THE CRoTON WATER IN GOOD CONDITION.

NOT ENOUGH NITRITES IN 1T TO JUSTIFY FEAR
PRECAUTIONS At THE WATERSHED.
Commissioner Giiroy, OF the Department Of Public
Works, yesterday, in reply TO questions about the
condition Of the Croon water caused by the recently
published reports OF the discovery OF ntrltes In The
cltys water tanks said that there was no reason for
ALARM The large consumption, he added, which made
great drafts upon the upper reservoirs. caused the
water to present a muddy appearance at times. but
otherwise the water In good condition. The
Commissioner continued
There is absolutely no occasion for alarm over
the condition OF the water supply and IT Is criminal
for any one at this time TO start alarm about it,
Nrites In very slight percentage are frequently found
In the analysis OF water and do not think there
Is the slightest danger when the percentage Is D.
100000 If the percentage 100000 there might
be- ground for apprehension In many OF the reports OF
chemists in the summer nitrteS have been recorded
Water from a hydrant today might show traces OF
nrrites and water taken from the same hydrant an
hour later might show none.
We are taking extraordinary precautions In TINS

Farrington,s Saginaw Deposit.

3 SAGINAW, Mich.s May 3I.-On Satur-
day $4,000 in gold and silver was found
in the cellar of a house in Midland that
was once occupied by Hank harrington.
1t is supposed the money was concealed
by him in 1870. Harrington was a Jew
eler in Saginaw and neighboring towns
tor many years, and was suspected of
being connected with gang of counter
feiters. In October, 1874, man named
Stewart, living in Ausable, Mich, was
murdered and robbed of several hundred
dollars. Harrington was convicted OF
the crime and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for life. After serving some years
he was pardoned and went back to Au-
sa Bile, where an old Indictment against
him was revived. Being warned he en-
barked in small boat with the inten-
ton of escaping to Canada, but the boat
was capsized in a storm and harrington
was drowned. His son, a printer employed
in a Saginaw newspaper Office, will take
steps to recover the buried treasure.

old Fort sutter Gold.

SACRAMENTO, May 31.-The sealed
metal receptacle found on the site of old
Fort Sutter last week by the contractor
who is building memorial hall there
for the native sons of the golden west,
who now own the site, contained over
$40, 200 worth of gold dust. This find
may make a difference in the plans of
the hall to be erected. Other deposits
of like character are supposed to be bur-
led in the vicinity. 1t has always been
believed that there are considerable
sums in dust hidden around the old fort
by miners who came down from the
mountains in early days and who died
or were killed before recovering it.
Notably in this supposed to be the case
during the cholera plague of the early
fifties, when scores died suddenly in and
around this historical spot.

PORTLAND, May 3l.-Now that the

city rests upon the exposition, more or

omitted that people may be given rest,
and time to prepare the more efectually

equal to the cruisers will be the model
of the battle ship Oregon, which Supt.

THE ANTI-HARRIsoN COHORTS
A Feeling Which Leads to Search for
the True Inward Motive.
A AnrsAoEroerKAcE IN THE PARTY.


CHICAGO, May 31.-Unfortunate for
it, the Blaine movement is not regarded
as being exactly what it pretends to be.
There is suspicion that back of it.,
masquerading in the glittering armor of
the ''plumed knight is something uni
knightly-base. 1t is doubtful whether
the men who are now turning their faces
toward Minneapolis, keeping step to
Blaine, Blaine, James G. Blaine. are sim
cere in their declaration that Mr. Blaine
will be nominated that if nominated he
would accept, or if he accepted he would
be able physically to stand the labor and
harrassments of presidential contest.
This feeling leads to search for other
motives than the Blaine motive in the
fight against President Harrison. 1t is
perfectly clear that the Blaine cry has
been raised merely to muster a following
that can be directed against Harrison. /.
The magic name of the magnetic states
man can be relied on to bring forth both
numbers and enthusiasm. It is not i'm
probable that the opponents of Mr.. Har-
rison have in view the possibility OF
forcing the president out of the fight.
They may push Blaine up to the point
where roll-call is the next thing in or
der. They may menace the peace of the
party and the good order of the conyen-
ton, and all for the purpose of nomina-
ting, not Mr.. Blaine, but some one who
will subserve their individual ends and
ambitions. 1t is necessary to keep in
mind that this is an anti Harrison fight
not Blaine fight.
The men and the delegates who favor
the presidents denomination are not
violently enthusiastic for him. Some oil
the three hundred delegates who are in
structed for him are bound only by thei,
instructions. 1t is so with some of the
Illinois delegates. They are a degree
worse than lukewarm. The hackers Of
the president know this, and they realize
thatit is menacing danger. Growing
up out of the Blaine movement is there
| fore a possibility that by threatening
Harrison with an undignified defeat the
Blaine demonstration may drive him
from the field upon the promise that Mr.
Blaine, too. will withdraw. That this
desperate hope finds Judgement in the
bosoms of the Ciarkson crowd is apparent
Beyond that point it would be difficul
| to cast horoscope. Yet the oyerwean
ing ambition of Alger is no small factor
| in this general uproar.

WHY OUR NAVY NEED NOT BELAReE
The Most Formidable Army the World
Has Ever seen---Our Recruiting
Stations.

CHICAGO, May 31.-Of the many
memorial addresses delivered in the
United States yesterday, none could
have been more patriotic than that of
ex-President Rutherford B. Hayes at
Columbus. Among other things he
said "The astounding progress of
America during the war, and by reason
of it during the last 27 years, has carried
us forward and upward until we have
reached rank among nations SO COM
manding that we ourselves can hardly
realize either the privileges that are
ours, or the gesponsi bilities and the
duties which those privileges impose
upon us. 1t is our privilege to be with
out extensive and costly Notifications,
because we do not need them. We have
only a small navy because with our re-
sources we are able, if need come, to
subsidize the ships of almost all the
other nations except those of the power
with which we are at war. We have to-
day the largest, cheapest, safest, most
efficient and formidable army this world
has ever seen. 1t consists of more than
merely self-sustaining but who are en-
gagged in the peaceful industry of civil
life, constantly adding to our wealth
and power. 70 keep this army up to its
maximum strength, we have more than
quarter of million schoolhouses under
the old flag, every one of which is at
once fortress and recruiting station
for tffesArpy of this republic" He
added: ''This >nation should be the
peacemaker of the world. We could,
better afford to suffer wrong, especially
when dealing with the weaker nations.
America should engage in no war not
absolutely forced on her, but once in it
should cease only with the annihilation
of the power that caused it, go that there
never could be a repetition of the con-
f1ict with that nation.
