Although fully satisfied that the United
States would from first to last maintain

abate a single effort to secure from this
Government the use OF aus good offices

within bounds to say that for the past
ten days DR.. Guzman has literally haunt

all the arguments which the gravity OF
the case would suggest to secure the best
terms possible for his country.

missioners:-
Gentlemen-The Board of Street and
Water Commissioners. after a careful
consideration of the question of new
water supply for Jersey City. do report
by the Committee of the Whole. as fol-
lows
That 1t commenced in December, 1894,
to prepare four distinct specifications for
a new water supply, as follows:-
For a gravity supply at High Service.
For a gravity supply at Belleville.
For a pumping supply delivered at
Belleville, and
For filtering or purifying treatment
of the present supply.
After much study and thought, these
specifications were prepared and instead
of forwarding them to His Honor. the
Mayor, for his action thereon thereby
limiting his investigation TO the ten
days allowed him by law to either sign,
veto or allow to become operative with
out action the resolution adopting them,
the Board of Street and Water Commits
sioners, by resolution, requested the
Board of Finance to allow the specifi-
cations to be printed for the purpose Of
obtaining the criticisms and suggestions
from the public and from all possible
bidders who should examine them. The
request was granted and the specifiea-
tions We're printed as advertised matter
in the Evening Journal and News"
The board carefully considered all the
facts which the publication of the speci-
fications developed and revised and caus-
ed them as revised to be republished
for a second criticism or suggestion;
following this, the Board of Finance
passed a resolution suggesting amend
ments to these specifications as then re-
vised, the board incorporated these
amendments and then advertised for bids
based upon the specifications SO revised
and amended, feeling confident that
whatever bids might be produced by this
action would only be from responsible
parties because the terms of the speci-
fcation upon which they were asked to
bid, while severe. We're such that if COM
Piled with would amply protect the city.
ACT TO ALLOW CONDEMNATION.
During the preparation of the specif-
cations and pending the advertisement,
the Legislature of 1895 passed for the
city three acts authorizing it.
F'irst-To condemn for a water supply.
Second-To bona the city to the extent
of s500000 for water purposes without q
vote of the people, and the right to issue
Bonds to pay for a water supply at the

Substitute Report of the COM
mittee of the Whole.

The water problem has at last been
disposed of SO far as the Street and
Water Commissioners ere concerned.
The board at its meeting this morning
awarded the contract to the Jersey City
Water Company, which is composed of
New York bankers and one or two well
known men of this city. The company's s
proposition is to gather the new supply
from the Rockaway River watershed
by establishingt its main intake at Beach
Glen, with an incidental intake at
Powersville, at which point all the water
of the Roekaway shed centres.
L The contract is for a term of twenty
I.lgears, and gives the city the option to
ziuy the plant for s7.OOO,oe0 The award
provides for only single pipe line. The
intake at Beach Glen is al such an eie-
evation that the company claims the re-
quired head of go feet by gravity can

This pressure is sufficient to enable the

Then General Harnden, who belonged

STOCKTON, Cal, March 27.-The ex-
periments of growing sugar cane on an
island in San Juan county have been so
successful that the government is now
preparing to engage in the culture on a
larger scale. Two exports who were
recently sent here by the Spreckels peo-
pie to inquire into the governments
experiments in growing cane, were so
surprised by the developments that, they
ordered samples of first class cane from
the Hawaiian islands to make thorough
tests of the land here also. The cane
was received and has been set out for a
thorough test. The experts representing
the Spreckels company expect to see the
cane grow here to a height Of 80 feet,
and contain more saccharine matter
than any cane raised in this country.
