rnEY MAZE 4 W4TeR FAMINE.
Those Who Waste the Precious Fluid
Will BE Fined Five Dollars.

PHILADELPHIA, July 30.-The waste of
water continues to be so alarming that the
city officials have decided that anyone
caught wasting water will lie fined SIS.
The water i'll the reservoirs of the city is
still at low tide, with no sign of rising and
yet, happily, with 10 sign either of lower
ebb. The pumps are just holding their
own. The enormous quantity of water
forced by them on Thursday, Ill, 1853 600
gallons. was eagerly absorbed by the
parched city. The reservoirs are therefore
still holding but little more than one days
supply to tide over any emergency
The citizens are evidently not practicing
the urgently enjoined economy. II have
no doubt that the water is being recklessly
wasted as usual" declared Director Wind
rim yesterday.
The largest quantity pumped any day of
last year did not exceed 1873, Al. 163 gallons,
and yet i'll the face of the threatening
water famine, the community is using
very little less than that enormous amount.
RAIN BADLY NEEDED.
A stop was promptly put to the watering
OF the drives and the playing of the
fountain in the East Park and in the city
squares. If the anXiously expected rain
raises the river high enough, the turbine
wheels there can begin to throw 80, 300 600
extra gallons into the reservoir, That will
be the only thing to be gained directly by
heavy rainstorm. A great gain will, how
ever, undoubtedly accrue in the fact that
less flushing of cutters and sprinkling of
lawns will then be INDUCED in

Excessive Customs Extortions Cnusc III.
People to Rebel--Soldiers Guard the
Customs Houses.
VICTORIA, i. G., July 30.-The Cana
dian Pacific Company's steamship
Empress of India brings news of d
serious Instruction in Fatscin, China,
caused by the eXtortion of the Chinese
customs officers.
1t seems that customs officials have
recently been imposing fresh additions
upon the people until their capacity has
been exhausted and a general anti.
custom war was declared. Many large
commercial houses suspended business
and the streets were crowded with ex-
cited people, vowing vengeance upon
the customs officials.
No boats with cargoes were allowed
to land. Soldiers guard the custom
houses and had several encounters with
the people. On June 2Sth several peo-
pie were killed and hundreds wounded,
Fearing that there would be q gen.
eral looting Of the town, Consul-general
Waters, representing the British GOV
erhment, sent to Hong Kong for assist
ance and the gunboat Tweed was sentup.

MIR. Cleveland Writes About the Good
Influence They May Have.

PATERSON, N. j., July 3o.-Mr.
Cleveland, in response to a letter APP
prising him of the organization OF a
Democratic campaign club in Acquack-
anonk township, Passaic county, Of
which James Clancy is president, wrote
to that gentleman as follows:
GRAY GABLES, BUzzARp's BAY. Mass.
July %, lSy2--JdlaeS Clanry Esq, DEAR
SIR-l was very glad TO receive your letter
Of July 10th. ! believe the success of the
pending campaign depends largely upon
the efforts of such clubs us that which has
been started AT your home. There is some
times lack Of effect in such organiza-
ton, rising out of failure to make
them working clubs. Their purpose
should be not merely 10 bring about
the association of those already
well-grounded in the Democratic faith.
but to draw IN new converts and to
TX those who are wagering III their poll
tics. Every member Of such club
should, think, consider himself u COM
mittee of one to bring within the influence
OF the club persons whose votes could not
not otherwise be secured to the Democratic
cause. ! fully believe, however, that this
new club established in passaic county
will properly consider these questions and
will not be wanting in any branch Of
effort. Very truly yours,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
