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
sufficient information now in hand to war
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 $1,000 on a mere sur
vey that must inevitably result in repe-
tition of the facts now we'll established.
The danger of the situation has been ably
set forth by Col. George II. Elliot of the
corps of engineers. now in 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 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-
haps, to exercise a great influence upon
the question. These petitions must be
filled out promptly and sent to The Star
office without any delay, as the time is
very short.

UNITED STATES WILL PAY.
The British mbassadOr's Assurance
to His GONcrnment.

LONDON, February 19.-Sir George
Baden-Powell asked the government in the
house of commons this evening whether it
could give any information concerning the
payment of $425, 600, which the government
of the United States has undertaken to
pay. under the general award of the Paris
Boring sea tribunal. as compensation for
the seizure of British sealing vessels in the
Boring sea, and whether steps have been
taken for the appropriation of this sum by
the American Congress before the adjourn
ment of the present session.
Sir George Baden-Powells motion was
replied to by Sir Edward Grey, parla-
mentary secretary for the foreign office
Sir Edward said that there was no reason
to doubt that the American Congress, be-
fore adjourning on the 4th of March, would
appropriate the sum the government had
asked for, as Sir Julian Pauncefote her
majesty's ambassador at Washington had
reported that such action was looked for
Sir Edward further said that an agree
ment between the United States and Rus
STA relative to sealing in the Boring sea
and the North Pacific ocean had been con-
c1uded in May last. The government had
learned of no intention to alter it, The
chief provisions of the agreement were
similar to those in tone concluded between
Russia and England.

LICENSE CONTROVERSY.
Questions Raised Over N Goth Street
saloon.

Questions Raised over u sVth StreSs
An interesting hearing took place late
this afternoon before the excise board on
the application of Luke ]. kearney for
license to conduct a saloon at llol 2otn
street northwest. Until recently the saloon
was the property of Michael Carley, put
the latter sold out to Kearney. Before the
transfer Carley made out application LOT
license and now Kearney desires that the
game be issued to him.
TIE application is being vigorously op-
posed on the ground that the saloon mas
borne a bad reputation, that WITHIN Two
blocks of 1t are eight other saloons. ana
that certain residents of. the locality nave
been offered sums of money for their sig
natures to the application. At the hearing
this afternoon Attorney Mills Dean ap-
peared for Kearney. while Mr.. Shoemaker
and Judge Arson S. Taylor represented the
opposition. Vice President James L.. Ewln
of the Anti-saloon League was an IN
terested spectator.
Mr. Dean argued that even though the
saloon under the management of Aarley
might have borne a bad reputation that
Is no reason why a license should be re-
fused Kearney. 1t was emphatically de-
MED that money had been offered for Sig
natures The hearing was enlivened great
ly by the exchange Of repartee between
counsel.

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
insufficiency 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 1t 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 foreshadowed. 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 it is to raise the dam
at Great Falls.
The House of Representatives inserted an
item in the District of Columbia appropria-
ton bill appropriating s125.OOO for the
work of raising the dam at the falls. The
Senate struck out this provision and in
serted In its stead an item of $4,000 for
q survey to determine the feasibility of
using the tunnel now partially completed
and the reservoir north of the boundary

Albany N. Y, February 19.-Thos. c.
Platt Is expected to reach the capital at 4:15
this afternoon for a consultation with re-
publican members of the legislature upon
the subject Of the patronage in New York
city. He will also. it is alleged. consult
with Gov. Morton. There Is some expecta-
ton that conference may be arranged
through the governor between Mayor
Strong and Mr.. Platt or between their rep
resentatives looking toward compromise
on the patronage question.
A statement signed by ten of the sixteen
republican assemblymen from New York
city has been made public today. 1t Is in
Fart as follows:
Mayor Strong was not elected upon a
republican party platform. AS candidate
lie stood upon the platform of the COM
mittee of seventy. The republican party
in the city and county of New York CUB
scribed 10 that platform by nominating
to his support.
AS candidate Mayor Strong had the
confidence of the Independent men, whose
votes We're absolutely essential to the sue
cess OF the city ticket. He still retains
the confidence of thes men. Public opinion
in New York city demands the passage of
certain reform measures relating to NUM-
cipal affairs. The republican party will be
held responsible for any delay or failure
to pass these measures. No mistakes of
Mayor Strong nor any personal disap-
pointment over the distribution of patron
age will excuse such delay failure
The statement is made, as representing
the claim of the Plat republicans, that the
conference today will demand that unless
1t can be shown that the patronage of the
state department of public works is not
equal to that controlled by Mayor Strong
a general power of removal bill for the
governor shall be introduced and passed.

"What are you going to Albany for, Mr.
Platt?'

part of the sentence was spoken most
emphatically.
What about the rumored conference be-

II can't say yet. Really. 1 don't know

Clubs and Liquor Licenses,

The attorney for the District S. T. Thorn
as, has forwarded to the Commissioners
the opinion of Judge Miller of the Police
Court, in the case of the District against
Charles w. Holmes. commonly called the
National Press Club case. In his letter
Mr. Thomas states some little difference
may be noticed between the opinion as
transmitted and the points of the opinion
as given in the newspapers several days
ago
The pith of the decision, according to the
attorney, Is that the excise law is directed
to the sale of Intoxicating liquors and that
unless Incorporated clubs engage in selling
or trafficking in intoxicating liquors they do
not need license. This view of the law, it
is stated. will put the District on proof in
prosecutions against clubs that they were
engaged in the sale of liquor, as the word
sale is ordinarily understood. thus leav-
ing the question whether the club was or
ganized for the purpose of evading the
liquor law one of fact for the court or jury
in the particular case.

From the Atchson Globe.


Every mans life, no matter how humble,
would furnish an interesting book if clev-
erly written. You can't always tell by
glance at man what his past has been.
There is a humble carpenter in town who
was the prize orator at an eastern college.
Not far from the home of the writer of
this there lives an ugly decrepit old woman
who was considered in her youth the hand
soonest girl in Kentucky. Poems were
written about her, men went crazy over
her, and duels were fought by jealous ad-
mirers Yet she married worthless man
who got drunk I, and. abused her. The in
tenseiy religious life. followed by another
man in town is the result of remorse over
having caused the death of comrade
great many years ago. A woman who was
once presented at court in England is not
admitted to the best society in Atchison. A
highly respectable citizen sends $1,000
year away to the conscience fund at Wash
ington. Young people are interesting for
what they are, but the older folks are more
interesting for what they have been, If
they could be induced to tell the story.

From the Atchison Globe.
Here Is true story. man living in
West Atchison went to western Kansas
some years ago, leaving his wife here He
did not write to her, and she lost track of
him altogether. Finally she heard that he
was dead. and married another man. They
lived happily, and several children were
born to them. Imagine the woman's sur
prise few weeks ago when her first hus-
band returned to town. He called on her
and told her that as she was his lawful
wife he wanted her to leave the other man.
The two men got together and talked the
matter over. They went to certain JUS
tice of the peace and caused him to draw
up an agreement to the effect that the wo-
man was to live with her first husband a
certain length Of time, and If she was not
satisfied he was to draw off and the other
man to take her. The second husband has
left town, and she Is now living with her
first husband. If this arrangement Is not
satisfactory after the time specified in the
contract has expired the second husband
will return and claim her.

Unusual Interest Shown in the Phil

is Observed.
MUCH SCRATCHING DON

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, February 10
Philadelphia is voting today for candidates
for mayor, receiver of taxes, twelve police
magistrates, eleven select councilmen and
seventy-nine common councilmen. The
weather is mild and spring-like, with
bright sun shining. The day is being gen.
orally observed as a holiday, and conse-
quently the streets are crowded with peo-
pie.
There is unusual interest in the election.
and the vote up to l o'clock is said to be
universally heavy.
There is very little straight voting. Ow-
ing to the fact that the Australian system
of voting is used, 1t is difficult to make a
guess as to the way the election is going.
Gov Pattison in an interview today ex-
pressed himself confident that he would
lie elected by about 10000 plurality.
On the other hand, Mayor Stuart and
other republican leaders claim that Chas.
F. Warwick will win by at least $4,000
plurality. Struggling reports received in
dictate that regards the head of the
ticket the party lines are strictly drawn,
some Independent republicans are voting
for PattiSon, and it is generally believed
that Roney is being cut to such an extent
that his election Is a matter of doubt. The
reformers are making an aggressive fight
for good councilmen, and they will I'M
douhtedly win in many wards The mum
icipal league has watchers employed in
nearly every one of the nearly 1000 diviS-
ions in the city, and is making a determined
effort to prevent cheating.
To this end it has notified every election
officer that any one caught signing an
election return before the polls closed
would be prosecuted and sent to Jail.
In some divisions 1t has been the practice
to prepare the returns early in the day,
giving whatever majority may be mutually
agreed upon, without regard to the vote
actually cast. Reports from the strong
holds of the pennsylvania democracy
the faction opposed to the leadership of
National Chairman Harrity, indicate that
the followers of this section of the demo-
cratic organization are lending their sup

BENEFITS FROM THE PARK.
The Rock Creek Park Commission
Taking Testimony.

The Rock Creek Park commission con-
tinued today its work of ascertaining
whether or not any benefits have resulted
to adjacent real estate because of the es-
tablishment of the park and it's prospective
Improvement. The members of the COM
mission present today were District Com
missioner Chas. +. POWELL General IL. v.
Boynton and Mr.. r. Ross Perry.
At the session yesterday afternoon ex-
Collector John f. Cook testified that in his
opinion no benefits had resulted to real
estate adjoining the park. AT today's ses-
sion Mr.. F. l.. Moore, formerly plstrict
assessor. stated that he believed the in
tention of the government to select the
park had increased the value of ground
which il was thought would be taken, al
though he cannot say that there has been
any general Increase in value since the
establishment of the park.
