line of the city. and for an investigation
into the entire question of raising the
dam, together with an estimate Of the
damages that would result to the sur
rounding property.
The bill will go into conference some
day this week, and the differences between
the two houses will there be adjusted. in
Guiding this water supply question. The
House believes that there has been enough
surveying done already, and that there Is
rant the work being started as soon as
possible The Senate does not want to
spend any money on the work itself. but
is willing to spend $4,000 on a mere sur
vey that must inevitably result in a repe-
tition of the facts now well established.
The danger of the situation has been ably
set forth by Col. George ii. Elliot Of the
corps of engineers. now i'll charge of the
water supply of the District. in an inter
view in The Star in which that officer says
that unless something be done very quickly
this city will experience a terrible water
famine. He says. further. that there has
been more than enough preliminary work
done, that the only thing now to do is to
go ahead and raise the dam. before the
famine Is upon the city, and to pay for the
damages that result after they have been
caused. This. he points out, Is the easiest
and best way to calculate the cost.
So the matter hangs. The citizens Of
Washington have it in their power. per-
heps, to exercise a great influence upon
the question. These petitions must be
filed out promptly and sent to The Star
office without any delay, as the time is
very short.

DIED IN HIS OFFICE.

Chief Clerk OsEOOd. Stricken With
ApOpleNy, Expires In Two Hours.
Mr.. Harry G. Osgood, chief clerk to the
fourth assistant postmaster general. was
stricken with apopleXy in his office at the
Post Office Department little after noon
today, and died at six minutes past 2 this
afternoon, without having recovered con-
seriousness.
NJ. Osgood had arrived at the office at
the usual hour ana had given no indica-
ton OF being ill. About 12:;J he arose
The cooler was in the adjoining room. that
intermediate between the room occupied
by the chief clerk ard that used by MIR.
Maxwell, fourth assistant postmaster gen.
eral.
AS he approached the water cooler he
said to a clerk nearby that he felt strange
ly weak. He had covered half the neces-
sary distance when he made this remark.
After the words had been uttered his
heavy form quivered. and the few remain
ing steps were made with great effort. He
reached for the glass, began to sink to the
floor. at the same time throwing his hand
10 his left side above the nedrt.
The clerks rushed to his aid. but the vic
tim fell to the floor. He gasped several
times. His eyes closed and opened in an
appealing fashion. but his lips were with
out motion. Drs. Barrie and Brooks We're
called for and responded. Mrs. OsSood
was notified. and reached the side of her
husband before the end came.
All that medical skill could suggest was
done, but at 2:06 ne was pronounced dead.
Mr. Osgcod was an appointee of this adj
niIistration. He was a strong personal
friend of brother to Postmaster General
BiSsell and came here from LOckpOrt, N.
Y, soon after Mr.. Bissell assumed charge.
He leaves wife and three children. He
was about forty years old.

Unless the dam at the Great Falls is
of the engineer officers in charge. Wash
ington will soon suffer from a water
famine Already in many parts of the city
residents have suffered on account OF the
insufiic!ency of the supply of water deliver
ed from the conduit. Something must be
done at once. and The Star today affords
citizens of the District the means of getting
an appeal quickly before Congress.
Let every one who reads this, sign and
send at once to The Star office the accom-
panying coupon petition.
In many Instances it will be desirable to
use the coupon as the head of petitions
that will accommodate more signatures
than the coupon will contain. The petitions
thus signed will be arranged and sent to
the proper authorities.
The existing condition of things has long
been foIeshadowed. The accomplished en-
gineers of the army who have had charge
of the work of supplying the city with
water have been reporting to Congress
year after year that something must soon
be done to increase the pressure and the
amount of water furnished to the citizens.
The only way to do 1t is to raise the dam
at Great Falls.
The House of Representatives inserted an
item in the District of Columbia appropria-
ton bill apprepriating sl2J.U0 for the
work of raIsYg the dam at the falls The
Senate struck out this provision and In
serted in Its stead an item of $4,000 for
a survey to determine the feasibility of
using the tunnel now partially completed
and the reservoir north of the boundary

purpose of observing the progress that has
been made In equipping the tugs Hercules

tomac of ice, and also to inspect the ice

government tug Triton. The pillow Is of
heavy oak, covered with No. IA iron. and
weighs about six tons. 1t was in readiness
to be sent over by rail last evening, but
today the Commissioners received Informal
ton that such a course is practically I'M
possible, for it is claimed that if the i'm
mense pillow Is placed on a platform car 1T
will project too far to permit of passage
through tunnels, az d it cannot be accom-
modated in any ether style of car.
The tug Hercules. Harbor Master Sutton
stated to Star reporter, has broken Il
wheel, and she will not be able to move for
some time, but the Vulcan is to start down
the bag and move uD the pOtomaS at
the earliest possible moment, which will
probably be tomorrow morning. Mr.. SUIT
ton this afternoon sent one of his assistants
to Baltimore to come around on the tug.

THE SEWER BOND BILL.
An Intellectual Effort to Get an Even
ing Session for 1t.

Senator Harris today endeavored to Sc
cure unanimous consent for an evening
session OF the Senate tomorrow night for
the purpose of considering the bill author
izing the issue of bonds to the extent of
s. 500. 900 for the street and sewer extern
sion plan. He said: The sanitary condi-
ton and health of the city, as well as a
very large pecuniary interest of the people
of the city, are involved in this bill, and IT
is vastly important that the measure
should be considered and acted upon at the
earliest day possible 1 therefore ask that
the Senate shall devote a few hours of it's
spare time tomorrow evening to the con-
sideration of this bill
Prompt objections were entered by Sena-
tors Allen and Pettigrew, and Mr.. Harris
proposition failed. 1t is not at all likely
that any other effort Will be made to bring
up the sewer bill this session.

VALUE OF PROPERTY.
Difference of Opinion on the WASH
ingtcn Endowment Company Case.

According to a report filed this afternoon
by Mr. r. NJ Fields, of the receivers in
the case of the Washington Beneficial En-
dowment Association against the CONNER
cfaI Alliance Life Insurance Company,
there is difference of opinion between him
and his co-receiver, Mr.. a. A. LipScomb,
as to what is fair and reasonable offer
for the real estate of the associa ton sit
uated on 10th between ID and f. streets.
Explaining that at the advertised sale of
the property but S12,D'D was bid and that
they withdrew the p1 opcrty, Mr.. Fields
states that an offer of s22.HD cash
for it has been received from Jesse H.
Graham. That amount. reports Mr.. Fields,
he believes to be a fair and reasonable
price for the property, but in that opinion
Mr.. Lipscomb caErot coincide. Stating
that the assessed value of the property is
$l3192 and that several we'll Informed
men have agreed with him that S22,0D0 is
fair and reasonable price for it, Mr.. Fields
suggests that if the offer is seriously Oh
jected to, an order of reference to take tes-
timony concerning it may be passed by the
court

SILVER IN THE HOUSE.
A Resolution Similar to the WOlcOtt
One to he introduced.

1t is said today by Representative Living
ston of Georgia that silver resolution
similar to the one proposed in the Senate
by Mr.. Wolcott will be introduced in the
House. He says that it has not Yet been
decided who will he the sponsor for it, but
that perhaps he will be himself.
When asked how it was proposed 10 Sc
cure he's ing for the declaration. NJ. I1iv-
fngston said he supposed application would
be made 10 the committee on rules. The
success of such request is exceedingly
im{rO ba bic, both because the committe on
rules has majority against ne silver
movement and because there is not time
for consideration.

CARLISLE TO STAY.
The President Does Not Desire Him to
Leave the Treasury.

The President Does Not Desire Him to
Leave the Treasury.
1t can be stated on authority that there
Is no truth in the report which has been
current for some time that Secretary Car
Isle intends to resign. Nor is 1t true that
the President desires his resignation with
a view to his nomination to the Supreme
bench. Mr.. Cleveland desires the Secre-
tary to remain at the head Of the Treas
ury Department during his full term of
office, and consequently. unless something
now unforeseen changes the present status,
should a vacancy occur in the Supreme
Court during the next two years. some one
other than Mr.. Carlisle will receive the
nomination.
The bill retiring Justice Jackson is still
pending in the Senate, but there is said to
be little chance of its becoming Il law dur
ing the present session. Senator Harris.
who has charge OF the measure, has no ex-
pectation of its passage
HorEblower or Peckhnm.
Should 1T become a law, however, 1t is
understood that the President would al
most certainly nominate to the vacancy
either MIR. Hornblower, whose nomination
was rejected by the Senate during the last
session. or Mr.. Rufus Peckham of the
New York court of appeals.
MIR. Cleveland, however, would not SUD
ject Mr.. HoIublower to another rejection,
and therefore the temper of the Senate on
the question of his confirmation would lie
ascertained before any action was taken.
There is said TO have been a change in the
feelings of several Senators. and it is said
to be by no means certain that his re-
nomination would not be confirmed by q
good majority. Senator Pugh is said to be
of the Senators who have come to
the conclusion that his rejection was a
mistake which should be corrected in case
an opportunity arises to do SO.
