"The Jersey City News

A special meeting of the Board of FL
evening. The call is signed by Presi-
dent j. M. Jones. The meeting is called
for the sole purpose of considering the
water problem.
The resolution of the old Street and
Water Board awarding the contract for
furnishing the city with a new supply
of water is still in the hands of the
Committee of the Whole 1t is an an
noying document, and although rumor
has it that the resolution is not to he

Commissioners Detwiller, Simpson and
Bailey that to reject the Jersey City
Water Company's proposition is to pur-
sue course that will probably make
themselves exceedingly unpopular Off
cials.
PRESIDENT JONES FIRM.
The demand for pure water is so great,
and so few, if any, voices are being
raised in opposition, that there is a pos
sibility of favorable faction being taken
tomorrow night. President Jones was at
the Mayors office early this morning.
He did not care particularly about dis
cussing the situation, but remarked
that he had not changed his opinion
about concurring in the award to the
Jersey City Company. The other Com
missionerss decline to discuss the sub
ject at all.

Arkansas, to enter into an agreement OF settle
ment. subject to the approval Of Congress.
Arkansas pulled herself together, started ont
her swsmp-lsnd sleuths, and in less than six
months had gathered enough "caims" to az
gregate within $572 of the total Southern and
Chickasaw funds, interest and all, though she
coolly refused to compute any interest after the
maturity of the bonds, on the plea that il
could not be collected at law, and therefore she
should not be charged with it.
In the case of the Smithson fund she chopped
of cool million of interest aud smiled at the
innocence of the Government in charging it.

change for receipt in full for the funds and a
return of all the bonds she generously added

by the Commission, and on Feb. % 1895. Con-

To sum up the situation Arkansas owes the

over $4,000 600, and her bonds, with never q

Boston will soon be provided with under

letters or other small articles. The city has
given permission to a company to lay conduits
through certain streets, so that every sub-sta-

be three inches in diameter and sunk three
feet below the surface. Through this parcel

Since stationed at Detroit, in 1883. Gen. Poe
has had charge of the rivers and lakes from
Lake Erie to the st. Hary's River, inclusive.
The two largest worksupon which he has been
engaged since that time were the building OF
the new 500 foot lock at the St. Mary's fall and
canal, and the construction Of the 20 and Il loot

In addition he has had immediate charge OF
operating and care of the st. Mary's Falls Canal

engaged in improving the Detroit River chan

active service on the 10th day Of the same

died during the past FIVE years, and the grief

DENVER MAKES MERRY.
Military and Bicycle Parades in the
Mountain and Plain Fes-
tiVal

Denver, Col. Oct. 17.-Never has such
a crowd been seen at Denver as that
now in attendance at the first annual
Festival of Mountain and Plain. Rail-
roads estimate that they have brought
$4,000 passengers to the city the past
two days.
A grand military parade was given this
forenoon, in which the federal troops
from Fort Logan, the entire National
guard of the state Of Colorado and
Grand Army posts and Sons of Veterans
participated. The parade was followed
this forenoon by drills by both federal
and state troops.
A unique feature of the celebration to-
day was furnished by the bands of Santa
Clara or Pueblo Indians and the Utes,
oId-time foes, who now occupy adjoining
camps in the city park. The PUeblos
gave the Arco or bowand-arrow dance
and the Utes a social dance, music being
furnished by the Teller institute band
of Indian boys.
Tonight there will be an Illuminated
wheelman's parade. Some marvellous
effects are shown in the electric i!lumi-
nation of the city each night.

UNION PACIFIC DEAL.
Interview with ChaunCey DepeW
on the Plans for the Re-
organization.

New York, Oct. 17.-Chauncey NJ. De
pew, asked about the report that the
Vanderbilt interests would predominant
in the reorganization of the Union Pa
cific and that the result would be that
the Vanderbilts would practically secure
control of the road and that by this
time would satisfy a long-cherished wish
to own a transcontinental line, replied:
"We saw that story printed while we
were in the West, but there is not the
slightest truth in it. The report may
have grown out of the fact that Mr..
Hughitt and myself were appointed
members of the reorganization COM
mittee, but that is the only framework
on which to build the story. We are
not trying to attend to any scheme of
that kind"
1t is said that among the provisions
of the Union Pacific reorganization plan
are these: An assessment of SIS on
stock, for which preferred stock may
be given; an issue of $100,00O000 per
cent. bonds for the firsts and the govern
ment debt; an issue of $75,000,000 pre-
ferred stock.
Bondholders will get new bonds at par
and five shares of preferred stock for
each $1,000 bonds. The common stock
will probably remain unchanged. People
who are now applying for an interest in
the Union Pacific underwriting syndicate
are told that they are too late and that
earlier applicants are getting much less
than the amount applied for. The plan
will probably be announced at once.

REFUGEES ON WARSHIPS.
French and Russian Officers Are
Caring for Unfortunate
ArmenianS.

Constantinople, Oct. 1.-THE appeal Of
the Sultan to the Russian ambassador,
A. j. De NeIidoff, to cause the recall of
the order for a Russian gunboat to go
to Trebizond, proved futile. French and
Russian steamers are taking numbers of
Armenian refugees from Trebizond.
The report of riot at Akhissar, IN the
villatet Of Adm on the Anatolian railway,
during which fifty Armenians were killed
on October 8, market day, by Moslem
mob is confirmed. The Turks picked a
quarrel with the unarmed Armenians
and afterward the former, being armed
with revolvers and knives, looted the mar
ket and massacred the helpless Chris
tians, afterwards throwing their bodies
into the wells. Twenty bodies have al
ready been recovered from the wells and
have been inferred in the presence of the
Armenian bishop of Ismid.
Izzet Effendi, the celebrated Turkish
lawyer, who was arrested recently,
charged with being the author of the
placards in favor of the Armenians which
were posted at STEAMBOAT, has, according
to the official announcement, died in the
Vildiz prison, where he was confined
while awaiting trial.

OCEAN GRAYHoUNDS RACE.
St. Louis and Majestic Competing in the
Mail Service.

New York. Oct. 1.-THE American
line steamer ST. Louis sped from the
harbor yesterday on its run with the mails
across the ocean. 1t left the pier in the
North River four hours ahead of it's
rival, the White Star liner Majestic, but
that fact may not in the least stif1e the
ambition of the craft to get their postal
matter in London first.
What lends additional interest to the
journey of the two ships is the fact that
through the medium of the st. Louis
the American line starts with this trip
a postal contract with the United States
government that will net the steamship
company $644,S00 a year. or S6,448, 600
for the ten years in which the agreement
will hold good These figures are given
on the basis of one trip to Europe each
week by any Of the four greyhounds,
the st. Louis, st. Paul, Paris or New
York
Each trip will be made over a course
averaging 31G0 sea miles from dock to
dock. the rate Of compensation being 81
a mile. or $12,40 a trip. This postal
revenue to the company is exclusive of
any the British government may give for
the home passages.
