M. Gray has very high repu-
tation as sewer engineer, and our
citizens, through their city admin
istration, have placed their conf.
dence in his honesty and ability.
This confidence has been badly
shaken by Mr.. Gray's change Of
opinion as to the quality Of the
Kampmann brick, and home ma
terial generally.
Mr.. Gray had rejected all the
home brick submitted to him, in
GLIDING the best specimens of
Kampmann brick. None Of them
came up to Mr.. Gray's standard.
But it seems that a miracle has
been performed upon Mr.. Gray. He
has discovered that the Kampmann
brick "hsrdens with age" and he
gives it as his opinion that the
brick is good enough.
It is understood that this change
Of base on the part of Mr.. Gray is
worth at least $4,000 to the con-
tractors.
Now Mr.. Gray has proven to the
satisfaction of every sensible man
in the city that his usefulness as q
consulting engineer is gone. If he
is correct now, he was very wrong
before.
Mr.. Gray's opinion about brick,
cement or home engineers, is not
worth the paper on which it is
written, because 1t is subject to
miraculous mutation.
Mr.. Gray has been paid his own
price for his work; he has had his
own way about everything; the
people have paid first-class price
for first-class article in the shape
Of sewer plans and specifications,
but as consulting engineer he is
becoming a high-priced luxury
anu en1lreiy unnecessary
Let the city council take Mr..
Grsy's opinion for all 1t is worth
he has pronounced our engineer
department even better than our
brick. What Is the need of send
ing for him again
The city council will be derelict
in their duty to the people II they
don't bounce Mr.. Gray at once. We
can find just as good man for the
money-if the home material won't
do.

The Nicaraguan Canal.

The judgment Of those senators who have
remained In the city during the recess is that
the Nicaragua Canal bill cannot pass at this
session. 1T IL not a favorable time TO urge
such measure said Senator Davis. OF the
Foreign Relations Committee. Times have
been so hard and the people did not like the
prospects OF increasing expenses or OF Great
ing an additional debt. The short session of
Congress Il not favorable time to urge
such a measure, as sufficient time can be
easily consumed to secure the defeat"
There are other senators who discuss the
subject In much the same way. Several of
those who favor the project think that the
present consideration OF the measure is n
good thing as more or less discussion is
bound to be had. This is the view Of Senator
White. who favors the canal, but does not see
the possibility Of getting the bill through at
this session. Senator White says that the
proposition to send an engineer commission
to Nicaragua TO make another examination
and survey, II merely dilatory one put for
ward by the opponents of the project to pre-.
vent action.

rhe Japanese Soldiers Not Thought to

The japanese authorities here have not
received any information concerning the re-
ported extreme suffering of the Japanese
,oldiegs from tho cold in China. Chancellor
Sakayama, of the legations, says that II was
lully understood that the rlgors OF the cli-

that 1t has shelter in the payodas, temples,
