In about one hour it bad entiEely dis

The first annual report Of the 70
chester electric light plant contains
figures that are interesting, not only
to the taxpayers, but to any city coz
templating electric street lighting.
The report shows that the Gust Of 69
arc street lamps averages about k2d
per annum, without computing the in
terest on the cost of the plant or al
lowing for it's depreciation in valse.
The cheapest arc lights furnished by
any company where fuel is about the
same price as in Rochester is at Aus
tin. That city pays $50 per lamp of
only 1900 candle power, while here
the lamps are rated at 1900 candle
power. Under the system in use pre-
eeding the putting in of a plant Here
by the Western Electric Company, 66
gas lights were maintained at rex
pense of &22 each per year and IL arc
lights at $50 each. In addition to
these oil lamps were kept in repaid on
the outskirts of the city. The old pp-
-
position to the plant is melting avhy,
as the city il now we'll lighted at tss
expense to the taxpayer.

said:
"Those mon / have beiriended

Artificial Reservoir Bursts

The collapse of an artificial reser-

Sixth streets destroyed consider
able property and probably fatally
injured J. A. Keller, the engineer.
The theory advanced by some Of

movement of the water, gradually
weakened the walls OF the build.

come that engineer Keller did not

PENDING rA1LoR's STRIKE.
They Propose to Wipe Out the mi
quitous Swsat-Shop System as
One Object of the Strike

NEW YORK, July 15.-Delegates
OF the Brotherhood of Tailors from
$50 shops, one from each shop, met
last night in Wslahaal hall to re-
port the sentiments Of their fellow
workers regarding the proposed
general strike. All the delegates
reported that their employers had
determined to resist the new agree
ment and the workers were in
favor of striking. The meeting en-
dorsed the strike and voted uuani-
mously to place the full manage
ment in the hands of Meyer Schoen-
field and the executive committee
of the brotherhood. Schoenfeld
said last night:
1--WE are pledged to name one
day on which the strike will begin
so that the bosses will not have
any advantage. In fact the time
will not be known until five min.
utes before the strike Is ordered.
While this strike is for a new agree
ment with better wages and con-
siderations, we shall make 1t the
opportunity for wiping the sweat
shop system out Of existence. OF
the 5000 members of the union y
800 are at present working in tene-
ments under the sweatshop sys.
tenn. We will on no account settle
with the employers Of these people
as the sweatshop system would
continue If we did. We are tired
of waiting for the factory inspect
ors to put an end to the system and
are going to end it ourselves at one

ENGLISH POLITICS.
THE LIBERALS ARE NOT IN IT A
LITTLE BIT.
The Tories Are On Top And
10. Chamberlain And His Par
ty Will Have No Influence
In Affairs.

NEW YORK, July ia dispatch
to the World from London says:
the defeat of VIM. Harcourt is like
ly to be followed by that Of three
other leading members Of the Rose
berry cabinet. Herbert Asquith,
Campbell, Bannerman and John
Morles hold their seats by small
majorities, and all the present in
dications are that the close seats
will be uniformly carried by the
unionists. 1t is the English Gus.
tom when a party leader is beaten,
for somel obscure supporter who
has q safe seat to offer 1t to the de.
feated one. But this is always
loss of prestige to the leader who
is repudiated by his own consti-
tuency. It is q waterloo. But Mr..
Chamberlain's faction is only q
little less disappointed than the
liberals, for II there Is to be, as
seems likely, . unionists' majority
in the next House of over 100 the
Tory section can almost afford to
ignore the liberal unionist vote.
It is certain that the tories will do
so II they can.
The labor candidates at Satur-
days elections, having no hope Of
their own success, cost the liberals
three seats. In return, it Is likely
that Hardie, the labor champion Of
the House, will be defeated by the
abstention or absence Of the Irish
voters in his constituency.
In Ireland the situation is de.
plorable. OF course, there was the
Redmond split to begin with, and
now Timothy Healy has fatally
divided the McCarthyite party.
The really patriotic Irish leaders
today are hopeless. Sexton, the
ablest of them, certainly will retire
in disgust. Redmond owing to
to Healy's recent attacks :on his
own associates, is likely to capture
two seats in Cork next Wednesday.
DAILY, who was elected in Limerick
the other day, is in Portland prison
for dynamite outrages, and OF
course will be denied seat. John
Parnell Is the Redmond candidate
in Meath. At a mass meeting OF
his McCarthyite opponents an old
letter concerning him, from his
brother, Charles Stuart Parnell,
was read by priest. 1t was writ
ten in 1888, and began as follows:
81 would not recommend my
brother John rs candidate for
county Carlow or any other Irish
constituency, as do not think he
would make a suitable representa-
tive"
1t is Kilkenny fight all around.
1t has helped put the tories in
power again for an indefinite pc
riod, and Ireland will continue to
be sacrificed to private passions
and ambitions.

THE MORA AWARD.
1t Was Made the Occasion of At
tempted Raids On the Unit
ed States Treasury.

New YORK, July ia special
to the World from Washington
says: SPANS disposition Of the
Mora claim, as indicated by cable,
will at last defeat the intrigues OF
Americas foreign claim sharps.
For years a coterie of diplomats
at Washington and Madrid have
sought to make the settlement Of
this historic award conditional up
on the acknowledgement of coun-
ter claims by the United States.
The story of this plotting to mulct
the government in millions brings
to light serious diplomatic scan
dial and shows how the Mora claim
has secretly been made to figure as
an important incident in a scheme
for securing the transfer Of Cuba
to the United States.
Nathaniel Paige, the well-known
international lawyer, who for years
represented the Mora family, fur
nishes documents and letters which
seem to throw q flood OF light on
distractions interposed to prevent
the payment of the Mora award.
Mr.. Paige signally charges ex-
secretary Of state and ex-minister
to Spain, John M. Foster, with op-
posing this award. Mr.. Foster has
denied the charge and Mr.. Paige
now comes forward with papers
which he claims substantiates the
charge. Mr.. Paige however, charges
that several Spanish ministers to
this country, as we'll as attaches of
the French legation, INSTRUCTED the
Mora interest and tried to induce
him to press claims they held and
hold up the Mora claims.
Mr.. Mora is living in West 63rd,
New York City with his daughter.
