THE WATER PAIL.
1t Continues to Do Splendid Service at
Fires.

1t Continues TO Do Splendid Service at
Fires.
With all the refnements that have
been made in fire extinguishing appa-
ratus, the fact remains that the simple
pail of water is, even at this day, one
of the most efficient pieces of apparatus
of this class that has vet been in use.
Insurance statistics indeed show that
more fires are put out by water pals
than by all other appliances put to-
gether, the only point that can well be
raised against them being that, while
they are generally provided abundant
lv enough in places where they are
likely to be of service. the water IS
very apt to be wanting. 1t is true also,
in measure. that, even If the pals
were kept full. they are often borrowed
for some purpose and not returned, 50
that when most needed they are una
valuable. As way out of this difficult
", 1t has been proposed 20 use pals
with round or conical bottoms. which
viii not stand on a floor. and are not,
therefore likely TO be taken off for
some use for which they were not in
tended, but this form seriously dimin-
ishes the value of the pail as a fire ex-
tinguisher. since man with two Of
them in his hands, arriving at the scene
of action. can not use either without
setting the other on the floor and los
ing all its contents
As an Improvement on this, super
intendent in one of the large New
England mills. who had found II diff
cult to keep the fire pals full and III
good order, some time ago adopted the
following interesting expedlent. OF
which we find an account IN some

LACK COMPETENT MEN.
Only Thing That Prevents Pacific Roads
From Running Trains.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1S.-The strikers
view OF the railroad situation in northern
California was tersely given today by one
OF the strike leaders in Oakland. Under
ordinary conditions" he said. eighteen
or twenty freight trains are dispatched
from Oakland daily. During the past few
days the RAILROAD company has sent out
five freight tr4ius IL this is running the
road then we are beaten"
1t is apparently the scarcity of compe-
tent trainmen that Is troubling the rail-
road officials.
In Saera mento almost the same condi-
tions prevail One hundred and fifty
workmen were induced to 90 back to the
shops there this morning. The methods
prevailing in Oakland were adopted and
the men We're escorted to and from the
railroad shops by troop of cavalry. The
strikers made no attempt TO interfere.
Evidence was afforded today. however,
that the railroad company has still to
guard against violence and treachery. A
track walker this morning discovered that
the fishplates had been removed from over
one hundred yards of track. Strikers
were seen in the vicinity last night Ii is
believed to have beeu an attempt to wreck
the San Francisco local train which left
Sacramento at q O'Clock this morning. IL
is also reported that
VIOLENCE IS FEARED
at Truckee where the strikers are in an
ugly mood. Fearing trouble there, Col
onel Graham today dispatched the First
Infantry under command of Colonel Sui
livan, ordering him TO cooperate with
other troops OF the state militia now at
Truckee in preserving peace The troops
left Sacramento on the eaSt-bound Over
land.
The preliminary examination of Knox
and Worden, the strikers VINO are accused
OF murder In having wrecked Il train and
caused the disaster west of Sacramento a
week ago, began at Woodland this after
noon. This afforded the strikers another
opportunity to cripple the Southern PI-
citic.. The strikers attorneys summoned
rs witnesses two switchmen who were the
only men remaining in the Sacramento
yards. Their going compelled the COM
pany to abandon several trains out of
Sacramento.
STRIKERS OFFER DECLINED.
United States Marshal Baldwin today
sent the following reply to the strike
leaders who offered yesterday to furnish a
force OF 2, $40 deputy marshals to preserve
order along the Southern Pacific lines:

WASHINGTON, July lS.-The Indian ap
preparation bill was the salient feature OF
The days proceedings in the senate today.
The paragraph appropriating 81, 095, 600 for
educating the Indians provoked criticism
from Mr. PIatt, of Connecticut against
the policy OF giving land to Indian con-
tract denominational schools. He favored
the adjustment of all sectar.an schools
aud the establishment OF public schools II
their stead.
Mr.. Call said the various charitable or
CARNATIONS had established themselves on
the Iudian reservations, and the govern
ment had made contracts with them to
sa We the expense of erecting schools with
out considering whether they were Epis-
copaian or Methodist, Congregational or
Catholic.
Mr.. Gallinger (Rep. y. H, protested
against government aid To sectariau
schools especially when one church re
ceived so much more than the others.
There was already a gathering storm in
this country against appTOpTlating money
for sectarian purposes and that storm
would break before long on the people
and the congress OF the United States.
The committee amendment was agreed

preparation bill was presented and agreed

Squire (Rep.,) of Washington. authorizing
the PuyalIup Indians holding lands in sew
crafty on the reservation near Tacoma,
Wash, to sell sufficient portions of their
lands to raise enough money to improve
the remainder.
The house joint resolution was passed
authorizing the secretary of state to ac-
cept from q. f. Watts, r. A, painting
entitled Love and Life" exhibited by
him at the worlds fair.
Mr.. Carey called up the senate bill to re-
serve for ten years in each or several
states ZOO, 600 acres of arid lands to be
