT'S REPORT.
Lyceums at Posts in the Dep art
ment of Dakota Productive
of Good Results.
Northern Cheyennes Disseminated
Because of an Overcrowded
Reservation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE report
of Gen. Wesley Merritt, commanding
the department of Dakota for the year
ended June 80, has been submitted to
the secretary of war. Gen. Merritt
speaks in high terms of the lyceuns at
his posts of command, and says they
have been of great advantage to Off
GERS. He has consulted many officers
about them. and says the opinion of all
is that they are productive of good re-
suits.
The Indians of the department are
contented except the Northern Chey-
ennes of the Tongue River agency.
These Indians, he says, are crowded
upon reservation too small for them,
especially since their numbers have
been increased by the accession of 80
brought from the Sioux reservation. and
the lll-feellng is aggravated by the en-
croachmentS of white men who have
settled on the reservation. @5ENs
Gen. Merritt says in view of the dam
ger OF an invasion of the country by an
epidemic of cholera it is considered
proper to call attention to the fact that
the history of the introduction into the
army of the scOurge in the past years
shows it to have come with recruits
from stations in the more denSely pop
ulated districts. This fact is pregnant.
he says, with a suggestion as to how its
presence at our frontier stations may be
prevented.

CONVENTION RATES.
Considering a Simple Method of
Granting Them.

CHICAGO, Oct. IA committee of
the Western Passenger association has
been in session today preparing re-
port to be submitted to the November
meeting in regard to granting reduced
rates Oh the certificate plan. Under the
present system no application for re-
duced rates for conventions or other
large gatherings can be granted until 1t
is submitted to vote of all the roads in
the association. 1t is proposed to adopt
a more simple method by laying down
the general rule that any meeting for
which 100 or more passengers are guar
anteed is entitled to excursion rates,
and that the chairman may act upon
such applications W thout calling for
vote Of the members. Under such
rule all parties entitled to reduced rates
would get them, and would not be sub
ject to refusal on account of the mega
tive vote of some road having no inter-
est in the matter.

COTTON MANUFACTURE
Remarkable Increase in the South
During the Decade.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE census
bureau today issued preliminary re-
port on the manufactury Of cotton in the
United States for the census year 1890.
The growth of the industry, the report
says. has been constant and greatly eX-
tended III the South. where an addition
is shown in the number of mills estab-
lished and successfully operated. The
consumption of raw cotton in the South
ern states in 1890 exceeded that of 1850
by 166.30S.SS9 pounds, while In New
England, the chief seat of the manu-
iacture, the excess of consumption Of
1890 over that of 1850 was only 1851,
SS4 pounds. The Importance OF the
manufacture of cotton is one of the
striking facts developed. Substantially
the whole supply OF spool thread is now
both spun and finished in the Uuited
States.
