THE WASHINGTON AOUEDUCT.
Col. ElliOt's Report of the Operations Durin
the Month of April

Col ElliOt's Report of the Operations During
the Month of April.
Lieut. Col G. H. Elliot has made a report to
Gen. Casey the chief of engineers, of operations
on the Washington aqueduct during the month
of April. The grounds around the gatehouse and
ali the other United States lands at the Great
Falls were cleaned up and put in good condi-
ton.
An estimate OF $4,000 is made for re-
moving the thirty years; accumulation Of de-
posts in the conduit, estimated at 800 cubic
yards. The deposits in tunnel No. and the
9-inch big conduit at the Dalecarlia reservoir
have been pretty we'll cleaned out in the last two
years by the means Of the small general
appropriations for repairs. but as
this appropriation is barely sufficient
for the most urgent work required for
trolling the supply Of water to the city. and
the maintenance Of the aqueduct s, stem, in
Guiding the conduit, the reservoirs and the
twenty -one miles of forty eight inch and other
mains in the city, these appropriations cannot
be relied on. Col. Elliot says,to complete the ex-
pensive work of removing the deposits by hand
and all he can expect to do until an appropria-
ton shall be granted is by means Of flushing to
prevent further accumulation. This will
be done IS often a supply Of water can be
spared to be wasted for the purpose.

The extensive repair Of the Conduit road by
renewing the macadam pavement over the
conduit between culvert No. "a and the Della
carlia reservoir was completed rs far as the
available appropriation would permit
When the blow-offs on the mains in
the city were opened thew were al
lowed to run much longer time
than usual on account Of the presence Of fish
and cells in the mains.
During the month Of May it is proposed to
make some minor repairs to the Conduit road,
to do the annual whitewashirg OF
buildings, valve chambers and fences around
the reservoirs and along the Conduit road;
to build boat house at the
Delacaria reservoir: to make the
extensive surveys required for the improve
ment of that reservoir and also to put up a
temporary building at the reservoir for the use

NO EXPULSION UkASE ISSUED.
False Report Regarding the Russian Gov
eminent and Polish Hebrews.

LONDON. May 10.-Correspondents at Lem
berg, the capital Of Austrian Poland. and at
Cracow another leading city OF Austrian Pc
land. were requested by telegraph to ascertain
whether there was any foundation for the re-
port that decree had been issued by the Rus
sian government expelling the Hebrews from
Poland.
These correspondents telegraph that any
ukase expeiliug Hebrews from Poland Is abso-
lutely unknown to and has no. been heard Of
by Poles now in Lemberg and Cracow. who
have Just arrived from Warsaw, the capital Of
Russian Poland.
As the Austrian authorities presumably
would be willing to spread any news of the
kind prejudicial to the Russian government
the correspondents in the cities named
were no doubt permitted to send the
facts exactly as within their knowledge.
The jewish authorities in London who keep
thoroughly informed as to the condition Of
their ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in Russia, also declare
that no information has reached them in regard
10 any newly revealed decree affecting the
Polish Hebrews.

Ratio Rose Did It.

When the returns are all in from
Tuesdays election it will be seen that
the Republican vote is rather below
what it was last year, but is a good vote
for an off year, while the Democratic
vote has fallen far below the minimum
vote even in an off year.
Exactly the same thing has happened
now which happened when the people
protested against Harrison.
They do not change parties readily,
but they will not be driven by any
would-be leader or bossed by any Ad-
ministration machine.
The Democrats rem aimed away from
the polls Tuesday by the ten thousand.
Next year they will stay away by the
hundred thousand, unless the Wall
street policy is abandoned.
The unvoted vote can wreck any ad-
ministration machine however power
full. When President Cleveland sent
his special message to Congress, the
Chronicle predicted that the unvoted
vote OF the Democratic party would
drive him out of politics in disgrace at
the end of his term.
We repeat that prediction now. The
Chronicle is the special organ of Col
onel Ratio Rose, the man who knows
more about November fishing than any
other man in the Democratic party.
He is the only Democratic leader who
is greater than Wall street, and great
er than a dozen Grover Clevelands.
When the Chronicle made predictions
after consulting him, it spoke by the
card.-St. Louis Chronicle.
