THEY WANT PURE WATER.
SaCramentans Are Tired of Drinking
From the River,

SACRAMENTO. Aug. 26.-The progressive
citizens of Sacramento to-day declared by
an overwhelming majority in favor of a
clear. pure water supply from a subterra-
mean source east OF the city as against the
river water heretofore in use. The silurian
element was out in force, REINFORCED by
the saloon and brewery owners, who were
against II almost to man; also certain
foundry men who have grown fat off the
city by repairing pumps that have been
ruined by the sediment in the river water.
The vote to-day was very good one for
special election, upward of 5000 being cast
The majority for clear water was S11. The
water which it is proposed TO furnish the
city has been declared by State Analyst
Rising of the State University to be abso-
lutely pure, and the supply is to be OBJ.
tanned from a subterranean stream which
is known TO carry live trout direct from
some mountain lake. as they have been
pumped up alive in the locality where the
wells are to be sunk. The better classes
of citizens are rejoicing tonight that the
worst reprOach against Sacramento has
been removed. The victory means more
for the city than anything she has done in
forty years. The river water was origin
ally good, but of late years has been sub
lected 20 the worst kind OF pollution.

FOR A GOVERNMENT SITE.
San Diegans Working for a Military
Post.

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 26.-The sub-commit-
tee having in charge the matter of obtain
ing options on lands required by the Gov
eminent as a site for a military post is
hard at work with every prospect of sue
cess. Nine members of the committee
have been separated into committees of
three each and the work has been divided
between them. In the meantime legal
questions are being investigated, and it is
probable that by the next meeting of the
joint committee on city lands a definite
plan will be ready whereby the city may
dispose of enough of its lands to purchase
a military site and donate it to the Gov
eminent. Interest in the matter is strong.
and strong opinions are expressed as to the
necessity for uniting and working rapidly.
1t is conceded that legislative action NAV
be necessary to vest abs olute title to the
site in the Government, but it may proceed
to acquire land at once while times are
suspicious. Men who own land in the
military site are strongly in favor of imme-
date action, and promise TO dispose of
their holdings at reasonable figures, or eX-
change outright for other lands belonging

PAY LEGAL MONEY.
The New York Bankers Laugh at
Kansas.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Some little amuse-
ment was caused in Wall street by the re-
ported order of the State Bank Commits
sioner OF Kansas to the banks of that
State to draw out all their balances in New
York banks, except all amount not ex-
ceeding per cent of their deposits, until
such time as the New York banks resume
payment in legal money" A well-known
banker said 2 per cent would be very
liberal estimate of the proportion of de-
posts of the banks of Kansas kept iE the
banks in this city. THE probability is"
he said. the Kansas banks are largely in
debted to the banks of this city for loans
on which their credit balances here have
been built up. and against which they
have drawn not little cash. The talk OF
New York banks not paying out legal
money is the veriest bosh. The New York
banks never paid out anything but legal
money. The Kansas Bank Commits sioner
has proba bly, Issued his order for the pur-
pose of backing up Senators PETER and
Hill in their attacks on the national
banks"
Many members of the Clearinghouse
Committee were interviewed and all spoke
very hopefully of the situation to-day
The premium on currency was fast diSap-
pearing. and cash, they said, was being
paid out more freely to-day 10y the banks.
A wel-infOrmed banker is authority for
the statement that about 50, 800, 900 nave
been paid in on subscription to the colat-
eral trust loan Of the Northern Pacific,
leaving an unpaid balance of s., 700 900.
The question does not appear TO be settled
yet as to whether the company can fur
nish all the securities called for to be
pledged under the collateral trust loan.
