The correspondent Of the Japan Mail, In
speaking of the arrival OF the japanese

nineteen bodies of their countrymen be-

PROBABILITY That n POpulfst May Come

Texans in the city are discussing the
matter of successor to the late Congress

in the eleventh district Congressman Grain

republicans came nearer being successful

ceived 17,946 votes to 16,0S9 for V. Weldon.
.ne popuiist candidate. Even the demo-
Gratis admit that had 1t not been for some
doubtful border votes Grain would not
have been elected
TWO democrats are mentioned for the
nom1nation by that party. One is James
Wells, the most prominent lawyer in
BrownVille, who has often been mentioned
for the place. The other is State Senator
Debren Of Guadalupe county. Mr. Wells
law practice Is very lucrative one, and it
Is doubtful If he can be induced TO accept
a nomination. especially when there is Sc
much doubt Of an election. The populists
will again put up Mr.. Weldon, If he wants
tne I,a domination, and he will receive the re-
publican support. Ben Terrell, who was
once the national lecturer Of the alliance
may ask for the nomination. He tried for
the populist nomination two years ago, but
was defeated by Weldon.

INCREASED WATERi SUPPLY
Gen 0raighill is Of the Opinion That Oiti-
zens Can Assist.
Balance of the Appropriation Can Re
Made Available by a Joint
Resolution of Congress.

Gen. Craighill, chief Of engineers said to.
day that he was glad to see that The Star
was taking such an active interest in the
movement for an increase of the water
supply of Washington. He sincerely hoped
1t would be successful, ard said he would
do everything in his power to make 1t So
1nasmuch as every resident of the city is
vitality inter ested in having en- adequate
supply of water, he thought that each and
every one should do what he could to bring
about the desired result. In the opinion OF
Gen. Craighill, concentrated effort should
be made at once to secure legislative au.
thorty for the completion of the Lydecker
tunnel, there being 40 longer any doubt
that an ir creased water supply can be
more easily obtained in that way, and a,
far less expense, than by. any other known
method.
Should Begin Work mt Once.
If the tunnel Is to be utilized. Gen. Craig
hill said. 1t would be well to begin the
work of repairing it at once. He called
attention to the fact that there is q bal
ance of about $4,000 remaining from the
original appropriation for the construction
Of the tunnel. which could be made imme-
diately aI ailable COR beginning the work,
by the passage of joint resolution of Con-
gress to that effect. The amount would be
sufficient to make a good start. In case 1t
was made available there would be no i'm
mediate necessity for any appropriation by
Congress, this amount would be suffi-
cient to carry the work along for several
months
According to the estimate of the engi-
neering experts. the entire project for an
Incl eased supply of water can be COM
pleted for less than 5000 900, and the sys-
tenn would be sufficient to meet the grow
Ing needs of the District for at least a
score OF years to come, allowing for the
constantly increasing consumption with
the growth of the city.
Should De No Delay.
Secretary Lamont, Gen. Craighill, and, in
fact, all officials who have Investigated
the subject, are agreed that the water sup
ply should be increased at once, and that
there should be as little delay as possible
in the completion of the Lydecker tunnel,
in order to accomplish that most desired
result

THE CASE OF MISS DAME.
Result of n Conference With the Sec
retary by Senator Chandler.

HesuAt Ot conference With the Sec.
retary by Senator Chandler.
Senator Chandler of New Hampshire had
an Interview with Secretary Carlisle at
the Treasury Department this morning in
reference to the case of Miss Harriet P.
Dame, the venerable war nurse, who was
recently dropped from the treasury rolls
because she had exhausted her legal leave
of absence. Subsequently, In conversation
with Star reporter. Senator Chandler
said he deprecated the effort being made to
make an issue of this case 1t was impos-
sible, under the law, to keep her on the
rolls under the circumstances, he said, and
1t was necessary to secure the services of
an active clerk in her place. The press of
work in the office at present required it.
Secretary Carlisle had stretched the law as
far as he could in her case, said Senator
Chandler, and he assured him. this morning
that he would reinstate Miss Dame in Of
flee as soon as she is able to return to the
department. She is eligible. for reiusta te-
ment at any time within the next wear II
is explained that inasmuch as Miss Dame
could not legally be paid any salary during
her absence beyond the leave; allowed bv
law, dropping her from the roll did MT
really change the financial aspect of the
case. Senator Chandler Is Of opinion that
Secretary Carlisle has done ali he can in
the matter by directing the reinstatement
of Miss Dame as soon as 1t can possibly ia
done within the law.

TALKING FOR IRELAND.
Mr.. Dillon Speaks of the Queens
Brief References.


LONDON, February 12.-In the house Of
commons today the debate on the address
in reply to the queens speech. was re-
sumed Mr. John Dillon, member for East
Mayo, anti-Parnellite, said he would be Sur
prised If the ''beggarly character OF the
references to ireland in the speech did not
N ore firmly fix in the minds of the Irishmen
the conviction that nothing could be OBJ
tained from England except by violent agi-
tation.
Continuing, Mr.. Dillon contrasted the
treatment Of DR.. Jameson's force with the
treatment of Irish political prisoners, and
said he would oppose the additional ex-
penditures proposed for the navy, unless
part of the surplus was devoted to Ireland.
Mr.. Dillon also announced an amendment
to the address censuring the government
for not proposing self-government for Ire
land. They were taunted, Mr.. Dillon con-
tinued, by the government with having lost
control of the Irish nationalists in America
He regretted this loss of control and the
Withholding of the support they had re-
ceived therefrom for many years, but no
English statesman, he asserted, who was
anxious to solve the Irish question would
rejoice that the Irish in America had lost
faith in constitutional agitation.
Not long ago, Mr.. Dillon further stated.
there was a great deal of talk about Brit
ish ships blowing up American cities. Suoh
language, he ADDED, has happily ceased. and
rhe English people had learned that Presi-
dent Cleveland's message was not an cleo
ton dodge, but spoke the voice Of the
American nation, which was not afraid to
face the arbitrament of war il the English
refused arbitration. But arbitration was 10
be accepted now, after America had been
forced to threaten. 1t would have been
more decent if Great Britain had accepted
arbitration when Secretary Olney suggest
ed 1t. He warned the government. in con-
clrsion, that the Irish party would resist
to the utmost any idea of war between
Great Britain and the United States
Mr.. John Redmond, Parnellite, member
for Waterford, combated the Marquis Of
Salisbury's declaration that home rule waa
dead, and he wanted to know what was
the present attitude OF the liberal leaders
toward home rule, whether they were still
in alliance with the nationalists, and what
were the terms of the alliance.
