BOND ISSUE FOR SEWERS.
Recommendation Of the Board Of Trade
Committee for System of High.
leYel Interceptors


Level Interceptors.
In a report on the present system of sewer
age in Washington the committee on sewer
age of the board OF trade shows the necessity
for a radical and comprehensive change and
recommends the advisability Of giving the
local government authority to issue bonds in
a sum sufficient to allow the completion OF a
number of high-level interceptors for rainfall
at different points along the river front.
The committee finds that the sewage mixed
with storm water is emptied through trunk
lines of conduits, often too small for this
double service. into water closely surround
ing the city on three sides. There 1t Is moved
to and fro along the shores by the tides until
it is either destroyed by oxidation or carried
down the river by the current. From these
facts the committee is convinced that the
present system is inadequate and that it is
rapidly converting the whole water front OF
the Potomac river into IN open sewer that
will soon be as offensive as the James creek
canal. In the opinion of the committee this
condition is largely responsible for the in
creased death rate In the vicinity of the water
front. The vital statistics OF the District show
that where one person dies OF malarial fever
in the best sanitary section of the city twenty
seven die in the district bordering on the
James creek canal and forty-three in the dis
trict just below the mouth OF Rock creek.
The committee thinks the present system is
due to makeshift policy of small appropria-
tions.
The remedy for this condition OF affairs is
found in an act OF Congress approved March
2, 1889. which authorized the President 70 ap-
point three competent sanitary engineers 10
examine and report upon the sewage system.
and to make such suggestions and recon-
mendations as may seem necessary for its
modification and extension. Such a board
was appointed. and after thorough examin-
alton Of the sewerage system reported. in
June. 1890 four methods The first OF these
involved an expense of 80. 59S, ,003. 20. and was
recommended for adoption, An appropria-
ton Of $50 900 was made and the work begun.
A high level nterceptor for rainfall has been
constructed at Easily Point but will be of no
actual benefi; until the entire system is in sue
cessful operation.
With such plan in operation the city. will
be relieved from the very serious danger aris-
ing from the pollution of our water front.
Rock creek may be converted into pictur-
esque feature OF the city landscape. and
James creek canal will become valuable
wharfage frontage
The committee recommends that the board
OF trade urge upon Congress the advisability
OF giving the District government authority
to issue the bonds.

AN UNHOLY ALLIANCE.
Now the Republican Committee is
Trying to WriGgle Out Of Its A.
"A. .COnnectiOns-The Proof
Conclusive.

Washington, Oct. 25.-In their anxiety
to profit politically by exciting prejudice
against Roman Catholics in those dis
tricts of the country where prejudice
has been aroused, the Republicans have
covertly promoted the cause of the Amer
ican Protective association. When it has
been found convenient, in consequence
of wholesome repugnance to the einarrow
bigotry of the issue, to repudiate know
ledge of and interest in the A. p. A. cause,
the Republicans have not hesitated to
"cut" the concern. 1t has been found
that this employment of the American
Protective association has been the use
of political double-edged sword. It has
cut both ways, but the Republicans have
about concluded that it
CUTS LITTLE DEEPER
one way than it does the other, and that
the deepest cut is on the Republican side.
So the effort has been increased to prove
that the A. P. A. shop in Washington, run
really as bureau of the Republican con-
gressional com.nittee, ls an Independent
and selsieiiant enterprise.
An eleventh-hour denial which is
really confession of guilt can not in
spira confidence. That is the denial
which Chairman Babcock, of the Repub-
lican congressional committee, put forth
to-day with the idea of disslpating the
evidence ef the committees connection
with the American Protective association.
In the last three weeks the connection has
been commented on freely, and chain of
evidence woven which leaves
NO ROOM FOR DOUBT
that the officers of the committee have
been devoting much of their time and the
campaign fund at their disposal to the
work Of spreading A. P. A. literature in
all of the states of the Union. Mr.. Bah
cock until to-day sat silent under these
accusations. He now has authorized the
statement that he has just come into pos
session of a pamphlet charging the Re-
publican committee with circulating A.
PA. documents and with being in SYM
pathy with that organization.
The gist of Mr.. Babcock's "denia" is
that a year, ago he gave instructions to
the secretaries of the committee
"To AVOID ALL APPEARANCE
of connection with the A. A." Mr..
Babcock probably tells the truth in the
paragraph just quoted. The secretaries
undoubtedly received just such instruc-
tions, but in their zeal to forward the
aims of the A. P. A. they have been un-
able to "avold all appearance of connec-
tion,' and have, on the contrary, made it
apparent to the world that the committee
is very anxious to avail itself of the SER
vices Of this un-American organization
and is now sending its literature to all
sections Of the country with the idea OF
gaining Republican votes.
The undoubted connection of Repub-
licanism and A. P. A.-ism will, notwith-
standing Chairman Babcock's half
hearted denial, cost the G. O. P. many
thousand votes next month.

Las Vegas, Oct. 25.-The Democrats,
Republicans and Independents met in
separate county conventions this morn
ing. The Populists met al 2p. m. +.
A. Manzanares is chairman of the Demo-
cratic meeting; Miguel Salazar presides
over the Republican gathering and A. c.
Abeytia wields the gavel over the Inde-
pendents.
Little has been done thus far aside
from the appointment of the usual com
mttees.
None of the conventions arc as large
as expected.
Conference committees we're ap pointed
by each of the three conventions and one
will be appointed by the Populists.
A committee has also been appointed
to wait on Delegate Joseph upon his
arrival here this afternoon and invite him
to address the Democratic convention.
The Union party holds its convention
tomorrow. The prospects are now that
all four will keep open house up to Sun
day. The great problem is how to divide
the offices to make them go all the way
round and give each party satisfac-
tory presentation. If this is not done
the proposed fusion scheme may prove
fizzle.

Running on Full Time.

Baltimore, Oct. 25.-President Charles
Estes, of the great cotton mills at Au-
gusta, Gu, the leading manufacturing
town of the southeast, says in an inter
view to-day:
I'VE have run every spindle and loom
for several years on full time, and in
creased our looms both last year and the
year before. We have now as many as
we have power for. We have been well
sold up for the last two years, and are
sold largely ahead. Doubtless the final
settlement of the tariff question has in
spired people with more confidence, as
there is certain class of people who,
Micawber-like, are always waiting for
something to turn up to see how mat
ters are going to work. We have never
bothered ourselves about that in the least,
but have gone right ahead and done a
good business all the while, and hope to
do 80 for some time to come"

A CALL FOR CHRISTY.
One of the Republican Nominees in
Hot Water in Sierra County.

Two cases of embezzlement against A.
L. Christy in Sierra county have been
continued till the next term. The charges
are of embezzlement of moneys while
holding the Office of district clerk.
Christy was given till this term of court
to pay the amount embezzled and the
costs in the cases. He admits the truth
of the charges, but has failed to comply
with the order of the court. He has been
treated, says the Silver City Sentinel,
with remarkable leniency in this matter
the whole way through, even being per-
mitted to continue to practice while
under criminal Indictment. 1t Is we'll to
mention that this man is the same A. l..
Christy WHO is running on the Republi-
can ticket as representative from the
joint district of Grant and Dona Ana
counties against Mr.. r. l.. Young.

Dundee, Oct. 25.--At the beginning of
August the whalers, Aurora, Baaena and
Esquimaux, were in Prince Regents in
let searching for white whales. They
steamed into Elvin bay and party from
the Balaena went ashore. They had not
gone far when they came upon a CHASTITY
ring of corpses, the remains of Esqui-
mau1, who had evidently died of starva
tion. The clean picked human remains
PARTLY DKyoURED BODIES
revealed a story of cannibalism. One
corpse had been beheaded and the head
was found thirty yards away from the
trunk at place where some one had
evidently made meal upon the flesh and
brains. 1t is supposed that the party.
while travelling, found their progress
choked by the setting in of winter. One
by one they succumbed to the pangs of
hunger and finally the stronger, in futile
attempts to save their own lives we're
driven to eat the others.

TO LAND OR NOT TO LAND.
That is the Question Which Is Agita-
ting the Japanese Mind-COn-
fictfng Reports.

Yokohama, Oct. 25.-It is reasserted
that the army corps under Field Marshal
Count Oyama, formerly minister of war,
has effected landing at Seikosso, near
Port Arthur. 1t is also again asserted
that the Japanese army under Field
Marshal Yamagata has successfully
crossed the Yalu river and entered Man
churia. 1t was announced on September
26 that Field Marshal Count Oyama had
sailed from Hirosima with the second
Japanese squadron. Since then 1T has
been repeatedly asserted that the Japan
ese had effected landing near Port
Arthur, and it has been stated that the
report was current that this important
place had been captured by the Japanese.
On the other hand the Japanese have
several times been reported a. having
CROSSED THE YALu
river and as having been repulsed. For
instance, on October 8 Shanghai dis
patch stated that Field Marshal Oyama
had crossed the Yalu river and the last
time he was reported to have been re-
pulsed was October %, when It il ASSERT
cd that both sides lost 5000 men in the
engagement which resulted in the jap
anese being driven southwark. If the
Japanese have been 80 uniformly success
full in their operations against Chinese
it is
DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND
how they have so many soldiers wounded
and already sent to the rear. A dispatch
from Chemulpo dated October % an
nounced that 1900 wounded Japanese had
arrived there and asserted that there was
large number of wounded Japanese at
Seoul, and also stated that 2,100 wounded
Japanese soldiers had already been sent
back to that country. Supposing the
large number to mean another 1000
wounded, this would show the where
abouts of about 5000. The wounded are
already known at Chemulpo, and it is
safe to assume that this number does not
include those engaged in the recent fights
said to have occurred about the Yalu
river.
THEY THINK THE REPORT TRUE.
Lendon.-Inqu uiries at the Japanese
legation in this city show no news con-
firmatory Of the reported landing of the
Japanese army under Field Marshal
Court Oyama, near Port Arthur, but the
Japanese officials fully credit the report,
adding that it seems cer@Shn that Oyamas
expedition was dispatched for the pur-
pose of attacking Port Arthur or Wei
hai-Wei or both.
SAID TO HAVE LANDED.
Shanghsi.-It is reported here that the
Chinese have evacuated Port Arthur and
that the Japanese have effected landing
at Talien Wan bay on the Corean side of
the Kwang Tung peninsula, not far from
Port Arthur.
